PATERSON BRICK WALL
by Michelle WOOD
Mentioned briefly in the obituary of a first cousin was a relationship to a man I did not have in the tree…so began a hunt which has ended in a small wall. I cannot find the marriage connection that makes Rev. James PATERSON great-uncle to my cousin (3x removed) James Paterson HEWITT.

There are certainly some gaps I have not yet managed to fill, so I can not find the connection between the two men. There are children I have not found spouses for, who may very well be the link. The Rev. Paterson and Michael Quin were members of the same Wellington church – the St. Johns in the City, Presbyterian, which has a website I have hunted through. I have just put up the bare bones of what I may have for the individuals. I think I have exhausted all my normal research channels, but have not been able to get on FindMyPast or Ancestry to search their records yet. Any help with this wee puzzle would be very much appreciated.
