MARY ERNESTINE, ETHEL GERTRUDE & ROBERT PATTERSON ABERCROMBIE, ch. of FRANCIS PATTERSON ABERCROMBIE.

Photo is a picture of the children of FRANCIS "FRANK" PATTERSON ABERCROMBIE. The youngest child, ELIZABETH PACKER ABERCROMBIE is missing from picture.

L-R MARY ERNESTINE, ETHEL GERTRUDE and ROBERT PATTERSON ABERCROMBIE. They were the children of FRANCIS "FRANK" PATTERSON ABERCROMBIE and ELEANOR PACKER. My 3-great grandmother ERNESTINE (ABERCROMBIE) PEARSON FIELD was FRANK PATTERSON ABERCROMBIE's paternal aunt.

The children were the grandchildren of BRIG. GEN. JOHN JOSEPH ABERCROMBIE, JR. and MARY ENGLE PATTERSON who was the daughter of GEN. ROBERT PATTERSON of Philadelphia.

One of my quests is to find out what became of ETHEL GERTRUDE ABERCROMBIE, b. 1880, Bucks County, PA., and m. 1) ROBERT GRATZ FELL (had a son ROBERT GRATZ FELL with him) m. 2) JOHN AIKMAN STEWART, 111 (had a daughter ANNE THOMAS STEWART with him).

At the time of her father's death in Philadelphia in 1939, she was listed as MRS. ABERCROMBIE STEWART of Hollywood, CA.
