Samuel Patterson (1765/74) and Elizabeth --- of Tryon, Lincoln, Rutherford, Buncombe, Henderson, and Transylvania Co, NC


[Commentary] [Children] [Researcher List] [Register Report] [A Note about sources] [How to contact me] [Home]


I (Marty Grant) am a 5th Great Grandson of Samuel Patterson and Elizabeth —, providing that they are the parents of my ancestor Samuel Patterson (1805).

Special thanks to several people for providing information that greatly helped to sort out the children of this family: Linda McBroom, Linda Jernigan, William T. Ledford, Jess Markle, Evelyn Miller, Jennie Vee Pitts (Deceased), Mycolynda Updegraff, Valeska Vicars, Sharon Welton and others.

Samuel Patterson was born ca 1765/1774 (per census analysis), presumably in old Tryon County, North Carolina (now Lincoln County).

Samuel Patterson is probably a son of Matthew Patterson. Samuel was a Chain Bearer for a 1779 Survey for his father Matthew and he owned land next to Matthew on Puzzle Creek in Rutherford. Samuel later moved to Buncombe County near Matthew, though about 10 years after Matthew did, but he moved to the exact same place. Samuel also named his oldest son "Matthew". All this is circumstantial, but it is strong enough to convince me.

On 9 Nov 1779, Samuel’s presumed father Matthew Patterson Entered a tract of land on Puzzle Creek, and Thomas Price and Samuel Patterson were the Chain Bearers. This land was not granted until 9 Aug 1787. Chain Bearers were almost always relatives of the person entering the land, so this is one of the pieces of evidence tying Samuel to Matthew. (From the Card Index at the North Carolina Archives, recorded on Card # 240, which stated this grant was recorded in Book 65 page 304.)

Samuel was not listed on the 1790 census, so it stands to reason he was still at home with his parents. His father Matthew was listed in Rutherford County in 1790 and his household included two males over 16 (born before 1774), one being Matthew, and the other is probably Samuel.

Samuel Patterson married Elizabeth — ca 1790 in Rutherford County. I have no direct proof that his wife was named "Elizabeth", but after Samuel died, a widow Elizabeth was listed on the next census record, and her household fits well with Samuel’s, so I’ve assumed she was his widow. I have not found any other evidence to connect her to him, but I’m reasonably sure she was his wife. I have no clues as to her maiden name. She was born ca 1770/74 per census analysis, probably in Tryon, now Rutherford County.

On 4 Apr 1794, Samuel Patterson entered 50 acres (Entry # 527) on Waters of Puzzle Creek bordering Matthew Patterson and Robert Webb. He described the land as "being my own improvement" meaning he had already worked it and added crops and or a house. The Chain Bearers for the survey were Isaac Little and Thomas Cartright. The land was granted to Samuel on 23 Dec 1796 (Grant # 1243) and recorded in State Grant Book 91 page 525. (I found this at the North Carolina Archives in Land Grant Card Index).

I don’t know who Isaac Little and Thomas Cartright were, but working on the assumption that they are related, I can assume that they could be brothers-in-law to Samuel Patterson, if related at all. Neither of them were listed on the 1790 or 1800 census in the area.

Samuel’s parents moved to newly formed Buncombe County by 1792, but Samuel remained in Rutherford for a few more years before joining them.

Samuel Patterson was listed on the 1797 Rutherford County tax list and taxed for 1 Poll (himself) and for 50 acres, (which matches the one land Grant he had received).

Samuel Patterson was listed on the 1800 census in Rutherford County. Unfortunately this census was alphabetical, so I can’t tell who the neighbors were. There were four other Pattersons in Rutherford that year also, but I don’t know if any lived near Samuel or not.

At some point in the 1800-1810 time-frame, Samuel Patterson moved to neighboring Buncombe County and joined his parents. He settled somewhere in the same general area as his parents, but I can’t be sure precisely where he lived for he never received any land grants nor purchased any land (as far as I’ve found). His father had land, and it is possible, but not likely that he lived on that land. This would put him on what is now Patterson Creek just south of Brevard in present Transylvania County. The reason I’m not sure he lived on his father’s land is that they were not listed near each other on the 1810 census, but they did have many of the same neighbors over the years, so he was probably very nearby, if not right on Patterson Creek. He may have lived on Graham Creek which is about 2 miles north of Pattersons Creek. His son Matthew Patterson (c1790) sold land on this creek in 1825, but I have not found where he obtained it, so I suspect he inherited it from Samuel.

As noticed on the Matthew Patterson page, the State of Georgia laid claim to the head waters of the French Broad River and created Walton County there in 1803. This County included land also claimed (rightfully) by Buncombe County, North Carolina. The Pattersons lived in that disputed area. An 1804 census for Walton County showed Matthew Patterson but not Samuel, so Samuel probably didn’t moved there until after 1804.

Samuel Patterson was listed on the 1810 census in Buncombe County. He was not listed near his father (several pages away), but they were clearly in the same part of the county based on the neighbors, so they probably didn’t live very far apart. There were eight other Pattersons in the county that year (including Samuel’s father Matthew), but none were listed near Samuel (or Matthew). Samuel’s next door neighbors were John Orr and James Erwin (who’s son Thomas would marry Samuel’s daughter Mary in a few years).

Samuel Patterson was listed as a juror for the January 1812 session of Buncombe County Court.

Samuel Patterson and his father Matthew and many of their neighbors signed an 1813 Petition as residents of Walton County, Georgia requesting something be done about their disputed situation, asking for a new county to be created in North Carolina for them. It was this same year that the state border issue was resolved and North Carolina once again had exclusive claim on the area, and Walton County, Georgia was dissolved.

On 31 May 1813, Samuel Patterson of neighboring Haywood County made his Will and named, among others "Samuel Patterson, my brothers son". He also named Samuel Patterson as his Executor. I don’t know if the named Samuel Patterson is this same Samuel of Buncombe or not, but some of the others named in the Will were familiar names from the section of Buncombe where our Samuel lived.

Samuel Patterson was listed on the 1820 census in Buncombe County. He was next door to Matthew Patterson (probably his son), and David Duck (probably Duckworth). Many of his other neighbors were the same ones as were his neighbors and his father’s neighbors back in 1810.

I did not find Samuel Patterson on the 1830 census, but an apparent widow Elizabeth Patterson was listed. She was listed next door to James Erwin (who’s son Thomas married Samuel’s daughter Mary a few years before that). Elizabeth’s other neighbors were many of the same names who were near Samuel and Matthew in previous census records, so I’m reasonably sure that Elizabeth was Samuel’s widow.

Samuel may have died before 1825, for on 22 Dec 1825 Matthew Patterson of Buncombe sold 150 acres to James Hamblin. The land was on the West Side of the French Broad River on both sides of Graham Branch. I don’t know where Matthew got this land, so it stands to reason that he inherited it from Samuel when he died. Witnesses were James Erwin (Elizabeth Patterson’s neighbor in 1830) and Benjamin Wilson. (Buncombe Co, NC Deed Book 15 page 130).

As I mentioned above, widow Elizabeth Patterson was listed on the 1830 census in Buncombe County. She was next door to James Erwin and William Duckworth.

In 1838, Henderson County was formed from Buncombe County, and included the area where the Pattersons lived, though by then all of them had moved away.

I did not find Elizabeth Patterson on the 1840 census, but someone her age was living with Samuel Patterson (1805) in 1840 in Union Co, GA. Since I believe he was her son, it stands to reason that she accompanied him to Union County, Georgia.

I did not find Elizabeth on the 1850 census. She was no longer with Samuel Patterson (1805), nor elsewhere as far as I could find, so I suspect she had died between 1840 and 1850, presumably in Union County, Georgia.


Children

Samuel Patterson and Elizabeth (—) Patterson had numerous children per the various census records. None of the are proven by any primary source documents, but I have assembled a list of children based on several factors. First, there are two old family histories that include information about the family. Then there is the strong circumstantial evidence that ties several Pattersons together, all seemingly children of Samuel and Elizabeth.

A family history was given by Mary Jane Patterson White who was a grandchild of James M. Patterson. She told Jennie Vee Pitts this:

Her great grandfather was Samuel Patterson b. about 1790 to 1795, wasn't sure. Samuel lived about 10 miles from Hendersonville, N.C. in Henderson County, N.C. Their home was described as being a one days journey to the top of Big Snow Bird Mountain and close to headwaters of the French Broad River. Samuel's children were born and reared there, and the names of the children were Nathan, Bill, James (Jim), Millicy and John.

That story (told many years ago) makes it very clear that she is talking about the same Samuel Patterson that I’ve been describing here. The only conflict would be in the approximate birth date she gave for Samuel, but she did say she wasn’t sure.

The other family history (shared by William T. Ledford) was from a great grandchild of William Patterson which included this tidbit:

Great Grand Father William Patterson born 1795 he is the Son of one of the three Bros that came over from Scotland one of them named Samuel.

These two sets of tradition seem to confirm what circumstantial evidence suggests about who belongs to Samuel Patterson. Not every child of Samuel was mentioned, but a few others clearly belong here as well based on other evidence. The census records also include several unknown children who are yet unidentified. The two family histories seem to prove Nathan, William (Bill), James (Jim), John and "Millicy". I’ve added Matthew, Samuel and Mary to the list for various compelling reasons. That leaves a few still unknown. I have no data on Millicy other than her name. There were several unknown daughters per the census, one of them was certainly her.

Unknown Son (1790/94) Matthew Patterson (c1790)

Unknown Son (1794/1800) William Patterson (c1795)

Unknown Daughter (1790/1800)

Unknown Daughter (1794/1800)

Unknown Daughter (1800/04) Mary Patterson (1800)

Unknown Daughter (1800/04)

Unknown Son (1804/10) Samuel Patterson (1805)

Unknown Son (1804/10) Nathan Patterson (c1810)

Unknown Daughter (1804/10)

Unknown Son (1810/15) James M. Patterson (1812)

Unknown Son (1810/15) John Patterson (1815)


Unknown Son (1790/94). Samuel Patterson had an apparent son this age. He was home in 1800 (age "under 10", born ca 1790/1800), and apparently still home in 1810 (age 16-25, born ca 1784/94). He was gone by 1820, so probably married or dead by then.

I’m quite confident that this is Matthew Patterson (c1790) for he was next door to Samuel Patterson for the 1820 census. By 1828 Matthew had moved to Macon Co, NC (as did Samuel Patterson 1805) and from there to Habersham Co, GA and on to Lumpkin Co, GA and finally to Tippah Co, MS where he died.

See their own page for additional information on them.


Unknown Son (1794/1800). Samuel Patterson had an apparent son this age. He was home in 1800 (age "under 10", born ca 1790/1800), and apparently still home in 1810 (age 10-15, born ca 1794/1800). He was gone by 1820, so probably married or dead by then.

I’m quite sure that this is William Patterson (c1795) based on the two family histories I mentioned and also based on his families proximity to other members of the Samuel Patterson family. His children referred to Samuel Patterson (1805) as their Uncle, so that seems to show they were brothers.

William married Mary Glazner around 1820, and they lived in the same area of old Buncombe County, until ca 1836 when they moved to the Hiwassee River area of Cherokee Co, NC (now Clay County). William died there in 1837, and Mary remained there for many years, finally she and her children followed brother-in-law Samuel Patterson and others to Huerfano County, Colorado in the 1860's.

See their own page for additional information.


Unknown Daughter (1790/1800). Samuel Patterson had an apparent daughter this age. She was home in 1800 (age "under 10", born ca 1790/1800). She was gone by 1810, so probably married or dead by then.

I have no clue who this might have been.


Unknown Daughter (1794/1800). Samuel Patterson had an apparent daughter this age. She was home in 1800 (age "under 10", born ca 1790/1800), and still apparently home in 1810 (age 10-15, born ca 1794/1800). She was gone by 1820, so probably married or dead by then.


Unknown Daughter (1800/04). Samuel Patterson had an apparent daughter this age. She was home in 1810 (age "under 10", born ca 1800/10), and still apparently home in 1820 (age 16-25, born ca 1794/1804). She was gone by 1830, so probably married or dead by then.

This is probably Mary Patterson who was born 19 Jul 1800 in Rutherford Co, NC. She married Thomas Erwin on 29 Jan 1824. (Thanks to Mycolynda Updegraff for these dates and other data on her family).

There is no direct evidence that Mary is a child of Samuel Patterson but the circumstantial evidence is strong. Her husband’s father (James Erwin) was a constant neighbor of the Pattersons in old Buncombe County through the years. A few years after her marriage to Thomas Erwin, they moved to Union Co, GA with Samuel Patterson (1805) and were his constant neighbors for years, finally following him to Huerfano Co, Colorado. Her daughter Rebecca was a witness to the death of Samuel Patterson (1805-1879) and testified to such in an affidavit. Samuel Patterson's widow Margaret was living with Mary Patterson Erwin's daughter Rebecca in 1880 and listed as her "Aunt". All told, the evidence is very strong that Mary is a sister to Samuel Patterson (1805), and therefore circumstantially a child of the older Samuel Patterson.

Thomas Erwin was born 11 Jul 1798 in Buncombe (now Transylvania) Co, NC, son of James Erwin (c1772). As I mentioned before, his father James was a long time neighbor of both Matthew Patterson (c1749) and Samuel Patterson (1765/74).

Thomas Erwin was listed on the 1830 census in Buncombe County just three houses from Walter Hogshead (who was grandfather of Easter Nicholson, wife of James M. Patterson). Thomas was on the same page as West Patterson relationship unknown, but probably a cousin to Mary Patterson Erwin.

1 Female(s) 5-9        (1820-1825)	Rebecca ERWIN (1825) daughter

I did not find the Thomas Erwin family in 1840. There was a Thomas Erwin in 1840 Henderson Co, NC (which was formed in 1838 from Buncombe, and included the area the Erwins and Pattersons had lived in), but this Thomas was much too old to be the same person. I believe they were in Georgia at this time, for they had a child born in March 1840 who was born in Georgia. That means they had moved to Georgia between 1837 and 1840, but for some reason were not listed on the 1840 census in Union County where they later lived. There is a Thomas Irwin in Lumpkin Co, GA in 1840. The enumerations are a perfect match for everyone but Thomas himself, but his entry is only off slightly, but I do feel this is them. His neighbors were Hardin Perkins and J. S. Chastain. Mary Patterson Erwin’s brother Matthew Patterson (c1790) was also in Lumpkin in 1840, and listed just a couple of pages away.

2 Female(s) 0-4        (1835-1840)	Mary Elizabeth ERWIN (1837) daughter
					Margaret ERWIN (1840) daughter

They were listed in Union Co, GA for the 1850 census. They were next door to my ancestor Mary Murphy Wright, which puts them in the Gum Log area (I think). ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.

They were still in Union Co, GA for the 1860 census. They seemed to be in the Gum Log area or perhaps Ivy Log.  ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.

They were still in Union County for the 1870 census, apparently still in Gum Log area. ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.

At some point in the 1870's, the Erwin’s left Union Co, GA and went to Huerfano County, Colorado where they joined brother Samuel Patterson and sister-in-law Mary Glazner Patterson.

Thomas Erwin died in Colorado on 11 Apr 1878.

I did not find Mary Patterson Erwin on the 1880 census, though I would have thought she would be in Huerfano Co, CO that year. Most of her children were there in 1880.

Mary Patterson Erwin died in Colorado on 4 Jan 1887.


Unknown Daughter (1800/04). Samuel Patterson had an apparent daughter this age. She was home in 1810 (age "under 10", born ca 1800/10), and still apparently home in 1820 (age 16-25, born ca 1800/04). She still seemed to be home in 1830 (age 20-29, born ca 1800/10). I have no record of her after that.

I don’t know who this daughter was unless she was the Millicy Patterson mentioned in one of the Family Histories.


Unknown Son (1804/10). Samuel Patterson had an apparent son this age. He was home in 1810 (age "under 10", born ca 1800/10), and still apparently home in 1820 (age 10-15, born ca 1804/10). He was not home in 1830 so probably married or dead by then.

I’m fairly sure that this is Samuel Patterson (1805). He is not a proven child of Samuel and Elizabeth but the circumstantial evidence links him. He moved from Buncombe to Macon County in the Toxaway River area which is actually only about 15 miles from the Samuel Patterson home place near Brevard. Samuel (1805) and Matthew (1790) lived there at the same time briefly, before Matthew left for Georgia. Samuel (1805) left Macon County for neighboring Union County, Georgia in the 1830's and remained there many years. He left Union County, Georgia for Huerfano County, Colorado where he died in 1879. He was closely associated with Mary Patterson Erwin (1800) and Mary Glazner Patterson, widow of William Patterson (1795) so that seems to tie him into the Samuel Patterson Sr family.

Samuel Patterson married Jane Moore in 1830. See their own page for additional information.


Unknown Son (1804/10). Samuel Patterson had an apparent son this age. He was home in 1810 (age "under 10", born ca 1800/10), and still apparently home in 1820 (age 10-15, born ca 1804/10). He was not home in 1830 unless he was one of the ones enumerated in the age 15-19 category (born ca 1810/20), and in fact, I think he was, thus putting his birth date at ca 1810.

I’m reasonably sure that this is Nathan Patterson (c1810) who was mentioned in one of the old family histories as being part of Samuel’s family. This Nathan purchased land in 1838 in Cherokee Co, NC (where his brother William lived) and he married Abigail Melissa Adams (or McAdams) in Hall Co, GA where he apparently died in the late 1840's.

See his own page for additional information.


Unknown Daughter (1804/10). Samuel Patterson had an apparent daughter this age. She was home in 1810 (age "under 10", born ca 1800/10), and still apparently home in 1820 (age 10-15, born ca 1804/10). She still seemed to be home in 1830 (age 20-29, born ca 1800/10). I have no record of her after that.

I don’t know who this daughter was unless she was the Millicy Patterson mentioned in one of the Family Histories.


Unknown Son (1810/15). Samuel Patterson had an apparent son this age. He was home in 1820 (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20), and still apparently home in 1830 (age 15-19, born ca 1810/15).

I’m reasonably sure this is James M. Patterson (1812) for he was one of those names listed in the family history by his granddaughter naming him as a son of Samuel Patterson. James married Easter Nicholson whose family lived in the same part of Buncombe County with the Patterson family, further proving his connection to Samuel Patterson. They all moved to Union (now Fannin) Co, GA in the 1840's.

See their own page for additional information.


Unknown Son (1810/15). Samuel Patterson had an apparent son this age. He was home in 1820 (age "under 10", born ca 1810/20), and still apparently home in 1830 (age 10-14, born ca 1815/20).

I’m fairly sure this is John Patterson (1815) for there was a John mentioned in one the family histories, and this John lived in Union Co, GA with some of his siblings. John married twice, first to Mary Ann Mince and second to Maven Saterfield.
