John William -- known throughout his life as "J.W." -- was the son of S.T. and Celia A. Patterson, daughter of "John W. Patterson and wife" and that their son was John W. Selfridge, born in Dennison, Texas on October 28, 1894 (my husband's grandfather). It seems pretty obvious that this John W. Selfridge was named to honour his paternal grandfather John W. Patterson. Celia A. Patterson / Annie Cecilia Patterson died young, but of the 11 children , AT LEAST the first was the son of S.T. Selfridge (Steven Thomas Selfridge) and his first wife, Celia A. Patterson.
According to Roberta Abbe, she found evidence that Stephen T. Selfridge married a second wife, Lula Robinson on March 9, 1905. Children born after that date would have been the offsping of S.T. and Lula.
Maronda Fuqua then cites a third marriage for S.T. Selfridge -- to Louise Garman (sometimes spelled Garmon) who adopted the previous children and had at least four of her own, Mollie, Cora and Nora (twins?), and the youngest child, Furman Selfridge, from whom she descends..
Until birth certificates are found for all eleven of these children, we only know for certain that J.W. was the son of S.T. Selfridge and Celia Patterson, that any children born after March 9, 1905 and before Mollie were the children of S.T. and Lula Robinson, and that Mollie, Cora, Nora, and Furman were the son of S.T. Selfrige and Louise Garman.
