My wife's GGrandfather James Patt was born in Holland on 3/20/1852. He emigrated to the USA in 1856. He married Ellen Pitt who had emigrated from England in 1856. They settled in Brighton, Monroe County, New York, later moving to West Webster, Monroe County, New York, where James died in 1940. We are looking for any information on James Patt's parents and family. We were told by my wife's father that James Patt's surname may have been changed from some earlier surname due to a family fight. James Patt first appears in the 1880 Federal Census along with his wife and 2 children. We have reviewed church and cemetery records to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
