General Notes: Husband - James Patterson

---

Leaving home in 1826, he was employed for several years on the construction work of the Pennsylvania canal. After marriage, he settled on a farm near Lewisville, In­diana County. He sold this farm in in 1836, and moved to Derry township, Westmoreland County, where he bought a part of the Thomas Elder tract. There he erected a house, barn and otherwise improved his farm, which was his home until his death at the age of seventy-two.
He always took the deepest interest in public matters, particularly church and educational. He was a lifelong member of the Coven­anter church and lived strictly in accord with the peculiar principles of that church, which prevented him from seeking or accepting public office, their con­tention being that God is not mentioned in the constitution nor His law rec­ognized as the supreme authority in civil affairs.
