Jacob Dean Kirkpatrick was the second child of James Whitfield and Rachel (Burge) Kirkpatrick. He was born 3 August 1856 in Goodhue County, Minnesota. On 1 January 1882 he married Anna Jane Orr in Black Hawk township, Jefferson County, Iowa. She was the daughter of James and Eleanor (McCutchen) Orr and was born 11 August 1861 near Harrisburg in Perry County, Pennsylvania. Her parents were natives of County Tyrone in Ireland. Kirkpatrick was a farmer at the time of his marriage.

In 1892 the family removed to California and settled in Ontario, San Bernardino County. There Jacob bought a dairy ranch of thirty acres which he operated for nearly thirty years. Jacob served for a number of years as a Superintendent of Streets in Ontario, and is described in the 'History of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, California', as "...a loyal democrat and a public spirited citizen." He belonged to the Methodist Church and was a member of the Woodmen of the World fraternal organization. He was also a charter member of the George Strong Post, Sons of Veterans, Brighton, Iowa. Anna Kirkpatrick was a member of the Women's Relief Corps. There were four (4) children born of the marriage. We show 5. Jacob, his wife, daughter Florence and grandson Arthur D. Sanborn are on the 1920 U. S. Census of Ontario, San Bernardino Co., California.
