I linked Sarah, my great grandmother, to the Samuel Patterson in Walnut Creek Cemetery. Sarah's first husband was Samuel Patterson. Nobody has ever been able to prove this Samuel in Walnut Creek Cemetery is truly Sarah's first husband. This is my best educated guess since the Samuel Patterson that is in Walnut Creek Cemetery is buried near Nancy Patterson who was the mother of the Samuel Patterson who married Sarah. This Samuel in Walnut Creek Cemetery is the right age to be the Samuel that Sarah married. I say this in the hopes that maybe somebody will "listen to me" and see how likely this Samuel in Walnut Creek is to the right Samuel and maybe be able to have access to some resources to be able to prove this once and for all. Then again there may never ever be anything found to prove this?
There has been speculation over the years by different people thinking that Samuel Patterson probably died before 1850 and left Sarah a widow. There has never been anything that has come up to prove that theory.
Sarah was the daughter of William and Mary Browning Iiams. A lot of details point that direction. Sarah was first married to a Samuel Patterson in 1840 in Grant Co., IN. Sarah was in the 1850 census with the 3 children she had with Samuel living in Grant Co., IN, right next to Samuel's mother, Nancy Patterson. Harriett Iiams was living with her on that census. One guess for me would be that Sarah was no longer with a husband and really needed her sister's help or it could be Harriett wanting to venture out away from home and living with her sister was a first step in doing that. Harriett's death certificate says she was the daughter of William and Mary Browning Iiams.
