PATRICK FAMILY.
The head of the family in this country was Thomas Gill or Kill Patrick (he was called by both names), a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian.
In the centuries of early Christianity, and up to the ninth or tenth century, the north of Ireland and the Scottish shores were peopled by the same race, virtually, northern Ireland being known to primitive history as " Scotia." The name Patrick was equally common on both sides, and it is to this time. It is known that about the ninth century one of these Patricks built a church, from which he took the name " Kirk " or " Kill Patrick." Those bearing the name "Kirk" in the south, of " Kill" in the north of Scotland, of " Kill " or "Gill" in the north of Ireland, are all regarded as descendants of the same branch-of the Kirk Patrick of Dumfries, Scotland, who built the church. Cille, Kill, or Gill, signifies, in the Celtic and Gaelic, a place of worship. Kirk, also, has the same significa- tion.
The Kill or Kirk Patricks recognized their fealty to the crown of Scotland as late as the days of Bruce, fighting under the banner of their chief until he won his crown. When Bruce wounded the Red Comyn, at Gray Friar's Church, Dumfries, in 1306, one of his followers, Sir Roger Kirk Patrick, or Kill Patrick (half the historians of that day wrote it " Kill "), who would have no doubt on such a matter, said, " I mak sikar " (I make sure), and slew the man outright. The crest in the Kirk Patrick arms is a hand holding a dagger in pale, distilling drops of blood, and their motto is, "I mak sikar." The suc- cessors of the Closeburn, Dumfries, estates are baronets, and the present head of the house is Sir Thomas Kirk Patrick. Dumfries was their original home .. During the troublous times in the early part of the seventeenth century, some of the fami- lies known as Covenanters crossed the Mull of Cantyre to An- trim in 1628, and were active in the wars terminating with the siege of Derry. One family of this Dumfries branch of Kirk or Kill Patricks was among them, and from this family descended Thomas Gill or Kill Patrick. A member of this Scotch fam- ily (Carl Kill Patrick) separated himself from them in the English interest, and became Lord of Osraighe. Thomas Kill or Gill Patrick was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian, b. 1674, who came from Coleraine, county Antrim, Ireland, in 1718, with nine sons and one daughter, who was drowned. They came first to Boston, thence to Wells, York county, Maine, where he did not long remain, but, leaving some of his family there, removed with five sons to Biddeford, Maine, where afterwards he was known to be an active member of the church. He died

in Biddeford. 1762, aged SS years. His descendants are scat- tered over the United States, known as Gill Patricks, Kill Pat- ricks, Patricks, and some drop the suffix "Patrick," and are known as the "Gill" family. We learn, from Eaton's " His- tory of Fort St. George," that on April IS, 1735, twenty- seven men, Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, from Biddeford, Saco, and Wells, entered into a contract with Col. Waldo to set- tle upon his lands. Among these men were Thomas, John, and Andrew, sons of Thomas Kill Patrick, of Biddeford. In 1745, on account of the war, the Waldo settlers, many of them, left St. George, and went to Boston and neighboring towns. Andrew removed to Dedham. Elizabeth, the married sister left in Ireland, sailed for this country, and landed at Pem- aquid in 1732. She ever after kept house for her brother Thomas (a bachelor), who left his estate to her son. Thomas commanded the Provincial militia from about 1745 until his death, 1770.
From an old record in Stoughton, Mass., this is gleaned : " Samuel Kill Patrick, b. 1733, was apprenticed to Joseph Billings at 14 years of age. Says he is the son of Andrew Kill Patrick, late of St. George, Knox county, Me. He lived in Stoughton as late as 1765."
I ANDREW KILL PATRICK, son of Thomas Kill Patrick, b. in Coleraine, Antrim Co., Ireland ; came to this country in 1718; and tradition says he was seven or eight years old when he crossed the water. He prob- ably d. in Dedham, Mass., for John Patrick, second (father of General Marsena R. Patrick, N. Y.), visited him there, soon after the battle of Bunker Hill. Six children :
I. Samuel, b. 1733.++
II. William, b. 1741 : killed in battle, May 30, 1778, a. 37. He m. Deborah Smith, of Dedham, soon after which he re. to Stough- ton, which was his home until his death. On the church records of Dedham, where the marriage is recorded, his name is writ- ten "Kill Patrick," and in early life he was called " Kill Patrick," but in 1777 he some- times signed his name "Patrick." In 1778 he was captain in Col. Alden's Fourth Mass. Regt., and was killed in the engagement with the Tories and Indians, at Cherry Val- ley, on the 30th of May, that year. He had a son, Andrew.

He drop- ped the prefix " Kill" before removing to Fitzwilliam, and was known, ever after, as "Patrick." He re. to Jaffrey, Dec., 1809, and d. Aug. 6, 1817, a. 84. Eight children :

In 1818 he joined a colony from Middletown, Vt., which made a settlement in Ohio. His uncle, Dr. Ezra Clark, was among them, and the doctor persuaded him to commence the study of medicine. He purchased land and returned East to marry. The idea of a home in the far West (as it then seemed) away from kindred and friends, did not please his wife; therefore he re- mained on the farm until the death of his father, soon after which he sold the farm, and purchased mills in the village now called East Jaffrey. He was a very social man, and exceedingly enjoyed the intercourse of his fellow-townsmen. They often conferred upon him their best town offices, and once he was sent to the state legislature as their representative. He was a member of the Congregational church. He was fond of books, and was well read in law, but financial suc- cess was not his fate. He took advantage of the bank- rupt law in 1840, and soon after re. to Bolton, where he survived his misfortunes but a few years.

He afterwards went to Salem, Mass., thence to New Ipswich, N. H., where his health failed, and a sea voyage was advised. He sailed from New Bedford, for the north-west coast, in 1845,-doubling the Cape of Good Hope on the outward voyage, and Cape Horn on his return. He took with him about seventy volumes of reading matter, and Bowditch's Navigation. He kept the ship's reckoning, and a journal, during the voyage. After being absent nearly three years, he re- turned to his former occupation. He would have followed the sea, probably, had he not received a permanent injury during the voy- age. He r. in Lowell, Mass., and is now a manufacturer of and dealer in cigars and tobacco.
