Family tradition holds that there were about 5 or 6 (some have said 7)
brothers who were Scots-Irish and came over from Northern Ireland in the
mid 1700s or so. I have heard the stories say that they split up and went
to different states. I suspect that they did as others did in those days
in that over several years they migrated to probably western PA and they
and/or their childrenwent in various directions, but not necessarily all
at once.
During the 1750s and 1760s (during the 7 years, French and Indian War)
the western frontierof Pennsylvania and western Virginia became very
dangerous to live in. Also,many of the Quakers and English colonists did
not like the Scots-Irish and German immigrants coming to Pennsylvania in
such massive numbers, so they started making life somewhat difficult for
the Scots-Irish (Patterson, Kincaid, Byers, etc.) and German (Black)
immigrants. As a result of these factors and others I'm sure, many
pioneer families began moving south into Virginia, Northand South
Carolina, and what is today northeastern Georgia. Our John Patterson was
born about 1765-1767, and according to the 1880 Fannin Co., Ga census
where his daughter Amey Jane Patterson Kincaid was listed, it shows that
John was born in SC.
According to data that I was given years ago by other Patterson
researchers, Margaret Black was born about 1767 in SC. The 1850 Union
Co., Ga census lists her as being born in SC about 1767 also. She was
listedin that census twice. One time was in the household of her oldest
son JosephPatterson, Sr., who was born in 1789, in SC. The other time
was in the household of her second son John Patterson, Jr. who was born
in 1798 in the Old Buncombe Co., NC.
John Patterson (Sr) and Margaret Black were married about 1788 in the old
Pendleton District of northwestern SC. Their oldest son was bornin 1789,
as mentioned above. I don't know anything for sure about John's siblings
or parents (see notes further down for additional comments on this
subject). As for Margaret, I only have information on one sibling, a
sister named Susannah Black, who married James Kincaid. The Kincaids were
Scots-Irish, and had only come over from Northern Ireland in the 1750s or
1760s, I believe.
There may or may not be any connection between the Kincaid and Patterson
families. I believe more research should be done regarding the Kincaids
and where they were at various stages of time, and the surrounding
families that were with them.
It's possible that John and Margaret's two "unknown" daughterswere
Susannah (b. ca. 1795-1797 SC) who married William Jones, and Elizabeth
Patterson (b. ca. 1790-1791 SC) who married James Morrow. Will continue
toresearch these families. Another strong possibility is Isabella, who
marrieda Price. This Isabella Price and her son Joseph Price are both
buried at Bethlehem Cem.
There is very strong evidence that points to the Robert Patterson family
of old Craven Co., SC (York Co., SC) as to the ancestry of our John. This
Robert Patterson was born about 1727, either in PA or in the Augusta Co.,
Va area. Robert's will was written in 1775 and he apparently died later
that year in York Co., SC. According to that 1775 will, Robert's son
Thomas (his oldest son) had a son named John. These families were in York
county (old Craven county) by then. One of Thomas's sisters, Lydia
Patterson, married a John Black. Another sister of Thomas's, Elizabeth
Patterson, married Daniel Ponder (sometimes spelled Pounder).
It's interesting to note several key facts about these families and our
John Patterson who married Margaret Black:
1. The Blacks and Pattersons were obviously together in both cases.
2. These families of Robert Patterson have the same names as my John
Patterson's family.
3. Many of Robert's children and grandchildren moved up into northwestern
SC in the 1780s and 90s. My John Patterson was record
