I27299: Emma ALVIS (ABT 1867

Notes

"The Patton family origins have been traced to Scotland in the 18th century. They go back to a mysterious event that forced a young man to flee his native town of Aberdeen, Scotland, making his way to Fredericksburg, Virginia during the Revolutionary turmoil of the 1770's. The young man's real name was wiped from the records upon his departure from Scotland. He probably had reason to obscure it to prevent the authorities from tracking him down in the New World. He traveled under the assumed name of "Robert Patton". He became rich and respectable in the Colonies and married Anna Gordon Mercer, the only daughter of Dr. Hugh Mercer, a physician who served as an Army Surgeon with Colonel George Washington in the Braddock Expedition against Fort Duquesne in 1756. General Mercer later was Surgeon-General in the Revolutionary War of Independence.

Robert Patton and Anna Mercer Patton bore John Mercer Patton. John Patton married Margaret French Williams. One of the sons of John and Margaret was the first George Smith Patton."

Children:
2 Robert PATTON (1795-1827)
2 Hugh Mercer PATTON (-1846)
2 John Mercer PATTON Hon. (1797-1858) sp-Margaret French WILLIAMS
2 William Farlie PATTON sp-Harriet Sheperd BURK
2 Eleanor Anne PATTON (1805-1890) sp-John James CHEW (1806-1870
2 Margaretta PATTON (1810-1852) sp-John Minor HERNDON (1808-1871)

"Robert Patton left Scotland with a price on his head of 50 lbs. On the ship he was on to Burmuda he met up with a Patton whom was ill and did die. In this case he took the man's name. On his death bed his wife asked him what his real name was after being here in the U.S. for many years and he told her that " he lived a Patton he would die one" so he never told who he really was. This story came from George S. Patton's sister Ruth. Now just like other stories being handed down in a family, there has to be some truth to it as Robert died in 1828 but then on the other hand after all these years there has never been anything to prove it wrong. His real name has never been found just like the Patton who died on his way from Scotland." Src: http://members.aol.com/M55442/gsp.htm.
