  2. 3.  Mary Ann KITCHEN was born 1755; died Grant, Kentucky.

    Notes:

    John was married to Mary Ann "Polly" Kitchen, whose parents were William Kitchen and Margaret Ward. Both John and Mary Ann are listed in her father's will, alongside her siblings and their spouses if they had them. Her mother died in 1787 or 1788, and the following year, John, Mary Ann and their three children joined many others who migrated to northern Kentucky. Eventually, Mary Ann would have many more children with John. Some of the Virginians that John knew that also came to KY were Asa Vallandingham, Charnock Self, Ignatius Wheeler (RevWar veteran) and many others, including some of Mary Ann's relatives. The two of them remained in northern KY for the rest of their lives. John died in 1836. Mainly, I'm writing to try to quell the misinformation regarding Mary Ann's last name. William Kitchen's will took 15 years to complete, probably because many of the beneficiaries had moved west. Thanks, Mary Lynn SKIRVIN
