I think I can near exactly recollect their ages. Our Father was born in the year 1701 our good Mother in the year 1704 our eldest Sister Mary in the year 1724 our Brother Daniel in the year 1725 2d Sister Mary in the year 1727 our Sister Hannah White 1729 Our Sister Anna in the year 1731 our Sister Elizabeth in the year 1733 my age is dated in the year 1735 our Brother Jabez in the year 1738 our Sister Lydia in the year 1740 your date is December 1st 1741 our Brother Joseph in the year 1743 our Sister 3d sister Mary in the year 1745 Our Father died May 18th 1773 our Mother in October 1st 1769 Our Parents are I trust gone to the Realms of Light and Happiness. May we be prepared to meet them in the Kingdom of Glory. I have it in contemplation if God should see fit to spare my Life and Health until next August or September to come and make you a Visit. I can still reflect on the various Lines of Divine Providence in regards to us and our Father's families. His Government has been in infinite Wisdom, although it be to us grievous. To be satisfied with God's government is our Duty and Happiness. I have nothing of great importance respecting this town; general time of health and attention to meeting. In Chesterfield and Comington North of us there is a great awakening and attention to Religion and particular among the Youth and others. We have enjoyed Health through God's Mercy this year past, for our Age remarkable. Our Children at East Hampton are well. Daughter Judith has her 4th daughter. Son Samuel and Martin and families are well. Mr. Woodbridge is well, I think gains some in his Performance. Mr. Tracy is unwell, I hope not Dangerous. He appeared to be much Engaged in things that pertain to Christ's Kingdom. You will be tired of my long letter. You must make stops for me, and put in what I have left out. Wish you to write the first opportunity. You Sister and Cousin Salla give their kind Love to you and Sister and Cousin Eliza, as to my Sons with you . I trust you will advise them to attention to Virtue and Piety. From your Brother with his best Wishes John Kirkland Reverend Samuel Kirkland February 8th 1808 The Bearer Mr. Lee has been detained by Reason of the Snow, failing. Let you be informed we are still favoured with Health. Mr. Tracy remains yet Unwell in a low state of Health. Some fearful that he may fall into a Consumption. I wish you to write me how my Son John makes out under his infirmities, and if he is like to support himself by his Profession in Law and if his morals are good; must be a great disadvantage to him. I remain still your affectionate brother J. Kirkland Reverend Samuel Kirkland J. Kirkland Norwich 1808 Family Register Reverend Samuel Kirkland Clinton State of New York Favored by Mr. Lee
