I am a descendant of William Patterson and his wife Lois Ackley and am trying find the correct connection to his parents. Most of what I have say he is the descendant of William and Anna Ufford Patterson from Andrew. Born in 1729/30. then I have some that say he is still from William and Anna but the birth date I have is for Feb 1760 with his marriage to Lois being 1787. I have the pensions file and other information from the DAR files but would like the find the correct parents. Please let me know if you can help. Thank you, Kim Childress

I'm seeking information on JOHN BONAPART(E) PATTERSON who married LOUISE (LULU) KERN. LOUISE had a daughter from a previous relationship but JOHN gave her his last name. The child was DOROTHY. JOHN and LOUISE had two more Children MARIE (MUTZIE) and VICTOR. VICTOR was born in St. Louis, MO in about 1914. All of the above mention lived and died in the St. Louis, MO area except DOROTHY who had moved to Texas. Does anyone have information about JOHN or his family?

Hello to all Patterson researchers, I wqould appreciate any information on this family that you would be willing to share. William Patterson b. 1841-1842 VA. Married Sarah (possibly Richards) abt 1968 Children Lena b. 1878, Emma b.1869, John b. 1872-1874 Ewell Thomas Patterson(my grandfather) b.Sept. 1881 d. Jan.14, 1937 in Louisville KY. Any help would be appreciated very much. Barbara Patterson Lee

John was born Aug 1857. He married Mary Ellen Benshoff.The 1900 Osage Co. Ks. Census says he was born in Scotland. All of their children were born in Ks.Thank you,Walter

Hi All, Recently found out that Martin Derious Patterson my grtgrdfather (and our brick wall) was orphaned at a very young age and raised by his older sister-Ansy Patterson. "Ansy" may be a nickname but for what we don't know. We also found out that Martin was never completely sure of how old he was so the dob we have of 1845 may not be correct. We have no dates for Ansy but we do know she married a Dunn in FL. It is almost certain that this Patterson line originated in GA-then went to TX ,met up with the Perkins family (Martin later married Catherine (Carrie) Perkins Stone a widow from TX with one daughter named Laura in 1866) and then on to FL (Alachua and then Pinellas/Hillsborgh)around 1860 or earlier. Does anyone have a Patterson couple that died young and left children behind? there may have been other siblings too. Or a Patterson family that was raising a Martin (around 5 yrs old) and older sister? Thanks for anything you can come up with.

Carol Thanks to you and to everyone else who responded to my original post. It turns out I had a cousin on the list, and her and I have been talking for the past week or so. She and another cousin have already done a lot of the work on our Pattersons. As for Hannah Gipson, I don't recall seeing that name in my line, but I'll go back and look. A cousin of mine has traced our Gipsons back as far as the mid eighteenth century. The moved from Virginia to Madison County Alabama in the early nineteenth century and have lived in either Jackson or Madison county (they are next to each other in northern Alabama) ever since. The Gipsons connected to my Patterson line because like many southerners my grandparents went to Indiana in search of employment, and while the family was in Indiana my mom and dad met, and I was the result. Anyway, I'll check for a Hannah. Take care, Frank

I too have an Irish Patterson who I believe was originally from Scotland. She's an Anne Patterson married to William Hugh Graham and they lived near Ballymena, Co. Antrim but I cant' get any further than this. Bette Carol Williams wrote: > Hi Frank, I too am searching the name Patterson, my James Patterson came > from Ulster by way of Scotland.

Oddly enough, I have a GIBSON in my PATTERSON tree, too! Keziah Gibson m. Tilman Patterson in KY - Knox, Bell, Harlan Co? Keziah was the daughter of Major Gibson. Major and his wife ended up with three of Keziah and Tilman's children living with them in the 1850 or 1860 census - I'm not sure where the parents were (yet!). >>> "Carol Williams" <fariscope@hotmail.com> 04/18/01 09:44AM >>> Hi Frank, I too am searching the name Patterson, my James Patterson came from Ulster by way of Scotland.

Hello list, found this on http://www.unclaimedpersons.com . Maybe someone may know of this Patterson? please contact Inv. Doyle TOLBERT, Los Angeles Co.

After just reading the post that John Patterson put on today I am just wondering if anyone on this list has any input on a Nancy Patterson who had a son named James, two daughters Sally and Susan, Steven Patterson. As of 1850 this family lived in Lincoln County, Tn but Nancy is living with daughter Susan and husband, George Kirkland. So I have no idea who Nancy's husband is. Would like any help from any of my fellow researchers who have also encountered this brick wall. I have been at this one so long it seems I will never get past it. Nancy's husband would have been born around 1799 which is when Nancy was born in NC according to the Census records. I do not know who Nancy was before she married. I also do not know who Marthy who married James was before she married. So about all I have been able to uncover is questions. Can someone help me? I notice, John, that you have a Nancy in your post today. However it seems that this Nancy would be a little bit too young for the Nancy I am looking for. I have been told she was an Ortridge. However have absolutely no proof. Thanks so much.

Vinson, Thanks for taking the time to write. My Robert (and family) b. 1749 Scotland/Ulster; m. Elizabeth Patterson; e. from Ulster to PA 1795-98; d. 1829 Brooke County, WVA (then Virginia). His children are William, Robert, Sarah, Elizabeth, James and Alexander. My William Patterson b. 1818 d. 1879 m. Nancy McCready from Cross Creek, PA. William Patterson purchased 2 farms in Brooke County 1845 & 1857. Buried next to Robert and family, but I don't know the relationship (not son or grandson). It seems most of the early Pattersons are related by connections in Northern Ireland (actually Ulster which includes County Donegal); although some Paterson/Pattersons from Scotland are also very close; and many went from Philadelphia/Baltimore to NC and SC then to Kentucky and Ohio. Others went to Lancaster, PA; Washington, PA; Brooke County/Ohio County, VA/WVA and on to Ohio. So you will often find Ohio Pattersons realted along both lines.

I have a contact in Lincoln, N.C. who has been doing some research on my James Patterson line. The dates for your William is newer than in the documents I have researched, so I know it isn't him. BUT in researching these land records I have come across a WILLIAM, ALEXANDER, ROBERT (I think there are two different ones) and JOHN SR. that I have no idea of how they relate to my James Patterson. You can go to http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?MS::patterson::3685.html to see the history as far back as I know it. The land records are from 1770 to 1777 in Tyron Co., NC. I don't know if there is any relationship but your names caught my eye especially since it is believed that our Patterson line came from PA. I would like to see the dates you have for James, Alexander and Robert. I believe that one of the Roberts in the land records died about 1766-67 but I find another Robert (I think his son) as late as 1777 in NC. Did any of these ever live in NC? Thanks, Vinson L.

The message below is one that I sent to a Patterson Family Researcher following my study at the Brooke County Circuit Court, Wellsburg, West Virginia. I will be happy to send a copy my notes (discussed below) if you would like to contact me. And.... I would sincerly appreciate any inputs concerning the queries below. Happy Easter, John Patterson Great Bridge, VA ----- Original Message ----- John, As you know I have been looking for the parents and siblings of William Patterson (1818-1879) who married Nancy McCready (daughter of David McCready and granddaughter of Robert McCready of Cross Creek, PA). William is buried at St. John's cemetery in Brooke County next to Robert Patterson (1749-1829) and his family including Robert's wife Elizabeth, daughter Elizabeth and sons James and Alexander. William apparently worked the farm of James Patterson, survivor of all the Robert Patterson line. James inherited Robert's farm with his brother Alexander Patterson, received Alexander's portion upon Alexander's death and quit claims by his siblings William, Robert and Sarah (Hines) living in Ohio. He also owned a farm that he (James) purchased and one that his brother, Alexander, purchased. When James died intestate in January 1867 it seems that William might have received the entire estate had there been a will, but since there was none, and since William was not a legal heir to the estate, the descendants of James' siblings received the funds resulting from the sale of James Patterson's personal goods and property. William Patterson was the executor (special commissioner) of the James Patterson estate which implies further closeness. I also found that William built a house on 32 acres that appear to have been part of James Patterson's farm (my calculations of the sale of the Patterson estate indicated that there was about 32 acres missing from the total farm area). William also, soon after marrying Nancy McCready, purchased a farm in Brooke County (which we in the family call the "Upper Farm") from David and Mary Johnston for $4,800. I considered that the funds for this purchase might have come from the McCready family, but now believe that the money was given to William Patterson by James Patterson (relationship still unknown) as well as the 32 acres that William built his first home on in 1841 (he married Nancy abt 1838). William and Nancy later purchased a second farm (the Lower Farm) from John Hendricks' heirs at a sheriff's sale in 1855/1857 for $5700. This is the farm that I grew up on and is still owned by my mother. I had studied the estate records (which we reviewed together earlier) but was unable to locate the final resolution of the estate sale until my visit to Brooke County last week. I thought that records might be in the Brooke County Court Orders (as they were not in the Deed, Estate or Will Books) but found that there are also "Chancery Minutes". So with the help of the court clerk I found the settlements and much more (attached). When you have the time could you review the attached transcript and let me know what you think about the following: 1. Most exciting, I found the Naturalization Record of Robert Patterson that I am sure is our Robert. It is on 26 June 1809. Earlier I forwarded Naturalizations of James and Robert Patterson (7 October 1803) that I had received from Ms. Gwendolyn Hubbard and included in the transcript. But this new Naturalization Record occurs the same day that Robert Patterson purchased his farm from the Greathouse heirs! 2. On 29 August 1800 there is mention of Arthur Patterson. There is also a naturalization record for Arthur Patterson one month after the resolution of Robert Patterson's naturalization and property purchase. I have no records mentioning an Arthur in Brooke County and he does not appear in any of the Census records. Could this have been a brother of Robert? 3. In the chancery minutes there is a conclusive record of the names of the children and grandchildren of William, Robert and Sarah Hines. This should be useful. 4. The Chancery Record of 21 December 1870 shows one farm of James Patterson (the Atkinson Farm) being sold to John McKim but also to Alexander W. Patterson. The deed for this land states the property was to John McKim (who worked on Robert Patterson's farm and owed rent upon Robert's death). But the deed did not mention Alexander W. Patterson. This may be the devisee (son?) of William Patterson mentioned 21 April 1871. 5. The court records that I located do not mention the sale of the first farm to Samuel Cleland on November 2, 1870 for $10,680.75, but it is further confused by the fact that Robert and Mary Patterson first purchased the farm (which appears to have been approved by the court on November 24, 1868) and then sold it for nearly the same price to Samuel Cleland upon conclusion of the chancery orders . 6. All the chancery documents appear as suits between Robert Patterson et.al. vs John Patterson et. al. But there is no mention of a dispute and it appears that they were filed as a means of addressing the estate actions to the court. My William had sons Robert and John, but there is also Robert (and wife Mary) and John as sons of Robert2. So the heritage of William Patterson (my great great grandfather) is still a mystery. My current research indicates the following: - He is not a descendant of the William Patterson family of Cross Creek who migrated from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. - He is not a descendant of John and Jane Patterson of Bucks County whose descendants Robert and Josiah migrated to Smith Township, Burgettstown, PA. - He may be a descendant of John and Jane/Jean (Scott) Patterson of Bethel Ridge, Eldersville, PA (brother of James Patterson and Sarah Givens, also of Bethel Ridge Methodist Church). The other Patterson buried at St. John's graveyard is Francis Patterson (wife Annis Porter Scott) is a son of the John and Jean. But I have not been able to identify correctly the descendants of John and Jean even though the family of his brother (James) is fairly well document and includes Hugh Patterson of Burgetttown, PA. - He may be a son or grandson of the new unknown Arthur Patterson (mentioned above). - He may be a descendant one of the other Pattersons listed in the Brooke County 1810 Census: Samuel & Hettie, James & Jean, John & Rebecca, and our Robert and Elizabeth Patterson. In any case, this close relationship of William Patterson to James Patterson implies a close relationship of Robert Patterson (b. 1749 in Ulster) and the unknown father of my William. So each time I do research I learn more about all the Pattersons except mine! Don't forget the attachment (the main point of this email). Any help sincerely appreciated. John Patterson

Hi! I am new to this list. I have lots of information I am looking for on my Patterson side of the family. I am searching for information on Tilman Patterson b. c. 1810 KY and a person who was possibly his brother, Skelton Patterson, b. c. 1823. Also Tilman Patterson's son, Skelton Patterson, (son of Tilman Patterson and Keziah Gibson), who was born c. 1844/45. Tilman and Keziah had several other children: Major b. 1837 (Major was Keziah's father's name) Martha b. 1839 Henry b. 1840 (Ken Bennett's gggrandfather!) David b. 1842 America b. 1841 Juditih b. 1849 Need: the names of Tilman Patterson's parents and any siblings. the name of Skelton Patterson's (b. 1844) first wife - he married a woman named Polly (who was 1/2 his age) later in life in Bell Co. Kentucky (Pineville), but my great-grandmother, Mary Lucinda Elizabeth Patterson, was the daughter of Skelton and his first wife of whom I can find no trace. M.L. Elizabeth Patterson married Jack Walsh in Pineville, KY in 1895. I have no idea if Lizzie's mother was still living at this time. Skelton is still living around Pineville in 1900 census with Jack and Lizzie living next door. His other children were (I have no idea who each of them's mother was)according to the 1910 census: John b. 1892 Sarah b. 1894 McKinley b. 1898 Myrtle b. 1903 Sudie b. 1906 also living w/them in 1900 was "Dav Brummet stepson age 9" b. 1891? - so Polly was a Brummet at some time maybe? Any information on any of the above would be appreciated. Sorry for such a long post my first time out! Mary K. Becker
