General Notes: Husband - William Patton

---

He was quite young when brought across the ocean by his parents, and grew to manhood amidst all the hardships of pioneer life; the frontier of American civilization was at that time in constant danger from attack by Indians; in fact, on one occasion, William Patton was obliged to flee with his family to Carlisle, as the Indians were raiding in the neighborhood of his home.

He was an early settler in Peters township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Upper West Conococheague Presbyterian Church under the Rev. Dr. John King, by whom his two youngest sons, twins, Joseph and Benjamin, were baptized.
