Excerpt from "Family Moves to Florida"
In 1882, Robert moved his Family to Florida. After he had heard from a friend, Mr. Westbrook, he was encouraged to move to the area. The family traveled by wagon, train, boat and then train again. They took only what would fit in their
suitcases. Mr. Westbrook met the Pattison family at the train station and took them to Eustis, Florida. It broke the children's hearts to have to leave Grandma Pattison in Georgia. She stayed with the Boatwright's and at the home of Zilphy Davis in Early County, Georgia. It was at the Davis home where Martha Annie King Pattison died in 1885 at the age of 60.
She (Martha) was sixty years old when she died and they all said that she died "at a good old age.
MY GRANDMOTHER, MARTHA ANNIE (KING) PATTISON
This is told by Telitha Elizabeth (Pattison) Cooper, just as she, as a child or eight years remembers her Grandmother.
At the age or eight, Telitha left Georgia and never saw her Grandmother again.
My Grandmother, Martha Annie (King) Pattison was thrown from a horse and injured. The injury was permanent and so when I knew her she had a crippled foot. My sister Clara looks just as I remember that my Grandmother looked. So that anyone who has seen my sister Clara or a good picture of her would know how Grandma Pattison looked.
Grandmother only had two children, a girl and a boy. Her daughter got burned playing around a bonfire and died at the age of three or four years. Her other child was Robert William Pattison, my Father. She was the second wife of Robert Pattison, who had three children by his first wife (name unknown). I never saw my grandfather Pattison as my Grandmother
left him and we did not hear of him or his three children.
I thought my grandmother was the most ideal person and so very beautiful. She had such a sweet and jolly disposition. She and Aunt Mary, my Mother's sister, both lived with us, while we were in Georgia. Many a time we Children would come running into Grandma's room telling her something against Aunt Mary, something that Aunt Mary had done to
displease us. Grandma Pattison would put her small hald out and say, "Sh Don't talk about anybody. She is a good woman." She did not believe in the least bit of gossip.
Billy (Robert William), my Father saw that Grandma had a room all her own. The happiest days of my life was when, once in a awhile, I could sleep with Grandma. It was wonderful to be that close to her.
Grandma always brought me something, when she came home after a visit to some of her relatives, an apple or something. When we came home and the house smelled of apples we would all cry, "Grandma is home!" One time she
brought me a little shiny bucket with a lid. It was about the size or a number two tomato can. My sister Mary wanted this bucket so badly that she came running in one time and said: "If Honey (that was my nickname) dies I'll get
this little bucket." I was ill a lot as a child and several times they did not think I would live, and my sister being a child also thought of this when she wanted the bucket.
We knew nothing of the Gospel at this time and my Grandmother smoked a pipe, as a great many women her age did. When she wanted her pipe lit she would always let us kids, Dennis, my brother, or me light it for her. We thought that was a great privilege.
My Grandmother raised me on coffee. As I said before I was sick a lot and my grandmother thought that a little coffee whenever I wanted it helped me. In fact, she claimed, that coffee was what kept me alive. We had a spinning wheel
and either Grandmother or Aunt Mary was at the spinning wheel most of the time. I came up one day and saw what I thought was coffee in a saucer on the spinning wheel. I picked it up and drank it. It was lye water made from ashes. My Mother did not think I swallowed any of but I was out of my head for a long time. The lye almost ate my mouth out. Grandmother thought her baby was going to die and she was very worried. They all tried to pour cream and anything else they could think of that might help, down me to try to save me.
We were in very bad circumstances financially and new clothes or gifts were almost not to be had. Mother had a little material and she made Grandma the most beautiful Bonnet. Everyone wore bonnets in those days. Mother did not
have a sewing machine so every stitch in the bonnet was made by hand.
Grandma put on her new bonnet and went out to the gate. Some negros came along. They said, "Oh, Mrs. Pattison, what a beautiful bonnet you have. "Grandma said, "Yes, my daughter just made it for me." "My, I wish I had one like it", said one Negro Woman. Grandma pulled it off and gave it to the Negro. My Grandmother was generous and loving, and it did not make any difference to her that the woman was black we are all children of God. It was the most terrible thing when we left Georgia and had to leave Grandma. She stayed with some of her relatives.
One was named Zilphy Davis and also the Boatwrights. I think she died at Zilphy Davis place in Early County, Georgia. She was sixty years old when she died and they all said that she died "at a good old age."

Excerpt from Life History of Emmaline Mason Ann Waller Pattison We do not have any information as to how Emmaline met her husband
Robert William Pattison nor do we know when they were married. Robert and Emmaline did live with Robert's mother Martha Annie King Pattison
after they were married. Martha did not do any of the household work. Martha had always, in the past, had a Negro girl to work for her. Now
Emmaline had to help her husband in the fields as well as take care of the household. This arrangement was difficult for Emmaline.
Emmaline was taught to read from the Bible as a child. After she married Robert, Emmaline taught him to spell, write and do figures.
Excerpt from Life History of Robert William Pattison
Robert entered the army before he was sixteen to fight for the Confederacy during the Civil War. After the war he became an overseer for his uncle Henry Boatwright (Martha Annie King's brother in law). Today he would have been called a farm foreman. The next time we have any record of Robert William Pattison is in the settlement of the John Henry Boatwright estate. The estate settlement states:
"To wife Zelpha a minimum (listed) of household goods and $75.00 for support of widow and orphans."
In New FamilySearch and Family Tree Martha Annie King has a sister named Elizabeth "Betsy" King (KCCL-JN7). John Boatwright b. 1816 is listed as her husband. While looking for Zilpha Davis I went to FamilySearch looking for a "Zilpha Zilphy Davis" who resided in Early County, Georgia during the years 1850 to 1890 and found a Zilpha in the 1800 US Census along with a Boatright living in the same family. This led to finding more information.
