Thank you Cousins that are sending me stuff on Pattersons in Anderson. Looks like this Wade Patterson may be my line. In my files, I think I have an error on some dates for my Wade. Somewhere I got him as born in 1843. I think on a tombstone. But all indications he was born in 1856 according to the census and Obit and these mails below seem to match that one. Can you send me more on that family? David Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2003 12:32:15 -0400 From: Sheila Phillips To: [email protected] Subject: [SCAnderson] Pattersons of Anderson 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?
