News: Looking for females who are in the pure female lines (mother to daughter) from William and Sarah who are willing to do an mtDNA test. Such a person would be descended along an all female line from Mary DEVIN Biggers or Margaret DEVIN Reynolds. The hope is to identify the markers for Sarah SMITH Devin to help identify her parents. Contact the webmaster if interested.

Devin descendant, Stanley Wayne Devin, passed away at 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 4, 2014. He was the last living child of Ira & Oleta Devin.

        From "A Place Called Belmont" by Jerry Martin

        pg. 69
        In early Golden (known then as the Fanchertown community) abou t 1890, W.T. Martin deeded a plot of ground on the north side o f the old Eastport and Pikeville Road for a school house. This l and was deeded to trustees-- Dr. V.S. Stanphill, C.L. Pate, an d A.W. Patterson --of Martin Free Public School.

        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 Doris listing their marriage date....

        5 July 2001

        the details of the other message! There is yet another marriag e between
        the Pattersons - Georges - that of Matilda Patterson is to hav e married
        a George! I've asked both Mary and Jerry about any thing on thi s, but
        haven't gotten their reply!

        From: SmithGen@att.net

        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.
