George H. Patton
George H. Patton, farmer, is a son of John M. and Sarah (Little) Patton, and was born in Frederick County, Virginia, October 5, 1813, where he was reared. He came to Ohio when twenty-one years of age, and located near Jeffersonville, where he remained three years, and then removed to the northern part of the township, remaining there until 1850, when he came to the farm where he now lives, and where the father died, at the age of seventyseven years. Mrs. Patton died at the age of sixty-nine years.
Our subject has been twice married; first, to Miss Lucinda Sheely, January 1, 1845. One child was the result of this marriage—John A., who lives on a farm adjoining his father's, on the south. He was married to Miss Martha Moon in December, 1871. They have one child—Edith.
Mrs. Patton died September 29, 1846. He then married Miss Elizabeth Pagan, October 25, 1849. They have one child, Genetta, who married Eli S. Parret, December 25, 1873. They have two children : Earle E. and George.
Mr. and Mrs. Patton are members of the Methodist Protestant Church, of Pleasant View. When Mr. Patton came to Ohio he had but a few cents in money ; but by his industry he has accumulated sufficient means to live at his ease in his declining years. He has a well-improved farm of two hundred and eighteen acres, on which he lives, and has given each of his children fifty acres.
