Notes

The given names Harberson Joseph were clearly significant to the 18th and 19th century Kirk family, having been given to four generations:

• 1792
• 1828 - 1842
• 1849 - 1927
• 1870 - 1941

It is likely that the later Harbersons were named for the earlier, but the reason for the earliest having this unusual name is as yet unknown. It is presumably a reference to the Harberson surname, perhaps a mother's maiden name.

A Harberson Joseph Kirk testified in a case at the Old Bailey on June 22nd 1885, when HENRY MUSKETT DASHWOOD (29) was accused of "Feloniously within four months of his bankruptcy making preparation for quitting England and taking with him part of his property to the amount of 20l. and upwards".

HARBERSON JOSEPH KIRK . I am an auctioneer and surveyor, of 75, Mark Lane — I produce settlement of 25th August, 1884, signed by the prisoner, also another document dated 11th October, 1884, by which I was appointed trustee of that settlement — I was also a clerk in the defendant's office — I received this letter of 11th September. (From the defendant inquiring whether it would be safe to venture back to England, as he was suffering from fever at the Cape.) A few days before the defendant went away he said he intended to go to the Congo, as he expected to get an appointment there — he left his books and papers in the office; no one had charge of them that I am aware of.

Cross-examined. Proceedings had been taken to set aside the settlement, and to prevent the trustee from paying over the funds to the wife on the ground of its being fraudulent — the matter has been heard before Vice-Chancellor Bacon, who refused the injunction with costs as against the Berlandinas — I still assist a solicitor as his clerk.
