General Notes: Husband - James Patterson

---

He was born, reared and educated in Ireland, and coming to America soon after the Revolution, remained with his brother John and three sisters, for some months near Philadelphia. The two brothers were, for a time, employed in "flailing" wheat, getting one-tenth as his share, making the sum of 33 1/3 cents per day. Afterward they moved to Allegheny County, where they rented a farm, remained a short time, and then came to Washington County and purchased a farm in Jefferson township.
He died at the age of ninety-three years, a few months after his wife's decease. In politics he was first a Jacksonian Democrat, and then an anti-slavery Whig. He held the office of school director for six years and treasurer of Jefferson township school board for a decade. In church matters he was a stanch Methodist, and, for many years, was a class-leader.

He came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, at an early day. He purchased a farm of William Wells, who laid the foundation of the town of Wellsville, Ohio.

He came from Ireland with his wife about 1793, and his oath of allegiance was made in 1794, and in 1814, he was made a citizen of America. He died when aged 92 years and his wife when aged 84 years.
