John Patton (Detroit mayor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Patton (born 1822, death unknown) was the 30th mayor of Detroit, Michigan, 1858-1859.[1] Little else is known about his life. There was also a John Patton identified as being the Sheriff of Wayne County, Michigan 1869-1870[2] or as late as 1871.[3] It is uncertain whether the two are the same person or if there is any relation between them.
