James R. Patton

John Patton was born ca 1787 possibly in Va.; he is said to have married Elizabeth Bean in Franklin Co Tenn ca 1808. [According to Bean family records-another source has her as Rhoda Bean (618).]* She was born 10 Dec. 1789 in Ga, d/o Robert Bean (1764-1824) and Martha Womack (1754-after 1840). John entered land in Franklin Co on Noah's branch in 1807. The 1812 Franklin Co tax list shows William, James, and John Patton. He seems to be the John Patton who was mustered into service as a Lieutenant in the 28th Regt. of Tenn Militia on 21 Aug. 1814 in Bedford Co Tenn. *One source (618) suggests his father was "James Patton of Virginia". Verify??
    Of the two John Pattons in 1820 Franklin Co census his entry shows 2 boys under ten, 4 girls under ten, and a wife age 16-26 (does not match birth year of 1789 given above). In 1830 there were two John Pattons in Franklin Co Tenn census. It is stated that his name appears on Marion Co Tenn tax lists but no years are given.
     John moved to Itawamba Co Miss. in 1836 after selling their land in Marion Co. to Samuel Beene on 1 Aug. 1836 (Deed bk. D: 338). He purchased land in Itawamba Co. from William Beene on 4 July 1838 and was on tax roll, state census and deeds from 1836 to 1860. Elizabeth Bean's brother Lemuel and other Bean relatives went with John to Mississippi as did all of John's children except Asa and Sarah Womack, and James Robert Patton. There is a tombstone for John Patton in the Bean-Roulston Cem in Tenn; however it appears that this was a memorial placed here by descendants years later as John Patton was buying and selling land in Itawamba Co Miss through 1860 and died there in the year of 1863.
     "In John Patton's estate settlement Robert is listed in Tenn., Isabella Beene in Tenn., and Sarah Patton Womack as also having died in 1863." On the first of Dec. 1863 William Patton, son, petitioned for letters of administration for the estate of John Patton, deceased; the actual administration dragged out over several years as crops had to be harvested and sold, slaves were hired out, etc. His children follow. (542, 543, 636)

He served as a second lt. of the 12th Regt, Tenn. Infantry during the Mexican War. (543, 618) He lived a short while at Baldwyn Miss but returned to Tenn. where the family is found in the 1850- 1860 census of Marion County. (636)
