In my most recent publication there is an article on Sir Roger de Kirkpatrick. He was the eldest son of Stephen Kirkpatrick, Lord of Closeburne. The names Kirkpatrick and Kilpatrick were often interchanged by early historians working from old charters. Most of these charters were written in Latin and the word "celle" was used for "church." This is similar to the Gaelic word "cil" meaning small church. So it is not unusual to find in historical references the name Kilpatrick and Kirkpatrick applied to the same person. Another article is about Ben Kilpatrick who drew attention by being a member of the outlaw gang led by Butch Cassidy, the "Wild Bunch." Ben was called "The Tall Texan" and was considered a ladies man; tall, soft spoken, had deep brown eyes and dark wavy hair. If anyone wants to know more about this let me know and I'll elaborate for you. Lastly, I received my newest catalog from Heritage Books (phone 1-800-398-7709). To my surprise there was a book there of great interest and I ordered it today: "Colquhoun/Calhoun and Their Ancestral Homelands by Ellen R. Johnson (1996). This volume contains legendary data about the beginning of this family, detailed information on the line of Chiefs of the Colquhoun Clan with data on the spouses and children where known, a separate chapter concerning the Camstradden lineage, and several chapters telling of the life in the Luss and Rossdhu areas of Scotland. There is also an appendix with various names of births, marriages, and deaths. The time span covered is 1190-1993, in primarily Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the US. 252 pgs, illus., index, paper, $24 (plus s & h) #J532 I can't wait to receive my copy. I guess that's it for now. Shirley McCoy brashergen@aol.com
