He was the son of Reverend Lionel Kirkham, of Stantori, in Gloucestershire; was a very initimate friend of Wesley's, and earnest in his desire for higher, life, faithfully keeping the rules of the Oxford Methodists. In 1731 he left Oxford and became his uncle's curate. These facts are the limit of our knowledge concerning him. It is to be regretted that no record of his life can be found.
