Posted on: BaltimoreCity County Md. Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Md/BaltimoreCity/3214 Surname: ------------------------- As I recall, the Patterson family was a leading Baltimore family in the 1800's. One of the daughters married a brother of Napolean Bonapart, had a child, sailed for France, was stopped off shore, marriage annulled extralegally by Napolean himself. Son and grandson lived in Baltimore Co till thier deaths, possibly w/ downtown houses too. Paterson Park is named after the Mr Patterson (I don't recall 1st names) There should be a lot available on this family. Try Balto Historical Society.
