Does anyone know what the "B" stands for in Joseph Patterson's name? He and his son were both in Union Co., Ga in 1850. The Sr lived from 1789 to 1860's, and the Jr was born ca 1811-1815. I know Keith Townson and Dennis Patterson and many others descend from Joseph Sr. The reason I'm asking is because I wonder if it was "Bunyan"? Joseph Sr's brother George Patterson, born 1800, was my g-g-g-grandfather. By his second wife, he had a son he named George B. Patterson, born ca 1855 in Union Co., Ga. But George (1800) also had a grandson through his first wife named George Bunyan Patterson, born 6-6-1881. My point is that all the "B"s I've seen in George's line has seemed to stand for Bunyan, and it made me wonder if maybe the name Bunyan was passed down through Joseph's lines any? Just a thought......
