If you will email [email protected], she has some information that you might be interested in...She was kind enough to mail information about William Patton to me, and she also sent the following information - hoping to hear from you:
Off the subject, there was another person on that Forum using the name Roland Robbins who was asking about a Robert Patton b. in 1804, d 1864. I wanted to send him an email as well because I have something special for him. I found the hidden, abandoned cemetery back in 1992 with this Robert Patton and his family behind a private home in Patton's Run, Belmont, Ohio and with their permission, I copied down the info from the remaining pile of broken stones heaped under 4 ft tall weeds... but I have not been able to post on the Patton forum and the forum did not email my info when I requested it. So, if you can post to him and give him this message, I'll be happy to provide the info I have from that cemetery. Based on the family info on the census records for Pease, Belmont, Ohio for this family, I suspect about 20 or 30 other stones were missing and probably hauled off or plowed under as I suspect the entire cemetery has been since I was there 16 years ago, so this is probably the only record of the cemetery other than the couple historical sites in the area I sent the info to. The homeowner had no interest or knowledge about the cemetery. It was just forgotten about under the weeds and I would not have found the cemetery if I had not pulled offthe highway when I saw the Patton's Run sign and was lucky enough to find a neighbor walking along the road who took me to the house and asked the owners to allow me to go behind their house.
I hope you get this!!!!...
