William Kirkman md Charlotte Wooldridge
Does anyone know where William Kirkman came from? The census records say he was born in Tenn or Ky. He was born about 1800. Two of Charlotte's sisters were married in Kentucky but I can not find any marriage record for William and Charlotte. The earliest record I can find is a letter posted in the newspaper in 1824 in Cooper County, Missouri. He bought land there in 1827. The last record I can find of him is in a court record in 1840. William and Charlotte are the parents of Samuel md Susan Shoemaker, Mary md Henry Gremshaw, Starling md Sarah Dorsey, Sydera md Washington Shoemaker, Rebecca md John Richey, and Thomas Kirkman.
