I just took a quick scan of some old directories and didn't see any
Pattons owning land near Sugar Grove. However, I did find a Charles Cade
owning land in Jackson Township (where Sugar Grove is). Could Cade be
Mrs. Jane Patton's maiden name?
I might suggest looking at some of the old plat books to see what you
could find on the Patton family.

Hi folks,
I have had an inquiry about a Patton Cemetery which is said to be located
south of Sugar Grove in Jackson twp. Does anyone have any information about
this cemetery? It is not among the cemeteries that we have on our list.
Thanks for your help.

"Do you know where the Patton Cemetery is located? I notice the Tipp Web
had a query about Patton. The item states it is south of Sugar Grove on the
Patton land.
PATTON, David – (1835 - 29 Feb 1880) -Last Saturday the remains of David
Patton were brought here from near Veedersburg, Indiana, where he died
twenty-eight years ago the 29th of last February from pneumonia. He went
there to attend to some business and it was very cold. He walked three and
one half miles out in the country, took cold and pneumonia set in and he
died, aged sixty-five years. His wife, Mrs. Jane Patton, and the surviving
children, Lafayette Patton, Mrs. James Flagg and Mrs. Cade, of Danville,
desired to have his remains brought here and interred in the PATTON CEMETERY
on their own land, south of Sugar Grove. The case containing the remains is
a metallic one and in a fine state of preservation. Mrs. Finney conveyed the
remains by hearse to the grave where it was interred Saturday afternoon.
