Great idea! Here's my brick wall John H. Patterson (b.1816 D.C.?, d. 1904) father from Scotland, mother from MD married in Allegany county MD 2-2-1848 to Susan(ah) Garey (1829-1904). He was married to her sister Louisa 12-31-1844. They had 2 children before her death. I suspect his parents were John Patterson and Elizabeth Wire, looking for the connection. I suspect her father was Cornelius Garey. Would love to talk to anyone researching the same family, thanks, Rebekka (Patterson) Branson -----Original Message----- From: caddis [mailto:caddis@vgernet.net] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 6:11 PM To: PATTERSON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PATTERSON] PATTERSON Brickwall Mary Patterson b.June 11 1865 Hawick, Scotland mother Mary Kennedy 1844-1924 father George Patterson 1841-1926 George Patterson ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
