Shelia, Thanks for the thought, I do know all my Oldhams came from PA and WVA. Thanks....Marcie Hi Marcie, My greatgrandfather was a Samuel Oldham, he was born in TN. in 1837 and married a woman by the name of Martha Oldham. The Patterson's are my maternal side of my family. My grandfather was William Arial Patterson and he married Ida Gibbs, and he was born in AR and moved to Alabama and then to MO. I have not heard of a Jenny Patterson in my line. If I come across anything will let you know.
