PATTERSON, CLENDENING



James H. PATTERSON is one of eight children, and was born in Tennessee July

9, 1832, son of William and Rachel (CLENDENING) PATTERSON, and of Irish

descent.  William was born in North Carolina and came to Tennessee, where

he married Miss CLENDENING, who was born in 1790 and died August 8, 1877.

James H.'s early education was obtained in the schools near home and at

Briar Patch Spring schools.  He owns 485 acres of land near Blanche, and in

1880 sold 300 acres.  Besides this he owns 500 acres in different tracts.

Mr. PATTERSON is a man noted for his charity, and is esteemed and respected

by all.  Of his father's eight children only three are living:  J. C., who

is a farmer in Giles County; and our subject and his sister Violet, who

keeps house for him.  November 7, 1861, he enlisted in Capt. Rhodes'

company - Company G, Forty-fourth Tennessee Infantry - and was made first

lieutenant, and was promoted to the rank of captain.  He was discharged in

1862, on account of ill health, and returned home.  J. H. PATTERSON

(deceased), an uncle of our subject, will be remembered by many of the old

residents of Sumner County, as he was widely known.  Dr. John PATTERSON,

his son, is one of the leading physicians of Murfreesboro.
