Jeanette PATTERSON

1834 - 1871  (36 years)

• Name	Jeanette PATTERSON
  Nickname	Nettie
  Birth	26 Apr 1834	Madison County, New York, United States   [1, 2, 3, 4]
  	This year of birth is computed from her age in the 1860 Census (24) and the 1870 Census (34). New York is recorded as her place of birth since that shows on both census reports. However, on her son, James', death certificate, it says that she was born in New Jersey.
  Gender	Female
  Residence	15 Jul 1850	Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York, United States   [5]
  	Student
  Residence	1851	Hamilton, Ontario, Canada   [6]
  	Servant
  	It cannot be proved that this is the same Janet Paterson; however, the census says that her age was 17 and she was from the United States, and both of these facts are accurate for this Janet Paterson. Moreover, if Jeanette did live here, it was a logical place where she could have met William John Todd.
  Residence	1855	Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York, United States   [7]
  	Teacher
  	This census says that she had lived in this community for 21 years; therefore, this must have been her place of birth.
  Residence	9 Jun 1865	Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York, United States
  Misc	30 Apr 1869	West Bay City, Bay, Michigan, United States   [8]
  	Joined Westminster Presbyterian Church
  Death	Feb 1871	West Bay City, Bay, Michigan, United States   [8]
  Notes	It seems that this lady was called by a variety of names. On the death certificate of her son, John Todd, she was identified as Mary Patterson Todd. On the 1860 and 1870 census she was referred to as Janet. On the birth record of her last child, Andrew, she was called Mary. On the marriage record of her daughter, Jennie, she too was called Jennie. On the death date of her daughter, Jane, she was called Jeanette Paterson. On the marriage record of her daughter, Janet, she was called Nettie Patterson.
