I am looking for the parents and family of Mary G Patterson. I have posted a request before and thank you for the inquiries. This is everything I have on Mary and I did not have all this together last time. Thanks for your patience, Vickie in Okla Mary G Patterson Born: 30 Oct 1818 Place: Ohio Married: 18 Jan 1838 Place: Preble, Ohio Died: 31 July 1914 Place: Cypress Township, Harrison , Missouri She married: Samuel Sutton, son of George Sutton b 1785 & Hannah Gard b1789 who married in Uniontown, Fayette, PA After she married Samuel Sutton in Ohio, she had all 7 children all born in Preble, Ohio maybe Dixon Twp is listed as the birth place for two of the 7. Samuel and Mary G. Patterson Sutton and all the children ended up in Harrison County, Missouri. In the townships of Bethany and Cypress. I have two pictures of her at age 88 yrs. She was a very small very wrinkled woman always with a shawl pulled over her hair. Also a picture of someone that says "Grandmother Patterson" that I think is her mother. The woman in this picture looks like a big boned woman, with long arms and large hands, and her face is long in shape. I also have a picture that says "Cousin Andy Patterson" at middle age and I think a young picture of him in a civil war uniform. I am checking the civil war muster list for him. I also have this obit on Mary G Patterson's husband, Samuel Sutton ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Obituary - Samuel Sutton - 1906 - Original newspaper article Samuel Sutton was born in Butler (the corner of newspaper is torn off), Jan 6, 1816, and died at his home in Cypress township, Jan 19, 1906, aged 90 years and 13 days. He was taken when a small infant about 1 year old to Preble county, Ohio, where she grew to manhood, and took as his life partner to share his trials Mary G. Palluson (msp. should be Patterson) Jan 18,1838, who still survives him. Theirs was indeed a long eventful life which they lived together as man and wife, 68 years and 1 day. To this union were born 4 boys and two girls. One son and 1 daughter preceded him to the Great Beyond, both having lived to manhood and womanhood. The rest of the children all live not far from the old homestead. There are 15 grandchildren, 22 great grand children and 1 great great grand child, making the fifth generation. When 24 years old he cast his first presidential vote for the Whig candidate, William Henry Harrison and was always loyal from that time to the Republican party to the time of his death, having cast his last vote for Roosevelt in 1904. He was elected Justice of the Peace of Cypress township and filled the office for 16 consecutive years. He was also postmaster for 10 or 11 years and took great pleasure in being one of, if not the oldest postmaster in the United States. About two years ago he received a fall, which caused a fracture of the arm, and although he recovered the use of his arm he could not write very well, so this caused him to have to resign the office of postmaster, but he still continued to enjoy his paper, having received the gift of second eyesight and was able to read without having to wear glasses. "Uncle Sammy", as everyone called him, came to Harrison County in 1865, about the close of the Civil War. He lived on the same place until the time of his death. Though not confined to his bed he had been in quite poor health for some time, and about 13 years ago his daughter and her husband (Mr. And Mrs. Robert Ellis) came back to take care of her father and mother during their declining days. He was always cheerful and pleasant and during his last sickness he was surrounded by children and grandchildren and an aged sister and brother, to administer to his last earthly wants. He will be greatly missed from his favorite chair by children and grand children, but by none as, much as his aged companion and his devoted daughter Mrs. Ellis, who were always ready and willing to wait on "father". Funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Smiley, assisted by Rev. Mitchell at Pleasant Ridge church to a large gathering of relatives and friends. The remains were laid to rest in Pleasant Ridge cemetery. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
