Early Life and Adulthood

William was probably born in Lima, Adams county to John and Eliza Kirkpatrick in 1835. He married Mary Tipton in Adams county in 1859 and they are both listed in the 1860 census in the settlement of Lima. At this time his occupation was listed as cooper which he probably learned from his father. After his first wife died in 1869, we find him in Wilson township in Adair county, Missouri in the 1880 census. His occupation here is listed as "farmer". This is interesting because his brother James Madison Kirkpatrick had a dry goods store here in 1870, but in 1880 James had moved back to Adams county, Illinois. It is unclear if there was an exchange of land here, or if James convinced William to come to Missouri.
