I (Marty Grant) am not related to William B. Patterson or Lucinda Edwards as far as I know.
William B. Patterson was born ca 1813/14 in Buncombe Co, NC (now Yancey Co, NC). He is most likely a son of Robert and Catherine Patterson, though I have no direct proof that he is their son, but circumstantial evidence makes it seem highly likely.
William was apparently with his parents for the 1820 census in Buncombe, as Robert Patterson had a son with him under age 10 (born ca 1810/20).
William was still apparently with his parents for the 1830 census in Buncombe, in the age 15-19 category (born ca 1810/15).
"William Patterson" was listed on the 1835 Congressional Voter List as having voted in Yancey County in Typton's Precinct.
William B. Patterson married Lucinda Edwards sometime ca 1830/1839 in Yancey Co, NC. I have no direct proof that she was an Edwards, but a "Sophia Edwards" age 53 was residing with them in 1850, and I'm assuming that was her widowed mother. I could be wrong about that though.
William B. Patterson was listed on the 1840 census in Yancey County, several pages from his parents. He was listed between Joseph P. Allen and James Wilson. It looks like Sophia Edwards was with them in 1840 as well, or at least someone her same age was there.

William and family were listed on the 1850 census in Yancey Co, NC. They were listed just three households from his parents. Sophia Edwards, an apparent widow, was residing with them. I suspect she is Lucinda's mother. The Patterson's neighbors on either side in 1850 were Elendor Tipton, (apparent widow), and Austin P. Jones and their families.

I have not traced this family beyond this point yet, but will do so when time permits. William had Real Property ($300 worth) in 1850, so there should be deed records for him. Yancey County records may hold a great deal more info on William and family.
William and Lucinda had six children by the time of the 1850 census, and probably had more afterwards, so I'll not discuss them individually until I get more information on them. I have additional data on son Sterling B. Patterson, since he moved to Swain Co, NC where my own Patterson's lived, and was there for the 1900 census.
