(Kirkpatrick) Williams, b. 1826, Bond Co., IL, to James Harrison KP, son of Thomas Newton. She had two brothers: Samuel, who I’m not sure had any male descendants; and Thomas, who — after his first wife and son died while he was Gold Rushing — ended up in British Columbia marrying at least three “Native American” women, by whom he had at least seven sons. Might be hard to track them down … But, based on your situation, you can go back at least one more generation than that.

There are several who descend from a James K of SC, but ate they the same James as yours, and do you have a proven line of descent from James K of SC?  Come join  us at  https://www.facebook.com/groups/KirkpatrickGenealogy/ where several of James's descendants are members.
