Mary Patten sounds like a character straight from one of your wonderful seafaring novels; The Red Siren leaps to mind. :) So cool that your maiden name is Patten.

They never said what he had exactly.. some sort of flu I imagine. As far as I know she never sailed again. I have my sister in law trying to find out more information on her (she has a login on Ancestry.com) I have questions too!!! I'm dying to know if I'm related to this fascinating woman.
