Jane Patterson, it is not documented that William was her father although it is quite probable. I would also suggest that the William Patterson d. 1745 most likely would have been the brother of Jane Patterson m. Samuel Carson rather than her father. Samuel Carson remarried in 1757. Last son of Samuel and Jane was Francis b. 1744. Is there any indication of the age of the William Patterson d. 1745? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
