Joseph H. Kirkpatrick
(19 Sep 1775 - 8 Sep 1849)
Joseph H. Kirkpatrick was born 19 September 1775, probably in Y ork County, South Carolina. Joseph's headstone in Bullock's Creek Cemetery, York County, Carolina bears the initial "H", but no researcher has yet been able to determine what it stood for. Joseph lived on lands originally granted to his grandfather James. Joseph married on 18 Feb 1807, Elizabeth Rainey, daughter of John Rainey, and granddaughter of William Rainey. The latter was born in Ireland and died in Chester County, South Carolina on 29 November 1827. Elizabeth was born 11 April 1788 and died 23 September 1851. She is also buried in Bullock's Creek Cemetery. Joseph was born 19 September 1775 and died 8 September 1849 (Headstone). Joseph is listed as living in Chester County, South Carolina in the census of 1820. Joseph died intestate and his son, William was appointed administrator on 5 Oct 1849.
Five of John and Elizabeth's daughters married Sherers. Four were brothers and the fifth an uncle of the other four. After four of his daughters had been married, it is reported that Joseph remarked, "How many more Sherer brothers are in that family? We only have one more daughter."
Joseph and Elizabeth had a total of ten children, five boys and five girls.
At the time of the probating of the will of their third son, William Rainey (probated 1866 in Chester Co., South Carolina) it was noted that all of the children except James Craig Kirkpatrick and Samuel R. Kirkpatrick are residing out of state. Day Jewell states that many decendants of the two just-named men continued to live in the Chester/York County, South Carolina areas, as witnessed by the headstones in the Bullock Creek's cemetery.
