Patty

01. James Paty was born about 1705 at Prince George Co., VA.  He married Sarah Clanton circa 1741.  He died on December 10, 1758 at Halifax Co., VA.  Early Patty ancestors spelled their last name Paty and some later took the spelling of Patty.  Researcher Delores Lansford has detailed a line that is likely to be the ancestors of James going back to Theophilus Paty. The 5 children of James and Sarah Clanton are:
 

02. James Paty, son of James and Sarah was born between 1747 and 1750 at Lunenburg Co, VA. He married Margaret Mote, daughter of David Mote and Dorcas Nichols, on 11 March 1769 at Newberry Co, SC. He died on 28 July 1796 at Newberry Co, SC.   James settled in Newberry County, South Carolina, where he lived and raised his family. He is buried there. James was a Quaker, as were most of his children. He was thought to be a birthright Quaker, This was not the case, he married a Quaker and choose to become a Quaker after the marriage. It was not the practice of Quakers to own slaves or fight in the wars, but James did own slaves. There are records in the Newberry Court house, where he bought three slaves.  (Source: Delores Lansford) The children of James and Margaret are:
 

03. Charles Paty, son of James and Margaret was born on November 21, 1788 in Columbia Dist., SC.  He married Phoebe Pearson, daughter of Enoch Pearson and Phoebe De Moss on February 12, 1805 in Newberry Co., SC.  They had 10 children.  Charles moved with the Quaker Wagon train from South Carolina to Montgomery County, Ohio in 1807.  He died on September 23, 1849 in Newton Township, Miami Co., Ohio.  The 10 children of Charles and Phoebe are:

04. Morsena Patty, daughter of Charles and Phoebe was born abt 1805 in South Carolina.  Proof that Morsena is their daughter comes from Quaker Meeting Minutes where the spelling of Morsena is listed (Source: Delores Lansford).  She married Martin Furnas, son of William Furnas and Rachel Nesley, on September 3, 1823 in Miami Ohio.  They had 11 children.  I descend from their daughter Rhoda Furnas who married Thomas Marshall.
