Mary Kilpatrick |
MRS. MARY I. KILPATRICK.
The subject of this sketch, whose maiden name was Mary
Isabelle Patrick, is a daughter of one of the pioneers
of the Maumee Valley, John Patrick, who made a
settlement in this county in 1825. John Patrick
was a native of Canaan, Mass, and his wife Esther (Tift)
Patrick, was born in Providence, in the State of
Rhode Island. They were married in Oneida county, New
York State, whither their parents had removed before the
happening of that event. Soon after the young couple
left for the then western country, intending to locate in
Indiana, near Vincennes, to which place the wife’s parents
had emigrated. John Patrick and his wife
lived here some three or four years, after which they went
to Michigan, but on account of the severity of the winter
months, they returned to Ohio, and on the 17th of October,
1825, settled upon a tract of land in the Maumee Valley, in
what is now Liberty township, this county, the same land now
owned by George E. Patrick.
On this farm Mary Isabelle Patrick was born, on
the 4th day of November, in the year 1827. She lived
with her parents until October 28, 1852, when she was united
in marriage to David Kilpatrick, a native of Ireland,
but who came to Ohio in or about 1840. After their
marriage they moved to the farm the first below that now
occupied by our subject in Harrison township, and opposite
to the place first settled by her father. Of this
marriage one child, Ralph, was born, but died in
infancy.
David Kilpatrick was a soldier in the army, and
served early in the war, but died on the 19th of October,
1863, from diseases contracted in the South. The
struggles, hardships and privations of early life in the
valley are so fully recorded through various portions of
this work, that it is not important to recite all of those
endured by the Patrick family. John,
the pioneer, died on the 15th day of December, 1868, aged
seventy-three years; his wife, Esther, died on the
1st day of January, 1879, aged seventy-nine years. In
their family was
a number of children, viz.: Sarah, who died in
infancy; Kennath, who died in infancy; Ralph,
who died in November, 1848; Mary Isabelle, the
subject of this sketch, now a widow, and living in Harrison
township; Asenath, who died May 15, 1851; Jane, who
married George W. Hoskinson, and who died at
Napoleon, July 20, 1887; George E., now residing on
the old home farm in Liberty township; Hester Ann,
who married Samuel C. Hanna, and lives in
Indianapolis, Ind.; Almira, who died in infancy;
Mahala, who died in infancy; and Augusta, who
died in infancy. It will be seen from this record that
of a
family of eleven children, but three are now living, and one
of these is a resident of Indiana.
