I haven't had time to investigate James' history too much yet. Can't wait until I retire! I don’t know for sure, but the timing sure is right!

Was he "your" James Kil/Kirk of SC? Doug K Hi, Dawn-Ann,

I am descended from James "The Immigrant" (as I call him), who came to South Carolina about 1736. I suspect there is some Irish history in my tree, as well, but I have not yet been able to find the "missing link" between ol' James and Scotland/Ireland. So nice to meet you, cousin! :) Hi Doug!

My Kirkpatrick ancestors emigrated to Pennsylvania circa 1730 from Ulster but before that all genealogical data on Kirkpatricks is a black hole due to a fire in the Irish Public Records House in 1922! I presume my ancestors came over from Scotland in the late 1600's, stayed for a generation or two and then emigrated to America in 1730 but who knows? BTW which Kirkpatrick branch is yours? (New Jersey, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, etc) Good luck. Doug K H, Dawn-Ann and others,

This was the birthplace of Alexander Kirkpatrick, a distant relative of mine. Here's a link to Kirkpatrick information that may interest you. I'm listed in the 9th Generation pages. I don't have the resources (time mostly) to research family history, but I'd be interested to know if you someday happen to find a link. Regards, Kirk Dawn-Ann,

I don't know anything about them yet but I know we must be connected. Are you from that branch? No, I don’t think that was me, Keith, but I am intrigued by my eastern Canadian cousins.

According to a publication I bought at the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society, it says: "In loving memory of William Kirkpatrick born at Dundrennan, Kirkcudbrightshire 20 February 1817, died at his residence Dundrennan House, Wallsall, Staffordshire 4 December 1887 during the second year of his Mayoralty ----- where every inhabitant mourned his loss. (Mural above inscription panel) has Kirkpatrick coat of arms with motto I Mak Siccar." Hi Carol. According to a publication I bought at the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society, it says:
