To anyone, This is an email I sent to a lady who posted a query on the Patterson GenForum website. Here goes.... ********* Janet, Regarding this genforum posting: "Posted by Janet Oliver Haynes on June 06, 1998 at 09:57:40: I just downloaded all the information regarding William Patterson of Cross Creek, Washington Co., PA, who is a son of James Patterson (1708-1791) of Little Britain Twp., Lancaster Co., PA. I am interested in another son of James' who went to Ohio "late in life." His name was John Patterson, born about 1735 who married Eleanor Milligan and had children: Mary (1765), James, Martha, John, Hannah, Eleanor, William and Elizabeth. Does anyone know what part of Ohio John moved to? I believe he went between 1802 and 1810 and possibly went to live with one or more of his children already living in Ohio. Please leave a response in this column or write me directly at: Janet Haynes, 303 South Waterman Avenue, Arlington Heights, IL 60004-6843. The e-mail address is my sister's, but she will snailmail anything you wish to send. Thanks!" ********************* ....do you have any data regarding the ancestors of this James Patterson? Are you aware of any research done by a Leonardo Andrea in 1947 and 1955? In his compilations, he documented the John Patterson, Sr (b 1640) family (son, Robert, and Robert's 10 sons), who came to America in 1728 - NJ. By 1730, they were all over PA. Actually, 6 of Robert's 10 sons came in 1728, the other 4 came later with their families, one as late as 1760/62. Andrea also documented James Patterson of 1708, but he didn't link him with Robert. He never did get the full list of 10 sons' names, only had a couple. Just wondering if anyone can help me on this. Will be happy to share in more detail regarding the family that came over in 1728, or anything else he may have here. Thanks. I would like to thank Viola Jones for sharing this work of Leonardo Anrea with me, as well.
