Thomas Kirkpatrick

Thomas Kirkpatrick (December 25 1805 – March 26 1870) was a Canadian lawyer and political figure. He represented Frontenac in the 1st Canadian Parliament as a Conservative.

He was born in Clonsilla, Ireland in 1805 and came to Upper Canada in 1823. He studied law with Christopher Alexander Hagerman and was called to the bar in 1828. He practiced law at Kingston where he was also customs collector. In 1838, he was elected as the first mayor of Kingston, but was later disqualified because he was not a resident at the time; in 1847, he was elected mayor again. In 1846, he was named Queen's Counsel.

He died in Kingston in 1870 while still in office.

His son, George Airey, was elected to the same seat in the House of Commons after his father's death and was named lieutenant-governor of Ontario in 1892.
