William Patterson Records in Chalkley's Chronicles

Overview

Based on earliest DOB's (c1711) for his children William Patterson (75) probably married Margaret about 1710, presumably in Ireland. He is believed to have died by 1715, and no documentation has been developed to support the idea that he ever came to America. In any case, wife Margaret soon remarried to a John Adams, by whom she had several children. The combined families are believed to have immigrated to America where son Robert secures land in Sussex County, DE, in 1732. Margaret's second husband died either shortly before or after the immigration. Son Robert sold his Sussex County land in 1738, and migrated to Orange County/Augusta County by 1744 where his mother, as "Margaret Adams" makes her will. ^[1]

1. ↑ Need to establish the basis for identifying Robert in Sussex County as the same person as settled in Augusta County, and later North Carolina. Is there anything beyond the coincidental evidence related to the sale and purchase of land in these areas by a Robert Patterson?)
