Sadly, there is not actual connection.  It has to do with Google.  Somebody searched John Patrick Ayrshire Scotland 1429.  Google made a match with the terms John Scotland 1429, with John Stewart, who was married to Ms. Mongomerie, and then they posted it on their Ancestry family tree, and suddenly everybody was adding it.

I know this is 'WAY tardy, but the Ora et Labore phrase is Latin and means Pray and Work, a motto that is still in use in some schools and on at least one farm owned by a family of Nederlanders of the Reformed faith who live near us.  You can get a bit more historical info on the phrase on Wiki.

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:

John Patrick (or Patric):   b. 1429 in Ayrshire, Scotland, early records show he was a Notary, a person who could read and write.  I have been told by a native of Scotland that a Notary was a papal office of the Catholic Church.

John Patrick:  b. 1460 in Ayrshire Scotland

William Patrick:  b. 1495 in Ayrshire, Scotland, d. 1549 in Edinburgh, Scotland

            Sons:   Hew (Hugh), Robert, James, John b. 1530 d. 1638 in Edinburgh, Scotland and Alexander

John Patrick, b. 1530 d. 1638 son of William Patrick, who obtained a grant of the lands of Overmain, near Kilwinning, from the monastery, aquired 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 and Alexander.[4]

James Patrick:  b. 1552 in Edinburgh. Scotland, he married Agnes Finley b. 1557,

Sons: Thomas, Hugh, John, James, Robert and William

Thomas Kilpatrick:  b. 1580

John Kilpatrick:  b. 1605, he married Agnes Dockson in 1628, she was b. 1612 d. abt 1669

            Sons:   James and Robert

Robert Patrick:  b. 1635 in Edinburgh, Scotland, he married Susannah Harris

            Son:     Hugh H.

Hugh H. Patrick:   b. 1678 in Edinburgh, Scotland, he married Mary Campbell on November 24, 1704; she was the daughter of Sheriff Walter Campbell,[5] son of Archibald Campbell.  Some genealogies show Mary to be the daughter of Sheriff Walter Campbell of Skipness, the Clan Campbell Society of North American has verified that our Mary was not his daughter.

            Sons:   Robert, Hugh, William and John

Robert Patrick:  b. 1705 in Edinburgh, Scotland, he immigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 25, 1725 along with brothers Hugh, William and John.  He married Elizabeth in 1728 at Cumberland, Pennsylvania.  He died in 1758 in Frederick County, Maryland.

Children:        James b. 1729, Hugh b. 1732 d. 1814, William b. 1734 d. 1818, John b. 1736, Elizabeth b. 1737, Jeremiah b. 1738

 

I come down for the William line From Robert so add another distant cousin to the list!

Ah laddie one must remember thy lineage. The Patricks and McPhadricks were one and the same and held Lamont lands in the area of Coustoune and Butte. Allegiance was owed and readily give to the Clan Chief. The McPhadricks were one of the oldest septs of the Clan Lamont and were always held in high esteem by the Clan Chief due their loyalty and fealty. See: "The Lamont clan 1235-1935; seven centuries of clan history from record evidence.", by Hector McKechnie.

Let us not forget in the words of Hector McKechnie, author of the (Clan Lamont , pub.1935), "......the McPhadricks and Patricks were one and the same."

Hello - it seem that we are also related, as I also trace my ancestry back to Jeremiah Patrick and Sally Blair!

Soooooo excited to meet others of the Sept...

Any time I was researching, when I came accross anything that related to a name that was in my ancestry, i copied it and saved it. This was just one of the things i came across. My Patrick History goes back that I can link to a Walter Patrick born 1652. The only thing other than his birth and death was that he came from England. He died in 1678 in Virginia. My Grandmother was a Sweet. The Sweets came from England in 1630 to New England. Her mother was a Beeman. They came from Scotland. My Mother's side of the family were Rae's. They came over in the 1850's, from a small town outside of Glasgow, Scotland. So I have a lot to research.

John Walter Patrick came to Virginia sometime in the 1600’s, but I have no idea where they came from in England or when. I do know they landed in Virginia and settled in Charles Parish, York County, Virginia. If anyone knows anything about this line of Patrick's, please share your knowledge.

 I actually live in York County VA

Hello,

Trying to locate the parents of Ezekiel Patrick born (or baptized) January 7 1759.  This is confusion with the Ezekiel born in 1760 in Lancaster PA.  They have different places of death.

The RWP transcribed has Ezekial enlisting in Elizabeth town NC, in the Bladen County Regiment.  He was in the Battle of Brown Marsh and Wilmington.  I have more information on this is this would help.

He states that he was wanting to serve with his 3 brother, William, Daniel, and Samuel Patrick.  I know from teh County Tax Poll that Daniel and Samuel are listed in Bladen County in 1763.  I beleive they may be his brothers.  William was wounded at Hanging Rock, Broad River which I beleive was Wayne's Brigade.  Unfortunately Ezekiel did not get to serve with his brother during the second term as he had hoped.

The deposition for R7996, fn28NC was given October 23, 1833 in Perry County KY. 

After the War he Lived near Charelston SC, then Carter County TN, Russell County VA, and in 1827 moved to Perry at least through 1833.

We have record of him living in Clay County KY with his daughter Elizabeth (widowed) and near his son Daniel, also living in Clay County.

Whether he is Scot or Scot-Irish we don't know yet.  Still searching.  If anyone has any information, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thanks!!!

James

Wow, glad I found this post. I'm new here, but Dennis (Denpat55) is my uncle. On another note, I am currently living in Lacey, Washington (for you other Patricks living in Washington).

So many Patricks! Maybe I can make some progress with my ancestry research?

While there is scant evidence to support the claim, the MacPartick or Patrick were directly connected with the McPhadricks who trace their ancestry back to Hugh O' Neal, that last of the great Irish chiefs.  Mackechnie's (sic) seminal work is about the best historical family compilation available to us.  

While it is maintained (see "The History of the Clan Lamont, 1934"), that this branch of the Lamont are direct decedents of the McPhadrick Lamonts of Coustoun, Argyllshire, specific genealogical reference is absent. Lamont of Coustoun, the McPhadrick Lamonts of Coustoun were located on the western shore of Loch Striven, just about directly across the loch from the lands of Knockdow. In the old days, their geographic position isolated them, except for travel by sea. Even today, there are no major roads to the Coustoun lands. The first record of the Lamonts of Coustoun, was a charter witnessed by Patrick Ladman of Calstane, in 1498. Shortly after this, the name McPhadrick is found in land titles. Papers from 1541 show the McPhadricks to be part of Clan Lamont, and subject to the chief. In 1646, seven McPhadrics were murdered at Dunoon by the Campbells, including four sons of Baron McPhadrick, gentlemen of Coustoun. The last Baron McPhadrick, Cornelius, sold the estates to John of Kilfinan, a natural son of the chief, Archibald Lamont. And so ended the history of the least known of the Cadets families. The McPHADRICK LAMONTS held a strip of country between Ardbeg and Invernellbeg at Strone with CAMPBELLS and MacLACHLANS breathing down their necks. Four sons of BARON McPHADRICK OF COUSTON, with another of their family, met their deaths on the hanging tree at Dunoon. The last of the family moved to Newcastle in the 17th century. According to Hector McKechnie in his tomb, "The Lamont Clan 1235 - 1935", the McPhadricks were: "But the style of Baron" which attached to its owner, as to Monydrain and Knockdow certainly suggests a former independent holding of the Crown. This was probably inaugurated by some Patrick Lamont as the patronymic which was adopted was "McPhadrick" (though it 'was little to the fore till the 17th century). Doubtless the families of this surname, who are later found on the east side of the loch about Ardyne and Inverchaolain, are of the sept from those common men who perished on  the hanging tree at Dunoon. Some direct descendants of the gentlemen of MacPhadrick did survive the gruesome wrath of the Campbell's. MaKenchnie identified several, one being my great grandfather, the Clyde shipbuilder, Henry Lamont of Gripton and Greenlaw.  However, as is his style, MacKechnie fails to draw a direct line.  Instead he refers to a clerical letter sent to my 2nd, great grandfather , one W'm Lamont of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire asserting the connection was correct. MacKechnie leaves it there.
