Cornwall Kirkpatrick, son of Andrew and Anna Kirkpatrick, was born at
Fredericktown, Knox County, Ohio, December 23, 1814. His father being a
manufacturer of earthen ware, naturally led him to become interested and skilled
in the pottery business, to which he has devoted a good portion of his life. In
1840, he built a small potter in Covington, Kentucky; from 1849 to 1853,
conducted the "stoneware" business successfully at Point Pleasant, Ohio, where
he owned the house in which President Grant was born; from 1857 to 1859,
operated an extensive pottery, which he built, at Mound City, Illinois; since
1859 has built at Anna, Union County, a pottery establishment which manufactures
and ships over 10,000 gallons of stoneware per annum.
