I've done more research and have found that a few of the facts I listed in my former post are incorrect.
CORRECTIONS:
(1) John Kirk, Sr., was born in 1794. The date of death (22 Mar 1871) is correct. His gravestone in St. John's United Church Cemetery in Carleton, NB, confirms these facts.
(2) John and Elizabeth Kirk had to have immigrated to Canada before 1821. John's obituary in the Carleton Sentinel (1 Apr 1871) states that he was "a native of Dumfries, Scotland" and "was nearly 50 years a resident of Richmond".
