Elizabeth, Thanks for sharing this with us. What was your gg-gf Robert Patterson's birth and death dates? Do you know which counties he was living in in 1850, 1860, and after? I look forward to hearing from you. We have quite a bit of information on the Pattersons from Ga and NC and SC going back into the 1700's. Thanks, Elizabeth.
