Second wife, Hannah England, a sister of the first. Hannah was born 1793 and now resides at " Kirk's Mills." Jacob Kirk Lived in Little Britain, Lancaster county, Pa., where he purchased considerable real estate and built what is now known as Kirk's Mills, a small village containing several mills, a store, post-office, &c, &c. Timothy, born 1781; supposed to have died about the year 1839. Married 1805, to Mary, daughter of Jacob and Esther Reynolds. She was born 1788, and died 1840. Timothy Kirk, for many years, was extensively engaged in business, and was a member of the State Legislature for seven sessions. He owned, at one time, half the land on which the borough of Oxford is situated. While residing in Oxford he owned a hotel, store and several farms and mills. Prior to the completion of the railroad from Philadelphia to Baltimore, the main stage road led through Oxford ? this place being a station and one of the "relays." Timothy Kirk was interested in this "line of stages" and in running cars on the Pennsylvania Railroad. In the year 1837 he became pecuniarily [particularly] involved. To escape trouble he departed, and finally sailed for Europe, and remained on the continent for some time. In 1839 he proposed returning, and embarked for Boston, but never reached America. In the early months of that year several sailing vessels were shipwrecked on the New England coast, all the passengers being lost. It is generally supposed that he was on board one of these vessels and was one of the ill-fated number. John (twin brother of Timothy), born 1781; died 1853. Married Deborah taken from the historic-genealogy of the Kirk family.
