VA. ON FARMS IN THE BEVERLY MANOR AREA. BY THE TIME MARY MARTHA PATTERSON MARRIED JAMES CRAIG THEY WERE IN INDIANA, THEN IOWA, THEN MISSOURI. I AM A NATIVE OF MISSOURI. MY 2G GRANDMOTHER CONTINUED TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH HER RELATIVES IN VA, AND TRAVELED TO VISIT THEM AT LEAST ONE TIME. MY GUESS IS THAT SAMUEL PATTERSON WAS NOT BORN IN VA. I HAVE A BOOK THAT BELONGED TO WILLIAM PATTERSON WHICH HE SIGNED IN THE FRONT COVER WITH THE DATE 1810. I HAVE USED BORDON MANOR IN A COUPLE OF NOTES WHERE I MEANT BEVERLY MANOR. REGARDS, ERNEST
