William
Patterson, son of Robert "R" and Sarah _____
Patterson, was still under age in 1775 when his father
wrote his Will in Craven/York
Co SC. He MAY have been born as early as 1758, but most
likely no later than 1762.
Not
much is known about this William. He may be the William
Patterson that was named in 1783 by Col. William Bratton
as one of the Tories
from York Co SC (a Tory was supportive of the British
in the Revolutionary War, aka a Loyalist). If William
Patterson was a Loyalist, he wasn't alone in this family.
Here is Bratton's list of Tories from York Co SC:
Peeter
Juland Jr.
Benjamin Juland
Peeter Juland
Wm. Juland
Daniel Ponder
Jary Juland
Robert Black
James Irvin
Wm. Patterson
Josaph Black
Thomas Peeterson
John Black
Mathew Black
Notice
the Pattersons, Blacks, and Julians! The Daniel Ponder
may have been Daniel Sr as he certainly was a Loyalist.
Daniel Jr was a brother-in-law to this William Patterson.
The Thomas "Peeterson"
(Patterson) was a brother to the William Patterson. Also,
the John and Joseph
Blacks were more brothers-in-law to William.
Again,
I am not sure what happened to William Patterson. More
research continues to be done on him, but so far to no
avail.
