Not sure if you are aware of the story on line re- Kirsby?

Born to william Draper and Mary née Cotching. Kirsby went to prison 1859 and when he came out he went by his mothers maiden name because of the shame.

Hey Jennifer
Thank you for that, I did wonder if he used the different name because of his criminal past.
