I would see if I could find a connection between the Kimbrough's other than that of employee/employer. Several descendants of that Kimbrough family still live in Spring Lake.
I think but an not positive that the Pattersons and Kimbroughs are related.

There are several Stewart families in Hernando Co, not all of whom are related to each other. Try contacting the Brooksville Genealogy Library and Folklife Museum.
