Individual Details

Robert Kirkpatrick was born 15 December 1806 in Jackson County, Tennessee. He married Ruth Mulkey in Jackson County, Tennessee in 1825. She was born in 1807 in Jackson County, Tennessee. Robert came to Franklin County, Illinois at the same time as his brother John Kirkpatrick, who married Ruth Mulkey's sister Edith. Ruth died in Franklin County, Illinois on 17 June 1843, and is buried in the Old Mulkey Cemetery there. The 1850 census shows Robert with a wife, Polly, so presumably he married a second time. This wife's maiden name is unknown.

One report says that Robert died in Jefferson County, Illinois, in 1872 or 1873 and that his will is on file in that county. Another record reports that he died 4 June 1858 in Franklin County, Illinois and is buried in the Old Mulkey Cemetery with his wife.
