Patterson Settlement was on the Sabinal River six miles south of Sabinal in southeastern Uvalde County. It was founded by and named for G. W. Patterson, Sr., who brought his family homesteading from Alabama to Texas in 1847. The Patterson family arrived in the Sabinal Canyon in 1851 after a stay in East Texas. Shortly after arriving at the site Patterson preempted 160 acres and purchased additional, then built a rock house on the banks of the Sabinal River with the use of slave labor. John Leakey, who later founded Leakey, and A. B. Dillard, who helped found Leona Ditch, may have been among the original settlers of Patterson Settlement. A schoolhouse constructed in the late 1850s was also used for church services. Methodist minister H. G. Horton, who preached at the schoolhouse in 1858, recalled that all corners of the building were stacked with rifles and shotguns and that everyone attendingthe service came armed with pistols. The settlement was abandoned during the Civil War,qv when Indian depredations became more frequent. Many of those people who abandoned the community during the war returned soon after its conclusion. At a time when Uvalde was notorious for lawlessness, a young Uvaldean staying at Patterson Settlement in 1870 remembers that the community was peaceful except for the constant worry over Indian attacks. Patterson Settlement appears to have been abandoned shortly thereafter; no record of its continuation after 1870 is available. A historical plaque was placed at the original stone home of G. W. Patterson in 1965. The Brown Cemetery, probably named for either William A. Brown or Joseph G. Brown, who owned property at the Patterson Settlement site in 1915, was shown on maps of 1988. BIBLIOGRAPHY: A Proud Heritage: A History of Uvalde County (Uvalde,tx El Progreso Club, 1975).Ruben E. Ochoa Hi Judy All I know is that William B. Patterson married my ggg aunt Cassandra Arnold Sutherland in Montgomery Co. TX after her first husband, Walter Sutherland died. I don't know where he came from, but he was the Justice of the Peace in Montgomery Co. TX before the 1840's. He and Cassie and her family (and I don't know who else) left Montgomery/Grimes County area by about 1843, going to Medina Co. TX, wher William B. Patterson died of smallpox in 1848. Since your Pattersons came from St. Augustine Co., you might want to check out the Patterson Ferry that was on the Sabine River north of the Gaines Ferry back before the TX Revolution. I haven't been able to find out anything about it via the Net, but I saw it on an old map of Texas before 1836. It was close to the Gaines Ferry - I'd say within 30 miles just by looking at that map. I did inquire about it, and was told to check out the Patterson family that lived on the east side of the Sabine River In LA - I think the parish over there is Sabine also. I'm sorry I don't have more info for you, but perhaps the above will give you a clue. Joanne Hi Judy Can't remember if I replied or not. I don't have a lot on the Pattersons. Just know that Wm. B. Patterson married my ggg aunt Cassandra Arnold in Montgomery Co. ca 1838. The family went to Medina Co. where Wm. B., died in 1848 or 9 if smallpox. They had some kids, or at least one. . Cassie's brothers Hendrick and Holly Arnold and their grandmother got land grants in Bandera Co. after the Mexican War of 1846. I found an early map of TX on the Ancestry.com website, and it showed a Patterson Ferry on the Sabine River north of Gaines Ferry. The two ferries don't look like they are that far apart - I'd judge less than 20 miles if I had to call it. I inquired around and was told to check the Pattersons in Sabine Parish, LA which is directly opposite of Sabine and Shelby Cos. TX. I never did find out anything I wanted to know, but you might since your Pattersons were later, as were the ones I found out about from that area. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- To: PATTERSON-L@rootsweb.com Hello everyone, I have a Francis Marion Patterson to add to the list.
