• Notes

  !NOTES:Marty Grant's 5th Great Grandmother, if she is indeed the widow of Samuel Patterson, which isn't entirely proven.; !REFERENCE: https://www.martygrant.com/genealogy/patterson/patterson-samuel-buncombe.html !NOTES:I have no solid proof that Elizabeth was Samuel's wife, but she fits for a few reasons (and doesn't fit for at least one reason): (1) Samuel's wife is otherwise unidentified, and Elizabeth's husband is otherwise unidentified. (2) Samuel died in the 1820's, and Elizabeth appears on the 1830 census with the same neighbors Samuel had, thus showing they lived in the same specific area. (3) Elizabeth fits age-wise with Samuel's apparent wife from 1800 and 1820. She does NOT fit with Samuel's 1810 census entry, but census errors like this are common. (4) Elizabeth, or someone her age, is with Samuel Jr in 1840. Samuel Jr is a likely, but unproven, son of Samuel Sr. (*) None of the above is conclusive proof, but compelling circumstantial evidence in my opinion.; !CENSUS:1790; !CENSUS:1800 Rutherford Co., NC p. 135 Samuel Patterson age 26-44 (1755/74) 20010-20010-0-0 My Analysis (who each person *might* be): 1m 26-44 (1755/1774) Samuel Patterson (1765/74) 2m 0-9 (1790/1800).. 1-Matthew Patterson (c1790) son .................... 2-William Patterson (c1795) son 1f 26-44 (1755/1774) Elizabeth (---) Patterson (1770/74) wife 2f 0-9 (1790/1800).. 1-Dau?
