Deb:

I am from his first marriage. Kathleen Patt is my mother. She lives in Southington and was quite close to your dad. My understanding is that your dad moved up here and lived with Willie Patt and my grandmother, Ruth Klatt, in Plainville. Donald stayed here, and Willie moved back to MS after he got divorced. Unfortunately, because my grandmother was very angry at Willie (for no good reason) my mother did not get to spend much time with him (also, he lived in MS). I loved him dearly, but the truth is, I dod not know much about his family. I know he ran away at 13 and lived with a wealthy woman in Natchez, whom I met as a child, but other than taht I do not know very much. Would love to know whatever you know.
