Fellow researchers, I recently received the type of information that most of us dream of; the information to complete my U.S. family line and a clear date for the immigration of our oldest ancestor. >>>Seeking information about origin, parents and family of Robert and Elizabeth Patterson, cousins and Presbyterians, who married and e. to US in 1793 with first 3 children, William, Robert and Sarah.<<< The four Pattersons in the 1810 census (below) may be brothers or cousins.
