Colonial Families of the United States of America: Volume 6 Bringier: "IGNACE BRANGIER, Judge, of Leniagne, in Auvergne, France, was the ancestor of the American family bearing the distinguished name. The name of his wife has not been handed down to us. Her son, b. in France, is JEAN BRINGIER, also of Leniagne, Auvergne, France; m. in 1711, Marie DOURADOU of the family of Baron DOURADOU D'AUVERGNE, tenth. Louis XIV; their son

PIERRE BRINGIER DE LACADIERE, near Ambagne, in Provence, France; m. Agnes, ARNOUX; their son MARIUS PONS BRANGIER, of Lacadiere; prior to the French Revolution, sold his estate “La Cadiere,” near Marseilles, France, and with his young wife Marie Frances DURAND sailed from France, for the Island of Martinique; later he came to Louisiana.

In Saint James Parish, which then bore the more grandiloquent title of “Paroisse St. jacques Cote de Cabahanoce aux Accadiens,” he acquired at different times, from 1785 to 1789, five adjoining plantations, these he threw into one; built a large and stately mansion and named the new habitation “La Maison Blanche,” where hospitality was the prevailing spirit of both its master and mistress...."

...in his memories of the Civil War, James H. states that his grandfather Pierce Mays ws killed by Indians and buried near the mouth of Muddy Creek in Greenbrier County. Some effort has been made to locate and idntify his grave, but without success.

Monroe County, VA (1863West Virignia) land records show that one Pierce W. Mays acquired land on Wolf Creek in that county in 1820 and died instestae in 1829. This was possibly Jim's grandfather.

Notes

The King granted James Patton 120,000 acres of land with the only stipulation that it be located on the west side of the 'Blue Mountains' and that it be settled by loyal British subjects. James sailed in one of his father's ships, the 'Walpole'. This ship is said to have made 20 or more passages to the states. He carried Ulster immigrants to America and returned with furs, skins and tobacco. In one of these passages in 1738, James and his wife Mary, and his two daughters, Margaret Patton and Mary Patton, along with John Preston, his wife Elizabeth (Patton) Preston, their children Letitia abt.10 years old, Margaret abt.8, William about 7, and Mary Preston abt 6, along with John Prestons sister Mary Preston who later married Phillip Barger, and supposedly another of John's sisters, Jane (Preston) Breckinridge and her husband Alexander Breckinridge, arrived in Belhaven, near Alexandria on the Potomac on August 26, 1738. One of James Patton's settlements was known as "Drapers Meadows", located at the present site of Blacksburg, VA. One sunny Sunday morning on July 8th, 1755, Indians wiped out much of the settlement including James Patton. James and his wife Mary Borden had 2 daughters and no sons. He adopted (officially or un-officially ?) William Preston, son of John Preston.

"My Dear Rush: From the extreme rigor of the winter and diminished vision I have postponed answering your letter of Dec. 30, enclosing one from Mr. Lyman C. Draper of Buffalo, N. York. The object of Mr. Draper's letter is to collect materials for a work "Sketches of the Pioneers". Would it be irrelevant in reply to repeat the tradition I have so often interested your childhood with, on the facts of the life and death of Col. James Patton, Dec’d.
He was born in the north of Ireland in the town of Newton, Lenawaddy in the year of our Lord 1690. He was bred to the sea, and in the wars of England with the low countries served as an officer in the Royal Navy. After the treaty of Utrecht he procured a "Passenger Ship" and traded to the Colony of Virginia at Robbes Hole on the Tappahannock. He penetrated the then wilderness of the State as far as Orange County, thence across the Blue Ridge and commenced a settlement near Waynesborough in Augusta County. He crossed the Atlantic twenty-three or twenty-five times - his traffic was paltries and tobacco -- his return cargo was what was then termed "Redemptionary" poor families of Irish who served a given time for the price of the passage. In this way the greater part of the country of Augusta was settled. The descendants of these emigrants have furnished the West with many of its Governors, Senators, Judges, and distinguished literary men, and even intermarried with the "Imperial Family of, Virginia" as the historian Burke terms the Pocahontas descendants of our state.

Gov. Patton had two sisters who married men of "quality" as the nieces termed them. This state of things kept the two other sisters unmarried."

"An early pioneer, seaman, and Virginia settler, killed by an Indian raid on his home, where he was shot after "cutting two of them down" with his sword. (See Letitia Floyd's letter, op. cit.)

From Letitia's bible, op. cit: "The grandparents of Dr. John Floyd were William Floyd and Abadiah Davis of Amherst Co. Va. and James Patton of of Augusta Co. Va. and his wife Jane Lochrie of Northumberland Co., Penn. Mrs. Buchanan moved to Rockbridge Co. Va. where she died and was buried near Providence Rectory." This is partially incorrect and I show the proper family ties in these notes....

....and this interesting note from Thomas S. Fiske, , in Feb., 2003 to the [email protected]: "On the subject of James Patton, there is an interesting article in the latest issue of "Northern Kentucky Heritage" magazine that mentions a James Patton. It is "Escape from Indian Captivity-- the Story of Mary Draper Ingles (1732-1815) and Her Son, Thomas." On page 48, the article, by Karl Lietzenmayer states "Col. James Patton, 63, who had arrived the previous day with a supply of gunpowder . . ." The year was 1755, and the event was the capture of Mary Draper Ingles and her two sons were captured by Shawnees in eastern KY along the Ohio River."

From The Harrison Notes, July 8, 1994 Part 3, by Charles W. Johnson, M.D., we have that "Patton had been master of a ship involved in many voyages bringing immigrants to PA from Ireland, but decided to become involved in their settlement of the Shenandoah Valley. He was also involved with the Beverly Grant around Staunton, and finally took the project over from the eastern aristocracy for himself. He expanded his operations to the Roanoke and James River in 1740 and to the Wood’s River Grant of 1745 (later called New River). James Patton was killed by Indians at Draper’s Meadow 1755." This can be found on the web at , April, 2003"

"A distinguished poet, and among the more prominent ducs d'Orleans." Blois: The presence of a village at the 1st century with the site of the current city was established by archaeological excavations. Pagus mérovingien, it becomes until XIIème century the seat of the capacity of the Blois-Champagne counts.
Louis of Orleans bought the city in 1391.
In 1440 Charles of Orleans developed it, but it is with the advent of Louis XII (Louis II of Orleans) with the throne of France that Blois became for one century royal residence."
