Part 1

"...William Craven Patterson, who was born April 5th, 1841, in Union County was one of the five sons who enlisted and served throughout the war in Co. D 57th Ga., Regiment, and was honorably discharged in 1865.His skill with a fife was such that instead of having a bugler, he was made "Fifer" for his company. His fife was one he had bought with the first money he made when he was a boy. At his death, the fife was buried with him at the request of his wife.

He was married October 23, 1867, to Elizabeth D. Cooper, daughter ofWilliam M. Cooper, once Sheriff of Wilkinson County, and a noted Primitive Baptist minister who served Camp Creek Church in Baldwin County; Ramah, Mt. Carmel and probably other churches in Wilkinson fo rseveral

years. Their children were: Sarah M., m. S.R. Brown; Mattia A., m. L.J.Fountain; Cora I., m. A.N. Torrence;Mary E., m. C.B. Ivey; Gattie W., Lula E., m. James Wheeler..."
