Vivian en Kirkmichael, Escocia, a 1868.
Alli nacieron sus tres hijos mayores. Jacqueline dice que se llamaba Patterson Patterson porque sus padres eran primos hermanos entre si, aunque las partidas del GRO 31 y los datos de Jacqui 32 dan los nombres que ponemos aqui. Habia seguramente una relacion, que es mencionada por Anne Reid en la ficha de su consuegra Sarah Patterson (ver) -nos referimos a la consuegra de su hijo James Alexander-

Tambien figura en los registros de la Saint Andrew Church de Punta Arenas, el casamiento de una Ruby Patterson con William Allan Clarkson, el 27 Feb 1915. d. 12 Aug 1917. b. en el Cementerio de Punta Arenas. No hemos podido ubicarla.

Se establecieron en San Julian, Santa Cruz, Argentina, e. 1886 y 1891, despues de unos años en las Falkland, donde nacio James Alexander en 1873. El anterior, George, habia nacido en K. en 1871.
En las Falkland deben haber hecho amistad con los Lafone, ya que James le pone (como tercer nombre) Lafone a su hijo mayor: Thomas Ivan Lafone Patterson.
16/6/02: Ann Reid 33 envia datos de todos los hijos registrados de James y Agnes. En ellos figura que Thomas nacio en 1832, a pesar de que en su partida de matrimonio de 1862 figura con 26 años, lo que nos habia hecho ponerle como b. 1836. Quizas sea por illiteracy o por coqueteria...
Asimismo, los Patterson-Patterson deben haber sido los hijos de James Alexander Patterson (hijo de Thomas) cuya esposa era Fraser-Patterson.

Si bien hay tres localidades Kirkmichael, es la cercana a Ayr, a 5 km de Maybole (http://www.maybole.org) y relativamente cerca de Dumfries (donde fue a estudiar Santiago Alejandro) A 1991, Kirkmichael tenia 647 habitantes.

The 1840's and 1850's were one of the many periods of severe agricultural depression in Scotland, something around 24% of males under 25 left the country in that period.
It was also a time of new and extensive opportunities in other parts of the world, mainly Empire. With landownership restricted to so few in Dumfries Galloway (and UK generally), and with daily life still so heavily dominated by a censorious church, is it any wonder that many with little or nothing but aspirations for a better life, took up their goods and chattels to make their fortunes elsewhere?
Sure the cholera epidemic of the 1840s which devastated the region, killing thousands wouldnt have helped keep people in the area either!

"In 1832, Dumfries was visited with Indian or spasmodic cholera, and experienced its effects with more than ordinary severity. The total number of cases officially reported, is 837; of deaths, 422; and of recoveries, 415. It is certain, however, that many cases were not reported. The first case was on 15th September 1832 and the last on 27th November 1832."---From the Statistical Account of September 1833.
"In 1734 small pox killed at last 100 people in Dumfries and as a result the practice of inoculation became frequent here, as soon, or sooner than in many other parts of Scotland."
From the Statistical Account of 1792.

A little further on we can see DUMFRIES ACADEMY, where a large number of pupils who achieved fame in many fields were educated, not the least of whom was J. M. Barrie, the author of 'Peter Pan'. Barrie is said to have found the inspiration for Peter Pan from memories of his childhood days at play in the garden behind what is now Moat Brae Nursing Home, situated at the junction of Irving Street and George Street, close to the Academy.

Overview: Garrel Church
During the middle ages, Garrel was a mensal of the Bishop of Glasgow. That meant that its purpose was to provide His Lordship's larder and table. It was farmed for him by the Red Friars of Fail, an order not notable for their piety.
In 1506, the good Archbishop Blackadder made over the whole endowment of Garrel to his college of Glasgow. These arrangements came to an end with the Reformation, but in the year 1617, under the revived Episcopate, a church was built, Its ruins still survive.
The first and only Presbyterian minister of the United Parishes of Garrel and Dungree served from 1647 to 1651, when he was transferred by the Presbytery of Dumfries to Colvend, and later become one of the Martyrs of the Covenant.
The Presbytery of Dumfries made another attempt to induct a Minister to Garrel and Dungree in 1659, but it was annulled by the Commissioners of Teinds, the following year. They declared that Garrel had never been a parish and the whole area was then partitioned between Kirkmichael, Johnstone and Kirkpatrick-Juxta. Later the parish was renamed Kirkmichael and Garvell.
