Alexander Kilpatrick
M, #10403
Biography
| Oath of Allegiance | 1 July 1777 | Alexander took an Oath of Allegiance on 1 July 1777, Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, before Samuel Rea, Justice of the Peace. This oath renounced all allegiance to George the Third, King of Great Britain, and his heirs and successors. |
| Census | 1786 | He appeared in the census 1786 in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Alexander is listed as: #118, Kilpatrick Alexander. Also, under Single Freemen, numbers 274 and 274 are Kirkpatrick. 274 is possibly Aaron or something beginning with P 275 seems to start with Bus and end with der. This census is alphabetical by township.1  |
| Census | 1790 | He appeared in the census 1790 in Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Alexander is listed as: Alexander Kilpatrick 3 males 16 and upwards 2 males under 16 1 female Neighbors Many Teels (Adam, Leonard, Frederick), David Lockard, Alexander Lockard, Frederick Kerk, John Miller, Robert Galloway, Moses Balden, Robert McCumen Could this possibly be the father of the Alexander who appears in the next censuses? Could this possibly by any stretch of the imagination be the father of Lucas? |
| Tax List | 1798 | Alexander appeared on the tax list of in Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, in 1798. Alexander Kirkpatrick, unknown tax year between 1768 and 1801, 150 acres of land, 2 horses, 2 cattle. Probably the 1798 tax list. On the 1798 acreage list, he has 125 acres valued at $500. In the 1798 tax list, there are 2 separate listings for Kirpatrick [sic] John. 1) Owner and Occupant, 1 house, 1 out house, house 20x25, wood, assessed value $110. On the acreage list, there is only one John, and he has 125 acres, valued at $500. 2) Owner and Occupant, 1 house, 2 out houses, house 20x25, wood, assessed value $1202 |
| Census | 1800 | He appeared in the census 1800 in Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Alexander is listed as: Alex'r Kirkpatrick, 1 male 26-44, 1 female 25-44. Birth range of 1756 -1774. Since no children are listed, and they are not elderly, his birth year is probably towards the end of the range. There is also a John Kirkpatrick, 1 male 26-44, 1 female 25-44. Two men named John are on the 1798 Tax List, two separate dwellings. Maybe the same John, but it shows Owner and Occupant to be the same person for both dwellings. |
