Amasa Alexander Patterson, b 1764 is the son of Alexander Patterson, b 1705. He is the father of Alexander Patterson b. 1797, grandfather of Alexander Seymour Patterson and great grandfather of William Turner Patterson, not father. William Turner is my great-grandfather.

According to the Barbour Collection records for Amasa, he did have a son named William who was born in 1786, but William's birth record does not show a middle name.

You are correct Lou. Amasa Alexander Patterson was the son of William Patterson and grandson of Alexander Patterson, b 1705.

I corrected William Alexander to Alexander. I'd found some information that Alexander, born in 1705 was sometimes referred to as William so I listed his name as William Alexander. I think that's where all the confusion began. There were a lot of Alexander's and Williams in my family history, so it's been a job to sort them all out. The two names have been carried down as far as my brother, born in 1956.

Patterson-19049 and Patterson-9649 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth and death dates, same name but with first and middle names reversed. Looking at the Sources section of the Patterson-19049 profile, it appears that Alexander Amasa Patterson (1764-1818) was attributed to the wrong father and generation by an Ancestry hint. He could not have been the son of William Alexander Patterson (1705-abt.1746) because William Alexander Patterson died 16 years before he was born. Based on information in Amasa Alexander Patterson (1764-1818), it appears that this person was actually the grandson of William Alexander Patterson (1705-abt.1746) and his father was William Alexander Patterson (1705-abt.1746)'s son William Patterson (1734-1769).
