Patton Farm by Wilson L. Patton
The Patton Farm was founded in the southeastern portion of Wilson County, north of Statesville, when John Patton purchased 150 acres in 1852. He and his wife Rhoda C. Cassity married a few years prior to establishing their farm and were the parents of seven children. After Rhoda died, John married Mary Jane Wamack and they had one child. In addition to farming, John was an important member of his community; he made household furniture and coffins, was captain of the militia, and an elder in the Mt. Vernon Church.
The next generation to own the farm was a grandson, Dee Roy Patton, who lived on the farm his entire life. He married Amanda "Mandy" Allen in 1902 and they had two children, Myrtle Viola Patton and Howard Donnell Patton. They grew a variety of grains, vegetables, and livestock including mules. In 1930, the farm passed to Myrtle and her brother Howard. The farm now included 112 acres. During World War II, the Patton Farm and the surrounding farms were used for training maneuvers.
By 1963, Myrtle acquired her brother's acreage. Neither sibling had children so it was acquired by their cousin, William L. Patton, a great-great grandson of the founders, and his wife Faye in 1964. William worked and managed the farm, primarily growing hay.
