General Notes: Husband - John A. Patterson

---

He was a blacksmith by trade and also operated oil wells in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and in Virginia, drilling many wells. He was interested in manufacturing salt along the Allegheny river, shipping it by boat to Pittsburgh. In 1849 he was one of that great army that endured danger and hardship in order to reach the reputed gold fields of California, and was successful in prospecting and mining. After traveling in different parts of the United States he re­turned to Armstrong County and bought a farm at State Lick, PA, which he subse­quently sold. He then purchased the old Israel Hill farm in Gilpin township, along the Kittanning road, which property was later bought by Jeremiah Klingensmith, who divided it and sold it to different parties. John A. Patterson was naturally a man of fine intellect and well read, and his travels and association with men served to make him one of the best informed persons in his com­munity. He was a Republican in politics. He was a charter member of the United Presbyterian Church at Leechburg, and was on the building committee a new church edifice was erected.
