General Notes: Husband - Matthew Patton

---

He was born on the old family homestead, where he was reared, and where he lived during his life.
He raised a company of cavalry for the War of 1812, but owing to a disagreement in regard to dismounting the men and making foot soldiers of them, the company was disbanded and returned home.
He was successful in business, and accumulated considerable property. He was an associate judge of the county a number of years, and besides held the office of Justice of the peace; in politics he was a Democrat.

He was born at old Fort Loudon, in Peters township, Cumberland, later Franklin, County, Pennsylvania.
He raised a company of calvary during the War of 1812, but because of an order that the enlistment of men should be discontinued, the company was disbanded. He was for many years a justice of the peace for Peters township, and he was twice a director of the poor for Franklin County, 1818-20, and 1841-43. He was appointed an associate judge of Franklin county, October 9, 1830, and served until the appointment of Robert Smith, as his successor, in 1836. Judge Patton was a Presbyterian, but for convenience he became connected with the Reformed Church, at what is now the village of Fort Loudon. He was tall and slender, and on the Bench sat bolt upright, seldom changing his position.
