Son of James M.and Jane C. Barrett Kimbrough. Husband of Laura Ann Kirkland. Father of Arrie W., Randolph, James E., William A., Minerva A., Emma J., Mary E., McKinley C., Bessie L., Lennie, Velma.
William Bradley Kimbrough was born near Cedar Creek, Franklin County, AL, in his father's home located where the county line would be established when Colbert County was formed in 1869. The line actually bisected the family property leaving the home in Colbert County but most of the land in Franklin County.
William married Laura A. Kirkland, daughter of Mose and Minerva Kirkland of Good Springs, near Russellville, and they settled on a part of his father's land in Franklin County which they later purchased from his mother after his father's death. This land was located where the Antioch Cemetery is today. In later years they built a home right across the street from the cemetery and their home was often used as a gathering place for funerals.
The house was built on a steep hill that dropped straight down 200 feet into a hollow where the spring was located that supplied the water for the family's use. William developed a way to get the water up the hill easier than having to carry it up manually. He built a waterwheel with a windlass which pulled a wooden bucket on a wire up from the spring to the house.
