| On the 1800 Census for Old Buncombe County, NC, there were 10 Patton Households, with heads as follows: John Patton Sen., John Patton Jun. George N. Patton; Aaron Patton; Brandon Patton; George Patton; James Patton, Jun. Robert H. Patton; James Patton, Sen.; Joseph Patton; George Patton; Robert Patton; Thomas Patton; William Patton; Samuel Patton. We have some information on many of these which may help delineate the various families and indicate any possible relationship. It is thought that the origins are from Ulster Province in (now) Northern Ireland, and may be related, but the American families are not from one common immigrant progenitor in this country. There were several immigrants.
