Biography

Mary was born about 1837 in Ireland.[1] She was the daughter of James Patton and Sarah Armstrong. She died in 1915 and is buried at Necropolis Cemetery in Toronto.[2] Here is the Necropolis Cemetery Record.[3]

She probably died in 1915 since there is a grave marker with her name on the plot owned by her father James at the Necropolis Cemetery in Toronto. It's possible that this is her brother George Stewart's wife.[4]

Research Notes

Mary Patton (42, b. Ireland, Irish) and her brother, George S. Patton (48, b. Ireland, Irish, Clerk), are documented in the 1881 Canada Census in St. John's, Toronto, Ontario. They are living with Sarah J. Reynolds (45, widow, b. Ireland, Irish), James P Reynolds (22, b. Ontario, Irish, bookkeeper) and Mary Reynolds (21, b. Ontario, Irish).[1]

Mary Patton (50) is documented in the 1891 Canada Census, living with her brother, George Patton (60), in St. Thomas Ward, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Both are born in Ireland of Irish parents. Both are Church of England.[5]

She may or may not be the Mary living in the household of James Patton in the 1871 Canada Census. That Mary might be the spouse of one of her brothers.[6]

Mary Patton is living with her nephew Henry B Gordon and his family in Toronto in 1991. She is shown as the "aunt". Henry was her niece's (Mary Reynold's) husband, now a widow. Mary Reynolds had died before this date. Mary's age is incorrect (52, should be 62).[7]
