I have (admittedly from internet sources so would like your input) Col. James Patton as son of Henry & Sarah Lynn Patton. Sarah was the sister of Wm Lynn (married Margaret Patton either 1st or 2cd cousin to Henry Patton) whose daughter Margaret m John Lewis. Other children of Henry & Sarah Patton: Robert b 1685 Donegal, Ireland d 1755 Sudsbury, Chester Co. PA wife: Margaret Woods b. 1710 daughter of Adam & Sarah Woods. Adam was the brother of Michael Woods. Thomas b 1686 d 1774 Montgomery Co, VA, John b 1689 d 1757 Pendleton Co. m 1.Sarah Rogers 2.Agness Snodgrass and Elizabeth b 1700 m John Preston 1724. I'm interested in the Osborne connection. There are Osbornes in Greenbrier Co. who intermarry with Kincaids around 1800. Do you know if they are related?
