Hello to all! Seeing that we have had some traffic of late thought I would try again with my line of KIRKPATRICK. I have had some breaks in my research recently. I am researching Thomas A. KIRKPATRICK and wife Rachel (PORTER) KIRKPATRICK. Both born in Ohio, not sure where, but were married in Jefferson Co, OH in 1842. Moved to Jackson Co. VA, according to 1850 census. Lost them until the 1880 census in Johnson Co., KS. I assumed this is where they lived out the rest of their lives,WRONG!!! After researching the local newspaper (The Olathe Mirror, Johnson CO., KS) I came across an article stating they had sold the farm and were moving to Northeast MO. I found their three older children in and around the Memphis, Scotland Co., MO area according to the 1870/1880/1900 census. I recieved an excert from a book published by the Scotland Co. Genealogical Society. The book contains many stories about the early settlers and I was sent an excert reguarding the William KIRKPATRICK and Marth (HAYS) KIRKPATRICK family of the area. This excert stated "it is believed that this family (Thomas A. KIRKPATRICK family) is possible related to our family, meaning the William KIRKPATRICK family. My question is: Is any one out there researching this William and Martha KIRKPATRICK family? If so can you pass on any insight on this? It is believed that my Thomas/Rachel KIRKPATRICK are buried in the Buskirk Cemetery in Scotland Co. I do have another write up on the William KIRKPATRICK family that I would be willing to pass on to anyone researching this family. Their children: Sarah KIRKPATRICK m Norman HAMBLETON 13 May 1860 in Scotland Co., MO Mathew KIRKPATRICK m Fanney NEAL 25 Jan 1865 in Scotland Co., MO Margaret KIRKPATRICK m John GOLLIKER (GOLLIHER) in Scotland Co., MO James L> KIRKPATRICK m Alice LINDSEY 27 April 1873 in Johnson Co., Kansas, they never moved away from Johnson Co., Kansas. Buried in the Olatha Cemetery. James is my ggrandfather. Elizabeth KIRKPATRICK d 1872? in Johnson Co. KS Thank you for any help you all can send my way. Becky in Arizona
