As the author of the Patton book I wish to have things correct. In fact earlier editions had Joseph's parents wrong, but recent editions have corrected his relationship to Nancy Patton -Osborn-Roberts-Lawson. The book is now in an 11th edition, thanks to many relatives contributing new and revised information. Can you tell me anything about Joseph M Patton's children? I only know what is in his 1943 obituary. Do you have a marriage date for Nancy and Squire Lawson? I have searched in vain. Thanks and best wishes- David
