1) Will of Mathew Patton. The executor of the will was George Barber, son of his wife Elizabeth and her first husband George Barber
Wilkes County, Georgia, Will Book 1806-1808: 108-111, will of Mathew Patton, signed 20 April 1799, proved 03 March 1806; digital images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-893L-PT4V : accessed 04 June 2023); FHL microfilm 163,529, images 284-286.
I am pretty sure that Mathew and Elizabeth went to Wake County, NC first, before migrating to Wilkes County.
2) Their daughter Rebekah married William Winfrey 14 May 1785 in Wake County, Brother Solomon was the bondsman
Wake County, North Carolina, Marriage Bonds (loose papers), William Wimpee and Rebeccah Patton, 14 May 1785; digital images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-894X-9NK9 : accessed 04 June 2023); FHL microfilm 296,870, image 1081.
3) Son Solomon had a bastardy bond against him in Wake County by Rachel Baucom, 23 Feb 1787
Wake County, North Carolina, Bastardy Bonds 1783-1789 (loose papers), Rachel Baucom naming Solomon Patton, 23 February 1787; digital images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSYX-RRDT : accessed 04 June 2023); FHL microfilm 2,047,665, images 1875-1876.
4) There is a land grant for Matthew Patton "from North Carolina" in Wilkes County, Georgia.
Matthew Patton-from North Carolina a wife 2 sons & 1 daughter from 19 to 12 years of age. 200 acres on South side Long Creek on a Branch above the first fork, joining Clarke waggon road on the upper side. Do. for 8 Mos. Pd. E. B. & Commissrs. 4:0:0
Wilkes County, Georgia, Records of the Court of Land Commissioners appointed by Governor Wright to issue the ceded lands 1773-1775, Mathew Patton, grant for 200 acres, 16 November 1773; digital images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSTM-3QMV-X : accessed 04 June 2023); FHL microfilm 470,354, image 429; these records were transcribed by James A. LeConte, Atlanta, Georgia, June 1910.
IF this is the correct Mathew Patton, his son Solomon did not go to Wilkes County at this time. He didn't leave until after the bastardy bond. In the bastardy bond, there was an order for him to appear. I can't find that he ever did leading me to believe the left NC for GA to avoid the situation and he went to Wilkes County where his father was.
