Note INTERNET SOURCE: William Patton M.A. Author: Don Patton Date: 25 Feb 2001 Message David: Several people from different branches of the Patton family including my own have very complete listings of the descendants of William Patton. There was also a book writen by Patricia Givens Johnson a Historian from Virginia Tech University entitiled "James Patton and Appalachian Colonists" which traces some of William Patton's descendants. I used this book to confirm my descent from William Patton. William Patton had two son's Henry Patton and John Patton. John's descendants are not known but Henry Patton had a son also named Henry Patton jr. Henry Patton Jr. had a son named John Patton Sr. He was the brother of Col. James Patton. This is all according to the Dr. Johnson Book. From here my lineage is recorded in the Mormon Genealogy records. John Patton Sr. born John Patton Jr. who in turn Born James Henery Patton and etc. down to myself. This is well noted in census records. Also according to the Book writen by Dr. Johnson William Patton's direct descendants did settle in Floyd Co. Kentucky and achieve prominence. My 4th Great Grandfather was the first sherriff and Gentleman Justice of Floyd County Ky. Note: Rev. William1 PATTON; born circa 1590 in Ferrochie, Fifeshire, Scotland; married Margaret (--?--) circa 1620; died January 31, 1641/42 in Clondevadock, Clonmany, Donegal, Ireland. [1] He immigrated before 1626 to County Donegal, Ireland.[2],[3],[4] He was Rector of the parishes of Ramoigh and Clonmary, the Barony of Raphoe and later at Aughnish, the Barony of Kilmacrenan after 1626. He lived after 1626 in Ireland. From "James Patton and the Appalachian Colonists" by Patricia Givens Johnson: The Pattons were originally landed gentry seated at Ferrochie, Fifeshire, Scotland. The progenitor of the Irish branch of the family, William Patton, M.A. was born in Scotland; had immigrated to Northern Ireland during the King James Plantation. He was in County Donegal by 1626 as Rector of the parishes of Ramoigh and Clonmary, Barony of Raphoe and later at Aughnish, Barony of Kilmacrenan. Rev. William Patton and his wife, Margaret, made their home at an estate called "Groghan" and reared to sons, Henry (Sr.) and John. From " Coming to America; A Chronicle of the American Lineage of the Pattons" by C. L. Patton,Springfield, Illinois, 1954: It seems certain that the various Pattons settling in Augusta County, VA, in the early part of the eighteenth century, were of the same origin, the father of whom was John Patton, brother of Colonel James Patton and Elizabeth Patton Preston. Colonel James had come from Ireland in 1730. Probably one of the compelling reasons for the mass migration at this time was the forced exile of John Lewis in 1729. He was a brother-in-law of Henry Patton, having married Margaret Lynn, sister of Henry's wife, Sarah Lynn. They were daughters of the Laird of Loch Lynn (Linnhe). John Lewis first took up his residence in Philadelphia but he soon went into Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, purchasing several tracts of land in that county but later moving on to the Shenandoah Valley in VA.

Research Note

The parents attached to this profile are Gratian Patten and his wife, Elizabeth Coillis, who are both from England:

William was born about 1600. He is the son of Gratian Patten and his wife, Elizabeth Coillis.

Marriage of Parents:

Husband: Gratian Patten

Wife: Elizabeth Coillis

Child: William Patton

Child: William Patton

Marriage: 29 Aug 1598 St Martin Ludgate, London, England^[5]

This does not fit with the information in this biography that William's family were local landed gentry in Scotland. The marriage of Gratian and Elizabeth took place in 1598 and ended in 1603 and there is no evidence that they were ever in Scotland. If there is no proof that they are the parents, they should be detached and William and his brother, Thomas, should be provided with an unknown father to keep them together.
