Grandson, William (RIN 1250) and his son T. George McKitrick wrote a 4500 word treatise of the family's move from Ireland to Canada. It indicates as follows: "Eldest son, John, came first, but father, William died. (c-1815) The Mother then came with some of the family.(c-1818). The mother, George and William settled on the Gatineau River, Quebec. Patrick went to Ashton, Ontario, Robert went to Pakenham. It is said that a daughter also came, likely staying with the mother. Names of mother and daughter not known. It is not known if they ever found John. It is said that two sons were left in Ireland. These would be James RIN 1238) and one other?.

(The youngest, Patrick (RIN 885) is my wife's Grandfather.)
