Searching for early settler Robert Patton, wife Jane or Jenny Dorington, Their son Dornton or Dorn Patton was my grgrgrandfather. He and his brother John Patton fought through Alabama during the Indian Wars. Daughter Betsy married David Crockett. Still hoping more land and marriage records have been discovered since my earlier searches.
