     Harriet was educated in the East Rutherford Schools. Pictures of her classes remain. Because she had attained the necessary credits at age 15, she was graduated from high school, the 2nd ranking member of her class. She and her family were members of the Rutherford Methodist Church, and later the Wesleyan Methodist Church in East Rutherford. She was secretary of its Epworth League.
After graduation, Harriet attended Business College. In 1917 she applied for a job as a stenographer at Flint Kote Roofing. She was hired by her future husband, John Oswald Short. One 'quirk' was that John Short was a British Subject when they married. Harriet lost her citizenship and had to be a naturalized citizen.
In 1933, after the Depression wiped out home and savings, the family moved to Milford, Connecticut. Harriet became active in the Congregational Church in Milford, was active in the PTA, the Red Cross and hostess for many family gatherings of family from New Jersey and New England. In 1941, she suffered a cerebral hemmhorrage and miraculously survived with no long term effects.
She was a house mother during WWII at a home for girls who worked in defense plants, and continued working after the war on a part-time basis. After the death of John Short in 1953, Harriet traveled mainly to homes where her daughter's husband was stationed. In 1973 she suffered a cerebral 'event' and passed away July 21, 1973. Married name: Short.

     Henry Kirkpatrick was born circa 1865.¹ He died on 9 May 1940.¹ He was buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Nyack.¹

     Hiram Kirkpatrick married Elizabeth Johnson.¹

     James Kirkpatrick married Elizabeth.¹ He died on 19 June 1842 at Haverstraw, Rockland County, NY.¹
     The death certificate of William Washington Kirkpatrick was cited by a friend of the family. It says the father was George, and the mother Mary. While in the Rockland County Courthouse in June 1996, I located a legal paper of a James Kirkpatrick. This paper which calls the family 'Kilpatrick' states that James died without more than $100.00 in property and that his son Hiram wished to be the Executor. The widow's name was Elizabeth. Children were Hiram Kilpatrick, Eliza wife of William Allison, Mary wife of Patrick Hughes, James G. Kilpatrick, Marquis Kilpatrick, Gilbert Kilpatrick and William Kilpatrick.

In 1848, brother Gilbert Kirkpatrick, deceased, was named in a surrogate court paper by his widow Catherine. In the paper she named herself, Elizabeth and Marquis of Haverstraw; James Harvey Kirkpatrick and William Kirkpatrick of Nyack; Hiram Kirkpatrick of New Jersey and Mary wife of Patrick Hughes, residing in Penn. Because there was only one William Kirkpatrick in the 1850 Census of Nyack, and in the obituary he was listed as the youngest of 10 children, I believe the William Kirkpatrick of our line is the son of James Kirkpatrick who died in Haverstraw 19 January 1842.

It was noted while I was in the Haverstraw Library, that in the early 1800's, a special soil for brickmaking was discovered along the banks of the Hudson River in Haverstraw. Hundreds of brickmaking operations were setup which hired thousands of laborers. A possibility of why the Kirkpatrick family moved into Haverstraw.

There were no deeds for James Kirkpatrick. However, brother Marquis and wife Phebe sold land in Haverstraw in 1860 and recorded 1862. Phoebe Ann wife of Marcus Kirkpatrick was buried 3 March 1861 age 35 years Mount Report Cemetary, Haverstraw.(Records of Graveyard Inscriptions Rockland Co., NY.)¹

     James Harvey Kirkpatrick was born circa 1821.¹ He married Betsy Ann Clark on 2 February 1839 at Greenbush Presbyterian Church, Blauvelt, NY.¹ He died on 15 September 1865 at Haverstraw, Rockland County, NY.¹

     Jane Kirkpatrick was born on 25 September 1793 at South Carolina.¹ She married William Steele, son of Joseph Steele and Elizabeth Carson, on 24 December 1812 at Christian, KY.¹ She died on 3 August 1854 at Cooper, MO, at age 60.¹
     Married name: Steele.

     Marguerite Louise Kirkpatrick was born on 11 August 1902 at East Rutherford, Bergen County, NJ.¹ She married Lester W. Current on 11 September 1924 at East Rutherford, Bergen County, NJ.¹ She died on 17 February 1981 at Toms River, NJ, at age 78.¹ She and Lester W. Current were buried in the Hillside Cemetery in Lyndhurst.¹

     Milton Kirkpatrick was born on 12 August 1869 at Nyack, Rockland County, NY.¹ He married Cornelia Garnier Kruger, daughter of Louis Kruger and Harriet Fitzrandolph, on 24 June 1896 at East Rutherford, Bergen County, NJ.¹ He died on 20 January 1923 at East Rutherford, Bergen County, NJ, at age 53.¹ He was buried in the Hillside Cemetery in Lyndhurst.¹
     He and Cornelia Garnier Kruger lived at Randolph Avenue, East Rutherford, NJ.      Having no birth certificate for Milton Kirkpatrick, I must rely on family history to pinpoint his birth at 12 Aug 1869 in Nyack, Rockland County, New York. His marriage return of the State of New Jersey lists his parents as William Kirkpatrick and Emma Warner, both born in America. The newspaper of the wedding lists him as being formerly of Nyack.
Attempts to locate additional information on Milton Kirkpatrick were fruitless except for one printout of members of the Nyack Baptist Church which lists both Maggie and Milton KIRK. A letter from the church states he was baptized 23 Mar 1884, and excluded 2 Jun 1891 for neglect of covenant obligation.
Milton Kirkpatrick married Cornelia Kruger at her residence 37 Randolph Avenue 24 June 1896. His occupation was a 'shirt cutter'. Family history had him working at Wragge Shirt Company in New York. Many family quilts and scraps attest to the scraps of shirt material.
Two children were born of this marriage: Harriet Rita, born 24 Jun 1898; Marguerite Louise, 11 Aug 1902. Both were born in East Rutherford, NJ.
Milton Kirkpatricksucc umbed to a pneumonia-like illness at his home 287 Randolph Avenue, 20 Jan 1923. He had been a resident of East Rutherford for 30 years, and was buried in Hillside Cemetary.
Milton Kirkpatrick's wife was Cornelia Garnier Kruger, daughter of Louis Kruger and Harriet Fitz Randolph.She was born in East Rutherford at the family home on Randolph Avenue. Her will dated 15 Nov. 1923 listed her residence as 287 Randolph Ave. and was signed by her brother Louis 283 Randolph Ave. Cornelia Kruger died at 187 Wood Street (home of daughter Harriet), Rutherford, NJ.at 57 years, 10 months. Her death 5 May 1933 was from Cerebral Apoplexy and Arterio schlerosis. Her birthdate listed on the death certificate was 1 july 1875. She was buried 8 May in Hillside Cemetery, Lyndhurst, NJ.¹

     Samuel Kirkpatrick was born at Ireland.¹ He married Maria DeWitt, daughter of Andries DeWitt and Bredgen Nottingham, on 28 October 1774.¹

     William Washington Kirkpatrick was born on 5 October 1822 at Newburgh, NY.^2,3 He married Emma L. Warner, daughter of Thomas V. W. Warner and Mary.¹ He died on 9 October 1894 at Nyack, Rockland County, NY, at age 72.^2,3 He was buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Nyack.¹
     He appeared on the census of 1850 at Nyack, Rockland County, NY. He was listed as 21 (probably an error) and a painter. His wife, Margaret was 22. Children were Charles, 4; Margaret, 2 and William 10 mos. (page 1, line 36).¹ He appeared on the census of 1860 at Nyack, NY. William is 37, a painter; wife Emma L. as 30; and children Charles, 14; William, 10; Alonzo, 8; Margaret, 2; and Mary 10 mos. He appeared on the census of 1870 at Nyack, NY. William KIRKPATRICK, age 47, head of the house, a painter, with wife Emma, age 41. Children listed are William, 20; Margaret, 12; Evaline, 9; Henry, 5 and Milton, age 10 months. address Gedney Street. He appeared on the census of 1880 at Nyack, NY. William is 57, a painter; Emma, 50; Margaret, 22, sewing machine operator; Mary 20; Eva, 19, Henry, 15; Milton 11; Grace, 5 and father-in-law Thomas Warner, age 78. The address of the family is Gedney Street, verified by a letter from a cousin stating the family lived on Gedney Street. Further, a map of the City of Nyack places the family home on Gedney Street (on the Hudson River) a little north of where High Street meets Gedney.      NOTE: Find-a-grave has 6 Jan 1892 as death date for both William and Emma!
     Land deeds list the residential property as being on Gedney Street. In 1875, the land had belonged to Margaret KIRKPATRICK and was bequeathed to Charles and William and their wives. The land was bounded by Gedney Street, the Hudson River, Hannah Coddington. Also, the gas company. The land was then deeded to Emma KIRKPATRICk in 1875 for $1050. In 1881, Thomas T. V. Warner deeded land to Emma L. KIRKPATRICK on the northerly side of Elm Street adjoining lands of John Doyle and Ann TenEyck. This land was eventually sold to Cornelia KIRKPATRICK in 1896 for $1.00.
     Information in the Nyack Library states that William KIRKPATRICK was born in Newburgh and had lived in Nyack for 53 years before his death in 1894. He was a painter and foreman for DD & T Smith. Lists sons as Charles, William, Henry and Milton. Charter member of Mazeppa and a lifelong Democrat who switched to Republican in the Blaine-Cleveland election. His Certificate of Death states he was 72 years, 5 days, born in Newburgh, son of George and Mary KIRKPATRICK. He died the 9th of October 1894 of a cerebral hemorrhage. His obituary states he died at his home on Gedney Street and had been sick for years with consumption. He was born in Newburgh, the last of ten children. Children listed as Charles and William (first wife); Mrs. C. Z Westervelt, Paterson; Mrs. W. R. Lewis; Henry, Milton, Margaret and Grace all of Nyack. He is buried in Oak Hill Cemetary, Nyack. His wife, Emma L. Warner, died 6 Jan 1892 and is also buried in Oak Hill.
     The book 'So that all May Remember' lists Emma L. Kirkpatrick (Warner) as being born 19 Oct 1829, died 6 Jan 1892 at 62 years, 2 months and 18 days. (Wife of William W.) Margaret, wife of William was born about 9 Nov 1827 and died 12 mar 1855 at age 27 years, 4 mos, 3 days. William W. KIRKPATRICK was born 5 Oct 1822, died 6 Jan 1892 at age 89 years, 3 mos, 1 day.
     While in New City June 1996, I found a Surrogate's paper on James Kilpatrick listing wife as Elizabeth (signed with an X). Children listed were Hiram, Eliza wife of William Allison, Mary wife of Patrick Hughes, James G Kilpatrick, Marquis Kilpatrick, Gilbert Kilpatrick and William Kilpatrick. Later, Catherine Kirkpatrick, widow of Gilbert Kirkpatrick, filed in Surrogate court naming the family as Catherine Margaret Kirkpatrick (widow), Elizabeth Kirkpatrick, Marquis Kirkpatrick in the town of Haverstraw, James Harvey Kirkpatrick and William Kirkpatrick in Nyack in said county of Rockland, Hiram Kirkpatrick who resides in New Jersey and Mary wife of Patrick Hughes who resides in the state of PA (Gilbert deceased 27 Sep 1848). Given that William Kirkpatrick's death certificate information was given by a friend, I believe William's father was James as stated in the legal paper. Bears looking into.
