Apparently the first Pattersons in Abbeville Co. were Joseph, Josiah, Peter, and Samuel found in the 1779 census of Old 96th Judicial District. Peter and Josiah had shown up in Lincoln Co., NC and York Co., SC records. I believe this Samuel was the son of James Patterson and wife Deborah Givens of Augusta Co., VA, and a brother of Robert Patterson who settled in SC, those son Robert Patterson, Jr. died in Sevier Co., TN in 1839, leaving a will.

Elbert Co., GA, was established 1790, on land ceded by the Cherokee and Creek Indians in 1773, in part to repay loans made by white traders. The treaty, signed on July 1, 1773, referred to the land simply as "Ceded Lands." In 1777, in the midst of the American Revolution, the state of Georgia consolidated it as Wilkes County, named for an Englishman who had opposed the measures that led Britain into war with her Colonies.

The Elbert Co. seat is Elberton, population about 7,000, called "The Granite Capitol of the World." The county, in the rolling hill country section of Georgia, above the fall line, is bordered on the east by the Savannah River, and on the west by the Broad River.

The first permanent settlements appeared in the last two decades of the 18th century. Although early manufacturing census records are incomplete, by 1810 the county had a wagon works, two gunpowder mills and three bark mills in addition to the normal blacksmith shops, distilleries, and grist mills. In the eastern part of the county William Allen began a prosperous life growing cotton, tobacco, corn and wheat. In 1811 he added a grist mill on his property.
