Nancy is considered as a probable child of Joseph Randall.2156

A biography of her husband notes, “n 1790 James Kirk came from Virginia and settled on Cartwright’s Creek, a short distance from the town of Lebanon, Marion County, the territory being then embraced in Nelson County, Kentucky. He there developed a farm, and reared his family, consisting of six sons and two daughters, named as follows: Edward, Dixon, John, Jesse, Travis, Robesson, Mary and Lucy. Dixon married Nancy Hoskins, a daughter of Rudolph Hoskins, of a Virginia family, who had settled in the same locality on Cartwright’s Creek. Dixon Kirk was born in Virginia in 1790, and consequently was an infant when the family removed to Kentucky. He lived for a time in each of the counties of Washington, Marion, Adair and Grayson, but in 1856 removed to Missouri, where he died the same year, his wife having died in Grayson County, Kentucky in 1836. They had a family of ten children, viz: Mary J (Lyon), Eliza A (Landers), Susan M (Murray), Martha C (Martin), Elizabeth E. (Hoffman), James H., Joseph E., Daniel H., (who died in childhood), John T, and Paulina C (Martin).”2203 It seems likely that the Rudolf Hoskins cited was Joseph Randall/Randolph Hoskins, since R. Joseph Hoskins and James Kirk were clearly around at that time, with no trace of a Rudolph.
