Yvette, Do you have any idea where in Scotland your ancestors originated, and are you sure they spelt it PATTERSON and not PATERSON? Do you have any dates for your PATTERSONS? I thought I might have your James PATTERSON among my settlers, but you say Charles Frederick Watson was born ca. 1884. That would mean his mother was born - at the very latest - 1868. Was she born in Scotland? Have you found James & Jenny (probably Jane) in Scotland? Regards, Gail
