Synopsis:

Chalkey's History has several records of Robert CUNNINGHAM in August Co in his capacity as an attorney. He received a land Grant, was witness to several land transactions, wills, and received 5 shares of his father-in-law's estate in May-Aug 1767 upon his father-in-law's death. That his father-in-law, Charles KILPATRICK, had a plantation in Augusta County which was left to his son, Alexander, and that Robert was living in August Co throughout the the 1750's-1760's, leads me to believe that Martha likely died in August Co, VA rather than in Franklin Co, GA unless she was visiting a child there and I've found no mention of other children at this point. Nor do I have any evidence other than someone else's statement, that she died in GA. So it's completely up in the air for me with a stronger possibility of VA than GA. I also find it somewhat suspect that Robert died in 1767 since he was still active in Aug 1767 at the time his father-in-law's will was probated. So stay tuned. Lots of Robert CUNNINGHAMs and not a lot of information.
Charles KILPATRICK's will was probated on 19 May 1767 and proved on 18 Aug 1767 in Augusta Co, VA. He left the following heirs: Sons-in-law: Robert CUNNINGHAM, 5 shares and Jonathan HOGSHEAD, 5 shares; son Roger KILPATRICK, 5 shares; son Alexander KILPATRICK, plantation; wife Elizabeth; daughter Elizabeth.
