My John Wesley Patterson had a Lizzie Patterson and was also married to an Eliza Jane Lewis and she was also called Lizzie. However I know for a fact that neither was ever in Arkansas. They both lived their life in Lincoln, Franklin and Moore County, Tn. Sorry wish I could have helped. If I have anything you can use just ask. Will share anything I have on this family.

I am at a brick wall with John Wesley's grandfather. His father was named James. The 1850 Liincoln County, Tn census shows that James and Marthy and their family was living with his sister and his Mother, Nancy. That is as far as I have been able to go. I do not know who Nancy's husband was and neither do I know who Nancy was even though the census says she was from NC.

Good Luck.
