Patrick Napier & Frances Brumfield
family

(Last updated 15 May 2024)

Father

 		 Patrick Napier was born 19 Sep 1768 in Montgomery County, Virginia.  His father was Patrick Napier Sr. (c. 1725 - aft. 1799).   His sister may have been Catherine Daniel.

Patrick married Frances "Fanny" Brumfield on 9 June 1788 in Montgomery County, Virginia.

Patrick died 9 June 1834 in Harlan County, Kentucky.

Descendants of Andrew Mannon and his mother-in-law Margaret Lee have DNA matches to descendants of Patrick Napier.  Given that Margaret's mother Catherine was supposedly a Napier and Catherine and Patrick have similar ages this suggests they may have been siblings but this is unproven at the moment.
