I am beginning to think I may have a more of a HARRISON / PATTERSON connection in my PICKENS - related lines, than has been previously known. I have been doing a lot of work with South Carolina records for the area that is Anderson / Abbeville region, late 1700's early 1800s. The major names involved are PICKENS, PATTERSON, HARRISON, DOWDLE, MCCANN, GRIFFIN, ANDERSON, CALHOUN, EARLE, MIDDLETON, LIDDLE, WILLIS, etc. Desc. of some of these lines went to middle TN (Giles Co and surrounding areas), some of the areas in AL that were mentioned, and some to Georgia. Several of these lines also have connections to families in NC also. If anyone would like to discuss specific families, I would be most interested in trying to put some more of the puzzle together.
