Margaret was the daughter of a Scots-Irish immigrant named William Baskin and Mary Stuart. She was probably born in Pennsylvania about 1735. The family emigrated to the valley of Virginia about 1745, settling near what is now Staunton, Virginia, in 1747. By 1765 the family had moved to the Ninety-six District of South Carolina.[1]
Margaret married John Patterson in the Ninety-six or Abbeville district of South Carolina about 1775.[2]
John was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.[3] After the war John received land in Baldwin County, Georgia, and finally the family moved to Elbert County, Georgia. John wrote a will on March 19, 1808 naming wife Margaret, and children William, Frances, James, Robert, Samuel, John, Elizabeth, Thomas, George, and Alexander.[4]
Margaret Baskin Patterson has a memorial on Find A Grave.[5]
