I am looking for Robert Kirkpartrick b. 26 Oct 1736, About 50 mi from Camden, Cheraws Dist, SC d. 2 Apr 1841 Cooper Co., MO m. 10 Nov 1785, Lancaster Co., SC to Martha by Rev. Robert Finley. Served in Rev. War 1778, (he resided 20 mi from Camden in Cheraws Dist SC marched to Charleston, later when the British came to Camden he went up 50 or 60 mi to Waxhawas & enlisted co ofWiggs. He was in 1790 census Camden Dist-1800 Camden Dist Census Lancaseter Co., SC. There was a James Kirkpatrick there in 1810 who was probably related to Robert. He may well have been the 1797-1798 Well know boat builder named Kirkpatrick in Camden. [no given name known] He was following the Cumberland Presbyterian Movement & Finis Ewing. He was in TN for a short time maybe Montgomery Co. (not sure), by 1810 Robert was in Chirstian Co., KY with the Rev. Ewing & the Cumberland Presbyterian Movement, he went with this group to Cooper Co., MO about 1819/20. We need his parentage & some details on his life in SC. Some people go with the old theory (no proof) he is son of John & Margaret Kirkpatrick of NC but he never said he was ever in NC and I am pretty sure he knew that the area he was born in was in SC not NC, I doubt if he lived in SC & his parents in NC . There are so darn many Robert Kirkpatricks two others in Chester Co which was also Camden Dist. He is probably a descendant of the James Kirkpatrick of Chester Co. SC but we have no proof of that. And what was his wife's surname. What books or libraries should I check, or what records, I have not worked in the Lancaster Co., SC area before.
