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 :

ordered to be recorded."

Plus Wes found that Nathaniel Harrison died in 1784..

To all:

I would like to know if someone can help me with court minutes
terminology. I have been reviewing many of the court minutes fro m York
Co., SC 1786 - 1797 just this last week, and found some interest ing
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.

Robert married Sarah. Sarah was born in abt.1720; died in 1790. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

[TEST_file_Nov2002.ged]

Note: Mary is named in her grandmother.. Margaret Patterson's w ill in 1744. She isn't named in her father's will which was wri tten in 1775 so we have to assume she died before 1775 without h eirs.

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."

Notes:

[TEST_file_Nov2002.ged]

Note: It appears he died between 1862 (conception of his las t child) and 1870 (census record). The most likely place would b e the war between the states.

From Gene & Brenda Thorn

Harrison Patterson married Nancy Taylor Crouch

Note: Aunt Eunice's chart has Harrison married to a ? Messer
with children Ellen, Alexander and John.

It appears that Ellen is an error, a Virginia shows up in the c ensus records.

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)

There is some confusion about a JB Bolding having been Mary's fi rst husband. BUT the odds are it was Andrew Patton Bolding for s ome reason he called himself Johnnie from time to time.

Cay,

This is the location of where this Patterson family lived (well , most of
them).

Evergreen is located about four miles due south of Greenwood nea r
Boguefala Creek and not far from the Lee County border.

From this location, you would think they would be buried in Pren tiss, Lee or
Itawamba County. To be buried at the Ridge...they moved on. Th e Ridge is at
the opposite end of Itawamba County. Now, I realize you found W oodard in
Tishomingo County, but you can get to Tishomingo County throug h Prentiss as
well. I am just commenting that moved (and I will put it in ter ms of towns
just to give you a direction on a map)...they moved from near Tu pelo > Fulton
> Fairview > Golden.
The Ridge Cemetery is about 2 miles from Golden, MS. It is ver y near to my
grandmother's house which is why I know.

Now...saying that, I also want to add that Franklin County, AL i s only 3
miles from my grandmother's house and TN is only about 50 mile s from my
grandmother's house.
Woodard could have moved with his new wife back into AL or towar d TN.

Have you checked Colbert Co. and Lauderdale Co.'s in AL? If h e did move away
from all his family, there may have been no one to mark his grav e when he
died. He would have all young children with this new wife. Jus t a thought.

From: SmithGen@att.net
To: "Doris A. W. Oakes"

Hi Doris,
I am indirectly related to both Patterson and Bolding
through my mothers line (George). I will try to fill
you in on the information I have, but it is kind of
piece meal. So here goes.............
My J B. Bolding marr. to Mary Ann (Polly) Patterson came
in a letter from a descendantof Arthur Woodward
Patterson/Susan Elen George. I believe the letter came
from Oregon, but can't find it. A lot of my genealogy
stuff was misplaced when I moved from CA to AZ a few
years back. The letter also said Arthur W. Patterson
was a Capt. in the rebel army. Was wounded and captured
and almost died in the yankee prison, but was saved by a
fellow Mason and Maj. in the union army. He walked home
after the war. The letter also stated that he moved to
Lee Co MS and became county treasurer. I have verified
any of lthis information. Arthur and Susan's marriage is
verified as 18 Jan 1859 by an entry in her father's
bible. I haven't found them in the census records, but
then have not looked very hard. They had two children
that I know of. The one you show in Winchester Cemetery
as John P. He lived less than 4 months. The other is
James Pettus Patterson born just before or right after
they were married. That's all I have for Arthur W.
Next....Your Winchester Cem listings for Patterson....
John W. born 1840 is John Wesley, and M.J. Patterson
born 15 Mar 1842 is Mary Jane (nee)Downs, his wife.
I don't know who Mary E. Patterson is.
Now we come to the Boldings.............
My (again indirect) connection there is through James
Tarpley Bolding's third wife..Mary Francis George b. 29
Mar 1865. You will find Mary Francis living with her
half-sister, Lucinda (George) Orr and husband Anderson
Orr in the 1880 census of Franklin Co AL. Her father,
Alexander George, died in 1877 and her mother and older
sister died in 1879. Mary F. married first William
Parrish in 1881. They had two children. The oldest,
Naomi, never married and in later years ended up living
with her step-brother Oscar Bolding in northern TX. I
have no information about Oscar. Which wife was he from?
Somewhere I have some correspondence between Naomi
Parrish and her first cousin's wife, Sudie George. I
think the letters are dated 1963.
I think I rambled a little, but its hard to put things
in perspective when so many had 2, 3 and 4 spouses EACH.
Mary Francis was the product of Alexander's third
marriage. My direct line to him comes from his first
marriage.
Good luck on you research.
