Was just reading over said William Patterson's 1745 will. In it he mentions seven children: Sons Samuell, Frances [Francis], and Robert, and daughters Ann Patterson, Caytron [Catherine] McNitt, Jayn [Jane] TAYLOR, and Marey [Mary] Elder. No wife or other children were named or mentioned in William's will. An Arthur Patterson (possibly a relative) was a witness. The will was dated 23 Sep 1745 and proved on 22 Oct 1745. Executors named were Robert Taylor (son-in-law possibly) and Robert Baker. Witnesses were Robt. Harris, Arthur Patterson, & William McCluer [McClure?]. So unless someone found documentation that this Jayn married a second time after her Taylor marriage, then who was Samuel Carson's first wife?
