“Interesting News From Route Six---Friends calling at my home have told me that Robert Patterson Sr., is dead. I have known him all my life. He married a neighbor girl of ours, Miss Alice Duggan, in February 1875. After Alice died he married another neighbor girl of ours, Miss Rachel McConkey. Rachel died and he married Mrs. Belle Giles Patterson. Robert and Alice Duggan Patterson had a daughter, Miss Bettie A. Patterson, who married Charlie Stephens. Bettie and Charlie went to Texas several years ago. Robert and Rachel Patterson were the parents of several children, two little twins died in infancy. Sammie also died in infancy. Luther died sometime during 1933; Henry, Laura, Wesley and Oscar are still living. Robert Patterson was the youngest son of George and Susan Garren Patterson, both of whom are dead. George and Susan Patterson raised a large family of children, all of whom are now dead. Their daughters were Lucretia (Mrs. John Gibson), Phoebe (Mrs. William Henderson), Caroline (Mrs. John Patterson), Jane (Mrs. Newton Rogers), Savilla (Mrs. John Stephens). After John died, Savilla married James Tallent. Eliza (Mrs. Lem Newcomb), Susan (Mrs. John Rogers), J. Madison, Washington, Leander and Robert Patterson. The surviving children of Robert Patterson all seem very near and dear to me.”---Georgia A. Stakely, February 7, 1934.
