George C. Patten

Henry, George and Ann Patten arrived in New York on 6 July 1866 via the ship Arkwright. Only Henry, as head of household, is listed on the overland company records. However, he purchased 4 1/2 adult food rations for the overland journey. It is assumed that his wife and George continued on with him to the Valley, but it is uncertain who else was traveling with them. Ship records show 9 year old George Patten with them, PEF records confirm that "George C." continued with them to the Valley, but we have been unable to determine who he was. It is possible Patten was not his actual surname. Further research is needed.
