Samuel Patrick married in Estill County, Kentucky, to Elizabeth Lowery. They had seven children: Sarah, Mary, Elizabeth, John, Paul, Martha, and Rebecca. All these children except Rebecca were born in KY. Rebecca was born in Illinois; her mother must have died shortly thereafter because Samuel remarried 4 months after Rebecca was born. Samuel married Sallie J. Ransom (aka Sarah Ranson) in St. Louis in April of 1866. Where they were between 1866 and 1874, I do not know. In 1874, they had settled in Ozark County, Missouri. According to the 1880 Census, they are in the Richland Township and have two children of their own: Lidia and Anna. According to my greatgrandmother, there were eight children: "half brothers & sisters--8: Annie, Rachel, Phoebe, Bad & Shug, Peter, Homer (?)." Obviously she didn't know the name of the eighth. In 1883, Samuel died, and I have no record or notion of what happened to Sallie's children. Can anyone out there help me? And if you are a descendent of Samuel's children (any of them) I definitely want to hear from you! I am greatgreatgranddaughter of Paul Patrick.
