Hi Listers, Have noticed lately a few posts for PATERSON. I could sure use some help in finding where my PATERSON's come from. I do have dates and names but no places of birth, death, etc., all the way back to my gggggrandparents. Hope someone can lead/steer me in the right direction. By the way, my ancestors (the one's that I do know) come from Iowa. David PATERSON b. Sep 1775 m. 8 Jul 1796 to Cirston JAMESON b. 18 Feb 1778 Children of this union: Duncan b. 7 Jul 1797 David b. 2 May 1799 Margaret b. 6 May 1801 Betsey b. 15 Sep 1803 William b. 16 Mar 1806 Robert b. 17 Nov 1808 Thomas b. 23 Feb 1810 Duncan b. 12 Apr 1812 Christian b. 30 Jul 1815 John b. 11 Nov 1816-1818 Walter b. 26 Nov 1819 James b. 23 Apr 1822 (my ggggrandfather) d. 16 Oct 1888 James married 31 July 1843 to Jane BRYCE b. 19 Jan 1822 d. 17 Jul 1861 Children of this union: Christina b. 18 Jun 1843 Margaret (1st) b. 17 Mar 1845 Margaret (2nd) b. 2 Mar 1847 David b. 30 Jun 1849 (my gggrandfather) d. 4 Jun 1928 James b. 6 Aug 1851 Grace b. 27 May 1854 Agnes b. 14 Jun 1857 David married in 1872 Agnes WILSON b. 3 Sep 1854 d. 27 Aug 1919 Children of this union: James b. 21 Aug 1873 d. 14 Dec 1957 Elizabeth b. 21 Aug 1873 d. 14 May 1937 Jane b. 30 Dec 1874 d. 17 Feb 1903 William b. 13 Dec 1876 d. 13 Jul 1930 Christina b. 11 Nov 1878 d. 17 Feb 1945 Agnes b. 6 Sep 1881 d. 25 Jun 1907 Margaret b. 2 Apr 1883 d. 11 Jun 1961 David b. 5 Mar 1885 d. 18 Mar 1885 Isabell b. 18 1887 (my ggrandmother) d. 23 Jan 1962 Grace b. 23 Aug 1890 David b. 16 Mar 1894 d. 16 Mar 1894 Annie b. 18 Feb 1897 Well, that's them. I have always been told that they were Scottish. I do believe that some died here in the US/Iowa. So if there is anyone that recognizes my "family", I would appreciate hearing from you.
