Hi, I just saw your thread, don't know if you still follow this or not..My great great grandfather was John Cabot Patterson, born 1827 NY. I have been told that through some family tree search we are related to your grandfather, Sebastian Cabot. I am assuming the middle name of my gggrandfather is his mother's maiden name. We do have ties to Wales, England , and Ireland. Do you by any chance know of any Cabots that married Patterson's, either on England or in America? thank you so much for your trouble. cindy patterson malinowski
