Jim, Below is your posting on the Patterson Genforum at http://www.genforum.com/patterson/messages/633.html . Is this the same William Patterson that arrived around 1760-62, with 7 sons and 1 daughter? I have a listing about the William I just described, and he was possibly the same William that was the son of Robert who came into NJ in 1727/28. Is that the same Robert that you're referring to? The info I have came from a work that was compiled by a Leonardo Andrea in 1947, and reworked slightly in 1955. I look forward to your response. I have copied the Patterson List serv on this as I have posted some related queries. Thanks. Wes Patterson "Posted by James D. Trabue on September 17, 1998 at 11:34:37: William Patterson d. in Berkeley Co., Va. in or about 1782. He is supposed to be the son of Robert Patterson who was in New Jersey. His sister was supposed to be Mary Patterson who married John Park. I understand the data came from a published work, but have been unable to locate it. Can anyone help?
