General Notes: Husband - Maj. Abraham Kirkpatrick

---

He was a Virginia officer in the Revolutionary army, who was paymaster at Fort Pitt, and located there permanently at the close of the war. With Gen. John Neville, his brother-in-law, he was a conspicuous figure in upholding federal authority during the so-called "Whiskey Insurrection" of 1794. Major Kirkpatrick purchased in March, 1794, from John Penn, Jr., and John Penn, heirs of William Penn, farms 10 and 11 in the Manor of Pittsburg, south of the Monongahela river, containing seven hundred and fourteen acres and comprising the territory known locally as Mt. Washington and Duquesne Heights. After his death this property was divided among his three children.
