Hi Jim, I'm Fran Priest in Nashville, TN. Found your website and wanted you to know that Elizabeth Patterson Gamble is my 4th great grandmother. She is a sister of Rebecca Patterson Dickey. Anna, daughter of Rebecca and Samuel married the son(James) of Elizabeth and Thomas Gamble. The family lines sort of converged there! Would like to hear more from you. I was especially glad to see additional ancestors to the Patterson and mccorkle lines. Fran
