Description
For your consideration I have two very interesting documents from the Kirker estate of Manchester in Adams County, Ohio.
The first document is a two- page typed an inventory of estate of Charles F. Kirker and the second The Last Will and Testament of Alice Kirker Charles drafted in 1945.
*Alice Kirker Charlesnow sole owner of the C.E. Kirker hardware store on eight streets in Manchester, Ohio in 1945 states who she wants the store to be given upon her death.
These rare documents came from an archive associated with the Collings/Kirker family of Adams Co., Ohio, including: Archive of materials from the Kirker-Collings-Gibson family of Adams Co., Ohio, from just before statehood to the end of the 20th century. Two of the progenitors of this clan are James R. Gibson and his wife, Martha King Gibson.
The Gibsons had at least three children, J. King Gibson, Mary King Gibson and Alice Gibson. Mary married C.E. (Charles Evans) Kirker and they had George Gibson Kirker and Alice Kirker Charles. Alice Gibson married Henry Collings. Their offspring included Henry Davis Collings, George Gibson Collings (1888-1890) and Mary King Collings. George Collingsrican war (brother?) (1800-1862) married Jane Collings. Their offspring included George E. Collings (1839-1882), who married Harriet A. Collings. Their son was Ralph Collings. This archive appears to have been accumulated and come through Mary King Collings, who, it appears never married.
Please take a moment to examine my other Kirker/Collings/Gibson artifacts ,photos and documents currently listed in my shop.
