William T. Kirkpatrick. His middle name is given variously as Thomas and Tinsley. The compiler's of this work have verified that Thomas is correct based on tombstone inscription. William was born 24 January 1812 in Jackson County, Tennessee. He died 13 Dec 1872 in Franklin County, Illinois. On 6 February 1834 he married Martha Greenwood who was born circa 1813. He moved with his family about 1817 from Jackson County, Tennessee to Franklin County, Illinois, and apparently lived there the remainder of his life.
