John Patterson - John Patterson

Hello Ed! It has been a long time! All the info here - from me - was from my Dad's genealogy research. After he passed in 1993, I found a briefcase with his genealogy info in it. Years later, I came across it again and thought it was a shame to just put it in a box, that I should share it. I put what I found here on Geni.com. For the most part he didn't have what we would call primary or even secondary sources for his information. There weren't any birth/death certificates or references to official records. Dad used to talk about doing some research back in the 50's when he spent some time in the UK. In the case of John Patterson, the reference is a book titled "Concerning the Forefathers" by Charlotte Conover (1902). There's a quote from it in the Overview section on John Patterson's profile page. That's the only reference/evidence I know of that talks about John Patterson and mentions the 1640 date.
