PATTERSON
Wondering if anyone has access to wills in Cannon Co. My great-grandfather, Robert Wilson Patterson, was living in Cannon County in the 1850 census. He will killed (apparently while cutting timber) in September 1867. I assume they were still living in Cannon County at his death. I would like to know if he left a will or if there was a guardian appointed for his infant children. His wife was Louisa and they had 8 children, the youngest only two when he died. I appreciate any help with this.
