Patterson Lands 1848-1894 in Michigan
I'm still trying to find more information on g-g-grandfather: Joseph Patterson (b. 1793). He came from Ireland at age 19 and married Katrine (Catherine) Jagger (daughter of Stephen and Sarah Jagger)in Orange County, New York. They had eight children before moving to Michigan in 1848. Mary Patterson married Charles Ellworth and lived on 80 acres on the NorthEast of Devil's Lake in a nice house.
Other sons, Joseph F. and William L. Patterson lived on acreage further east on this land in Woodstock Township (Lenawee County) Michigan. My g-grandfather (Robert C. Patterson) moved westward to Hillsdale County. I still haven't learned what ever happened to all this land.
In 1893 John J Patterson has sections 25, 35, 36; 236 acres; five buildings valued at $4500; acreage valued at $50 an acre; value of land and improvements: $11, 800; 161 acres were improved; 60 acres were timbered; 3 acres were orchard. John had married Eliza Ellsworth and she inherited the land from her Grandfather Nehemiah Hand. That's why I wonder if any of these people are buried in the Hand Cemetery in Woodstock.
In 1893, William Patterson's land was in section 36; 80 acres; 6 buildings valued at $1000; acreage value: $50 an acre; value of land and improvements: $4,000; 62 improved acres; 18 timbered acres; 3 acres of orchard.
Joseph F. Patterson married Lucy Hollen. I don't know where they moved. Catherine Patterson married Theron Andrews and moved to Scranton, Kansas. CLICK HERE for more information on this family.
