Hello Group, I am researching Francis Patterson, father of Col. Robert Patterson, of Bedford/Cumberland counties. Robert was one of the founders of Lexington KY. Francis remained in PA until about 1787, when the family migrated to the claims in Lexington. I have seen much information in KY about Robert, for obvious reasons and very little about his family. Specifically, my interest is in his younger half brother William. William and Robert were partners in KY and worked together to make the KY claims ready for the rest of the family. I suspect William is a direct ancestor, as he is in the same areas of KY as my ancestor Jonathan Patterson. I have read Conover's book, "Concerning the Forefathers" and I am looking for new material on this subject. Any help or dialog on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Robert L. Patterson, Jr. Robs
