Wes Patterson has taken great strides to verify as much of the information as possible (with original documentation), but in a work of this magnitude it is impossible to verify every piece of data. If you know of any errors, corrections, additions, etc. please contact Wes so that he may update his files.

Wes would like to thank the many researchers and authors who have contributed to the compilation of information contained on this site. There are too many to name, but Wes would especially like to thank Harald Reksten, Pat Saupe, Marty Grant, Cay Devin, Lee Ponder, Roger Ford, Shirley Ferguson, Doris Oakes, Doris Johnston, Barbara Dooley, Betty Jo Hulse, Judy Crandall, Jan & Karen Pieroni, Keith Townson, Kenneth Patterson (late), Viola Jones, Jean Kilstrom, and SO many others who have helped document the many Patterson families throughout the various generations. Thanks to you all!
