Hello David and Debbies, I was happy to see some action on the Anderson County Pattersons. I have tried for years to find the family of my great great grandmother, Permelia Patterson. She married Paul Gillispie and was living in Anderson County in 1880. The census shows her as "Amelia", and at that time (1880) my great grandfather was less than a year old. It states that Amelia was age 20 and Paul age 50. An old family bible states that Permelia had brothers Wade, George, and John and a sister whose name starts with "M". The only Permelia (or Amelia) I have found so far who would have been about age 10 in the 1870 census is in a family in Tennessee, and those sibling names don't match. I note that Wade Hampton Patterson had a son O.C. Amelia named one of her sons O.C. I also note that Wade had a son J.D. Well, a J.D. Patterson signed on my grandmother's marriage application. I can find so many similarities but nothing concrete. I also note that Wade had a daughter Amanda who married a Gillespie, but I don't think the age would be right for my Amelia. Any thoughts on any of this? Sheila Phillips
