logcabinmama Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Sorry, not me. Are you looking for info on him, or do you already have it. Good luck in finding all you are looking for. Quote Link to comment
Wheeler Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Hi Buttercup, It would really help if you could give us a date or an 'about' date! Here's what I found: 1860 Census: Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee 1860 Series: M653 Roll: 1264 Page: 516 Dwelling 855 Family 855: James M. Patterson, age 31, Physician, born Tennessee Sophronia Patterson, age 23 a n d... 1910 Census 6th District, Maury County, Tennessee Series: T624 Roll: 1512 Page: 197 Dwelling: 125 Family: 126 James Patterson, age 26, born Tennessee, farmer Nettie Patterson, age either 21 or 23 Could either of these be yours? I hope so... Quote Link to comment
HapyGirl Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 PATTERSON! Do I have a distant cousin here? I have a great site to hook you up with which might hold some answers!

Wheeler Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I like the way Wes Patterson has his site set up... Someday I'll learn to make a webpage for my ancestors... Quote Link to comment
HapyGirl Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Yes Wes knows his stuff, and he shares it too which is so nice! They are doing a Patterson DNA on the male line too, which is fun to watch even if though I'm decended from a female Patterson and there aren't any direct males to take the DNA from in my line.

Synn Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 I thought I put more information on here. Hmm. I might have dreamed it. Or put it in the wrong forum. Anyway.... James Patterson is my 5th great grandpa, his son David would be my 4th, his daughter Nancy Jane Patterson Randol is my 3rd her son John Wesley would be my great Grandpa, his son Harold Wesley Randol was my Grandpa and his daughter Mona Maxine was my Mom. I know that some of James's sons fought with Andrew Jackson, I know that one of them died while trying to help people at Donner Pass... There is a book floating out there somewhere. After leaving Tennessee they settled in Shelby and Moultrie County Illinois. This all took place in the 1800's as my Grandpa himself was born in 1900. Some of it might even be dated back to the 1700's. I have registered to Wes's site. But I am thinking it's a different line altogether. Thanks for the links! Quote Link to comment

Wheeler Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hello Alie... welcome to MrsSurvival... Here's what I found on your Patterson ancestors... Go to this website and after it opens click Ctrl+F and type in patterson... This site relates to your family but still does not answer your question... you may already have this... http://members.aol.com/Rictobin/source3.html I also found this site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~t...hera/pafn04.htm When this site opens do a Ctrl+Find and again type in patterson and it should take you to the paragraphs that would interest you... This site also does not answer your question! On the Census 1870>Dist. #3>Paris>Lamar County>Texas Series: M593 Roll: 1594 Page: 324 Line: 13 You have Laura B. Patterson age 3 It looks like Thomas age 3 to me but does say she is Female. Maybe my old eyes are not seeing too well... I wish I could have helped you, but some days are like that... Good luck in your search... Quote Link to comment
Synn Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 Wow another Illinoisian looking for a James Patterson in Tennessee! It doesn't look like the same line though... Quote Link to comment
angelbaby0930 Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Well, I have another site to look at -- I haven't investigated that second one at length yet -- and for all your help! Alie Jo Quote Link to comment
angelbaby0930 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Doesn't look like it to me either, Buttercup. Although family legend has it that "Grandpa Patterson was let out of the Army near Bull's Pass, TN", and I have not been able to find anything resembling a "Bull's Pass". I've been assuming that it was in Roane co, because that is where Nancy was born. Any ideas? Alie Jo Quote Link to comment
FondaCash Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I am working on an electronic book of merchants scrip of Tennessee. Merchants scrip is paper money issued by a store, or other business most of it was issued was issued during the Civil war but some after the war up through the 1890s. I have a copy (JPG) of a piece of scrip that is from Bigbyville, TN (Maury County). Bigbyville was about 11 miles southwest of Columbia, TN. The 50 cent scrip was signed Patterson & White and has a printed date of Jan 31, 1863. If this matches a Patterson you are looking for let me know. Will share the jpg of the scrip if you are want. Would like any information on Patterson and White to use in my electronic book. Quote Link to comment
Synn Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 The only thing I know for sure and for certain is that my "Grandpa James Patterson" and a couple of his sons moved to Moultrie County Illinois to a small town named Sullivan. His son David was well known in the community. I found all this online, I was very excited. This was indeed my line of ancestors. While my mom was alive we used to go to Sullivan to the cemetaries. We cannot find Grandpa J's grave as all the stones were piled in a corner and the ground was farmed over. I was thinking that we had found David(2), as well as Nancy Jane(3) and my Great grandparents Wesley and Belle. Every time I drive through Sullivan I think to myself "This is where they all lived and died" and it makes me very proud. Quote Link to comment
Wheeler Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Thats a great feeling isn't it Buttercup? I've walked on the same ground that my great great great grandparents walked on and you just have the feeling that they're there with you! Am I hooked on genealogy or what? People who are not looking for their ancestors don't know what they're missing... it doesn't have to be full time, just jump in gradually and before you know it you're hooked!!! I just got a message from a very distant cousin today... now I'm waiting for her to reply to my reply! Quote Link to comment
ranjitkumar Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I am researching Joshua Patterson and Grizzie (Grace?) Cate. I am looking for the year James Patterson went to Il (They are in the Onine Census 1830 for Edgar Co IL). Thanks. I believe Joshua wenmt west 1846 from Cedar Rapids, IA, that is where most wagon trains assembled and went from. Quote Link to comment
Synn Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 I am pretty sure the year they came to IL is in our family book but I don't have a copy of it.. I will have to obtain it from my sister and see if I can help you out. Quote Link to comment
Synn Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 The information I have says that Grandfather James and his sons David and Joshua settled in Sullivan in 1832 Quote Link to comment
