If you can trace your branch to the Kirkpatrick's from Closeburn Dumfriesshire, I would like to hear from you. My branch of the name can be traced back to a Robert Kirkpatrick, born in 1754, son of Robert Kirkpatrick and Margaret Goldie. He married Margaret Gibson in 1784, and had 11 children. He was at one time a farmer in Auchencairn farm. He died in 1830. I also have information on other Kirkpatrick families From Dumfriesshire. Most of these are unlinked. It would be great if I could link some of them together. Regards Ian Kirkpatrick.
