I am looking for the descendants of Alfred C. Kiracofe his twin brother--Albert Kiracofe. Both were believed to have been born in Gratis Twp., Preble Co., Oh. to Martin Luther Lucy Eby Kiracofe. They married Helen Maurine Messinger Hester Juanita Messinger (daughters of Noah D. Gertrude Bartrug Messinger granddaughters of David Angeline Ream Messinger), respectively. Alfred Helen had Joline Adele, Jan Fredonia, Jerri David, Joyce Ann and Julianne Kiracofe. Albert Hester had Daniel Wayne, Gary Lee, Gregory Albert Brian Jay Kiracofe.

Does anyone have anymore information on, or anymore of, these Kiracofe Messinger descendants?

Martin Luther Kiracofe was the first cousin of my grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Andrew. According to the genealogy put out by Lula Miller in the early 1980s, the children of Henry Albert Kiracofe and Hester Juanita Messenger are:
Daniel Wayne Kiracofe; Cary Lee; Gregory Albert; and Brian Jay. No marriages are listed.

The children of Alfred Charles Kiracofe and Maureen Helen Messenger are:
Julen Adele; Jon Frederick; Jerry David; Jennifer Kay; Julie Ann; Joyce Ann.
Again no marriages are listed.

My great grandmother was Susanna Kiracofe married to James Madison Andrew. She was a sister to John Van Lear Kiracofe, the father of Martin Luther.

Hello. My grandmother was Martha Silver Kiracofe, daughter of James Ulysses and Sarah Lavina Eby. I have heard the name Susannah before but the name was the middle name to Sarah (Sarah Sussanah). Is this the same person you speak of? It stuck out in my mind because I thought it was a pretty name.

Our family Kiracofes of Kansas had a book but relative let it get away. If your books have anything re: Kiracofes of Kansas we will very gladly reimburse for any information you can supply. We are hitting a brick wall with all of the evolving of our name. The main fact we have about our family is there are many ministers including John Wesley Kiracofe, listed as an autor in the LDS records. Thank you so much for any help. Family names Samuel William, Louis, Lewis Kiracofe.

I apologize for the lateness of my reply; I'm afraid computer problems with the old computer, and then other problems, kept me from replying to my dozens of dozens of posts online.

Thanks for the reply telling who the children of Albert Kiracofe and Alfred Kiracofe are. It should help in updating this branch of the Ream Family Tree.

I don't ever recall seeing Albert Kiracofe's full name as "Henry Albert Kiracofe". Does Mrs. Miller say what the source for this was?

I wish I cou;d vouch for Miss Miller's (she never married) accuracy and documentation, but I have found too many errors and mis-intrepretations in her book.

Thank you for your reply. Until I come upon further, seperate proof, I'll assume his name was merely "Albert Kiracofe".

Thanks to the late Verda Ream Pifer and to Allyn Scott Messinger, I have a good deal of information on the Kiracofe branches of our Ream Family Tree. However, there are individuals who were born in the '60's & '70's in the Kiracofe lineage, who probably married & had children, but I have no knowledge of such. Maybe you could help me in updating and/or correcting what I have on the Kiracofe branch of our family tree.

To find out what I have, go to <www.familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/r/e/a/William-Henry-...; and click on the "Genealogy Report: Descendants of John Philip Ream". Follow the following lineage: 1) Philip Ream, 2) George Ream, 3) Samuel D. Ream, 4) Angeline Ream, 5) Noah Daniel Messinger. Noah Daniel Messinger (as shown above) is the father of Helen & Hester Messinger, who married Alfred & Albert Kiracofe, respectively.

Hope to hear back from you soon!

William (Bill) Henry Ream, Jr.--a fourth great-grandson of the above named George Ream
