Norman G. Patterson just wrote me. He told me that he is 88 now and is trying to disengage himself from genealogical activities. In fact, he sent me an inquiry letter concerning the Patterson family, hoping that I could help the person who sent the query. I am not an authority on the Patterson Family. I do have a small data base, however. My ancestry goes back through Missouri, Illinois, North Carolina and Ireland. I can't seem to get out of NC with my research. Any help would be appreciated.
My father was Elmer J. Patterson (1903-1981) m Jennie E. House (IL,MO); Elmer Lee Patterson (1873-1953) m Mary Maria Story (IL); William Elwood Patterson (1841-1916) m Mary Ellen Badger (IL); Isaac Patterson (1815-1871) m Turzy Stout and Sarah Ogden (NC,IL); John Patterson (1785-1851) m Hannah York (Sandy Creek, NC); William Patterson (1763) m Mary Fruit (NC); John Patterson (1750) Ireland-US 1750-1760 (Ireland, NC).
