Notes for William Patterson - 1567
William Patterson - brother to James Patterson
To do: Check out aliens buying land records in 56 volumes In
Albany.....Perhaps his b. county....bought land March 1850 in Lansing.
1850 census ....ae 47....b.c. 1803 (r. with James)
1860 census.....ae 60....b.c. 1800 (r. with James)
1865 census.....ae 69....b.c. 1796 (r. with James)
1866 ...g.s........ae 72....b.c. 1794
From various records it seems that William is older than James.
To children of brother James, he was know as "Uncle Billy"He bought land March 1850, Lot 50 Tn Lansing for $2,000. which he
sold 1853 to brother, James for $1.00 & kept the right of life time use
till death, when the land would go to his brother James.If the family was "starved out" of NO. Ireland During the famine,
seems likely that Wm & James must have worked here for other local farmers,
saving their wages to pay for the passage expenses of family members
who had remained in Northern Ireland. The women & children of his brother's
family emigrated in 1848.(Bessie Finch told cjk & Leon's book) Jane Patterson's CE
also gives date of emigration as 1848.Unless a widower upon arrival in U.S., William doesn't seem to have
married. He appears in the 1850 & 1865 census r. with James & family.
See notes on James for census inf. which notes "Single"Couldn't find his naturalization records in Ithaca @ county clerks office.
Notes for James Patterson - 158
Husband - James Patterson - 158
Wife - Diana Nailer/Naylor - 159
To Do: Try locating His d.c. for his parents names. Try @ Locke or No.
Patterson is not listed among the 100 most common Irish surnames, probably
because it was not truly Irish in origin but said to be Scotch.
b. d. Compiled from several records give various dates:
1850 census ......b.c. 1805 (ae 45) sic
1860 census ......b.c. 1801 (ae 59) sic
1865 census ......b.c. 1798 (ae 67)
1870 census ......b.c. 1798 (ae 72)
1870 Will made ....b.c. 1795 (ae 75)
1883 g.s..............b.c. 1790 (ae 93)Census seems to carry through with the age difference between James & Wm
as being 2 years. Even the 14 year jump from 1850 to 1860 seems to carry
through with this. I am wondering if the ae "59" in the 1860 census was
misread & should be 55.James Patterson, without his wife & children, emigrated in 1845 from
Northern Ireland with his brother, William. They came over on a sailing
ship & arrived in Tompkins Co. Via the Erie Canal & Cayuga Lake. After the
men were established, the women emigrated in 1848, as verified by the 1900 Fed. Census where Jane Patterson Jones says she emigrated then, as well as
from family tradition.They settled in Tn. Lansing because someone in the Patterson family was a
cousin to John & Dennis Kelly ( who r. Tn. Lansing on an adjoining farm.
1868-9 Lansing Business Directory.....Dennis Kelly (p.o. No. Lansing).
Proprietor of North Lansing Hotel & Farmer 1.) A Patrick & Nelson Kelly
are mentioned in the directory."James Patterson, No. Lansing, Farmer, 50 acres. " ( Same directory)
(Dennis Kelly Inf. from Bessie Finch, who always made sure cjk knew that
the Pattersons were "orangemen", i. e., Protestants, originally from
Scotland.) Also see p. 1 of Patterson story.Archie Jones (#172 1966 wrote: Inquiry about Dennis Kelly line may be made
from Randall G? Tarbell, Groton, NY., RD 1. Inquires re: Patterson line can
be made to Edna (Patterson Bishop (#1572), Mrs. Lila Stout, Lansingville,
NY, p.o. Ludlowville (1/2 sister to Edna), Raymond Pelham, Moravia, NY.

The name is spelled as "Naylor" or Nailer."
Notes for Jane Patterson - 160

To do: 1865 (1900 census). cjk was always told by Bessie Finch, that
the men emigrated first, saved money & then sent for the women & children.Leon Palmer said Jane was very deaf & had a squeaky, high pitched voice.
(p. 18 story.) Bessie Finch said Jane smoked a clay pipe."Jane said she paid for her place by drying apples & selling them & A
pension of $10 a month her husband left her as he as a civil war
veteran." (p. 9 Patterson story) She worked hard all her life. Her Place
was about 2 mi. s.w. of Groton.See p. 86 & 89 of story for death inf.

Notes for Diana Patterson - 163 (Daughter)
Child 5 - Diana Patterson - 163To Do: 1900 Census Index for Diana
Check Zekel's Will
Diana was a very unstable person. After see threatened to kill her nephew
George Dean, when he was a young man, he disappeared into the Pennsylvania
oil fields & wasn't heard from for over 30 years. (Bessie Finch inf.)
For more details re: Diana, See Patterson Story p. 86-89 & others.Blanche Burch writes Oct. '61 letter that Diana was a strong spiritualist.
She & her sister, Lib, had lively arguments.She tired to keep other family members away from her father, James, in
order to be sole heir to his estate. See the Patterson story, p. 5 & 6After she sold her father's land, she went to work keeping house for Zekel
Osmun. He d. a short time after leaving her well off. Knowing her
violent history cjk wonders if Diana had anything to do with his death.She r. for years in Ithaca in a large beautiful house on North Aurora St.
(p. 9 story) The family last saw her on 24 April 1908 (p. 88). Bessie
Finch & Blanch Burch (in letter #2) said Diana spent her last years
among the Shilohites of Maine.James Patterson census listing for 1870 says she was m. Jan 1870. In the
1900 census roll 1169, there are Osmuns in household #31, 37, 48, 225, 265 & 325 (p. 2a (108). Ithaca Daily Journal of Feb. 1, 1883 Thursday.....
Film 882, South Lansing...Extensive Stream Saw Mills of W.A.J. Ozmun were
totally destroyed by fire, $8,000 value (Olin Library @ Cornell, has
microfilms of the Journal from 1872 to present.)
Note from the Coordinator of the Tompkins Co., site:
More on Diana Patterson and her husband (Ezekiel Osmun) can be bound here
He married first to Catharine, called Caty, daughter of Jacob and Dorothy
(STORM) SHOEMAKER. Caty born 1 June 1802 died intestate in Ithaca 31 January 1878 age 78yrs 8mo.
After the death of his wife, Ezekiel married second, Diana, daughter of James PATTERSON of Ithaca and died there 30 August 1886 82 yrs 3mo (ts.) Caty and Ezekiel are buried North Lansing Cemetery. ( I believe if she was married in 1870, it was to someone else other than Ezekiel Ozmun
