Rootsweb WorldConnect Project: Kirkpatrick Family,
David Kirkpatrick, b. 1724, d. 1814, m. March 31, 1748, Mary McEowen. Mary was born Aug. 1, 1728, and died Nov. 2, 1795, a daughter of Daniel McEowen; she was a native of Argyleshire and crossed the ocean in the same vessel with the Kirkpatricks. Dwelt at Mine Brook near Bernardsville, Somerset County, N.J. The early stone mansion built by David and Mary McEowen Kirkpatrick is now owned by Elizabeth H. Packard, the title to the property having been given to her by her father ten or twelve years ago. The house is built of field stone and is on the state road one mile west of the town of Bernardsville, on the north side of the road, just opposite the estate of Mr. Richard Lindabury. A former owner, Mr. Charles Squibb, enlarged the house a great deal, making the entrance and chief frontage on the southwest side for better advantage of view and breezes. Over the original doorway [now changed to a window] is a stone marked D.M.K., 1765; this is on the side facing the state road. The house is easy to locate by a group of old Norwegian spruce trees between it and the road. [Note from Jim Norman, compiler of this Ancestry Family Tree: Based upon the initials D.M.K. on the Stone over the door of David Kirkpatrick's house, I tend to believe that David's middle initial was 'M'.]
