I am looking for information on JAMES W. PATTERSON, son of Thomas H. Patterson. James was born in New York ca. 1853. He migrated to Joliet, Illinois with his parents sometime before he married Hattie A. Strickland there on 10/18/1876. His biography in a 1878 history of Will County, Illinois, states that he was a coal trader. James W. and his wife are not buried in either the Strickland or Patterson family plots at the old Oakwood Cemetary in Joliet, although the could be there elsewhere or in an different cemetery in the Joliet or the world for that matter. However, their first child (and only child so far as I am aware), Claire Maria Patterson died in 1878 at 10 mos. and is buried in the Strickland family plot in Joliet. Gray Strickland Tulsa, OK
