Paul Patrick, II 1790-1841

3rd Great Grandfather - Paternal Side

Within the Paul Patrick DNA Circle on Ancestry, I match 36 out of 61 members with various amounts. I am using Paul Patrick II in the title for the purpose of this blog only since he was named after his grandfather.

Paul Patrick born on April 11, 1790 in Wilkes County, Georgia to Alexander and Elizabeth Thompson Patrick, one of their seven children. The Patricks were farmers, as Paul grew up to be, living in around the area of Wilkes and Walton Counties. They attended a protestant church. On September 3, 1815 Paul married Miss Lucy Thompson, who no doubt was a cousin by some degree, in Johnson County, Georgia by Reverend Allen Turner.

Lucy was the daughter of Frederick and Nancy Coker Thompson (see February blog post). Together they had the following children:

1. Luke Patrick (1816-1862); married Emiline Cythia Davis
2. James Patrick (1817-1880); married Louvenia Sturdivant
3. Ezekial R. Patrick (1817-1888); married Martha E. Williams
4. William "Frederick" Patrick (1822-1902); married Francis A. Austin
5. Nancy Patrick (1824 - ????); without occupation, never married on 1870 Census
6. Elizabeth Patrick (1827-????); married Mr. Brown or Goins?
7. Drucilla Patrick (1831-1911); married William Alfred Austin
8. Lucy Patrick (1834-1860); married William W. Austin (probably cousins to W. A. & Francis)

Paul was a participant in the War of 1812. He mustered in as a Private between August 26th and September 2, 1813 at Camp Hope located in Twiggs County, Georgia. He was in the 1st Regiment of the Harris Georgia Militia under Captain Wilson McKinney. During the time he was enlisted, The Battle of Autossee (See WikiPedia) would have been the mostly likely place for him to be deployed to since it consisted of Georgia militia. Paul was discharged at Milledgeville, Georgia on or about March 17, 1814 having served his time.
