hi jacki: Pls. see my reply just now to Lesia ..... I dont know of your Pattersons, but if they were all in Crawford Co. at the same time, mid to late 1800s, and early 1900s, there could be a connection. We shd prob. all see if we can find it. Are all the Pattersons, that have been mentioned so far, LIVING IN CRAWFORD CO./KNOXVILLE, as mine were??
