I was doing reasearch on my KIRK family line.I was reading your posting and found page 180 particularly interesting.I have a William Kirk who was living in the Agusta County, VA area around this time.I would be interested in learning what else is said about him to better determine if this is the same person.
RE:P. 180
Returning to Wapakoneta. . . Tecumseh saw much that worried him. The Shawnees had not been adopting white culture wholesale. . .but most of what had been achieved under the supervision of William Kirk was nothing short of blasphemous. It rejected the Indian heritage which had been the gift of Waashaa Monetoo, Kirk himself was no longer at Wapakoneta. . . but one of his hired laborers was still at work, and a stock of tools supplied by the Americans had been left in the care of James Logan.
