1862 Succession of Confederate soldier Moses S. Patton, Dec'd., Union Parish Louisiana 

Union Parish Louisiana Succession Book F, pp. 528 - 529
==================================================================================
==================================================================================
NOTE: The petition below states that Moses S. Patton died in the Army on 9 June 1862. 
However, I have not located any record of his Confederate military service. He is 
probably the W. S. Patton, born about 1840 in Alabama, who is living near Shiloh 
in the household of William Patton.
==================================================================================
==================================================================================

To the Honorable the Judge of the 11th Judicial 
District Court in and for the Parish of Union, 
State of Louisiana.
   The petition of William M. Patton, a resident of 
your aforesaid Parish and State respectfully represents 
that on or about the 9th of June last 1862 Moses S. 
Patton of your said Parish departed this life 
intestate while in the Army, that he left a small 
property consisting of Negroes, personal effects, 
rights and credits; that he also left two brothers 
Harrison W. Patton of Claiborne Parish, Louisiana and 
your petitioner in this State; that he left a Father 
Solomon P. Patton still living in Ala. And two other 
brothers and two sisters also riding in Ala. To wit:  
James F. and John N. Patton and Harriette Patton, wife 
of James Doans [sic] and Mary Patton wife of Berry 
Purgurson [sic].  Wherefore your petitioner prays that 
he be appointed Administrator of said Estate after the 
legal advertisements and delays that an appraisement 
and inventory of the same be made; that an attorney to 
represent the absent heirs be appointed for all orders 
and decrees necessary in the premises and full general 
and equitable rights.
