>From _The History of Merrimack, New Hampshire, Vol. 1_ , Merrimack Historical Society, Merrimack, New Hampshire, 1976. I don't own this book, but have a few pages copied. In the PATTERSON genealogy, I've omitted the names of those most likely still living. I don't know what R.C. or L.R.C. means - Roman Catholic?
