Patterson Generation 6

12 Dec 1808: Gilbert was born in Tennessee.[1] Jimmy Peoples has claimed that Robertson County, TN was his birth place.

26 Mar 1810: Mildred "Milly" Campbell was born in Tennessee, parents unknown.[2] In a letter sent in 1936, grandson Gilbert Benjamin Patterson wrote that his "mother's folks came from Virginia".[3] This is supported by the 1880 Census. Her brother and sister, George Washington and Sarah Campbell, married siblings of Gilbert Patterson. For additional information on the Weakley County Campbells, along with many photos, visit http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kinfolke/CAMPBELL.htm.

5 Oct 1826: Gilbert and Mildred were married.[4] An official record of the marriage hasn't been discovered.

The young couple was apparently not living with Mark and Dicey in 1830 in Henry County. Where were they? Were they residing with Mildred's Campbell family? Were they already in Weakley County, but not recorded on the census?

Gilbert Patterson and George W. Campbell appear in the Weakley County Court Minutes of 1827-1835 on p. 83, 156, 218.

1836 Tax List, Henderson County, TN (District 11): Gilbert is listed with 1 poll.[5]

My grandfather, Gilbert Patterson, settled one and one-half miles west of where Greenfield is located shortly afterward [after the Hornbeak family]. There was one other family by the name of "Mosely" who settled two miles south-east, & they helped Grandfather build his first home. The three families were the first settlers in that section of West Tennessee. . . . . That country was so unsettled, at that time, that Grandfather's family lived for the first eleven years on game killed from his doorstep, such as bear, deer, wild hogs, and wild turkey. Squirrels played on his house top and yard fence, and he didn't waste his ammunition on game that small. He tanned his leather, and made his family boots and shoes. Grandmother made the cloth from which they made clothes. They raised a family of thirteen children. You can tell your children that they descended from fine old families.[6]

11 May 1838: Gilbert purchased 36 1/2 acres in Weakley County adjoining [brother] Thomas Patterson for $250 from D. L. Webb.[7]

1840 Census, Weakley County, TN: Gilbert's household consisted of 1 male under 5, 1 5-10, 1 10-15, 1 30-40; 1 female under 5, 2 5-10, 1 10-15, 1 20-30.[8]

1842 Tax Roll, Weakley County, TN: 1 poll, 200 acres valued at $600. He signed as "Revenue Commissioner" for District 9. This acreage remained the same through 1851 with the assessed value gradually rising to $800.

1 Dec 1843: Along with N. K. Jones and Alfred Bethel, he witnessed a deed from Thomas Evans to [father] Mark Patterson.[9]

11 Sep 1844: Gilbert was named as the adjoining landowner in a deed to Mark Patterson for 10 1/4 acres in Weakley.[10]

29 Aug 1850 Census, Weakley County, TN (District 9): Farmer G. Patterson 42, born in TN, with real estate worth $1,200; Mildred age 41; farmer Thomas; Sarah 21; farmer William 19; Elizabeth 17; Milly 14; Gilbert 12; James 10; Louisa 7; John 5; Charles 2; and four-year-old Gilbert.[11] They were enumerated next to J. and Penelope Ward. Is the four-year-old Gilbert Kemp, son of Silas and Mary Ann Patterson Kemp?

13 Jun 1860 Census, Weakley County, TN (District 9, Locust Grove P.O.): Farmer age 51, with real and personal property worth $3,000 and $3,000; Millie age 50; Sarah 28; Mansor 17; Louisa 16; John 14; Robert 12; Caroline 9; and Andrew 6. Enumerated next to them are [son and daughter-in-law] Thomas and Nancy Patterson.[12] "Mansor" is undoubtedly James Monroe.

7 Jul 1862: Along with Robert Mosely and [brother-in-law] Samuel Baker, Gilbert was ordered by Brig. Gen. G. M. Dodge to take the oath of allegiance to the Union and rebuild the recently burnt bridge over the Obion River on the Trent Road. Apparently Dodge was convinced the three "aided and abetted the Southern rebellion by encouraging the burning of that bridge".[13]

20 Sep 1864: He purchased 98 acres from [son-in-law] S. M. Kemp for $1,650. The parcel adjoined Samuel Baker and J. Hatcher.[14]

1866 Tax List, Weakley County, TN: 297 acres valued at $3,550. Virginia Stephenson claimed that Gilbert was the largest landowner in Weakley County; but that would seem difficult to believe in light of other assessments on tax rolls and censuses.

20 Mar 1867: He bought 48 1/2 acres adjoining Kemp and Shepard from Robert Mosely for $970.

13 Jun 1867: He purchased 40 1/4 acres for $533 from J. G. and J. N. Thomason.[15]

17 Nov 1867: He made a deed of gift of 49 acres adjoining [son] J. W. Patterson and J. Hatcher to son G. B. Patterson. Witnesses: G. W. and William Campbell.[16] G. W. Campbell was Mildred's brother; William was G. W.'s son.

I'm assuming that Gilbert always went by the name of Gilbert in deeds, whereas his son was known as "G. B.". If otherwise, any of these deeds may be assigned to the wrong Patterson.

9 Aug 1870 Census, Weakley County, TN (District 9, Dresden P.O.): Farmer Gilbert Patison 62, with real and personal property worth $5,000 and $1,000; Milly age 61; Robert 21; Caroline 19; Andrew J. 16; Milly Thornton 33, domestic servant, with Belle 10 and Adelaid 8; Henry Fowler 43, domestic servant, with Mary L. 12, Jonathan 11, and Elizabeth 2.[17] Henry Fowler was the husband of daughter Elizabeth Jane, deceased 1868; Mary Louisa, Jonathan, and Elizabeth are Elizabeth and Henry's children. Mary Fowler, age 14, is in the home of son Gilbert Patison, also listed as domestic servant. Could that be Mary Louisa was enumerated twice? Two-year-old Elizabeth is still present in the household in 1880, listed as a granddaughter. Millie Thornton was Gilbert and Milly's daughter.

24 Nov 1870: Gilbert Patterson, Justice of the Peace, married M. P. Campbell and A. C. Thornton. According to Virginia Stephenson, Gilbert was a Justice of the Peace for over 30 years. As such, he took the oath of Elizabeth C. Kemp on 23 Sep 1871 that she had freely consented to the sale of 89 1/4 acres to Mark Patterson.[18]

Virginia Stephenson reported that Gilbert had a general store at Lynn Point, TN until Greenfield was incorporated at the time the railroad arrived. He kept copious ledgers which are now supposedly on display in Rutherford County, TN in the Davy Crockett Cabin; but family researcher Loretta Insco could find no sign of them when she visited the cabin. Dan Brooks was the descendant who reportedly donated them along with many of the furnishings for this cabin. Those furnishings included a trunk belonging to Gilbert.[19]

6 Feb 1871: Gilbert Patterson and W. W. Hornbeck were the two "quarmo Justices" who presided over the county court in Dresden.

11 Nov 1871: Gilbert Paterson bought "160 or 200 acres" formerly owned by Lemuel Stout in District 16 adjoining "Loel's heirs", Thomas E. Mosely, and Evans for $900 from Robert N. Irvine.[20]

11 Nov 1873: He purchased a lot on Main in Greenfield on the Mississippi Central Railroad for $100 from Samuel Baker.[21]

In 1874, "Gilbert Patterson & Son" built the first hotel in Greenfield, no doubt on the lot on Main that he'd bought in 1873.[23]

"Gilbert Patterson purchased a flour and saw mill" with Benjamin F. Roberts, a prominent man in Greenfield.[24]

4 Jul 1876: Col. John A. Gardner, in a speech delivered at Dresden, stated that "Gilbert Patterson, Esquire, an old and highly respected citizen, settled where Greenfield is now in 1836, and yet resides there." According to Virginia Stephenson, the location was 1 mile west of Greenfield.[25]

15 Jun 1880 Census, Weakley County, TN (District 9): Farmer age 72; Milley L. age 71, TN VA VA; Andrew J. 26, working on the farm; granddaughter Elizabeth Fowler 12; laborer Charles Riley; farmer William P. Jones 30, with his wife Mary L. 23, and his son Henry J. age 9/12[26] Mary L. is granddaughter Mary Louisa Fowler. The family was enumerated next to Charles R. Patterson.

13 Sep 1880: Gilbert sold one lot in Greenfield to W. R. Connill for $600. It was located on the west side of the railroad on Locust Street adjoining M. Patterson.[27] Was "M. Patterson" Gilbert's brother Mark?

27 Sep 1880: He sold a house and lot in Greenfield to J. N. Ray for $440. It was located on the west side of C. or 6th Street and the railroad.[28]

18 Jan 1881: Gilbert was one of the trustees of the Methodist Church who sold Brock's Chapel (comprising 8 3/4 acres adjoining the Methodist Church and Trenton Road in District 9) to H. B. Hatcher. The other trustees named were B. F. Brock, William B. White, R. E. Kirkny, and R. A. Orrile.[29] Virginia Stephenson claimed that Gilbert, like his parents, was a Primitive Baptist, and there was the Greenfield Primitive Baptist, organized in 1833 at Spring Creek. However, his obit in The Dresden Enterprise stated that: "He was a long and consistent member of the Methodist Church".

13 Jan 1882: Gilbert both sold and purchased that day: 1) He sold lot in Greenfield adjoining J. J. Ward and M. Ezzell (yet containing 33 acres) to M. Ezzell for $1,320, with the deed being witnessed by W. E. Caudle, J. A. Brasfield, and J. N. Ray;[30] 2) He purchased 100 acres adjoining Gilbert Patterson and A. Jones from G. W. and Elizabeth Campbell for $1,000. "A. Jones" was Abel Jones, a neighboring landowner who may've been the brother of Darling Jones. Elizabeth and G. W. Campbell were Gilbert's sister and brother-in-law.

Minnie Jones Tilghman and Norene Jones Yerger, daughters of Caroline Patterson Jones, used to describe visiting their Patterson grandparents often as young girls. The house was always so full of relatives that they had to sleep on pallets on the floor. They loved it! This home later burned to the ground. A stucco house now sits on the site.[31]

2 Oct 1889: Gilbert and Milly signed a joint will, Milly making her mark, but didn't actually have it recorded until 30 Jul 1891.

We, Gilbert Patterson and Milly Patterson do make and publish this as our last will and testament thereby revokin and void all other wills by us at any time made. First direct that our funeral expenses and all our debts be paid as soon as convenient out of first money coming in to the executor's hands after our deaths. Second we give and bequeath to our son A. J. Patterson one hundred acres of land it being the south fork of the 200 acre tract of land that we now live on to have and hold the same at our deaths. The balance of our property be divided among our legal heirs in the following named manner: Thomas Patterson’s heirs fifty cents, Gilbert Kemp fifty cents, Elizabeth Fowler’s heirs fifty cents. We direct that the balance of our estate be divided equally between the hereafter named: Sarah Thornton, Milly Davidson, W. C. Patterson, Robert Patterson, Louisa Davidson, Gilbert B. Patterson, J. W. Patterson, Cally Jones, A. J. Patterson. Last we do hereby nominate and appoint our executor in witness whereof we __ to our will set our hands and seal this ________ 1889.

1890: He was listed as one of the stockholders in the Weakley County Bank, Dresden, with a "branch office at Greenfield".[32]

13 Jan 1892: Mildred Campbell Patterson died. The Jones Bible recorded a date of 13 Feb 1892. In the Dresden Enterprise:

On Jan 13, 1892, death visited the residence of Gilbert Patterson and took away his loving companion, who was in her 82nd year. They had lived together 67 years. I have no doubt that they were the oldest couple living together in Weakley County. He is now in his 84th year. They raised a family of thirteen children all to be grown and married, except one son. There were seven sons and six daughters. Seven have crossed over the river of death. There are only two sons left - J. W. Patterson, of Sharon, and A. J. Patterson, of Greenfield. There is not another person living in the 9th District that was there when Esq. Patterson first settled in it one mile west of Greenfield, where he now lives. Mother Patterson said just a few hours before she expired that she had lived her days out, and was ready to go. I was by her bedside the last three days I had mother on earth. So I will say in conclusion: Father, brother, and sister, as we all know how our mother lived, let's imitate her example and meet her in heaven.[33] This must have been written by Sarah Patterson Thornton or Millie Patterson Davison. Louisa Patterson Davidson or Callie Patterson Jones are possible, but unlikely.

31 Mar 1893: Gilbert died in his home.[34] The Jones Bible has a date of 1 Apr 1893.

The sudden death of Mr. Gilbert Patterson near Greenfield on the 31st ult. removed from us one of the very few remaining pioneers of Weakley, whose life was co-extensive with the formation and development of the county. Mr. Patterson was 86 years old and had lived 63 years with his wife, who died in January 1892. He had been in this county about sixty years, and settled at the homestead near Greenfield many years ago, where he died. He was a very active spirit in the development of the county, and has many a time gone ten miles before breakfast to help a neighbor roll logs. Mr. Patterson held a warm place in the hearts of the people, bearing the same relation to his community that the late Reuben Edmonston did. He was long a consistent member of the Methodist church. He had several daughters and two sons, J. W. and A. J. Patterson, making his home with the latter. The old pioneer was active up [to] the day of his death. He had just returned from the field and taken a seat in the house, when he fell from his chair and soon expired from heart trouble.[35]

Both Gilbert and Milly are buried in Patterson Cemetery located 1/2 mile south of Greenfield Post Office, 12 miles south of Dresden. This cemetery was established by Esquire in 1838, but the first interment was not family. It has 300 graves on 3 acres.[36]

Sarah Patterson (9 Jan 1830 - 16 Sep 1899; m. Newton "Nute" M. Thornton 23 Sep 1869)

John Wesley Patterson (1 Jun 1846 - 16 Jan 1828; m. 1st Martha Pernela Heath 25 Jan 1866, m. 2nd Lamarie Jane Childress)

1836 Tax List, Henderson County, TN (District 11): Thomas was listed with 1 poll.[37]

1840 Census, Weakley County, TN: Thomas' household was listed with 1 male 5-10, 1 30-40; 2 females under 5, 1 20-30. They were enumerated next to [brother] Mark Patterson. There's another Thomas Patterson in Henry County, but that man, born in NC, had children named Nancy, Elizabeth, Samuel, and Clementine in 1850.

1842 Tax List, Weakley County, TN (District 9): 1 poll, 150 acres valued at $450. He was listed just below brother Gilbert Patterson. Both his acres and their estimated value remain substantially the same through 1851.

29 Aug 1850 Census, Weakley County, TN (District 9): Farmer T. Patterson 40, born TN, who cannot read or write, with real property valued at $450; Mary 38; farmer John 17, Mary 11, Elizabeth 17, William 3, Susan and Caroline age 9 months; Mary 79, born NC.[38] Was the latter woman Thomas' mother-in-law? And why was Elizabeth recorded out of age order? I believe the age is actually 7.

23 Apr 1851: Along with [brothers-in-law] G. W. Campbell and Samuel Baker, Thomas witnessed deeds from Mark to Mark Patterson Junior and from Mark to Riddle Patterson for parcels adjoining his own in District 13, R2 S5. Thomas signed with his mark.[39] Mark Patterson Senior was his father, Mark Junior and Riddle his brothers.

1858 Tax List, Weakley County, TN (District 9): 63 acres valued at $500, with capital of $60.

1859 Tax List, Weakley County, TN (District 9): 86 acres valued at $600. This acreage remained fixed through 1866 and its estimated value failed to show the rise so noticeable in those of his relatives and neighbors.

3 Aug 1860 Census, Marion County, AR (Sugarloaf Township, Dubuque P.O.): Farmer Thomas Patterson 50, born TN, with real and personal property valued at $1,000 and $715; Hannah 27, born AR; Frances 16, born TN; William [middle initial illegible] 13, born TN; Caroline 11, born TN; Andrew J. 4 [or 6] born AR; Charles 2, born AR; James R. 1, born AR; Malinda Wood 17; Nancy C. Wood 15.[40] Could Malinda and Nancy C. Wood have been Hannah's sisters? Son John Patterson 26, born TN, with personal property worth $200, was enumerated next door in the household of farmer William W. Bruce.

I've been unable to locate Thomas in the 1870 Census - A shame, since that census might offer clarification of his wives.

24 May 1874: Thomas married Talitha (or Tabitha) Mounce Cowen, widow of James Martin Cowen. Talitha was born 18 Nov 1835 in Springfield, IL.[41]

21 Jun 1880 Census, Madison County, AR (Boston Township): Farmer Thomas Patterson 70, TN __ __; Tabitha 44, IL KY KY; son Price 18, AR TN __; Moses 11, AR, TN __; Thomas M. 4, AR TN IL.[42]

16 Jun 1890: Thomas died and was buried in Buckhorn Cemetery, Newton County, AR. On his tombstone: "Aged 80 years 2 months 13 days". Although buried in Newton County, he apparently lived just over the line in Johnson County.

Thomas' marriages were many and confusing. The order was supposedly: 1) Mary Bacchus; 2) Hannah Woods, 1832 - c. 1868, daughter of George and Nancy Croker Woods; 3) unknown spouse, mother of one child before her marriage to Thomas ended in divorce; and 4) Talitha or Tabitha Mounce Cowen, widow of James Martin Cowen and mother of three children by him.

11 Sep 1844: Samuel witnessed a deed from N. W. and D. E. Jones to [Frances' brother] Gilbert Patterson in Weakley County.[50]

1847 Tax List, Weakley County, TN: Samuel was assessed for 200 acres valued at $400. His holdings vary slightly but increase in value through 1851. There is then a gap through 1857.

25 Feb 1848: He purchased 244 acres for $550 from N. K. and D. E. Jones in Weakley. The parcel adjoined [Frances' brother-in-law] W. G. Campbell and Silas Kemp.[51] Silas Kemp married Frances' niece Mary Ann Patterson.

28 Dec 1848: He bought 50 acres for $56.50 from N. K. and D. E. Jones. The parcel was described as adjoining Able Jones, John Jenkins, William Hays, and Sam's own land.[52] Abel Jones was probably the brother of Darling Jones.

Baker 41, born in VA, with real estate valued at $550; Francis age 38, born in TN; Martin 18, William 15, John 14, Mark 12, Charles 10, Riddle 10, Mary 8, Franklin 4, James 6, and Jefferson 2. All are listed as farmers. The S. M. Kemp family was enumerated next door.[53]

23 Apr 1851: Along with G. W. Campbell and Thomas Paterson, Samuel witnessed deeds from Mark Pattison to Riddle Pattison and from Mark Senior to Mark Junior.[54] Thomas was Frances' brother, Mark Patterson Senior was her grandfather, Mark Junior her uncle, and Riddle another uncle.

5 May 1885: Samuel died and was buried beside Frances in Patterson Cemetery.[60]

William Baker (2 Apr 1834 - 4 Aug 1908; m. Nancy Angeline Hillis 4 Feb 1847)

Daniel Riddle Baker (12 Jan 1840 - 12 Oct 1921; m. Sarah Caroline Kemp 5 May 1863) See photo.

* Mary, Isaac, Ellen, and Louisa were not listed in the family bible. In 1865, Samuel was shown holding land for the "Kemp heirs". Could these children actually be Kemps? Or were the Bakers just very inconsistent at entering their numerous children in the family bible? There are also several entries in the Baker Family Bible that couldn't have been the children of Frances Patterson Baker as they were born after 1863, when Frances turned 50. At least two entries, Samuel Thomas and Mary Clementine, are the children of son James Robert. But who was the unnamed child born on 8 Apr 1862 and who was Samuel Robert Baker? The latter "Bob" Baker (1 Mar 1872 - 28 Feb 1952) is buried in Brock Cemetery.[61]

8 Jul 1814: George Washington Campbell was born in Tennessee.[62] He was often called "Wash".

23 Aug 1815: Elizabeth Patterson was born in Tennessee.[63] Loretta Insco believes that she was born in Robertson County.

1840 Census, Henderson County, TN: George W. Campbell was listed with 2 males under 5, 1 20-30; 1 female under 5, 1 20-30. They were enumerated close to the family of Thomas Campbell, who listed a 60-70 year old male listed in his household.[65]

The G. W. Campbell who appeared in the 1842-1843 Tax Lists in Weakley County (District 2) was probably not our "Wash", but was instead the recently deceased and wealthy G. W. Campbell of Nashville.

27 Mar 1847: "George W. Campbell" purchased 100 acres in Weakley County from D. E. and N. K. Jones for $216. The parcel adjoined [Elizabeth's brother] Gilbert Patterson and [Elizabeth's brother-in-law] Samuel Baker.[66]

1847 Weakley County Tax List (District 9): 100 acres valued at $200. He was listed in the tax lists of Weakley County through 1866, his holdings remaining the same 100 acres, gradually increasing in value. In these tax rolls, he was occasionally listed as "Washington Campbell".

23 Apr 1851: Along with [brother-in-law] Thomas Patterson and Samuel Baker, G. W. witnessed deeds from [father-in-law] Mark Patterson to [brother-in-law] Riddle Patterson and from Mark Senior to Mark Junior in Weakley County.[67]

1842 Tax List, Weakley County, TN: Mark was listed with 1 poll and 48 acres valued at $115.

1844 Tax List, Weakley County, TN: 48 acres valued at $120 His holdings remain substantially the same through 1851.

This parcel was part of the 224 acre tract formerly belonging to Edward Kemp and adjoining the dower interest belonging to the widow Alby A. Kemp. Gilbert Patterson, Justice of the Peace, took the oath of Elizabeth C. Kemp on 23 Sep 1871. But how can that date be correct?[77]

15 Jun 1880 Census, Weakley County, TN (District 9): Farmer age 61, born in TN; Martha age 61, born in VA, suffering from "rheumatism"; Martha A. 28; black farm laborer Marion Sanford 21.[78] Enumerated next to them are [son and daughter-in-law] William R. and Winnie Patterson.

William R. Patterson (10 Dec 1844 - 21 Feb 1920; m. Winican Melissa Covington 30 Nov 1867)

Robert Patterson (7 Jan 1850 - Oct 1879; m. Martha Armanda Feliciann Covington)

17 Aug 1820: Charles R. Patterson was born in Robertson County, TN.[82] Some sources give his middle name as "Riddle"; Virginia Stephenson believes it was more likely "Rice", but doesn't state why.

22 Jan 1823: Sarah L. Campbell was born in Tennessee, parents unknown. According to the 1880 Census, they were both born in Virginia, supporting the belief that she was the sister of George Washington Campbell and Mildred Campbell Patterson.

7 Nov 1850 Census, Henderson County, TN: Farmer Charles B. Patterson 28, born in TN, with real estate valued at $150; Sarah L. 25; Lucy L. 7, William 5, and Elizabeth 4. The family is living next to [parents] Mark and Dicy Patterson.[83]

They were enumerated next to [brother-in-law and sister] Morgan and Sarah Patterson Gilham.[86] Charlotte was actually their daughter-in-law, the wife of son Thomas Gilbert Patterson. If the ages are correct, neither Charlotte nor Mary could have been the mother of Frances Haney. Whose child was she? William Rhoads was probably related to the Sarah Rhoades who married son Charles Riddle Patterson and/or the Silas Rhoades who married daughter Mary Emaline.

7 May 1881: Sarah Campbell Patterson died. On 23 May 1881: Charles wrote a letter to his brother Thomas, who had moved to Arkansas.[87] The original spelling has been retained, but I've modernized the punctuation for easier flow.
