I'm new to the listserv world, so I wanted to see if anyone has any data on the ancestors of "my" Pattersons. Here is a copy of a message I posted on the Patterson GenForum (http://www.genforum.com/patterson/)on 9-2-98.... >I have as far back as my g-g-g-g-grandfather, John Patterson, born March 18, 1766. May have been >born in SC, possibly north of SC? He married Margaret Black of SC ca. 1788, in SC. Their children >were Joseph (1789, SC), Amy Jane, dau., John, George (1800, NC-mine), Amos, Ann (unmarried), >Robert, Margaret "Peggy". Their kids were born from 1789 to 1817. Family moved from SC to old >Buncombe co., NC in 1790's, and then to north GA in the 1820's and 30's. John & Margaret died in >Union Co., GA in 1840's and 50's, resp. > >Am looking for the ancestors of John Patterson (1766). I know that we are Scotch-Irish. I don't know >whether our Pattersons came in through PA or SC. Family stories are pretty consistent about several >brothers coming over together in the mid 1700's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Our family >has been searching for years for this link.
