Ann Wrote: still searching for the parents of Gilbert Patterson-he married Mary Cheshire of Grainger co,Tenn in 1832. he had died by 1839-as Mary Cheshire married Jerimah Walker of Jefferson co,Tenn. I would suggest looking for the the Pattersons that were there in the early 1800's in Grainger. I know that there was a John Patterson. There weren't that many that it would be hard. One of them is probably the father. What Pattersons did he live near? Have you searched all censuses for Pattersons? Who had a son in the right age bracket in 1830? How you searched all land records for Pattersons. Many times the father sells or practically gives land away to the sons. Good luck. Diana

Hi, I was gone for several days and since my return there has been no mail from the list. I was wondering whether I became unsubbed while I was gone. I try to avoid sending test messages to the list, but please forgive me this once. Gail

Thanks, Gail I have that Charles Crain and Margaret Trogdon, but don't know who they are. I also have a guardian bond for the Trogdon children. Norma
