I am interested in how our Patterson families are interconnected. I descend from Hampton William Patterson, b.1806 in NC, and Elizabeth Moore, b.1809. Their marriage bond is dated December 1826 in Rutherford Co., NC. A John Patterson was bondsman. Several of their children share names in common with your Patterson’s.
I have been matched by Familytree DNA to a descendant of William Tryon Patterson of AL and to a descendant of John Thomas Patterson of Cleveland Co., NC. Has any male in your Patterson line taken advantage of DNA testing?
I’d love to hear back from you.
