I know some Civil War era history.

My third great grandfather was William Clayton Coffey.

I don't know where the name "Kirk" came from. All other accounts that I have seen give Blalock's name as McKesson "Keith" Blalock.

Blalock and his wife are often mentioned in Civil War history because she was one of several women who joined the forces during the war. They, husband and wife, traveled from their home near Grandfather Mountain, to Lenoir NC and enlisted, intending to surrender and join Union forces at first opportunity. She was discovered fairly quickly.
