Descendants of Joseph Patterson and Sarah Simmons
Would like to correspond with anyone that has information on Joseph Patterson (1730 - 1809) who married Sarah Simmons (1731 - 1773) both born in Virginia and died in Stokes County, NC. They had 9 children and the family settled in the New Garden District of Guilford County. Eventually, their grandson, Joseph E. Patterson moved from that area to Overton County, TN before moving to Sangamon County, IL before finally settling in Iowa in 1836.
