Would like to know if any of you fellow Patterson researchers know anything at all about a John, possibly, that married Nancy?. This couple had James Patterson, Steve Patterson, Mary or Polly that married a Kirkland and another daughter who married George Kirkland. These are the only children I know of. There may be more. In the 1850 Lincoln County, Tn census John? was not listed with the family. Wonder if he died between 1840 and 1850. In the 1850 census James and Martha and their family, Nancy and 3 Harris children are all living with Nancy's daughter who married George Kirkland and their children. If anyone can help me with this problem I would be forever grateful. I guess I should explain as I reread this that I am not positive his name is John. I am going by the fact that James named his firstborn son John Wesley Patterson. Delores Phillips Sisco
