    • John Patterson (17) appeared in the household of Fields Patterson (28) as his nephew. He was a laborer. He and his father were born in Georgia and his mother was born in Tennessee.

      John's father died in 1872 and his mother, Sarah, remarried and moved to Tennessee, where she appears on the 1880 census, with two of her children, not including John. Sarah was born in Tennessee, so this matches the entry for the John in Fields Patterson's household. John's age varies by a few years in various records, but a birth year of 1863 appears at least one other time.

      There are other John Pattersons in Georgia who fit the age range, but all are listed as either sons or grandsons of the head of household.

      Based on this, I think it is probable that the John Patterson living with Fields Patterson is the son of Jerry and Sarah Patterson.
