I am looking for someone who can help me tie these two families together...in the 1880 Searcy Co. census, a large Cotton family (George) is living close to a couple Patterson families ( Warren & Elisha) in Red River township. In the 1870 census of Wiley's Cove township, several more Cotton families live near Elisha Patterson...does anyone have information about Pattersons & Cottons marrying? Specifically, can anyone tie Warren Patterson to the Cotton family?? Thanks, Dewayne Treat
