Permelia Roden was sister to my Martha Evergreen.They were children of William R Kirkland and Melinda Tucker.
William and Melinda had 3 daughters (1) Permelia b 1852 (2) Rebecca Ellen b 1855 (3) Martha Evergreen b 18 Dec 1856 (my line).Shortly after Martha was born William left (a. or died, b. could have changed name to William R. Derrick because of Civil War crimes). 1860 Census shows Melinda living as head of house next door to parents with 3 female children. Her parents were John andMartha Tucker.She came with girls Permelia Roden and Martha Evergreen Baird to TX.Melinda is burind at Boxender, Red River Co., TX.
There are a couple of ideas about William R. Kirkland
(1) born in SC to Father Richard Kirkland, Mother Elizabeth Anderson
(2) born in Swain NC to Father John Kirk, Mother Oma
