William Kirkpatrick (New York politician)

William Kirkpatrick (November 7, 1769 - September 2, 1832) was a United States Representative from New York.

Kirkpatrick was born in Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey (near Zion), he graduated from Princeton College in 1788, studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and commenced practice in Whitestown, Oneida County, New York in 1795. He moved to Salina (now a part of Syracuse), Onondaga County in 1806 and continued the practice of medicine. He subsequently became superintendent of the Onondaga Salt Springs, and was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the 10th United States Congress, holding office from March 4, 1807 to March 3, 1809. He was again superintendent of the Onondaga Salt Springs from 1810 to 1831, and died in Salina in 1832. Interment in Oakwood Cemetery, Syracuse.

The Journal of the House of Representatives provides a summary account of the business of the House for each day that it was in session including bills introduced, measures debated and votes, both voice and roll call, on legislative bills. The Journals are full-text searchable, each volume also has a comprehensive index which includes a full index of the actions on each introduced bill by bill number. To conduct a search of this title go tothe inquiries screen at:

< http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/hlawquery.html >

Next, use the pull down menus to select the congress (10th), session (1st or 2nd, you will have to conduct two such searches), chamber (House of Representatives) and title (House Journal). Then type your query. Searching for Kirkpatrick's name in the Journal for the 1st session of the 10th Congress yields 63 hits.

The Annals of Congress (Annals) provide more detail about the actual discussion on the floor of the House, but speeches in the Annals are not verbatim accounts. Since most of text in the Annals cannot be searched (only the index can be searched) a link has been provided from pages located through the searching the House Journal. However, using this approach it is not likely that you will find all the speeches by Mr. Kirkpatrick that may have been recorded. Instead you would have to scan each volume of the Annals during his tenure (volumes 17 through 19 of the Annals).
