Patterson, William, 1752-1835

The Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte papers consist of correspondence, account books, newspaper clippings and scrapbooks. Topics range from her life in Baltimore, her marriage to Jerome Bonaparte and exile from France, and her struggle to secure her son's inheritance. The collection is comprised of 20 boxes.

This collection consists of four typescripts of family history of the ancestors of Robert Lyon Mayall. The information in the typescripts was compiled from primary sources in the Maryland Historical Society.

The four account books of the prominent Baltimore businessman William Patterson (1752-1835) relate primarily to his merchant and shipping activities. Patterson's Will is also included in this collection.

This collection contains correspondence of William Patterson, chiefly in regard to his daughter Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, but also in regards to business and politics.
