Kentucky Kirkman Family - Todd and Christian counties
George Kirkman, b abt 1809 in Todd county, KY married Mary Jane Pannell (1822-1913). One of their 11 children was named Martha Nancy (B 3 Jul 1854 - d 4 Jul 1932). Martha was the 2nd wife of Thomas Jefferson Powell and they had 3 children - Bertha, Walter J and Melvin.
Does anyone have any specifics on Walter J and/or Melvin Powell?
I believe that Melvin was born on 28 Apr 1888 in Todd county, KY, but cannot locate his birth record through the state. His death certificate lists Thomas Powell as the father but the mother is unknown. I would like to verify that Thomas and Martha are definitely his parents. Melvin is my Grandfather. Thanks!
