OK, All this has sparked questions for me!!! (Melba, I will send you this when I straighten it out), but I have now realized I may have a duplication as well as a new party in this subject?? I find in my notes, Thomas Patterson & Mary Ann "Roesha" Gammon with a daughter, "Mary E Patterson", b. Feb 23, 1854." I ALSO find in my notes a "Mary Louisa Patterson", b. Feb 23, 1854, child of Thomas Patterson who is married to a (--?--) Parker??? Now who is this?? Was Thomas married twice? or was Mary Ann a Parker?? Was SHE married twice??
