Hello, from not so sunny Arizona! After a year of hitting a brick wall I can see a little daylight ahead. I have recently found out that my gggrandfather, Thomas A. KIRKPATRICK sold his farm in Johnson Co. KS in 1881 and moved to norhteastern Missouri. Thomas and his wife Rachel lived in Johnson Co. for just a short time, my ggrandfather James stayed in KS to continue on the Brick Making business. I'm seeking any information on the following KIRKPATRICK's that lived in Memphis, Jefferson Twp, Scottland Co., MO. Mathew KIRKPATRICK m. Fanny NEAL 25 Jan 1865. Mathew was a Brick Maker by trade, they had 10 children. In the 1900 census only 6 of those 10 children were still living. I have Mathew in Scottland Co. in 1870 with 2 children, Florence, 5 and Charles, 2. In 1880 with 5 children , Mary 8, a daughter 6, a son 4, Robert 2 and Roy 1. In 1900 with 2 children, Thomas 19 and Ethel 14. Mathew was born in OH Feb 1845. Margaret KIRKPATRICK m. John GOLLIKER(GOLLIHER) 4 July 1865. John is listed on the 1870 census just under Mathew, he also is a Brick Maker. On this same page there is listed J.M. CLIFFORD and Fanny CLIFFORD, J.M. is listed as a Brick Maker also. Margaret was born in OH 1846. Sarah KIRKPATRICK m. Norman HAMBLETON 13 MAy 1860. Sarah born in OH 1842. Does any of this information ring a bell. Thank you in advance, Becky Sievers
