D. I don't quite know how/when he came to Illinois. I had originally started on my maternal side of Patten, and kept tripping up on the Gorham side. Did you hear of a marriage between a Gorham and a Patten in your family? If so, it would be a cousin (????) Have you tried Minooka's Three River Library for any info?
