James Patrick

James Patrick (b. circa 1825 - d. ABT 1887)

Born in Virginia. I believe he was born on the was side of the mountains, because the census before the Civil War he has Virginia listed as place of birth and after the war he has West Virginia. He married Nancy Elizabeth Dye (b. May, 1828 - d. Jan 01, 1916) on Apr 18, 1847 in Jackson Co., Ohio. They had 9 children. She was born in Wood County, Virginia, later West Virginia. He was listed as a farmer and Nancy was a housewife according to census records. They lived in Clinton Twp./ Vinton Co. between 1850 and 1860, then moved to Milton Twp./ Jackson Co. somewhere between 1860 and 1870. I have a copy of a map of Milton Twp. from 1875 that shows where they could have possibly lived. On the 1870 census it was noted that James could not write. The family household census was from 1850 to 1880, the 1890 census had been destroyed in a fire in Washington, D.C. and is not available for research. As of this moment I have yet to find a death date or final resting place for James. I do know that James died before 1900 because Nancy is listed living with her son James H. Patrick as a widow, according to the census. Nancy died on Jan 01, 1916; here is her obituary as it appeared in the Wellston Telegram on Jan 05, 1916:
