Message Board Post:
Looking for information on Arthur PATTERSON and his family. He was born Jan 1822 (various
census forms list his birthplace as Kentucky, Ohio, and Virginia). Married Samantha
COLLIER in Delaware Co, IN on Nov 5, 1855. Two children: William (1857) and Cora (1859).
In the 1860 and 1870 Census records, there was a woman named Martha PATTERSON living in
the househould. She was listed as age 62 and 76(?), born in VA. Possibly Arthur's
mother?? Arthur is listed as "retired hardware merchant" at age 48 in the 1870
census. Martha does not appear in the 1880 census, so I assumed she died before then.
Any further information on this family is appreciated!! Especially on Martha PATTERSON.
Thank you.
