THE KIRKLAND FAMILY

Written by: Esther Leonard, 763 Gardner Road, Bellevue, OH 44811 (1985) Aaron Kirkland and his wife, Jane Gladden, settled in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana about 1812. They were both born in South Carolina according to information given in 1880 by their son, Moses Kirkland. They lived in Mississippi Territory between 1806 and 1812, where at least two children were born.

Aaron served as a private in the 19th Regt. La. Militia during the War of

1812 and died before Oct 1815 when his daughter, Elizabeth, was married. At that time his widow, Jane, signed her consent to the marriage of her fifteen-year-old daughter. Jane had died by 1817 when an inventory was made of the estate in Ouachita Parish. When the estate was finally settled in 1825, daughter Elizabeth said she and her husband had raised the minor children of Aaron and Jane Kirkland.
