McKnight subsequently bought the silver
mining hacienda at Corralitos and worked the
mines until his death at Chihuahua, in 1844.
In the Mexican war in 1846 Kirker came
to New Mexico and joined Col. Donaphan’s
regiment. Remaining with the volunteers until
the close of the war he went with them to St.
Louis, and afterwards to California, in 1850,
and died in San Francisco the following year.
He raised a large and respectable family. Three
of his sons live near Pinos Altos, in Grant
County, one daughter died in Mesilla in 1860,
and the other is married to a kell known Ameri-
can, a pioneer of the territory and a veteran
of the Mexican war.
