Yes, I have Matthew Patterson's birthdate as December 25th, 1841 in Guernsey County
Ohio. My records show the family moved into Brown County in 1854 from Ohio. But we
believe they had been in Pennsylvania prior to that. Matthew mustered into Company A, 93d
regiment, Indiana volunteer infantry in 1863. He was captured at the battle of Guntown,
Mississippi, June 10, 1864. He was aboard the steamboat, Sultana, April 27th, 1865 when
the boilers exploded and the ship sank. 2/3 of the passengers pershed, Matthew survived.
He was discharged from military service July 15th, 1865. I have the same information on
the marriage of Matthew and Eliza, June 14, 1869. I don't have the dates but he was
postmaster general in Brown County, and also served as a judge. I also have his death as
June 21, 1929 in East Columbus.
Sorry, I don't have the parents of Eliza Cable, but I do have some information on
Samuel Patterson.
I have the following names as siblings of Matthew Patterson:
Mary Jane Patterson 1843-1848
William Henry Patterson 1846-1919
John David Patterson 1848-1920
Harvey Andrew Patterson b.1850
Samuel Patterson, Jr. b.1852
Lucinda Patterson 1853-1873
Joseph Patterson b.1855
Sarah Jane Patterson b.1857
Charles Miles Patterson b.Sept 25, 1860 (resided in Franklin, IN)
Oliver Perry Patterson b.April 17, 1863 d. 1949
Ida Mae Patterson b.1866 (married a McKay)
Laura B. Patterson 1870-1931
Perhaps my John David is your John Dana? I'd be interested to correct any of my
information and if you could share your sources. All my information comes from my family
members. I have two great uncles that are decendents of Matthew that are living.
Matthew's and Eliza's children were:
Clinton O. Patterson b. June 10, 1870 d.bef June 21, 1929
Ella V. Patterson b November 11, 1872
Milla Effie Patterson b. October 31, 1878 (moved to Sacramento California and lived there
in 1929, married Yates)
Della June Patterson (my great grandmother) b. June 10, 1885
m.October 15, 1907 (Rev. William Garnet Jewell)
d. February 21, 1972
Edith Bellva Patterson b. August 17, 1893 (married Kenneth Jackson)
Going back I have Samuel Patterson (father of my Matthew) born 1818 in Fayette County
Pennsylvania
died in 1893
Do you have any information on the marriage of Samuel Patterson and Eliza Cable (Gable?)
I have the parents of Samuel Patterson as Samuel Patterson b.bef 1775 d.1864 m.bef 1857
and Martha Nichols d. 1857 in Brown County. Is that correct?
I also have information on their children if you are interested.
