Patton/Largent tie
Would like to confirm that James A. Patton married Mary/Lina Largent in Shelby County, Illinois on 5 Sept. 1877.
Also need to confirm/disprove that Mary Largent was a daughter of Josiah Largent.This is my conjecture.
Apparently James and Mary had 5 kids.
This is not my line but am trying to fill holes.
Submit the following for Patton folk.
James A. Patton, son of James H. bc 1822. Va, and Lydia Unknown, bc1828, Ohio
James A. bc Mar. 1853, Illinois, Mary/Lina/Sina Oct. 1854, Indiana
Kids=
Charles Emerson H. Patton, Dec. 1879
Sidney L., male, May 1886
Helen, Aug. 1894
All born in Illinois.
1900 census states that Mary was mother of 5 kids, and that 2 of them had died by then.Do not know those names.
Between 1894 and 1900 the family had migrated to Acadia County, Louisiana and farmed.
This may have been where Mary Died because in the 1910 census James was married (abt1907)to a second wife named Martha A. Unknown.She was born abt. 1862 in Louisiana and this was her first marriage.
James and Martha had a daughter bc 1908 but I could'nt make out the name.
In 1910 James and Martha were living in Rapides County, Louisiana.
Hope this helps someone.
