I'd have to invite Elizabeth Bowen and would love to know more about her. All I know is she was born about 1758 in MD and died 30 Oct 1838 in Indiana. She was married to Andrew Kirkpatrick who fought in the Rev. War, was born in Ireland 1743 and died in 1827 in Adams Co., OH. I believe he is buried in the Stevenson/Ruffner Cemetery, AKA Campground Cemetery. She might have died in Montgomery Co., IN where her daughter-in-law Polly Kincaid died. Her children were William, Absalom, John, James (my ancestor), Samuel, George and Joseph. I don't know if she had no daughters or if they just didn't appear in records. I don't know who her parents were, so would have to settle for just Elizabeth at my Thanksgiving table. I'm sure she could answer many of my questions!
