                      CHARLES KIRKPATRICK

Charles Kirkpatrick [sr.] was born probably about 1735. On August 2, 1768 he bought from James and Elizabeth Campbell, for $92.00, 253 acres on Whistle Creek on forks of James River, at mouth of said Creek; to corner with Patrick Young, Hall's Mill and James Crawford, in Augusta County, Virginia. In 1777 Rockbridge County was cut off of Augusta, and Charles' residence fell in this new county.

His wife was Agnes, probably daughter of John Wiley. Mr. Thomas Kerr Kirkpatrick thinks Agnes was a sister to Sophia, wife of Andrew Kirkpatrick.

Among the persons who had taken seats in Old Monmouth Meeting House Sept. 5, 1790, are Charles Kirkpatrick Sr., and Charles Jr. (History of Rockbridge Co. 1920, by O. F. Morton).

The Will of Charles Kirkpatrick is on record in Rockbridge County at Lexington, Book 1, page 483, dated March 27, 1794, probated June 2, 1795. Names wife, Agnes, daughter Elizabeth Kirkpatrick, sons John and Charles, grandaughters Mary, daughter of Charles, and Elinor Wiley Kirkpatrick, daughter of John:

“I give and bequeath to my wife, Agnes, all the furniture, one horse, her own saddle and bridle, her cow and horse to be kept free on the Plantation; and also such parts of my dwelling house as she wants to occupy. I will and bequeath to my son John Kirkpatrick, one Rifle Gun, the Plantation and to his heirs on condition that they pay my daughter Elizabeth Kirkpatrick Fifty Pounds current money of Virginia, within the space of two years after my decease. To said Elizabeth her mare with saddle and bridle, her bed and bed-clothes; also to Charles plows and gears and other plantation utensils and the remainder of my personal estate after my just debts and funeral expenses are discharged. I give one two year old heifer to Charles daughter, Mary Kirkpatrick; the remainder of my estate to be equally divided between my wife, son Charles and daughter Elizabeth. Further- more, that my son Charles will provide for my wife during her lifetime.

“I appoint my sons John and Charles Kirkpatrick as executors of my last will and testament.

I seal it this March 25, 1795. (signed) Charles Kirkpatrick (sr.) Wm. McKee John Wilson witnesses John Moore.

Issue of John [sic. Charles sr.] and Agnes Kirkpatrick

1.John2 Kirkpatrick 2.Charles2 Kirkpatrick Jr. b. 1764 3.Elizabeth2 Kirkpatrick, said to have married Alexander Wiley in 1806.

2. Charles2 Kirkpatrick [jr.] was born in 1764. A well founded tradition says he served in the Revolutionary War, but official proof has not been found. He was nominated Captain of Militia in Rockbridge County in 1795. (Hist. of Rockbridge Co.) On July 25, 1795 “Charles Kirkpatrick, son and heir of Charles Kirkpatrick deceased”, deeded a tract of land to Ezra Holbrook. His wife, Sarah, signed the deed with him. Rockbridge Co. Deeds C-196.

The following letter from Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick of Los Angeles, to Rose Kirkpatrick, dated June 4, 1899, gives a very interesting account of the family.

"Grandfather Charles Kirkpatrick was drafted into the Revolutionary War at the age of eighteen years, in the last year of the war. He was at the battle of Yorktown in his native state, Virginia, and saw Lord Cornwallis surrender his sword to General Laffayette (sic) at the in_tance (sic) and Courtesy of George Washington. He brought the old time musket with which he fought all the rounds from Virginia through the Carolinas to Tennessee, thence through Kentucky to Illinois. The last time I saw it, it was in the care of uncle Milton Kirkpatrick, at Ursa, Adams County, Illinois.

"Grandfather Charles was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, near the great natural bridge, in the year 1764, of Scotch- Irish parents, but then recently from the North of Protestant Ireland.

"I never did learn the given name of my great-grandfather Kirkpatrick, for that of his wife.

                                                   pg. 5
           

"Presently, after the war, grandfather Kirkpatrick was married to Miss Sarah Edington of Maryland. She was of Welsh descent. Of this union there were five sons and three daughters. All were born in Virginia. Finally parents and children moved to the Hywassa purchase, now a part of Alabama.

"Aunt Nellie, the eldest daughter, then married Washington McGaughy, who afterwards had an altercation with some man. They agreed to fight it out in a prize right (sic., scratched out). McGaughy broke the neck of his foe for which he found it prudent to move to some other state. Since which time we lost knowledge of him and Aunt Nellie. about this time, Grandfather Charles, with his remaining children moved over into East Tennessee. They found there a man by the name of Benjamin Cox, who had married Miss Rachel Ellis. These were the parents of Sarah Cox my mother, and Eliza the mother of James Madison, your father. “It so happened that David, my father, and John, Matt's father, two brothers, fell in love with these two sisters, daughters of Benjamin Cox and Rachel, and were married to them at the same hour.

"Of David and Sarah, I was the first son, born January 13, 1826, in the county of Monroe, East Tennessee. Andrew Jackson Kirkpatrick came to this world three months after I did.( Intend- ed Benjamin Jackson [handwritten addition "my father"], not Andrew.)

"In one year 1827 both our grand-parents with married sons and daughters moved into Kentucky. There Virginia, my sister was born, and so was Rachel Kirkpatrick. Again becoming dissatisfied with the state of slavery they concluded one and all in the year 1828 to move to Morgan County, Illinois. And so they came, some on horseback and others with four horse teams. Both grandfathers with all theirs passed the winter of 1828 near Jacksonville, Illinois. The next spring we all moved over into the County of Adams. My father stopped in Quincy. The two grandfathers took up a quarter section each near Ursa. In 1829 my father bought land with Uncle John, east of Ursa where Frank Stone now resides, or did when I came to Oregon twenty-two years ago. Grandfather Charles died in the year 1833 at his home place one and one-half miles southeast of Ursa and was buried in a hickory grove which grew in a pasture belonging to Ebbin Riddle, a little way North of Ursa. Uncle Milton, with myself, visited his grave some forty years ago. There is none to show the lonely spot wherein his brave father was laid away; there being no headstone nor other material to do him memory or rever- ence. In fact in those far gone pioneer days there were few or no facilities for silver mounted coffins or splendid monumental towers.

"So you will note from the above that myself and brother, John, of Henry, Ill., with Andrew Jackson und James Madison and William Franklin, as well us George Washington and John Davis, are all seven grandsons of a Revolutionary sire, whose dust has long since mingled with this planet. And so are David Ross and Holt, his brother, grandsons as well. But how many great and

great-great-grandsons and daughters are there? Too numerous to mention or count.

(Milton had two sons, Orville Milton and Franklin Augustus, making nine grandsons of a revolutionary sire.)

“Grandfather Benjamin Cox was of English stock. You will observe that our blood is of four distinct races: Scotch-Irish, English, Saxon and Welsh.

"Now Let us go back to Tennessee. Our fathers eldest brother, James Edington, for whom I was named, went to Texas and died there while yet a single and very handsome young man. Another young brother, Charles, died in Tennessee. My father's sister, Nancy, married a Mr. Rop in Tennessee, who died in that State. Of these there were two sons, David and Holt and a daughter, Sarah Ann. Holt died at Ursa. David moved over into Missouri, seven miles North of Macon City. I have no knowledge of him since 1863. Our father's sister, Aunt Lee Ann was single when she came to Illinois. She was married to a widower named James Nelson, near the old Chapel towards Quincy. Some time after this, Aunt Lee Ann took this orphan child, Sarah Ann, daughter of Aunt Nancy Rop, to raise. When she became a beautiful young lady she was married to Mr. James Dorsett of Huntsville, Schuylar County, Ill. Myself and Virginia were at her wedding.

“Of this union there were two daughters and four sons. the sons were born in Oregon. In 1848 Mr. Dorsett moved to Kansas. He took his mother-in-law Aunt Nancy, with him. In 1852 he moved tack to Oregon, stopping at Baker County. Aunt Nancy was buried on the way out. Their oldest daughter was married to the Hon. State Senator, I. D. Haines. To these were born two girls, Stella and Mamie, two boys, Robert and David. Four years ago Stella married a lawyer named Bruce Messic of Baker City. Cousin Sarah Ann has been a widow a long time. There again you have a number of cousins of good report at Spokane, Washington. The Browns, Moodies and Johnsons, children of sisters, Emline (sic.) and Eliza. Thus you will agree with me that you have a great many cousins on the Kirkpatrick side of the house -- all referring back to this one soldier, Charles.

"When you mention Aunt Clarinda it brings before my mind the days of our childhood, when Virginia and I spent so many days in play with our little girls, Clarina (sic.) and Angeline, at the farm house of grandpa Benjamin and Grandma Rachel Cox, near Ursa. Uncle Matt Cox was but a boy then and he too made much of us. Grandma Rachel slopped (sic. - stopped) over with love (sic. lovely?) dainties for us; but Grandpa Ben was never demonstrative. When not playing with these we were out playing day after day and year [in] and year out, over the hills, prairies and flower meadows so wild in the spring and early summer time, with Jack, Rachel and Matt, your good papa. I would that nature might [set] me up in such beautiful fields and sweet company again. Yes, I [would] love to see Aunt Clarinda again. She always loved me and I worshiped her.

6. George W. Kirkpatrick born May 23, 1839; is now in his 96th year, living at Carthage, Ill. In May, 1934, Mrs. Paul Marshall published two very interesting articles in the Carthage Republican on the reminiscences of Mr.. Kirkpatrick. He cast his first ballot in a presidential election for Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and has voted for every Republican candidate since. One day a notice was posted in the post office that t two negro slaves had run away from their owners in northeast Missouri, and offered a reward of $500 for their capture. George Kirkpatrick and a young man named Ab Weaver blacked their faces and marched through town, which caused quite a commotion, the whole town turned out for the reward. The boys hid in a cornfield while they were hunted with dogs; fortunately for them the dogs recognized them in spite of their disguise. When the deception finally became known, most of the hunters wanted to whip them.

Mr. Kirkpatrick was the constable of the town of Lima, in the days when a peace officer had a real job and very little pay. At one time he had a warrant for a man named Black, who was reputed to be a particularly dangerous character. He tried to secure a posse to go with him to make the arrest but was unsuccessful, so he went alone and brought in the criminal without any trouble. About the time of the Civil War a band of thieves were stealing horses in Hancock County and taking them across the river into Missouri. This led to the organization of a local band of Vigilantes, which was known as the “anti-horse Thief Association". The organization caught one of the thieves and turned him over to the Constable for safe keeping until the trial could be held. Mr. Kirkpatrick put him in a room over his wagon and cooper shop and left him in charge of four armed guards. When he went down early next morning though, he had neither prisoner or guards, as a mob had taken the prisoner; he was found hanging to a tree about half-way between Lima and Tioga with a bullet hole in his chest.

Mrs. Marshall relates other interesting incidents among which is an account of the runaway of a team of oxen, driving a team of horses across the frozen Mississippi River at Keokuk when the ice had begun to thaw, and a visit Mr. Kirkpatrick made to the shipyards in Philadelphia during the World War.

George Kirkpatrick married first, Sept. 17, 1862 to Sarah Rohrbough, she born Jan. 25, 1841, a daughter of William Rohrbough.
