Book Description

Excerpt from John Patton and His Descendants In this writing we have not attempted to trace the families of the other brothers or nephews, (we are not sure which they were) of John Patton, who came to Tennessee, at or near the same time. One of these, David Patton, settled at Bradyville in Rutherford County. The other whose name we think was Rob ert, settled on the north side of the Cumberlandriver, near Springfield. We have made a number of inquiries in an effort to find who were John Patton's parents and his connection with other branches of the Patton family, but we have nothing thus far that we can give as reliable. An effort has been made to obtain pictures of all the members of the second and third generations, but we have been able to obtain only those here presented. It would have been gratifying to us if we could have had a picture of each member of John Patton's descendants, but that would have added much to the delay in getting out the work and very largely to the cost. If in the future such a work should be desired it could be gotten out. We append some blank leaves to this book for recording the births, marriages and deaths in each family as they occur in the future and also to cor rect any mistakes which may have been made in this history, so that it may serve as a complete record for each family. Then if at any future time it should be desired to make another edition of the history the data would be easy to obtain.
