In reply to:
KIRBY_Mansfield wife Elizabeth RAGSDALE & mother ELIZABETH RINER (?)
Lovey Kirby 8/08/13
Sam was the 2nd oldest of children raised by Mansfield & Elizabeth Ragsdale Kirby. I've been told she brought Sam and two other children into the marriage, but they were her sister's not hers. I want to know all I can regarding Sam and wife Matilda/Mandy/Ellen Batman/Bateman... Confusing, I know!
Either Matilda/Mandy/Ellen is all the same person and dates are off on a couple census or Matilda and Mandy are sisters or cousins...? Anyone know for sure??
Also, what is Samuel "Sam's" middle name that starts with a G. I have Grant and then I also have Guy.
The other two children Elizabeth brought into the family are Joseph "Joe" Mendoza D. and given the surname Kirby. Pheby Ellen and given the surname Kirby. Sam, Joe and Pheby original surname may have been Terrell?
Mansfield's mother Elizabeth evidently remarried at some point. Possibly after Mansfield's father died in Civil War ??2nd marriage was to a Riner/Rhiner/Ryner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! You bet!!
