About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Kirk Family Cemetery is located about six miles east of Bellota and about a mile south of Hwy 26 on Wimer Road on the Kirk Land Grant. John William Kirk came from Giles County, Virginia in 1847 then returned to Virginia. Then in 1852 he brought his family to California. Four Kirk slaves were given their freedom in Virginia, but they chose to come to California with the family, so they came as free men, with the wagon train. They are buried in the family plot above the family section, and the graves are marked with iron stakes. The freed slaves took the name of Kirk. They consisted of the mother, named Aggie who took care of the Kirk Children, and her three sons; one of which was alleged to have been an outlaw and cattle thief. There are a number of iron stakes marking where graves are with no headstones. These graves probably had wooden markers that were destroyed by fires over the years. The cemetery is still in use.
