Notes: The earliest date for the John Patterson in Cumberland County, NC is 1753, for land he was granted on Cross Creek. This John Patterson may be related to the other Pattersons of Cumberland County, but he is associated with a Duncan Patterson in an existing Bladen County deed dated 1768. See John's will of 1769. I suspect John and Catherine Patterson had a second son named John Patterson, but this is pure speculation. Catherine remarried shortly after John's death to a son of Duncan and Christian Smith Campbell, who had two sons, Archibald and Hugh. Hugh moved to South Carolina by 1802, and Archibald is associated with land on Drowing Creek in the 1770s.
