Notes for John KIRK

He was a stone-mason (today he'd be called 'building contractor') and built the house known as the Kirk Homestead (still standing) in which he and his
descendants lived for many years. He also built, in 1722, Graeme Park, the
mansion of Pennsylvania's first Governor Keith, which has recently been
restored and is a Pennsylvania Historical Site. It would seem logical that he might have built the Lukens house mentioned under Seneca Lukens in the Tabitha Lukens ancestors. Perhaps he might also have built the nearby Tyson
Homestead (demolished ca. 1965) for his wife's brother, John Tyson.
