This Patton name reminds me of something else that should be considered in these look-ups - 'Scuse me for buttin' in here - There were many James Pattons, I've found them over and over in Chalkley's, and you should remember at this period in history Augusta County covered many counties, many different areas of several states. Rev. Craig may have been the only Presbyterian minister within hundreds of miles. This was the era when the minister covered his church territory by horse holding services in different areas in different months. Even if he had a church he would do this, so to find these names in Rev. Craig's baptismal lists may not place these people in Augusta County. If you remember the story of Mary Ingles, an elderly James Patton was killed by the Indians who kidnapped her in 1755 in Montgomery County, west of Augusta. You should also consider that legal and church records can be found in Orange County for 1747, which was the parent county for Augusta. So, finding these names in these baptismal records is only the beginning for placing them in a given area. Just an additional idea to consider! We tend to forget how big Augusta was and which era we are talking about!
