Hello list, I am researching my paternal line. I have found my 3rd great grandfather, Jonathan Patterson in Spencer and Muhlenberg Counties. Perrin lists his father as William. His mother is not named but, it has been suggested that it may have been Lucy Mangum. I have found research notes to that effect at the Bullitt Co. KY site, under the "Quicknotes". This source also suggests Shelby Co. as his residence. He and his wife appear to be deceased before the Jan 1812 wedding of Sally Patterson to Thomas Cook, in Shelby Co., KY. My interest is now focused on the half brother of Col. Robert Patterson, of Lexington, William Patterson. Charlotte Reeve Conover wrote much on these two brothers. Is anyone on this list familiar with Robert's family? I have read that Robert's half brother William also lived in Shelby Co. In fact, there are two Williams in the 1810 Shelby Co. census. Robert's information seems to be spread all over the place. Besides Wright State University, I have read that some of his papers were given to Lyman Draper, for his work and not returned. Does anyone know about this material? I think it may be more specific to Robert and William's KY ventures. Thanks in advance, -- Robs
