General Notes: Husband - Samuel Clark Patchin
In the county of his nativity, he was reared and educated, but after 1844 he has made his home in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, where for many years he was extensively engaged in farming and lumbering. He first purchased, of Mr. Laconte, a large tract of timber land on Deer creek, and for six years was engaged there in lumbering. At the end of that time he sold that and bought 1,500 acres on Whitmer run, Beccaria township, where for ten years he continued to raft and run square timber down the Susquehanna river, Marietta being his principal market. Afterward, for a number of years, he engaged in the manufacture of sawed lumber in Burnside, and purchased of W. A. Wallace 225 acres of timber land near Glen Hope, from which he cut the timber, but later sold the tract to Adam Herdman. In 1865 he purchased of Thomas Groom 200 acres of improved farming land near Glen Hope, on which he made his home for many years. He later lived retired in Osceola.
He and his wife began their domestic life at Deer Creek, where they remained for about three years, and then removed to Glen Hope.
In early life, he became connected with the State militia, and in 1851 was sworn in as lieutenant colonel under William Johnson. Under Governor William Bigler he was made inspector of the State militia at Harrisburg, in 1854, and again in 1859 under Governor William Packer. In 1861 he was appointed chief marshal to enroll and organize companies for service in the Civil war, and in Clearfield County organized twelve companies. During the entire war he was active in recruiting men for service, thus devoting much of his time to the interests of his country. As a Republican he always took an active, prominent part in political affairs; for ten years he served as justice of the peace in Glen Hope, Beccaria township, and filled a number of other local offices. In religious faith he was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, to which his wife also belonged.
He was noted in central Pennsylvania as a military officer in the Civil War, having been appointed two terms as brigadier-general under Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania. He was a fine specimen of military physique. He was organizer of almost all companies enlisting in the counties of Indiana, Clearfield and Cambria.
