This story is told by several Kirby descendants and its basically the same with minor differences. George W. Kirby and his brother stowed away on a ship from England.

They left the area and went to Fairview, NC. Fairview is located right outside of Ashville, NC. While in Fairview, one brother was killed in an accident while riding a horse.

The land for Sharon United Methodist Church was given by William Nice Kirby. The land for Union Chapel Pentecostal Church was given by Joseph Brian Kirby. It is also told that George W.
