Gary Patton's Family Tree Project
I am a family historian not a genealogist. I have been researching the Patton Family History and other connected families since 1980. I am fascinated by family history, and find it a privilege to help others understand their past.

The Tale O’ William Patton
In the Orkney Isles, where the wild winds blaw,
A lad named William, wi' dreams in aw,
At fourteen years, he left the shore,
A cabin boy, seekin' so much more.
### Chorus
Och, William Patton, the sea's yer hame,
Frae Orkney winds to the ocean's maim,
Across the waves, ye sailed sae free,
But the Southern winds, they called to thee.
Frae Viking blood, his line did flow,
Frae Normandy’s shores, where battles grow,
In 1066, they heard the cry,
To William the Conqueror, they did fly.
### Chorus
Och, William Patton, the sea's yer hame,
Frae Orkney winds to the ocean's maim,
Across the waves, ye sailed sae free,
But the Southern winds, they called to thee.
For five hunner years, they stood sae braw,
Frae England’s fields tae the castle’s law,
Then north they wandered in sixteen-hun,
Tae Scotland’s glens where their tale begun.
### Chorus
Och, William Patton, the sea's yer hame,
Frae Orkney winds to the ocean's maim,
Across the waves, ye sailed sae free,
But the Southern winds, they called to thee.
Two hunner years, they made their hame,
'Til William sailed on a southern flame,
On the 27th o’ January, in eighteen-forty-six,
He landed in Port Phillip, wi' dreams and bricks.
### Chorus
Och, William Patton, the sea's yer hame,
Frae Orkney winds to the ocean's maim,
Across the waves, ye sailed sae free,
But the Southern winds, they called to thee.
Frae Port Phillip Bay, where the city now stands,
Tae Upper Plenty’s bonnie lands,
He swung his hammer, laid the rail,
On Comet Village, Sawmills, and Tramway’s trail.
### Chorus
Och, William Patton, the sea's yer hame,
Frae Orkney winds to the ocean's maim,
Across the waves, ye sailed sae free,
But the Southern winds, they called to thee.
On Melbourne's tracks, his hands were strong,
Buildin' the line where the trains belong,
Tae Sydney’s toon, the steel would run,
Under the burnin' Australian sun.
### Chorus
Och, William Patton, the sea's yer hame,
Frae Orkney winds to the ocean's maim,
Across the waves, ye sailed sae free,
But the Southern winds, they called to thee.
### Bridge
Noo in the south, where the winds do moan,
William Patton found his own,
Far frae the isles where his journey began,
A Scottish lad, noo a workin' man.
### Final Chorus
Och, William Patton, the sea's yer hame,
Frae Orkney winds to the ocean's maim,
Across the waves, ye sailed sae free,
But the Southern winds, they called to thee.
### Outro
So raise a dram to the lad who fled,
Frae Orkney’s shores tae the life he led,
William Patton, his name we sing,
A Scottish heart, wi' a builder's wing.
### Final Verse
Frae Normandy’s fields tae England’s shores,
For five hunner years, they settled the scores,
To William the Conqueror’s call they came,
And Patton’s line forever gained its name.
In Scotland’s glens, two hunner mair,
'Til Australia called in eighteen-forty-six.
Och, William Patton, a journey grand,
Frae Viking blood tae this southern land.
His name endures, through history’s sang,
A legacy built, both bold and strang.
In the Orkney Isles, where the wild winds blaw,
A lad named William, wi' dreams in aw,
At fourteen years, he left the shore,

Another clue to my heritage that I didn’t totally realize until I got older and started researching my Scottish Family History was that we, as kids all learnt the “Pride of Erin” at the regular dances at the Longwood Mechanics Institute.
Our heritage leaves clues, we just need to look for them.

From calling my Great Grandfather “Dar” to myself having a Scottish / Gaelic name, our family history not only defines where we came from but in many ways who we are.
Gary Ian Patton
The name "Ian" is of Scottish origin and is the Scottish Gaelic form of the name "John." The name "John" itself comes from the Hebrew name "Yohanan," which means "God is gracious" or "gift of God."
### Key Origins and Development:
1. **Hebrew Roots:** The name "Yohanan" (יוֹחָנָן) is a Hebrew name that appears frequently in the Bible and was common among Jews in ancient times. It means "God is gracious" or "God has shown favor."
2. **Greek and Latin Influence:** The Hebrew "Yohanan" was adapted into Greek as "Ioannes" and then into Latin as "Iohannes." This form of the name became widespread across Europe through the influence of the Christian church.
3. **John in English:** In English, "Ioannes" evolved into "John," which became one of the most common names in Christian and Western cultures.
4. **Scottish Gaelic Adaptation:** The Scots adopted the name from its Old French form "Jean" (which also derives from "Iohannes"). In Scottish Gaelic, the name became "Iain," which is pronounced "Ian." Over time, "Ian" became a popular given name in Scotland and beyond.
Today, Ian is a widely used name, particularly in English-speaking countries, and retains its connection to the original meaning of "God is gracious."

It’s intriguing to explore how ancient beliefs and modern scientific discoveries intersect, particularly when it comes to understanding life and longevity. Though I no longer follow religious doctrines, I still find a deep spiritual connection with the mysteries of existence and how these ideas have evolved over time.
The Bible, for instance, has several passages that suggest the days of our lives are known or even predetermined by a higher power. Psalm 139:16 talks about how “all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be,” reflecting the belief that our lives unfold according to a divine plan. Similarly, Job 14:5 mentions, “A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.” This idea, that our lifespan is somehow set, resonates with ancient views of destiny and the divine.
On the other hand, modern science, particularly in the field of genetics, has revealed how our DNA significantly influences various aspects of our lives, including how long we might live. Research into genes like FOXO3 and the length of our telomeres—protective caps at the ends of chromosomes—suggests that our longevity could be, at least in part, written in our genetic code. This scientific perspective adds a new layer of understanding to the age-old question of how our lives are shaped.
What fascinates me is how these ancient beliefs about life’s predestination now seem to find an echo in the language of modern genetics. For example, Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 speaks of a time for everything, including “a time to be born and a time to die,” while modern science tells us that certain genetic markers might influence the timing of these life events.
This convergence of spiritual belief and scientific discovery raises interesting questions. While the Bible might suggest that “The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty, if we have the strength” (Psalm 90:10), science offers a nuanced view, suggesting that some might live longer due to their genetic makeup.
Even though I approach these ideas from a spiritual rather than a religious standpoint, I find it fascinating how they seem to align in some ways. Whether seen through the lens of ancient wisdom or modern science, the idea that our lives are interconnected with a larger framework is both profound and thought-provoking.

In over 40 years researching my family history and that of others I’ve experienced moments similar to this, people finding their Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Grandparents and yes, even their Fathers and I never tire of the joy that it brings to people. ❤️❤️❤️

Robert the Bruce, known as the King of Scots, ascended to the throne on March 25, 1306. Scotland remained a sovereign nation for approximately 401 years until the Acts of Union in 1707, which united Scotland and England to form the Kingdom of Great Britain.
His Australian descendants come through his daughter Marjorie, born to his first wife, Isabella of Mar.
The Acts of Union 1707 were two parliamentary acts: one by the Parliament of England and one by the Parliament of Scotland. These acts unified the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland into a single, sovereign state known as the Kingdom of Great Britain. The union came into effect on May 1, 1707, and it resulted in the creation of a single parliament at Westminster, the dissolution of the separate English and Scottish parliaments, and the establishment of a united economic and political framework.

The Legacy of Captain Robert M. Patton
Born in 1715 in the tumultuous region of Londonderry, Northern Ireland, Captain Robert M. Patton's life was one of adventure and legacy. A man of valor, Robert served as a captain, leading his men with distinction. In 1746, he found his heart's anchor in Virginia, where he married Charity Isabella Lightsky, a remarkable woman of Cherokee descent.
Charity was born in 1724 in North Carolina, and her union with Robert symbolized the merging of diverse cultural heritages. Together, they embarked on a journey that would see the birth of thirteen children, each a testament to their enduring legacy. Their children, born between 1734 and 1770, were the seeds of a lineage that spread across America.
Tragically, Robert's life was cut short in 1772, leaving Charity to navigate the challenges of the frontier alone. She moved in with their son James in Georgia, where she remained until her death in 1806. Despite the hardships, Charity's strength and resilience were evident as she actively participated in family and community affairs.
Their children carried forward the Patton legacy, settling in various states and contributing to the fabric of early American society. Here are the stories of their progeny:
1. Mary Patton ( -1788) - A pioneer in Virginia and North Carolina.
2. Elizabeth Patton (1744-1813) - Whose journey took her to Georgia.
3. Francis Patton (1746-1795) - A stalwart of Rockingham, Virginia.
4. Robert Logan Patton (1748-1813) - A pillar of Dysartville, North Carolina.
5. Margaret Patton (1749-1814) - Resting in Asheville, North Carolina.
6. William T. Patton (1750-1828) - A Georgia settler.
7. Mary Martha Patton (1753-1800) - Who found her home in Tennessee.
8. James Patton (1756-1806) - Who continued the family legacy in Tennessee.
9. Sarah Sallie Patton (1758-1820) - Whose life spanned across North Carolina

Title: From Vikings to Australia: The Odyssey of William Patton
In the misty fjords of ancient Scandinavia, the Patine family's story begins amidst the fierce warriors and seafarers known as the Vikings. With roots intertwined with the rugged landscapes and tumultuous seas, the Patines thrived as adventurers and traders, carving out their place in history.
Centuries before the Norman Conquest, the Patines made their mark in the fertile lands of Normandy, their Viking heritage blending seamlessly with the rich tapestry of Norman culture. Known as the Patines in Normandy, the family's name would undergo various spellings over the centuries, shaped by the winds of time and the shifting sands of history.
In a fateful twist of fate, they stood shoulder to shoulder with William the Conqueror during the invasion of England in 1066, their valor and loyalty earning them a place of honor among the new ruling elite. As a reward for their steadfast service, William awarded the Patine family lands, cementing their status as landed gentry in the new Norman order.
As centuries passed, the Patine family found themselves swept up in the tumult of the Scottish Protestant Clearances, a period of upheaval and displacement that saw many families forced to leave their ancestral homes. Seeking refuge from religious persecution and economic hardship, the Patines migrated from Scotland to Northern Ireland, where they found solace amidst the familiar landscapes and shared heritage of their Scottish brethren.
Among the descendants of this resilient clan was William Patton, a young man with dreams of adventure and discovery. Intent on exploring the New World and reconnecting with distant cousins who had settled in America, William embarked on a journey that would take him across oceans and continents.
Leaving Scotland aboard a ship as a cabin boy, William's voyage was fraught with peril and uncertainty. Press-ganged into service onboard a whaling ship bound for distant shores, he endured hardships and adversity on the high seas. Yet, when the ship finally docked in Hobart, Tasmania, William saw his chance for escape.
Seizing the opportunity, William slipped away from his captors and made his way to freedom. Determined to continue his journey to America, he sought passage aboard the ship Stratheden, bound for Port Phillip, which would later become the bustling metropolis of Melbourne.
Arriving in the land down under, William Patton found himself at the crossroads of opportunity and adventure. Here, amidst the rugged beauty of the Australian landscape, he forged a new path for himself and his descendants, carrying forth the proud name of Patton into the vast southern continent.
This retelling captures the epic odyssey of William Patton and the indomitable spirit of the Patine family's journey across oceans and continents, a testament to the enduring legacy of courage, resilience, and determination.

Chapter: Patton's, Vikings Who Conquered The World
As we traverse the historical landscape of the Patton family, their story intertwines with the broader tapestry of medieval England, offering insights into the socio-political dynamics, cultural shifts, and global events that shaped their journey. Amidst the lush fields of Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, England, where Richard "Barbour" Patten established roots, the Norman Conquest of 1066 serves as a backdrop—a seismic event that awarded the Patton ancestors lands from Duke William of Normandy, better known as "William The Conqueror."
The Patton saga unfolds against the canvas of medieval England, marked by the Battle of Hastings in 1066. This pivotal moment not only secured the Norman grip on England but also propelled families like the Pattons into prominence. Strategic marriages, such as Richard "Barbour" Patten's union with Margery, daughter of Sir William Brereton, illuminate the interconnected web of aristocratic alliances that defined medieval society.
William Waynflete's role as Lord Chancellor of England adds a layer of political significance to the Patton narrative. Born in Waynflete in 1398, Waynflete's era coincided with the tumultuous reigns of Henry V and Henry VI. His influence reached beyond familial pursuits, shaping the political and intellectual landscape of his time.
The Scottish branch of the Pattons introduces another dimension, reflecting the broader historical currents that swept across the British Isles. As John Paton of Dunfermline, John Paton of Muckart, and George Patton navigated the Scottish highlands, their lives intersected with the dynamic tapestry of Scottish history, including events like the Wars of Scottish Independence.
The medieval world was not merely a stage for familial pursuits but a complex arena where individuals, like the Pattons, navigated a landscape shaped by war, political intrigue, and cultural evolution. Their footsteps echo through the corridors of time, providing a microcosm of the broader historical forces that molded medieval England and Scotland.
In weaving the Patton narrative, we unravel a tale of resilience, adaptation, and influence—a story that extends beyond familial lines to become a reflection of the broader historical forces that shaped the medieval world. The Pattons, like the Vikings of old, conquered not only lands but also the currents of history, leaving an indelible mark on the narrative of medieval England.

In weaving the Patton narrative, we unravel a tale of resilience, adaptation, and influence—a story that extends beyond familial lines to become a reflection of the broader historical forces that shaped the medieval world. The Pattons, like the Vikings of old, conquered not only lands but also the currents of history, leaving an indelible mark on the narrative of medieval England.
In the heart of Chelmsford, England, the roots of the Patton family extend through the centuries, tracing back to Richard Patten of the venerable Patten House. As we embark on a journey through four decades of meticulous research, the tapestry of the Patton, Paton, Patoun, Patowne, and their various spellings unfurls.
Amidst the annals of history, the Patton lines weave a complex tale, with some branches remaining elusive, awaiting the touch of genealogical connection. Inserted into this narrative are the enigmatic "sons" of the "unlinked," each representing a distinct lineage within the comprehensive research, a puzzle awaiting resolution.
Nicholas Patten of Waynflete serves as a generational anchor, a crossroads where uncharted paths diverge. Some have found cohesion, joining the familial tapestry, while others linger as unresolved threads, challenging the researcher's quest for a common ancestor. Dates, meticulously added, promise to unveil the intricate web of intermarriages among the Paton/Patton families.
In the digital age, the DNA trail emerges as a crucial guide, revealing connections across oceans and continents. Families in Australia and the U.S.A. find their place within this grand tapestry through the strands of genetic heritage. The journey, however, is far from complete; in July 2022, the quest extends to the realm of Y DNA, an endeavor aimed at unraveling the remaining mysteries.
The Patton saga began in the crucible of the Battle of Hastings in 1066, where they distinguished themselves under the banner of Duke William of Normandy, known as "William The Conqueror" or "William The Bastard." The spoils of victory included coveted lands, bestowed upon the Patton family by their liege lord, forging a legacy that echoes through the corridors of time.
This is but the first chapter of an epic familial odyssey, where history, meticulous research, and the strands of DNA converge to unveil the rich tapestry of the Patton legacy.

Another line of relatives, this time the Paton Family who settled in New South Wales.
John Paton was the 8th Cousin (Twice Removed) of our William Patton who emigrated to Australia.
John and his family arrived in New South Wales onboard that Euphrates in 1855 from Markinch in Fifeshire Scotland and my research indicates that John is the 1st Cousin (6 Times Removed) of famous Captain John Patton (Covenanter) who was beheaded in Grassmarket in 1684.

A very fruitful last couple of days at home.
I have been able to connect the Patton Family in Maitland & Singleton areas of New South Wales to our "Greater Patton Family".
This branch of the family pre-dates the arrival of my own branch arriving in Australia by almost 30 years with John Patton arriving as a Convict onboard the Lord Eldon in 1817 and William Patton arriving onboard the StrathEden in 1846.
William was the 8th Cousin (Twice Removed) to John. William being born in Kirkwall on the Ornkey Islands and the family also living in South Leith & Edinburgh whilst John's family was from Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.
Their common ancestor being Richard Patten (d.1536) of London & his wife Grace Baskerville.

Imagine the surprise of a BillionGraves volunteer when she stepped into a circle of bushes at a cemetery in Indiana and saw this crying angel.
The original Angel of Grief was a sculpture created in 1894 by William Wetmore Story to adorn the grave of his wife, Emelyn Story, at Protestant Cemetery in Rome, Italy.
Story was a sculptor who had spent a lifetime creating beautiful works of art, but in the year following the loss of his wife, he lost interest in his work as he grieved. His children, hoping to rekindle an interest in life in their father, suggested that he create a sculpture for their mother’s grave.
Most angelic grave art inspires hope in the afterlife, but this sculpture touches on the pain of the loved ones left behind. Story himself wrote that “It represents the Angel of Grief, in utter abandonment, throwing herself with drooping wings and hidden face over a funeral altar. It represents what I feel. It represents Prostration. Yet to do it helps me.”
The Angel of Grief in Rome has become one of the most copied cemetery sculptures in the world. She even found her way inside the bushes at this obscure cemetery in Indiana.

What if you visit a place where you’re confronted with our history that turns out to be much different than the one you were always led to believe? How a fal...
As I delve deeper into my Patton Family History and discover through my Y-DNA and historical records that not only did we come from Scotland in 1846 but prior to that we were in England, Normandy and Scandinavia (Vikiings). The origin of our name is one of conjecture.
Bardsley in his "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames" (1901). He quotes Burke's historical matter and adds, as to Richard of Dagenham, "from him the Pattens of Bank Hall, Lancashire claim lineal descent." As to the origin of the name, Patten, he quotes Lower's "Patronymica Britianica" (1860) as being derived from the "son of Patrick, from the nickname Pat or Pate, the diminutive being Patt-in or Patt-en, v. Paton and Pattison. Bardsley dogmatizes "I do not assert that this is true or false. All I say is that the Scottish or North English Pattens have no local derivation but are sons of Patrick."
Meaning we venture to presume that Patten is not a "place-name" and that it is derived from Patrick.
Harrison in his "Surnames in the United Kingdom" (1918) referring to Paton, Patten, Pattin says that "the names are so common in the North of England that there must be another source beside the French name." His construction of the name follows Lower and Bardsley as coming from the old Teutonic base "Pato" which he says is "probably a diminutive of Patrick with the French
suffix "on."
Perhaps the latest of these erudite gentlemen and scholars, not willing to ' break with such illustrious authorities as Lower and Bardsley in pontificating as to Patrick, was throwing out a hint of "another source" in a possible origin of Patten as an occupation name, that is, what the man did for a living.
Pattens, wooden shoes or clogs had been in general use for hundreds of years as a substitute for leather in cold and wet occupations, even by priests on the stone floors of churches (vide Bardsley's reference to the period 1464 A.D. and also the use of pattens by gentlemen generally.
Such clogs were often made of aspen wood, as being the lightest obtainable.
There is a London guild of Patten makers which has come down from ancient days. It is well known that to this day thousands of peasants in France and the Low Countries habitually use pattens, for the same reasons that their remote ancestors did. But as authorities seem to favor a derivation from "pato" as a form of Patrick with a French termination "en" or "in" it is, of course, inevitable that we go along and not conjecture as to whether the Pattens were named from the wooden shoes or the wooden shoes named from the Pattens. To a layman, however, the word seems good old Anglo-Saxon, or perhaps, Norman, any way an occupation name.

Attention Patton / Patton Family Members around the world.
If we all only donate 10 Quid the Patten / Patton Family name can again breed life into this Church as William Patten, my 13th Great Grandfather did over 400 years ago.
c.c. The Old Church
Attention PATTON Family Relatives 🚨
The Old Church in Stoke Newington, England again needs the support of the Patten / Patton family.
William Patten, born about 1510 was my 13th Great Grandfather.
The Old Church is the only remaining Elizabethan church in London and one of the oldest in the country to have been built as an Anglican church.
It owes its origins to Stoke Newington’s sixteenth century Lord of the Manor, William Patten. In 1563 he decided to rebuild the old parish church, which had become almost derelict. You can see the date, and the motto ‘ab alto’ (‘from above’), above the main door.
The main surviving structure from Patten’s time is the south aisle which appears to have been designed as a private chapel for himself and his family. The red brickwork on the walls and the arcade separating the chapel from the nave date from Patten’s time.
Wouldn’t it be great if the Patten / Patton family could again help breathe life into this historic building

Britain during the period from 500 A.D. to 1066 A.D. During this time, Britain was inhabited by various Celtic tribes and was invaded by several Germanic tribes, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. These Germanic tribes eventually established several Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in Britain, which were united under the rule of the Wessex king, Alfred the Great, in the late 9th century.
In 1066 A.D., the Norman Conquest of England took place, which marked a significant turning point in British history. The Norman invasion was led by William the Conqueror, a Norman nobleman who claimed the English throne following the death of King Edward the Confessor. William was successful in his invasion, and he established a new Norman dynasty in England. The Norman Conquest had far-reaching consequences for the country, including the introduction of Norman French as the language of the ruling class and the imposition of a feudal system of government.
Overall, the period from 500 A.D. to 1066 A.D. was a tumultuous time in British history, marked by invasions, wars, and the emergence of new kingdoms and ruling dynasties. While the Patton family may not have been prominent during this time, their history and ancestry are undoubtedly tied to the broader history of Britain during this period.
The Patton family has a rich and fascinating history dating back to the year 1066 A.D. The first recorded member of the family was a Norman knight named Sir Ralph de Pategton who fought in the Battle of Hastings alongside William the Conqueror.
Sir Ralph de Pategton was granted lands in the North of England as a reward for his service to William the Conqueror. Over time, the family name evolved from Pategton to Patton. The Pattons were known for their loyalty to the Crown and their skill as warriors. They became prominent landowners in the North of England and served as knights and soldiers in various conflicts.
One of the most famous members of the Patton family was Sir Robert Patton, who fought in the Crusades in the late 12th century. Sir Robert was known for his bravery in battle and his chivalrous behavior. He was knighted by Richard the Lionheart and was later appointed as the High Sheriff of Northumberland.
In the 14th century, the Patton family faced a challenge to their power and influence when a rival family, the Percys, rose to prominence. The Percys were a powerful and ambitious family who sought to dominate the North of England. The Pattons were forced to choose sides in the conflict between the Percys and the Crown, and they ultimately sided with the Crown.
Despite their loyalty to the Crown, the Pattons suffered a significant setback when they were implicated in a plot to overthrow King Henry IV in 1403. Several members of the family were executed for their involvement in the plot, and the Patton family lost much of its wealth and power.
In the centuries that followed, the Patton family slowly rebuilt its fortunes. They continued to serve as soldiers and knights, and some members of the family even became prominent politicians and merchants. By the end of the 15th century, the Patton family had regained much of its former status and wealth.
Throughout their long and storied history, the Patton family remained fiercely loyal to the Crown and played a significant role in the history of England. From their roots as Norman knights to their position as prominent landowners and politicians, the Pattons left an indelible mark on English history.

I just had the Ai GPT write a Patton Family song. Now I just need to get someone to put it to music for me. Hopefully with a Viking / Celtic feeling.
Verse 1:
Patton family, Vikings of old
Conquered lands, stories to be told
From Normandy they set sail
To England's shores, they would prevail
Chorus:
Patton family, strong and true
Their legacy, we carry through
From Scotland's shores to Australia's land
Pioneers, they took a stand
Verse 2:
In Scotland they lived for over four hundred years
Their tales of valor, brought many to tears
But the call of adventure, it burned in their hearts
To a new land, they would depart
Chorus:
Patton family, strong and true
Their legacy, we carry through
From Scotland's shores to Australia's land
Pioneers, they took a stand
Verse 3:
To Australia and America they went

The Patton Family Oak Tree was planted circa 1886 by my Great-Great Grandmother Caroline Mary Alice Scott Patton at Shaldon Cottage in Wallan East.
The Tree still stands on a property called Oakdale between Wallan East & Upper Plenty.
