I am researching the Kirkpatrick Family of Norwich, Muskingum County, Ohio. I notice from
this write-up that several other Muskingum County families moved to Blackford County,
Indiana -- including David Kirkpatrick. Although this 1900 summary indicates that David
Kirkpatrick was from Guernsey County, Ohio, he was actually living in Norwich, Muskingum
County, Ohio during the 1830 Census, and he was born in New Jersey. One of David's
oldest sons, Thomas Kirkpatrick, stayed in Norwich, and he is buried in the Norwich
Presbyterian Cemetery in Norwich, Ohio (I took pictures of the graves of Thomas and Nancy
Kirkpatrick two weeks ago during a visit to Ohio). Thomas's father, David, seems to
have moved on out to Indiana with others from Muskingum County -- including the Reasoner
family. An excellent book written by Professor Lorle Porter of Muskingum College that
describes the Scots-Irish of Eastern Ohio called "A People Set Apart" details
many of these Muskingum County, Ohio famil!
ies who seemingly moved to Blackford County, Indiana.
