I have seen post by Matt R dated 12 April 2012 stating that he is descended from John Patterson and Elizabeth Whyte. I also am descended from this John and Elizabeth and am trying to find out more about the Patterson family. I am unable to contact Matt myself to find out more from him.
My ancestor is their son John born 1838. He married a Jane Ramsay and immigrated to New Zealand in 1875. I have reached a brickwall finding out more about their children and life in New Zealand, other than their daughter Helen Ramsay Patterson, who there is some info on but not enough to help me with my research.
I would love to hear from anyone who knows of this family.
Thanks,
Leah
