Billpatrich and Gillpatrick.
Killpatrick and Kirkpatrick are identical and were, as surnames, used inter- changeably in old documents. The former orthography appears to have been the more ancient. They were settled in Nithsdale, on the Scottish border, as early as the ninth century. Surname derived from Cella Patricii, the church of St. Patrick. In the reign of David I (1124 1153), IVAN KILPATRICK wit- nessed a charter of Robert Bruce, and his grandson, also named Ivan, obtained a charter of lands of Kilosburn (from Cella Osburn), which had belonged to his ancestors, August 15, 1232. HUMPHREY KILLPATRICK was granted by charter from the Earl of Lennox, 1200 A. D., the lands of Colquhoun .* The names of STEPHEN DE KILPATRICK and ROGER DE KILPATRICK appear on the Ragman Roll, in 1232, among those who swore fealty to Edward I. The two parishes bordering on the River Clyde, in Dunbartonshire, said to have been the birthplace of the great Irish Apostle, are the localities where this family is supposed to have originated and still bear the name Kilpatrick.
The Empress Eugenie was descended from the Kilpatricks or Kirkpatricks,
*Humphrey Kilpatrick assumed the name of Colquhoun, and, hence, the distinguished family of this name, known as the "Colquhouns of Luss," are descended from the Kilpatricks. Their lands are among the mountains and on the margin of Loch Lomond in the Scottish High- lands.

KILLPATRICK AND GILLPATRICK.
styled "of Conheath." One branch of the family was early settled in Spain, and descendants are intermarried there with dukes, counts, and barons.
The most ancient seat of the Kilpatricks was CLOSEBURN CASTLE, originally Kilosburn, a view of which appears in the "antiquities of Scotland," by Grose. There is a square tower standing, 56 feet in height, consisting of a ground floor and two vaulted apartments. This old residence, once a place of great strength, was so much decayed by the ravages of time that it was superseded by a stately mansion wrought, in part, from stones taken from the ancient walls, but this was burned down in 1748, and all the family papers, portraits, and plate destroyed. The present CLOSEBURN HALL is a fine Grecian styled edifice. Two coats of arms are recorded for the family, described as follows :
"KILLPATRICK-Az a saltire in chief ar."
"KILLPATRICK-Az a chief ar."
During the plantation of the province of Ulster, in the north of Ireland by Scottish Presbyterians (1608-1620), several persons named Killpatrick re- moved from Scotland and settled in that country. We are able to point to the very piece of land upon which they made their home. On May 1, 1616, RICHARD KILLPATRICK, JAMES KILLPATRICK, and JOHN KILLPATRICK, all Scotchmen, leased of Peter Benson, who was an extensive undertaker in the province, a tract of land in the barony of Shragmiler, County Donegal, which, in an inquisition, was described as follows:
"There is a gort of land belonging to the viccar of Shragmiler, which said gort lieth as followeth, that is to saie, it beginneth from the middle causie of stone lieng between the church and towne of Shragmiler and soe runnine along a little ditche by a boggside enclosing a fort, and soe crossinge a small brooke runninge up and over a moss or turf pit, and soe downe to a stone ford, and from thence directlie to a blackthorn which standeth by the Kings highway leading from Shragmiler aforesaid to Castlefyne, and soe directlie up to the causie where the first bounds begunne, con- tayning by estimation 20 acres more or lesse besides heathe and bogge."
Here, then, was the place where the families of Killpatrick first sat down in old Ireland. As the plantation records of Ulster do not contain the names of any others of the family between 1608 and 1620, we may safely assume that these were the ancestors of the New England branches descended from THOMAS KILPATRICK and wife Margaret, who came from Colerain, Ireland, to Wells, Me., in 1718-19. As about one hundred years had passed between the settlement in Ireland and that in the New World, it will be seen that the birth of Thomas was removed down the stream of time several generations from his Scottish progenitors, a period of sufficient duration to allow the family to multiply largely, but not long enough, however, to eliminate the rigid faith inherited from the Covenanters who had lain down their lives for it among the glens of Scotland; for, after the removal of the family to Saco, in 1739, a petition to "set off those who call themselves Presbyterians from any further support of Rev. Mr. Willard " was signed by Thomas and William Killpatrick. Joseph Killpatrick, another of the same stripe, voted against an increase of the salary of Mr. Willard.
The surname was universally spelled Killpatrick, or Kilpatrick, for many years after the settlement of the family in New England, and is the form used by branches more recently removed from Ireland to the United States. The forms Gillpatrick, Gilpatrick, and Gilpatric, used by descendants of the origi- nal Thomas, may be considered as a yankee improvement, but we regard this change of an ancient and significant surname a matter for regret.

KILLPATRICK AND GILLPATRICK.
As the descendants of the immigrant ancestor settled in sections of the state so remote from each other, I deem it necessary to divide the pedigree into parts, under appropriate local designations, for the purpose of more readily distinguishing the many who have borne the same christian names. The names of sons of Thomas and Margaret Killpatrick, several of whom were born in Ireland, were as follows: JOHN, JAMES, JOSEPH, WILLIAM, THOMAS, CHRISTOPHER, JEREMIAH, ISAAC, and JOSHUA ; two daughters, MARY and SARAH. The inscription following was copied from the tombstone of Thomas, the immigrant:
" In Memory of MR. THOMAS KILLPATRICK Who departed this life October the 24th, 1762 in the 88th year of his age."
GILPATRICKS OF LIMERICK.
Jeremiah Gilpatrick,8 son of Jeremiah2 and Sarah, was born in Bidde- ford, March 19, 1753, and baptized there, March 25th of that year. Tradition made him a son of the original Thomas; he was a grandson. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Dyer, of Cape Elizabeth, Oct. 5, 1775. (she was born August 11, 1753, and died Mar. 23, 1825), and with his wife and two children went on horseback by a bridle-path through the wilderness to the township subsequently named Limerick. He selected one of the most valuable tracts of land in the township, which was purchased of James Sullivan, and, assisted by his wife, who was a woman of robust consti- tution, cleared a large farm which his descendants have enlarged and brought to a high state of productiveness. He was prominent in the early town affairs, but was killed in the prime of life, Sept. 25, 1790, by a fall from a load of lumber, which he was binding. Three children:
I. JEREMIAH,4 born Aug. 3, 1776, in Biddeford; m. Dec. 2, 1799, Lydia Hodgdon (she was b. Feb. 13, 1781, and d. July 23, 1868), and settled on a tract of land about one mile west of his father's homestead. Here he added acre to acre, as the years passed, until his fields expanded into extensive proportions. He built a stately mansion and ample out-buildings, and became what the townsmen called "a fore-handed farmer." He d. Feb. 26, 1851. Two children :
I. JOSEPH H.,5 son of Jeremiah and Lydia, b. Dec. 5, 1800, in Limerick; m. first, Dec. 5, 1825, to Sally M., dau. of John Burnham, Esq., and by her had six children. She was born Nov. 30, 1805 : d. April 15. 1864. He m. second, Jan. 10, 1866, Harriet H. F., dau. of Daniel Harmon (sister of wife of Hon. Abner Burbank), who was born Aug. 26, 1812, in Limerick, and d. Sept. 10, 1883. He d. Dec. 10, 1886. He succeeded as only son to his father's estate and was widely known as one of the most extensive and prosperous farmers in Limerick. The great mansion, enormous barn, and capacious out-buildings now standing indicate the abundant harvests gathered, and the numerous heads of live stock housed and fed upon this place. Mr. Gilpatrick was a good and highly respected citizen, who served with much ac- ceptability during a long term of years as selectman and in other positions of trust.

He remained on the homestead of his father, and continued to occupy the mansion originally erected there. He was a respected and influential man; carried on very ex- tensive farming and stock raising. The mansion house sits upon a moderate elevation some distance back from the highway, and sur- rounded by a broad green lawn. It is two-storied, wide, and imposing. The barns and farm offices are commensurate in amplitude with the ex- tensive area of cultivated land. From the front of the main house to the rear end of the barn, all connected by intervening buildings, the distance must be rising three hundred feet. In the field back of these buildings there is an old burying-lot enclosed by a stone-wall where monuments mark the resting places of earlier members of the Gilpatrick family, and of that of Stimpson, related by marriage. Between this dwelling and that erected by his brother, to be mentioned hereafter, there is a more modern enclosure, where members of later generations were buried. Thomas and Sally had a numerous family: their names will now appear :

He taught eleven town schools and five high schools, mostly in Limerick and Limington ; moved to Gray, Me., at the age of 36, and lives on a farm. His relatives im- formed me that Thomas studied for the Baptist ministry, but was not ordained ; that he has long been an earnest Christian, a leader of religious meetings, and clerk of the church of which he is a member in Gray, also prominent in political affairs, having filled positions of trust in his town. One son, living at home, unmarried.

Inheriting a part of the homestead property, he built a large mansion a short distance north from the residence of his brother Thomas. He was one of the solid men of Limerick, who was called to fill many stations of trust, always acquitting himself to the satisfaction of his fellow citizens. He was early commissioned colonel of the militia, and proved an efficient and popular commander. At the time of his death he was rated as the most wealthy man in town. His fields were many, broad, and brought to great productiveness ; his farming operations were carried on accord-

ing to the most improved methods. His stock of well-fed cattle, horses, and sheep, which were numerous, attracted the attention of dealers for many years, and his well-arranged and extensive farm buildings, well- cultivated fields, and fruitful orchards were subjects for remark by many a visitor and passerby. While he was a shrewd financier and keen man of business, he was, nevertheless, benevolent and helpful toward every good cause.
