Below is the research of John Dorroh, Houston, Texas   April 28, 2012

I am not a Pattishall descendant but am interested in the family in connection with Catherine Smith Robinson 
who married Joseph Baxter Pattishall Nov. 30, 1870, in Cumberland County.  She is the daughter of James Madison 
Robinson and Roxana Crumpler, and James is the son of my ancestors John Robinson and Zilpah Poitevint.

It took me a while to find Joseph and Catherine on the censuses, but I did find them on the 1880 census with 
no children.  Catherine died May 11, 1900, so she is not on the 1900 census and without a listing for her, I 
do not have a total number of children that were born to this couple.  Only one child, Joe R., age 16 born 
Oct 1883, is listed with J. B. on the 1900 census, and this is Joseph Wright Pattishall, apparently the only 
child to live to adulthood.

Per the 1900 census, Joseph Baxter Pattishall was born in Oct 1842.  I did not find a death record; he was alive 
Oct 11, 1902, when he registered to vote in Cumberland County.  And his son J. W. sold his land (remaining one acre) 
in 1907, so he died before then.  You have a death date of 1905; do you remember a reference for that?  I don't have 
access to the Cumberland County estate records, so maybe there was an estate probated, since Joseph owned real property 
at the time of his death.

So based on the records for Cumberland Cemetery, here is how I have constructed the family:

Catherine Smith Robinson, wife of Joseph Baxter Pattishall   born June 17, 1844 and died May 11, 1900.
George McNeill Pattishall   Aug 20, 1874 - Nov 25, 1875
Infant born Oct. 10, 1877 died Oct. 10, 1877
Fanny Robinson Pattishall     Sept 26, 1881 - May 8, 1882
Joseph Wright Pattishall  Oct 26, 1883 - July 30, 1951 m. Millie Kinlaw either Mar. or Apr. 23, 1916 (conflicting records)
From the 1920 and 1930 census, this couple had no children.

You may already have all the above, but in case you do not, please add it to your files.
I am interested to know if you have any more information on the death date and/or estate of Joseph Baxter.  
Thank you in advance for any information you may have.

I'm also sending you information on the children of John Robinson and Zilpah Poitevint. James Madison Robinson 
is the only one that moved to Cumberland County, but you may want to put this at the first of your gedcom on 
the genweb page.  The Poitevint family is an old Huguenot family moving from Charleston, South Carolina, up to 
Wilmington and the upper Cape Fear region.
