General Notes: Husband - James Patterson

---

He came to America when but six years of age from Ireland with his parents, who settled in Albany, New York. In early manhood he located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he manufactured tanks for several years. He then erected a cotton mill at Doe Run, Chester County, Pennsylvania, and in 1829 settled in what is now Beaver Falls, Beaver County, where at one time he owned 1,200 acres of land, also a tract of 160 acres of cannel coal land in Darlington. He erected a grist mill which turned out 200 barrels of flour per day, and built a cotton mill which gave employment to 150 hands. He erected the Mansion House in 1836. In 1854 he sold 400 acres of land to New York parties. Mr. Patterson had large coal interests, and kept the largest general store in the county in the pioneer days, his various interests giving employment to from 200 to 300 people. He was the first postmaster of Brighton, and for several years carried a daily mail at his own expense between his own office and Beaver. He was an active politician and a member of the Whig party. He voted for James Buchanan, but at the breaking out of the rebellion united with the Republican party. He refused the nomination to both houses of Congress, also for Governor of Ohio, when for judicial purposes he had gained a residence there in 1854. He was a public-spirited man, and gave liberally toward all public enterprises.
