I'd be grateful if you keep me posted on any new info you might find in the future.I've gleaned as much info as I can and feel I don't know what direction to search next.Somewhere in my paperwork I did have a reference to another Nowlin marrying another Patterson and wondered whether it was two brothers marrying two sisters which has happened before.My grandfather James Jefferson Nowlin/Nolen of Blacksburg, Va. married Sallie Pate and his brother Montague married her sister Emma Pate.In small communities with small populations, I think this was common practice.I also think it was smartbecause then the sisters could be of support to one another and vice versa for the men.Support groups then were super important.Anne
