The Kirk Cemetery was in Calaveras Co.originally but is now in San Joaquin Co. and located on privately owned land. There are many others in the cemetery besides
Kirks with the largest other group being Crewsdons.
I have little on Thomas Kirk and no listing for his wife.

You can email the
Calaveras County Archives at
Calaverasarchives@att.netThey charge $10 an hour for research and 25 cents a copy for each page plus postage. Since you know the boxes the probates are in the research time will be minimal.
There are also land patents for several
Kirks in
Calaveras County. Andrew, John S.; John T. ; John W. and George Kirk all had land patents. You can pay the archivist to research this for you or you might be able to find them on a BLM website if you do a search.
