John Patterson, son of above mentioned Duncan Patterson, born about 1756 in NC. Duncan Patterson, son of above mentioned John Patterson, born Sept. 26, 1782, Harnett Co., NC, died Oct. 24, 1864, Cumberland Co., NC, married Mary Buie on March 4, 1808 in Cumberland Co., then married Flora Munn. I'm a descendent of Duncan Patterson and Mary Buie's son, Neill Patterson, who married Margaret Ann Elizabeth McLean. Both are buried at Union Church Cemetery, Moore County, NC. If there is addtional information on these families, I would be interested in purchasing the book. Just wanted to check beforehand.
