	Amos Patterson, son of John and Margaret Black Patterson
		Amos Patterson was born between 1803 and 1804 in Buncombe Co., NC.
		John and Peggy have never been found on any of the 1834 north Georgia census records, so it is a distinct possibility that they were living with Amos, but in no way has this been proven.
		Given the fact that Amos and his parents both have not yet been found on the 1830 census as well, I tend to believe at this point in time that John and Peggy were living or traveling with Amos and his family during those years.

		Amos began his show business career doing stand-up comedy in Greenwich Village, then migrated to Los Angeles, where he worked for Lohman and Barkley's comedy show and was hired to write the comedy sketches for "The Leslie Uggams Show" (CBS, 1969).

		Dramatic actor John Amos ('Roots') was again cast as Florida's other half (he was seen on 'Maude' occasionally as husband Henry, now re-named James).
		John Amos was particularly strong as the head of the household, and the exchanges between JJ and sister Thelma are some of television's funniest moments.
		When the series was moved to Tuesday nights in the fall of 1974, it did even better in the Nielsen ratings, landing solidly in the top ten as the show's writers relied more and more on JJ's antics to carry the show - often deferring dialogue to a simple notation in the scripts: "JJ reacts".
