Historique
The father of John Kirby (1772-1846), John Kirby Senior, emigrated from Tadcaster, Yorkshire, to New York State, with his wife and two sons, William and John, and his daughter Ann, shortly before the outbreak of the American War of Independence. He obtained land near Crown Point and engaged in farming. His sympathies were royalist. In 1791, Ann Kirby married Robert Macaulay of Kingston. Macaulay, with Thomas Markland, was engaged in the forwarding business. They were joined in 1796 by John Kirby who took over the firm after the withdrawal of Markland and the death of Robert Macaulay. He also carried on a hardware business. Mr. Kirby was for many years a member of the Legislative Council of Upper Canada and Colonel in the Frontenac Militia.
