As I read this (see below) I wondered if My Patsey Ann Patterson could have some connection here. James Bull/BUELL found her on a mountian in Bell Co. KY with a broken leg, took her home...she was 16 and a run-away, (guess they married, she stayed and had a bunch of kids). They never told where she came from. Never mentioned parents for her. It was like she was dropped from Heaven. I know my mom thought she was! She loved her very much! She was born abt.1840 d.aft.1922 from the census it states she was born in KY, her father in NC and her mother in KY. (census-1910-1920 Bell Co.KY) I know of two children: Mary BULL/BUELL abt.1869 James M. BULL/BUELL abt.1879 Any help on These names would be greatfully excepted. Thank you for your time and help.
