Ser. 4. Family History and Genealogical Research
Scope and Contents
Mary Sullivan Patterson did extensive research on her and her husband's families and documented at least 200 Quaker ancestors. She intended to write a history for the family, but her papers as deposited contained rough research and memorabilia sorted by individual and/or family. She particularly researched the Thomson family, her mother's line, which connected to Hallowell, Eyre, Taylor, Lippincott, Roberts, Jarrett, and other Montgomery County families.
Filed alphabetically by family name. Some files include photocopies of early wills and correspondence to family members.
