This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UiB.2ACI/714.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: If I have my information correct, Kintchen PATTERSON (b. 1811) was the son of Burrell PATTERSON, Jr. and Peggy LEEMAN. Kintchen married Martha Ann JENNINGS. Their children were: Rebecca, Robert, John, America, Hannah, Margaret, Eliza Tennessee, and Greenberry. You might check to see if any of the daughters married a SULLIVAN, so that you could prove or rule out that Emma SULLIVAN is or is not a granddaughter of Kintchen. I don't have any further info on Kintchen's family. Your John E. SULLIVAN would not be the son of Ahazel SULLIVAN and Clarkey PATTERSON. Their son, John Elijah SULLIVAN, was b. abt. 1842 and d. bet. 1860-1865 while serving in the Civil War. I don't think he married or had children. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Perhaps someday we will find a connection.
