    From Wes Web site:

    Margaret named in her 1744 will the following: "son Robert Patte rson, and his children; Mary Patterson, daughter of Robert Patte rson; daughter Jane Love; granddaughter Margaret Dollinson; gran ddaughter Ester Harrison; daugher Elizabeth; son-in-law Daniel L ove; son Samuel Adams. She named Robert Patterson and Samuel Ada ms executors. Daniel Love, Jane Love, and Ester Harrison signe d the will September 15, 1744, as the children of "Margaret Adam s".

    ***

    In 1770 the following entry was added to it: "These are to certi fy to all persons whom, &c., that I, Robert Patterson of North Carolina, Tryon County, son of William Patterson, deceased, do di sclaim any right or title that is or may be alledged belonging t o me of a certain tract of land lying and being in Augusta Count y upon a small branch on the south side of Linvell's Creek, whic h said land was taken up by Margaret Adams, the widow of John Ad ams, deceased.--Robert R. Patterson. 1st February, 1770.
    Teste: Francis Adams, J. P., North Carolina, Tryon County.
    Certifies that Francis Adams is a magistrate. Ezekiel Polk, C. C. Proved, 15th March, 1770, by Samuel Hull and Jacob Gum. Samue l Adams qualifies executor, with Joseph Dictum, John Madison, Jr ."


    ***

    This last bullet points out a few things. Robert "R" Patterson . In 1770 he was in Tryon Co NC. Clark's Fork of Bullocks Creek , where Robert Patterson of York Co SC was in 1770, was consider ed to be in Tryon Co NC in 1770. There were NOT any other Rober t Pattersons in Tryon Co NC in 1770 in areas that were later cla imed by SC. As for areas that were later claimed by NC, that wou ld include prior counties of Anson and Mecklenburg. There WAS an other Robert Patterson in Mecklenburg Co NC prior to the formati on of Tryon Co. However, he was still in Mecklenburg Co NC in th e 1780s AFTER the state boundary line was straightened out. Ther e is enough evidence about him to show that he was NOT this Robe rt of Tryon in 1770. Also notice in the last bullet how Robert P atterson refers to his mother as Margaret Adams, not Margaret Pa tterson. This is another reason why we must consider the possibi lity that the Patterson marriage MAY have been the first marriag e for Margaret, and the Adams marriage last.
    * Also notice that Joseph Dictum was an executor of the will i n 1770. Remember that Joseph Dictum was the husband of Rachel Lo ve, granddaughter of Margaret Adams. Joseph was also the son-in- law of Daniel Love.

    From Wes' web site:

    Catherine Adams married Jeremiah Harrison, son of Isaiah Harriso n Sr. Jeremiah Harrison was born in 1707 in Smithtown, Long Isla nd, NY. Some say that Catherine Adams was born in 1710 in Oyste r Bay, Nassau County, NY. Jeremiah Harrison purchased 250 acres o f land from his father Isaiah on 10-10-1732, part of the origina l 907 acre Maiden Plantation, in Sussex Co on the DE, province o f PA. Jeremiah Harrison SOLD this same tract of 250 acres in D E on 6-7-1737 to Samuel BLACK. I am unsure of the relation, if a ny, of this Black to the Blacks of Augusta Co Va. As for the Har risons, they were all selling their DE land in 1737, obviously p reparing for their move to the Va frontier.

    From Wes' web site:

    These children were all born between 1705-1715. Some say that th ey were born in Sussex Co on the DE.

    Catherine's sister Jane Adams married Daniel Love. Daniel Love i s another important link in the Patterson ties between Va and SC . Daniel and Jane's daughter Rachel Love married Joseph Dictum ( remember this name). Daniel and Jane's other daughter Ann marrie d John Gwin (Guin, Quen, Quin, etc.). Just keep in mind that Jan e Adams Love and Catherine Adams Harrison were sisters (half sis ters) to Robert R. Patterson, as will be shown.

    From Wes's web site..

    Margaret Donnell is the key link. She wrote her will in 1744 i n Augusta Co Va, but she didn't die until 1770. She's listed i n 1744 as in Orange County, but that's only because that was the cl osest county seat to their location at the time. They actually l ived on Linville's Creek which was inside the jurisdiction of Au gusta Co.
    * I'm unclear at this point as to the order of her two marriages . She had been married to William Patterson and also to John Ada ms, and both husbands were deceased by 1744. I'm of the impressi on (the more I study these families) that she may have been marr ied to William Patterson first, and THEN John Adams, but again , I don't know that for sure. We do know that Margaret and Joh n Adams had at least four children, maybe more. There were Eliza beth Adams, Catherine Adams, Samuel Adams, and Jane Adams. Thes e children were all born between 1705-1715. Some say that they w ere born in Sussex Co on the DE.

    Margaret named in her 1744 will the following: "son Robert Patte rson, and his children; Mary Patterson, daughter of Robert Patte rson; daughter Jane Love; granddaughter Margaret Dollinson; gran ddaughter Ester Harrison; daugher Elizabeth; son-in-law Daniel L ove; son Samuel Adams. She named Robert Patterson and Samuel Ada ms executors. Daniel Love, Jane Love, and Ester Harrison signe d the will September 15, 1744, as the children of "Margaret Adam s".

    Hardin Patterson's testimonial for Methodist Episcopal Minster w as 13 Sep 1857 in Itawamba County, Mississippi.

    ****

    "A Place Called Belmont"
    "In the early Golden (present Fanchertown) community, the Patter son Chapel Methodist Church was organized in about 1884. It wa s named in honor of Rev. Hardin Patterson, a respected ministe r and early area builder. He reportedly delivered the first serm on at the church and was very helpful in the locating and starti ng of the church. The first membership of the church was compose d mostly of members from Mt. Zion Methodist Church, which had be en located over the edge of Alabama and was destroyed in a ravag ing storm. Early families of Patterson Chapel were: Fancher, Nab ers, Mink, Pate, Patterson, Messer, Bostick, and Epps. An earl y school, Patterson Chapel Public Free School functioned in thi s community."

    In "The Bates Booster" January 1974 issue Volume 3, No. 1

    From A GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY OF JAMES GOODPASTURE by Jefferso n Dillard Goodpasture

    p. 46

    "Among the first business entrusted to Judge Goodpasture, afte r he came to the bar, was his employment to write the will of Jo seph Bates (1777-1848) who lived at Bates' Cove, near Monroe, o n Livingston Road. He was a man of strong intellect, of fair ed ucation and well posted on current events. In religion he wa s a Cumberland Presbyterian, and in politics a Democrat. He wa s a prosperous man of good, sound, judgment; proud of Bates' Cov e, on which he built one of the first, if not the very first, br ick house in the county. He owned many negroes, whom he treate d well, but made profitable. He was the father of the Rev. Thom as F. Bates and a cousin of Mrs. Harvey M. Watterson, the mothe r of Henry Watterson, and of the Rev. Joseph H. Bates, who marri ed a sister of Judge Goodpasture.

    Mr Bates died in 1848 while Judge Goodpasture was a Lebanon, an d he was called home to prove his will, which he had written a s well as witnessed. Afterward the will was contested and he def ended it through all the courts, and at last had the pleasure o f seeing it sustained in the Supreme Court.

    11th Alabama Cavalry

    Also known as the 10th Alabama (Burtwell's) Cavalry Regiment. Th e nucleus of this regiment was a command that served for some ti me under Col. Jeffrey E. Forrest, Forrest's Cavalry Regiment, al so called the 4th Cavalry Regiment. The command was increased t o a regiment, and re-organized by transferring 4 Tennessee compa nies to the 18th Tennessee Cavalry and by sending 5 Alabama comp anies to Warren's and Moreland's cavalry battalions. The 11th Al abama Cavalry Regiment was organized by the consolidation of War ren's and William's cavalry battalions on 14 January 1865, compr ising men from Franklin, Lauderdale, Limestone, and Morgan count ies. It was with Forrest in the attack on Athens and Sulphur Tre stle, and in the fight at Pulaski, losing very severely in casua lties on the expedition. The regiment rendered effective servic e to Gen. John Bell Hood. It was part of Philip Dale Roddy's for ce at Montevallo, and was in front of Union Gen'l James Wilson' s column to Selma; At the assault on the works there, the Eleven th was in the trenches, and nearly all its men retired therefrom , as the part of the line held by them was not assailed. The reg iment laid down its arms at Decatur in May, 1865.

    Field and staff officers: Col. John Robertson Bedford Burtwell ( Lauderdale); Lt. Col. John F. Doan (MS); Major Melville W. Sale ; and Adjutant David H. Halsey (Franklin)

    Notes from "The Family of Madison Love Claunch, Sr"

    Between 1789 and 1796, Barnett (and his family) move with his br other John (and his family) to an area in northeastern Tennesse e which later become Grainger County. Barnett and John are appo inted road over-seers there in 1797, and both are listed as head s of households on the 1799 Tax List.

    By 1810, Barnett has left Grainger County, Tennessee and moved t o Ohio County, Kentucky. He is listed on the 1810 Census there . He is between 26 and 45 years of age (as is his wife) and the re is evidently a son who is less than 10 years old.

    In 1640, Barnett Claunch is found in McCracken County, Kentucky . The census lists him as being between 70 and 80 years of age.

    Notes from Diane Hopmann on Sam and his family:

    At the start of the war, Samuel, about 22 years of age, and hi s young bride, Martha A. Ponder, were living on the farm of rela tives - one farm over from his parents, William Andrew and Susan nah Emelina Crawford. The head of this household was Elizabet h Crawford, listed as age 75 and born in South Carolina in the 1 860 census. Elizabeth is possibly a grandmother to Samuel. Th e oldest male in the household is Thomas Crawford, age 54 born i n South Carolina, possibly an uncle to Samuel.

    On December 31, 1862, Samuel, a 24 year old, became a private i n the Confederate 38th Infantry Co. F. According to Samuel's Co nfederate records he received $44.00 on May 3, 1863, for servic e from December 31, 1862 to April 30, 1863. He received this pa yment while a patient in the General Hospital. No other confeder ate service was indicated. His brothers, William Lindsey age 23 , and James Dobbins about 21 years, were also listed as part o f this company. This regiment was organized May of 1862 in Mobi le, Alabama with the following commanders during the service o f the Crawford brothers: Gen. Slaughter, Gen. Cummings, after tr ansfer in Braggs army, Gen. Clayton. Before their service ende d sometime in 1863, the brothers would only have been in one rea l battle on June 24, 1863, at Hoover's Gap, where the regiment c ame "out almost unscathed".

    Then in 1863 the brothers, and possible some cousins, joined th e ranks of the 1st Alabama Calvary Union Regiment - Company H . National Archives Records show the following:

    Crawford, Samuel A., Pvt. Co H, age 25 EN & MI 10/17/63, Glend ale, MS, MO 10/24/64, Rome, GA.

    Crawford, John F. (this is John Thomas)., Pvt. , Corp., Co. H. a ge 19, EN & MI 9/14/63, Glendale, MS, MO 9/24/64, Rome, GA.

    Crawford, James D. Sr., Pvt., Co H age 22, EN & MI 10/17/63, Gl endale, MS, MO 10/24/64, Rome, GA.

    Crawford, James D. Jr., Pvt., Co. H. age 19, EN & MI 10/17/63 , Glendale, MS, MO 10/24/64, Rome, GA.

    Notes from Lois Firmin's book on the Martin Family:

    George and Margaret Martin and other family members were on th e 1840 Platte Co. census and in 1843, George acquired his Platt e CO farm from the U. S. Land Sales Office located in Plattsburg , MO, 30 mi. away. This is the farm, Sec. 2, Twp. 54, Range 3 6 now owned by his great great grandsons, Joel and James Firmin.

    George Martin was born Sept. 23, 1791, in Nelson County, Kentucky ( later Washington Co. ). In 1799 his father, Nathaniel Martin, m oved south to Cumberland County, KY.

    Sometime around 1814, George and his family moved to White Co. , Tennessee where he married Margaret Bates Bowan, widow of Lev i Bowman, and became guardian of her daughters, Polly and Lill y Bowman. George and Margaret's oldest daughter, Elizabeth, wa s born there in 1817 and their son, Marshall/Martial N. was bor n there in January 1819.

    George was in the War of 1812 and the Battle of New Orleans. B y the census of 1820, the Martin and the Bates families were i n Franklin County, Alabama. Their daughter, Matilda, was born ther e in 1824. The Encyclopedia Brittanica has the following to sa y about Russellville, Alabama, County Seat of Franklin Co.

    "Russellville was settled by men of Andrew Jackson's Army whic h marched through the area after the Battle of News Orleans in 1 815 and was named for Major William Russell, a memeber of Jackso n's staff. It was incorporated on Nov. 27, 1819."

    For some reason, George and William and sister, Ruth Martin, wer e in Cooper County, Missour. There step-daughters Polly and Lill y were married. Polly to Abraham Byler and Lilly to John Miller , daughters Elizabeth to Isaac Miller and Matilda to Enoch Wood . Son, Martial, married Thursa Wood.

    During the approximately 10 years in Cooper County, George and Marg aret bought several farms in the Bunceton and Prairie Home Area s while he brother, William, and sister, Ruth, settled into Col e County nearby. Isaac and John Miller owned land there also . Polly Byler stayed in Cole County when the George Martins mov ed once more.

    This time they came to Platte County, Missouri where the Platt e Purchase opened up the lands west of the original boundary t o the Missouri River. In 1837, the U. S. Gov't. purchased this l and from the Indians. Geo. purchased his first farm from the U . S. Land Sales in 1843 in Plattsburg, MO. This is the farm own ed now by Joel and Jim Firmin, his great=great grandsons.

    George died Aug 23, 1852, and is buried in the Martin Cemetery o n the farm adjoining the home place to the east -- first owned b y Andrew Miller, purchased by George Martin after the death of A ndrew Miller in 1847. It was subsequently owned by John W. Mart in, left to George D. Martin and now owned by the Beisingers.

    Wherever George went he seemed to achieve some prominience - - a Lieutenant in the Tennessee Militia, A Captain in the Ala. H ome Guard and a Justice of the Peace in Alabama and Missouri. T o be able to read and write in those days was an accomplishmen t itself.

    From Note I wrote to James Morse Nov 2001.

    Robert Patterson: In examining Robert's will and getting a bett er understanding of the terminology and legal issues during th e time the will was written.. Most of Robert's descendants now b elieve Robert died sometime between 1775 and 1791 .. actually cl oser to July 1775 when he stated in his will he will ill. His w ife died around 1790/1791 and at that time the will was recorded /probated to give title of the land to his son William. If yo u remember from the will

    From Will: "In the name of God amen then twenty first day of Ju ly 1775, I Robert Patterson of Craven farmer being very sick an d weake in body but of perfect mind and memory, "


    From will: " I likewise give unto my son William the homestea d place after his mother's decease all only from where the lin e crosses the road that goes to Peter's old place and straigh t a cors to the old saw pit below the muddy branch and se straig ht on to the outside line and from that said line down to Peter.

    This was also found in York Co by Wes Patterson :

    Plus Wes found that Nathaniel Harrison died in 1784..

    notes regarding the old Robert Patterson who wrote his will in 1 775 and
    had his will recorded in 1791. Many of us have assumed over th e months
    and years that Robert probably died around 1791 since his will w as
    recorded then.

    However, there are several good reasons to believe he died befor e
    October of 1790, and possibly even well before then. Here's my q uestion.
    What specifically does it mean to say that a will was "proven" i n court?
    Does that mean that a will was written and witnessed and that pr oves it?
    Or does it mean that the person who wrote the will has died an d then his
    will was "proven in court"?

    On Thursday, Oct. 14, 1790 (pg. 285 of the court records) state s the
    following: "Will of Robert Patterson Senr deceased, formerly pr oven by
    James Dickey and Nathaniel Harrison before Samuel Swann Esqr, wa s
    ordered to be recorded."

    Robert Patterson wrote his will in 1775 and it was signed by Jam es
    Dickey and Nathaniel Harrison, that we DO know. This record abov e proves
    that Robert Patterson was dead by October 1790 at the latest. Ho wever,
    at that point in time, it's obvious that the will HAD been prove d, but
    HAD NOT be recorded officially. So what does it mean to "prove " a will?
    One major thing to remember, Betty (a fellow Patterson and Harri son
    researcher) has pointed out to me that the Nathaniel Harrison in
    question died in 1784, six years before this 1790 entry. And ye t the
    1790 entry says that Harrison proved the will.

    So, did Robert Patterson die by 1783 or 84? Yet, there were tw o Robert
    Pattersons in York County, SC in the 1790 census, assumed to be th e Robert
    in question, and also his son Robert Jr.

    I would appreciate any insight, please. Thanks.
