Patrick Family Sept

MacPatrick · Senior Member

David,

I am also a Patrick descendant, my Patrick family came from Eastern Kentucky and Virginia, they descend from Hugh H. Patrick and Mary Campbell. If you are a descendant of both the Pattons and Patricks I am guessing your descent is through the same line.

I have a short history I have compiled on the Patricks but I am unable to post it through Mozilla, I'll have to experiment some to get it posted.

This is the information on my Patrick line.

THE PATRICK FAMILY OF SCOTLAND, VIRGINIA AND KENTUCKY

Our Patrick ancestors have been represented in the history of Scotland, Virginia and Kentucky since around 1400. They have been well documented by several reasearchers, the most notable being the late Dr. Lee Wellington Patrick of Fairway, Kansas. Dr. Patrick’s records are the result of his study and research of the Scottish archives and are documented in his book Patrick in Retrospect published in 1993.

The Patricks are most certainly descendants of The MacPhadrick Lamonts of Couston, this family is a cadet family of Clan Lamont, their history is documented in Hector McKechnie’s Book The Lamont Clan 1235-1935. The MacPhadrick lands of about 280 imperial acres are found near the present day town of Couston located on Loch Striven in Cowal adjacent to those of the Lamonts. Clan Lamont is well documented in charters executed with their neighbors the Campbells. The Campbells were noted for their efficient recordkeeping. A vast amount of Clan Lamont history is preserved in the records of Clan Campbell.

There are several variations of the name Patrick, surnames were not fixed or passed from generation to generation as we know them today. A passage in McKechnie’s book points this out. “The first entry in the surviving register of Baptisms (beginning in 1735) is of a son Archibald to Hugh Patrick in Couston, who later appears as Hugh McPhatrick. Other variations are Mcffathrick and Gilpatrick. That same Archibald married in 1736 under the name McGilpharich, and a Hugh Lamont was ferrier at Couston in 1753.”[1]

How little fixed were the clan surnames is brought out by the following letter to an inquirer from the Session Clerk of Inverchaolain in 1830. “As to the sirname [sic] Lamont & Patrick or McPhatrick which is all the same,” it narrates, “ As of the sirname [sic] they go by the two names in common in our parish to this day, and your father’s extract is a plain proof of this fact, the introductory margin of the register bearing the name Lamont while the body bears the name Mcfadrick.”[2]

The early Patricks in Scotland were Catholics. The Patricks became early converts to the Protestant religion and joined the reformers under the Earl of Glencairn, some of them accompanied the expedition to the north of Ireland under Hugh Montmorency of Broadstone, afterwards Viscount of Ardes, who as expressed in his patent from James VI brought a colony of Scots into Clandebara and Ardes, toward the increase of that religion settled in that county where their descendants still possess property near Berry.[3]

Our direct Patrick Lineage is as follows:

Clan MacLaren also claims the Sept Patrick but the locations of birth and residence for our line rule that out.

The historians of Clan MacLaren readily acknowledge that the Patricks among them were descendants of the MacPhadrick's of Couston.

The Lamonts are the only clan that claims the Patrick's as a sept.

This is excellent information. Thank you! Our line does come from Virgina and Eastern Kentucky. Magoffin Co, KY to be specific.

Being as I have to leave for Turkey day I don't have time to fully digest this information but I will look it over this weekend.

David · President - CLSNA

It's official! We are related!

Everything is virtually identical with a few exceptions. I'll note those below but here is where we split . . .

Jeremiah Patrick: b. 1738 in Russell County Virginia, he married Sarah (Sally) Blair in 1760 in Harrisonburg, Rockingham County Virginia. He died in 1822 in Floyd County, now Magoffin County, Kentucky.

Children: William, Jeremiah Jr., Jackson (John), Brice, Thomas K., Elias, Maston, Polly, Gerusia, Rutha, Sarah, Louisa, Nancy and Margaretta

I am a descendant of William Patrick who you have listed above under Jeremiah's children. I have all the same children listed in my documents.

Back to the beginning and I have to apologize because I swear I had this back to the 1200's but maybe I was drinking at the time. biggrin I have slightly different information than you so let's compare.

John of Ayrshire Patric - Birth 1429, Scotland ?
Son - John

John of Ayrshire Patrick - Birth 1460, Scotland ?
Son - William

William Patrick - Birth 1495, Scotland?
Son - John

John Patrick - Birth 1530, Scotland ?
Sons - Hew (Hugh), Robert, James, John, Alexander

I seem to have an extra John in 1530 who is the father of the sons you have listed as William' 1495.

I have other varying information in my records as well but it's clear that we are from the same line. I knew there was a reason we got along so well! wink

Shall I post everything I have?

MacPatrick · Senior Member

It's official ! biggrin

Jim, David and James are indeed related. We are all descendants of Jeremiah Patrick and Sarah "Sally" Blair. This is cool, It only took a couple of posts to find this information.

It appears your records may be correct I have omitted a generation, 60 years is a pretty good gap between generations, 30 is about average. I've checked my records, I do have an error, I must correct that.

I have transcriptions of some of the records of the Jeremiah Patrick family, court actions, wills and land records. I have some information on the Blair's. I also have the three books on The Patrick Family of Eastern Kentucky published by the Magoffin Historical Society. The books have loads of information, transcripts of records, and deeds. There are a lot of pictures in the books including pictures of some Patton families.

I actually have a section of a large Patton compendium entitled,"Descendants of James and Florence [Graham] Patton of Floyd County Kentucky" but I would love to get my hands on the Patrick books you're talking about. How do you get these? I have to add them to my library.

I am actually amazed that we have been talking for so long and never made this connection. All I was doing was trying to kick off the Sept room by posting some personal info. I never expected a response because all the other Patricks I have met had no records or were of a different line. I'm really amazed!

David,

You can order these books from the Magoffin County Historical Society, you can find this by doing a google search. There is a newsletter on their website authored by Todd Preston, his newsletter is a treasure trove of Patrick information and information on the other families who lived in the area. I beleive he is a Patrick descendant. The books are not fancy as they are a budget effort by the Society, they are available almost at the cost of reproduction. I think I paid less than $40.00 for the three books. There is a treasure trove of pictures and transcipts of documents of the family.

You will find information on the Reins family. The other families from Magoffin County that are of interest to me are the Mays, Adams, Caudills and Blairs. Todd Preston has spent a huge amount of time finding and preserving cemeteries and tombstones. You will find the site very interesting reading.

MacPatrick · Senior Member

David,

I edited my original post and corrected the information, thanks for pointing this out to me.

MacPatrick · Senior Member

David, James and I share some common ancestors, one of these ancestor's is Jeremiah Patrick b. 1738 in Maryland d. 1822 in Floyd County, Kentucky , his wife was Sarah "Sally" Blair b. 1741 in Virginia, d. 1793 in Floyd County, Kentucky. Sally was the Daughter of Brice Blair who was most likely born in Northern Ireland.

This connection makes us descendants of Clan Blair as well as Clan Lamont. If you are interested, Clan Blair has a very informative website at www.clanblair.org.

David · President - CLSNA

It's amazing how many clans we have possible connections with once you get going. Thanks for the info. I'll definetely check it out.

Denpat55 · Senior Member

I was wondering if the Patrick, MacPatrick or MacPhadrick have there own Coat of arms, Badges, or Tartans?

Dennis

MacPatrick · Senior Member

Dennis,

I do have a copy of a Patrick Coat of Arms that I can send you. It is in black and white I don't know the colors though. The interesting thing about it is that it is a copy of the Lamont arms with the edge band around it that indicates a cadet family and has the hand found on the clan badge above it. It will send it you via personal e-mail as I have it on my computer at home.

Be aware a Coat of Arms is issued to an individual and are not a family coat of arms, but it is an interesting insight into our heritage and does confirm that we do indeed have a Lamont heritage.

Denpat55 · Senior Member

Jim

That wound like you to email the Coat of arms. I got a book of the Patrick family from around the would that had a coat of arms that had an arm coming out of the top of the shield with a cross in it hand. I don’t think it is the right one.

MacPatrick · Senior Member

Dennis,

What is the name of the book? Can I find a copy of it?

I have another Patrick Coat of Arms but I don't remember what it looked like, I'll have to take a look at it again. The one I was describing earlier stuck in my mind because it was so similar to the Lamont crest, so I scanned it for future reference.

Denpat55 · Senior Member

I am at work, I will check when I get home and email you if I have time, if not I can get back to you on Monday.

MacPatrick · Senior Member

Hey Guys, Listen Up! biggrin

It's official, Dennis is related to James, David and I, his 4th GGF William Patrick was the brother of our ancestor Jeremiah Patrick (my 4th GGF).

The Patrick Sept is gathering! We are all heading down to the Cowal Tavern for a wee dram.

sighhh there goes the neighborhood

Denpat55 · Senior Member

I found this about Robert Patrick on the internet. My Granddad told me that are family came over to America as bound servant. This mite be hem?

Robert Patrick came to Philadelphia PA on Aug. 25, 1725 at the age of 21. He came as a bound servant on the ship Amity from the Bideford, England. He was Indentured Servant to James Gerard. He owned property in 1741 in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County PA. and Yellow Britches Creek, PA. Between 1754-1758 he was Constable of Sugar Loaf Hundred. His son James was one of the Colonel Washington's soldiers at Braddock's Defeat defeat. Most of Robert Patrick's children served with Washington in the Revolutionary War.

David · President - CLSNA

Hey allright! Cousin Dennis!!! We'll have to form a Union if we get anymore of us in here!

Hi Y'all, my Mac Patricks came throught the Port of Charleston in 1711. They were Anglicised as Paterson by the bloody English who ruled the colonies at that time. They didn't want many around with marked differences,especially names, so Paterson it was. My Macpatrick ancestor had the middle name of Couston,how "Cowal-ish" can this be. He was the son of a Neil Paterson(MacPatrick) who came to the colonies as an indentured servant and headed straight for the mountains of N.C./S.C. when his seven years were done. The family migrated through the hills of Georgia and ended up about 15 miles from Blairsville,Georgia where we had a fabulous turn-out for the Highland games a few weeks ago!! FanninCo.,Murray Co.,Gilmer Co. and Polk Co.(Tn.) are littered with cousins galore! This is the sept with which I joined CLSNA too,David! Glad I did now!! Haven't stopped enjoying since I joined!

MacPatrick · Senior Member

Welcome Cousin Mike,

The MacPatrick of Couston presence is growing, George you have to get out and recruit some more Knockdow's for the forum.

If this growth pattern keeps up we are going to be able to have a Sept AGM right here on the forum.

Anyway, the Patricks and MacPatricks are assembling and heading down to the Cowal Tavern for a few wee drams.

David · President - CLSNA

We are going to have to start official recording all of us cousins in a ledger if we find anymore! :)

Hello! I found this forum while searching for information regarding the Scottish Patricks of Kentucky and thought I'd share some of my line, from Robert Patrick to my great-grand father, Frederick Laforest Patrick.

The majority of my information comes from The Name and Family of Patrick, a paper published in 1940, presented at the Patrick Reunion, Slayersville, Magoffin County, Kentucky, September 22, 1940, and written by Dr. Wellington Patrick, University of Kentucky.

---------
Robert Patrick: b. 1705, Edinburgh, Scotland. Married Elizabeth Ann Stephens (b. 1709) on 1728 in Yellow Britches, Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania. d. 1758 in Frederick Co., Maryland.

Arrived in Philadelphia on Aug. 25, 1725 with brothers Hugh, William and John.
He took a bride, Elizabeth, in 1728 and they owned land on Yellow Breeches Creek, Cumberland Co., PA in 1742. Their six children--5 boys and 1 girl--played with George Washington as children.
s. James fought under Col. Washington at Braddock’s Defeat, French and Indian War.

Children: James, Hugh, John J, Elizabeth, Jeremiah, William

Hugh Patrick: b. 1732, Loudoun Co., Virginia. Married Susannah Harris (1742-1793). d. 1814, Roane, Lee Co. Virginia.

Hugh Patrick was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was sworn to Captain John Draper's Company by Stephen Trigg in 1777.
Hugh and Jeremiah were given land grants by the Loyal Land Company in January 1775. This land was on the New River and later became part of Montgomery County, VA. Hugh and Jeremiah owned adjoining land. Both of them lived in Montgomery County, VA. until after the Revolution. In the spring of 1789, they sold their holdings in Montgomery County, VA.
No land records for James were found in Montgomery County. However, he was in service during most of this period. He was in the Army several times but records show that each time he was discharged he returned to an area where Hugh and Jeremiah resided.
All three of the brothers were in North Carolina when the 1790 census was taken. They apparently did not remain there very long because Hugh was in Lee County, VA by 1795 and Jeremiah was in Russell County, VA. These were adjoining counties. At that time both of these counties in Virginia adjoined Kentucky.
On March 6, 1798, Hugh Patrick purchased 200 acres of land from Frederick Jones in Lee County, Virginia.

Children: Margaret, Mary, Nancy, Priscilla, Robert, Dorcas, James, Elizabeth, Jemina, John(?)

Robert “Robin” Patrick Sr.: b. 1764, August, Staunton Co., Virginia. Married twice, 1. Elizabeth “Betsy” McMullin, 2. Nancy Prater. d. 1859 in Patrick Cemetery, Patrick, Madison Co., Arkansas

Robert and his first wife Betsy lived for a time in Wilkes County, North Carolina and were in Lee County, Virginia and Overton Co., Tenn. before migrating to Floyd County, Kentucky. ~1810?
Military service with the Kentucky Militia during the War of 1812.
Robert owned land on the Licking River in Floyd co., Ky. He was later granted land on the right hand fork of Oakley Creek, His land was located at the meadows of Licking at the mouth of Gun Creek. This would be of the area where the town of Royalton now stands. He operated a grist mill at the foot of the Big Half mountain in what is now Magoffin Co., Kentucky.
After 30 years in Kentucky, Robert decided it was time to move again. In 1838, at age 74, migrated to Madison Co., Arkansas where he settled on the White River following Betsy’s death. Out of his seventeen children, six children; Robert Patrick Jr., Wiley Patrick, Jemima Patrick, Mary Ann Patrick, George W. Patrick and Rhoda Patrick, came with their father to Madison County, Arkansas.

Children: 1) Hugh, Henry, Hiram, Robert Jr., Nancy, Margaret, Brice, 2) John, Jemima, Elizabeth, Mary Ann, George, Wiley, Alexander, Sarah, Samuel, Rhoda

Hugh Patrick: b. 1805, of Johnson, Magoffin Co., Kentucky (Overton Co., TN?). Married to Mary Jane Prater (1808-1880), Married June 3rd 1826. d. 1833, Magoffin Co., Ky.

In 1894 relocated to Waxahachie, Texas and then to Creek Nation Indian Territory in 1903 due to Boll Weevil plague.
Engaged in farming and stock raising during the summer, taught school during winter months.

Frederick Laforest Patrick: b. April 6th 1889 in Adele, Morgan Co., Kentucky. Married Anna Mae Wetherington, on May 5, 1908 at Wolfe, Oklahoma. d. October 14, 1970 in Sapulpa, Creek Co., Oklahoma.

Migrated with family to a cotton plantation in Waxahachie, Texas and then to Creek Nation Indian Territory in 1903.
Appointed by the Five Civilized Tribes to teach at Wolfe, Seminole Nation.
Champion saddle bronc/trick rider and foot racer in 1909, outrunning famed Indian athlete Jim Thorpe.
Enshrined in the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, opened his law office in Sapulpa, Okla. in 1913 and served as mayor of Sapulpa from 1948-1950

Hopefully this can be of use, or possibly someone could help fill in some of the holes as most of my information is dated. The Hugh (son of Robert, brother of Jeremiah) line seems to be a bit harder to uncover, especially in the 1800's.

Regards,

Todd Ryan Patrick

Here are some excerpts from The Name and Family of Patrick, by Dr. Wellington Patrick, 1940.

First is a sketch of a Patrick Coat of Arms as described in Encyclopedia of Heraldry Burke, London, 1844 - for the Patricks of Ayrshire, Scotland.

Second is a brief historical background, citing some of the same information as in MacPatrick's posts above, of the Patrick family of Scotland.:

----------------------------------------------------------------

Among the earliest records of the family in Great Britain are those of William Patric of Lincolnshire in 1273; those of Ivo Patryk of County Essex about the same time; those of Ralph Patryk on Hertforshire about 1292; those of Patric de Culwen of Westmoreland and Cumberland Counties of 1307; those of Willelmus Patrik of Howdenshire about 1379; those of John Paterik of Yorkshire about the same time; and those of John Patrick of Ayrshire before 1459. These early bearers of the name appear to have been largely of the British landed gentry and yeomanry.

The Scotch Family of Patrick

It is probably that the noted Ayrshire, Scotland family of the name traces its descent from John Patrick last mentioned in the paragraph above, although this is not certain. This family was represented in 1549 by William Patrick, who was the father of a son named John, who was the father of Hew or Hugh, Robert, James, John, and Alexander. Of these, Hew (or Hugh) was the father by his wife, Janet Crawford, of James, Robert, and Hew (or Hugh), of whom the second was the father in the early seventeenth century of Hew (or Hugh), Robert, and John; Robert probably left no issue (children); James married Agnes Finlay, and was the father of Thomas, Hew (or Hugh), John, James, Robert, and Williams, all of whom assumed the name of Kilpatrick, or Killpatrick, the eldest son, Thomas, being the father of a son named John and probably of others as well; John married Agnes Dockson and was the father by her of James and Robert, both of whom left numerous issue in Scotland; and Alexander resided in County Antrim, Ireland, and probably left numerous issue there by his wife Joanna Greg.

Burke’s Encyclopedia of Heraldry, London, 1844, gives a brief statement about the Scotch line of Patricks as follows:

The ancestors of the different familes of the name of Patrick who now hold property in the County of Ayr (Ayrshire, Scotland) were settled and held about the Monastery of Kilwinning, long before the Reformation. From John Patrick of Overmains near Kilwinning, living in 1605, lineally descended John Patrick from whom his Tutors purchased in 1748 the lands of Tearne in his native county. He was father of Robert Patrick of Tearne and Hazlehead, in Ayreshire, Esq.

Burke’s Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, 1852 (vol. 3, p. 1009) has this to say about the Patricks in Scotland:

The ancestors of the different families of Patrick which now hold property in Ayrshire (says Robertson) were settled, and hold situations about Kilwinning, long prior to the Reformation. John Patrick attests as a notary public a charter connected with the church, dated 19 July 1459, afterwards ratified in Parliament; and William Patrick is a subscribing witness to a lock of teinds of Dalry, granted by Alexander a commendator of Kilwinning to John Hamilton, 1459.

The Patricks becoming early converts to the Protestant religion joined the reformers under the Earl of Glencairn, and some of them accompanied the expedition to the north of Ireland under Hugh Montmorency of Broadstone, afterwards Viscount of Ardes, who as expressed in his patent from James VI, brought a colony of Scots into Clandebara and Ardes, toward the increase of the restored religion, settled in that country where their descendants still possess property near Derry.

John Patrick (son of William Patrick) who obtained a grant of the lands of Overmains, near Kilwinning, from the monastery, acquired by charter, in 1605, the estate of Byres, in Ayrshire and subsequently part of the lands of Dalgarven. He died in 1638 leaving five sons, James, Robert, Hew, John, Alexander.

I suspect you will soon hear from about 50 cousins smile in very short order. The Patricks are quite active here.

Welcome to the rabble.

David · President - CLSNA

Welcome Todd,

We can always use another Patrick cousin around here. There aren't nearly enough. biggrin

Thank you for posting all of this great information. All of my Patrick (and Patton) relatives with a few exceptions are still in Kentucky. Sadly, I haven't met any of them.

Welcome and thanks again!

Welcome Todd,

You are related to David, James, Dennis and I, it's great to have another Patrick cousin here on the forum.

Thank you for posting this information, I have not seen the majority of this information. I appreciate your generosity in posting this information on the forum. It will help contribute to our success.

I have quite a bit of information on the Patrick families of Kentucky from the Magoffin County Historical Society.

We signed up a new member at Stone Mountain this past weekend, and guess what he is a PATRICK too!

Welcome Todd and thanks for the info. I found some info from Dr. Wellington Patrick on the internet. I have been unable to fine a hard copy of his book Patrick in Retrospect so any new info would be greatly accepted.

Great stuff Todd! Thanks for sharing so much info. The Patricks will find it of great use. Keep checking in as I'm sure many conversations will sprout from this. Enjoy.

We like to harrass you guys because we know you can take it. But really, without all the Patricks, we wouldn't have many posting members here.

OK, that's twice this year I've been nice - I've used up my quota for next year already. biggrin

I met a bunch of Browns and Whites this weekend and at other shows. Between them and the Turner's they are probably the septs that could easily tip the scales on us Patricks. Good thing for us that the Browns and Whites can't stand to not know 100% if they are Lamonts or not and the Turners don't like to belong to anything organized.

MacPatrick · Senior Member

There is one thing for sure about being a PATRICK descendant, no other clan claims us, so we are 100% sure we belong here.

I agree, PATRICK'S RULE!

Denpat55 · Senior Member

I agree PATRICKS rule!! Need I say more!!

I love my PATRICK NAME!!

In Toddrytn post, the Coat of Arms has the Motto: ORA-ET-LABORE. What dose the motto mean?

Hey Jim, did you get my email about lunch?

Wendy Patrick Koogler · Newbie

Hello,
My name is Wendy Koogler. My maiden name is Patrick and I'm a direct descendent of Hugh Patrick and Mary Campbell. My line is from Robert Patrick & Elizabeth their son, Jeremiah. Jeremiah Patrick married Sarah "Sallie" Blair & from their son Brice. Brice Patrick married wife who is unknown? & from their son, Elias. Elias Patrick married Fanny Riddle & from their son Jesse. Jesse Patrick married Susanna Rhodes & from their son Arthur. Arthur Patrick married Lydia Lang & from their son, Charles Maxwell Patrick. Charles Patrick married Mary Van Campen & their son Charles Arthur Patrick.Charles A. Patrick married Wilma Moore & their son, Charles Michael Patrick. Charles M. Patrick married Cheryl Overman & their daughter Gwendolyn " Wendy" Patrick Koogler.

Brice Patrick left Kentucky and was supposed to go to Missouri but stayed in Crawford Co. or Harrison Co., Indiana. We are the Patricks of Southern Indiana. We stayed until 1920 and the young Patricks left for better jobs. My family stoped in St. Louis,Missouri and stayed their ever since. My great grandfather, Charles Maxwell Patrick told us we are from Scottish roots. I would love to find our Patrick family history. Where can I find the book Patrick in Restrospect or any other information about the Patricks.

Thank you,
Wendy Patrick Koogler

1st welcome to our forum

2nd this is the place to find Patricks. I am not a Patrick but you will soon find more cousins than you can imagine.

David · President - CLSNA

Welcome Wendy!

Obviously you read the other posts first and know that both me and Jim "MacPatrick" are descendants of Jeremiah and Sally also. Then there is Dennis who is a descendant of Jeremiah's brother.

I have to take a moment to mention how cool this is.

We are glad you found us.

Jim mentioned how to get The Patrick Family of Eastern Kentucky but I don't think he mentioned the other.

No worries Wendy. He'll be posting soon!

Sorry everybody but here is comes . . . Welcome Cousin Patrick!

David,

Ah just think, Jim. It was only a year ago that we made our bloodline discovery! Now look at all the resentment that has followed.

Jealousy is so powerful.
