    3. I recently returned from London where I got a host of guffaws when I mentioned to some Englishmen that I was actually more "British" than they. Of course, none of them were aware that (King) Arthur was a great (or fabled) warrior who was an arch-enemy of the English, but think rather he is an English hero. Since I haven't been able to identify the Ulster county of origin of my Pennsylvania Pattersons, I have been studying the following: (1) Early Ulster Plantation Settlers (2) Pattersons/Patersons in Cunningham (near Ayrshire) (3) The British Kingdoms of Strathclyde, Rheged and Gododdin (4) And Cumbric (a Brythonic language related to Welsh) and an early language of "Cumbria" Anyone interested in discussing / sharing information in these difficult areas of research fel\el free to contact me directly. We can post information that becomes interesting. John Patterson Great Bridge, Virginia jwpatterson@verizon.net
