Hi Sheryll,I don't know if this will be of any help,but,my maiden name is Patten,in searching my dad's roots on the old sod,I found out in Ireland the relatives over there(first cousins) spell the name Patton.
I know I had some relatives in Australia,they went about the time that my dad came here.My dad was born sometime around 1897,I'm not exactly sure because all the records in the Catholic churches were burned at one time.His mothers name was Bridgett & fathers name was William.I have a cousin in England,I think is about 70 now,whose name is also William,last name spelled Patton.There are alot of relatives in Ireland I met alot,but,I'm sure I missed quite a few.My dad had brothers,named,Owen,Thomas,Patrick,James,William,My dad Michael,& a sister named Mary.Good Luck in your search,let me know if I can be of any help.
