PATRICK.
John Patrick, of Augusta, bought nearly a thousand acres
in the western part of the county, most, if not all, being a
portion of the immense Chiswell patent. His purchase commenced
in 1765. Two years after he conveyed three hundred
acres to his son Charles; the remainder he appears to have
sold to other persons. Charles died in 1797. His children
were John, Charles, Mary, the wife of Joseph Burgher,
Rachel, the wife of Thomas Smith, Martha, the wife of Joel
Smith, and Margaret. Charles married Dorcas, daughter of
Samuel Black, and removed to Fayette County, Kentucky.
John succeeded to his father's place, and died in 1832. He
was twice married, and his children were John M., Mary
Susan, the wife of Thomas O. Carr, and—the wife of
James Lobban. The old homestead is still in the possession
of one of the descendants, Sarah A. Patrick, who became the
wife of James W. Timberlake.
