PATTERSON(3), CHEATHAM, STEVENSON, REEVES



Mrs. E. R. PATTERSON is a daughter of James and Rebecca CHEATHAM, and is

one of the two surviving members of their family of four children.  She was

born in Lincoln County, Tenn., in 1819, and her parents were born in

Virginia, and came to Tennessee at a very early date.  The subject of our

sketch was reared at home, and in 1844 was married to D. S. PATTERSON, who

was born in Sumner County about 1821, and came to Lincoln County when a

boy.  He owned about 800 acres of land at the time of his death, which

occurred April 4, 1862.  Their family consisted of eight children:  Maria

S. (Mrs. Dr. H. L. PATTERSON), James S. (deceased), Elizabeth (deceased),

Dr. William A. (deceased), Davidson H., who conducts the home-place,

Cornelia R. (Mrs. W. B. STEVENSON), Belle V. (Mrs. W. S. PATTERSON*),and

Emma J. (Mrs. J. E. REEVES).  They were all given good educations and two

of them were graduates of colleges.  Davidson H. and his brother are

well-to-do in worldly goods.  His early education was obtained in the

common schools, which he completed at Bethany College.
