We are looking to find the parents and families of James M. Patterson and Sarah W. Gardner natives of Pittsylvania County, Virginia. They were married on November 28, 1821. Their oldest son Willis H. Patterson born October 04, 1822, is our line. Also in the county we are looking for the parents and family of Nathan W. Pearman born August 10, 1820. We know the father was from Pittsylvania County, and moved to Larue County, Kentucky. Larue County would have been Hardin County, Kentucky at the time. Any help would be appreciated.

Neely on 4 Nov 1774 and later purchased 105 adjoining acres from Killian Kreck.
