• Notes

  Found a Benjamin Kilpartrick in Letterkenny township in 1778 in Cumberland Co. (that became Franklin Co. in 1790) In Feb. 1780 an unnamed child of Benjamin Kirkpatrick was baptized at the Upper Conococheague Presbyterian Church in Mercersburg. Then in 1781, his namesake son was also baptized there. Found Benjamin Kirkpatrick in the Franklin Co. militia in 1787 in Capt. Thomas McDowell's company. p. 420 of 5th Series of Pennsylvania Archives, Vol. 6. Benjamin Kirkpatrick is in the 1790 census in Franklin Co. PA. I don't know why his death is listed as 1789. Haven't seen evidence of this. In the 1800 census in Peters township, Benjn Kirkpatrick is living next to Robert Larrimore. A Benjamin Kirkpatrick and a John Kirkpatrick are in Peters, Franklin Co. in 1807. By this time it could be his son Benjamin, however, there is a Benjamin below. There is a Benjamin Kirkpatrick in the 1810 census in Hempfield, Westmoreland Co. PA, also in 1820. Dies there in 1826. Married to Jane Scotts McKean. (another wife?) In will names son Samuel Kirkpatrick in Ohio, Polly married to John Craig, and Rebecca married to Robert Larimore. Descendants claim that this Benjamin is the same as the one who served in the Cumberland Co. militia in 1780-81 from Peters, Franklin Co. PA.
