I have William A. Patton in my database he is my 4th Great Grandfather.I have his date of birth as 10/15/1818, and married to a Ms. Clayton.
I also have him as the son of James Patton, born in South Carolina in 1735.He died in Winchester, MS on 8/9/1822.Some time ago, another reseacher told me that James Patton was a friend of Thomas Jefferson, and Jefferson had sent him into the Mississippi Territory to survey it after it was acquired by the United States in the Lousianna Purchase.
I would be happy to trade information with you.
