hi everyone, I am bring up the topic of the pattons again only because I will be going home this weekend to somerset county, pa. if anyone has any information on the pattons, please let me know. this is what I have so far: Urias Patton (1841/1851 MD - aft 1930 PA) married Mary Platter (b. 16 Jun 1844 MD) on 18 Nov 1871. Mary Platter was previously married to a Jacob Seibert and had two children with him. Urias and Mary had 6 children and lived in the Accident area. The children are Emma, Charles, John, Isabelle, Annie, Mae. John is my great great grandfather. He was born abt 1877 and married Arminta (Minnie) Kolbfleisch (b.abt 1880) of the Cove, MD and supposively she is buried at the Lutheran Church in the Cove. John died before 1920 and rumor has it he was murdered when he was working at the mines. Not really sure which mines though. John and Minnie had seven children all of which was born in MD. The children are as follows: Phenice(sp), Emma, Richard, Curtis, Robert, Bertha, Nellie. Phenice is my great grandfather and he moved to PA to Summit Township where he married Grace Hostetler. Not sure when Minnie died but in 1920 the census showed Emma and Robert living with their Grandmother Elizabeth Kolbfleisch so I have no idea where the other children are or what happened to Minnie. any help on this would be so greatly appreciated. I can't find anything out about Urias if that is even his real name. I am beginning to wonder. all I know is that the census shows his father was born in Pa and mother born in MD. thanks, Crystal __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
