Robert
"R" and Sarah Patterson's Children:

Robert
Patterson Jr was born between 1748 and 1752, presumeably
in the Linville Creek area of Augusta Co Va. This area
is about 8-10 miles west of Harrisonburg, Va in modern
day Rockingham county.
By
the time Robert Jr was 10-15 years old the family had
moved to what was then Mecklenburg Co NC in the 1760's.
From 1769 to the mid or late 1770's it was under the jurisdiction
of Tryon Co NC. Once the boundary line between the Carolinas
was surveyed and resolved, it turned out that the Clark's
Fork of Bullocks Creek area where Robert Jr and his
parents and siblings all lived was actually in SC. It
had formerly been known as Craven Co SC in the 1750's
and prior, thus the reason for his father's will in 1775
to be labeled as the Will
of Robert Patterson of Craven Co SC. By the late 1770's
it became known as York Co SC, and thus it still is today.
Robert
Jr married Mabel _____ between 1778 and 1780 in York Co
SC. Therefore, he was single when his dad wrote his will
in 1775, and therein having made Robert Jr and Peter (two
of his sons) executors of his will. Robert Jr and Mabel
lived in York Co SC until about 1795/96 at which time
they moved to Rutherford Co NC. They may have lived briefly
in Rutherford Co NC already back around 1787, but this
move in the mid 1790's was permanent, at least in terms
of leaving York Co SC.
Robert
and Mabel's 14th and youngest child was born in Rutherford
Co NC in 1803. Sometime after that they moved to McMinn
Co TN. Robert Patterson Jr wrote his will in McMinn Co
TN on 1-27-1828. He died shortly thereafter.
There
are several descendants of Robert and Mabel who have done
a tremendous job of documenting the large family of Robert
Jr. I am especially indebted to them for sharing their
work with me. They are Harald Reksten, Cay Devin,
and Doris A.W. Oakes. Thank you all very much!
