Advisory

Some researchers have claimed that Matthew Patton was a son of the Immigrant Col. James Patton, but there appears to be no factual sources to back up this claim. Col. James Patton in his will written 1 September 1750 only named his two daughters, Margaret Patton, who married Col. John Buchanan; and Mary Patton, who married Capt. William Thompson of Spring Hill. There is also no mention of Matthew Patton in the many land records that Col. James Patton left behind after his death in 1755, that (if it were true) Matthew as sole male heir would have had to have played a part in settling. Matthew was likely related (possibly a cousin or nephew) to Col. Patton, but he was most likely not his son.

Notes for ELIZABETH BARBER: CAPTAIN GEORGE BARBER OF GEORGIA by David W. Morgan

Chapter One Captain GEORGE BARBER p. 1 - 10

The parents of Captain George Barber were George and Elizabeth Barber of Augusta County, Virginia. The elder George died 1750 in that colony, and one of the appraisers of his estate in Augusta County was Robert Williams, the uncle of Margaret Watkins, Margaret later to become the bride of Capt. George Barber. Elizabeth, widow of the elder George Barber, married a man by the name of Patton in May of 1751 on Craig's Creek. Robert Watkins (Father of Margaret), the elder George Barber, and Matthew Patton all lived near each other on Craig's Creek in 1745.[1]1

Matthew Patton was the step-father of Capt. George Barber. He lived next to the Watkins family in Johnston County, North Carolina in 1767, and lived next to Capt. George Barber and Reese Watkins in Wilkes County, Georgia. Matthew Patton died in Wilkes County, Georgia in 1806, and two of the executors of his will were Capt. George Barber and Christopher Orr. Matthew Patton had been a witness to the will of Christopher's father, Robert Orr, in Johnston County, North Carolina in 1779.[2]2 This same Christopher had married Martha, the daughter of Reese Watkins. Reese Watkins was the older brother of Margaret Watkins.[3]3

George Barber was born about 1743, probably in Augusta County, Virginia. He had an older brother named [4]Plier. George married Margaret Watkins in December 1766 or early 1767. This date is determined because Margaret signed a deed in Bedford County, Virginia, 6 November 1766, as Margaret Watkins.[5]4 Also their oldest son, William Barber, served in the American Revolution.[6]5

Margaret Watkins was born about 1743 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, the youngest child and only daughter of Robert Watkins and his wife Margaret, and the only granddaughter of Cadawalader Watkins, who immigrated to America from Wales before 1704. The descendants of Cadawalader Watkins have been traced in the book Reese Kelso Watkins, his Ancestry and his Descendants, by Frank B. Russell, 1973.
