Hello,
Does anyone have information on a Kilpatrick family in Somerset County?
Sarah Kilpatrick (1787 - 1852) married William Rush (1784 - 1870) in

I would very much appreciate information on Sarah's parents and ancestors.
Her parents may have been John and Jane.
Thanks,

Hi Deonna,
You posed a good question concerning these family surnames.
Buechley/Beeghley/Beachley are a different family (German -
