I am finally getting back to you about the date of my gg-grandfather's birth and death dates. He was born in NC 1810 and died in 1866 in Walker County, Georgia. He married Susanna A Hedrick in Monroe County, TN. The reason I traced the Hedrick family is that I never knew where he went or anything else about him except that some of his sons went to Collin County, TX. Thanks for asking about the dates of his birth and death I know nothing of his brothers or sisters etc. I would like to know if his father's name was John Patterson.
