I am finding the Kirkpatrick thread at Roots-L interesting as that is one of the lines in which I am very interested. While looking through my notes, I noticed I had previously taken down the following. Hope others find this helpful. According to tradition several siblings (parents and grandparents of people listed below) immigrated to America. Each line seems to have its own story, but few appear to have much proof. I would be interested in learning of any other connections to the following people as well as other Kirkpatricks who were in America at this time.
