I am a descendant of John Kirby, baptized 4 Jan 1624 in Rowington, Warwickshire, England. Parents Humphrey and Marjorie White Kirby. He emigrated to Boston on the Hopewell 11 Sep. 1636. Married Elizabeth Hinds 1644. There is an in depth write up on him as a Fist Settler of Middletown, Connecticut. It says "it is assumed Richard of Sandwich and Joseph of Hartford were his relatives." A lot of the information in the write up was taken from the book "Kirbys of New England" by Dwight 1908.
