General Notes: Husband - Capt. John Patton


He laid out Pattonville (later Pine Grove Mills), Centre County, Pennsylvania, in 1815; removed to Tioga County in 1817, and was prothonotary of that county, but returned to Milesburg in 1825, whence he removed to Clearfield County in 1827.
As a young man he served as a lieutenant in the U. S. navy under Commodore Decatur.

He was associate judge of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, succeeding his brother-in-law, Moses Boggs.

Before he was seventeen years old he started on a voyage to China on board the ship "Woodruff," and he was not yet nineteen when he was appointed midshipman under Commodore Stephen Decatur. He was a classmate and warm friend of John Decatur, and on one occasion when their vessel was wrecked off the coast of Africa both were treated with the greatest kindness and hospitality by the natives. Later, Capt. Patton obtained a commission as lieutenant in the navy, and at one time was the captain in command of a gunboat stationed at Norfolk, Virginia. In 1810 ill health caused him to retire from the navy, and he engaged in business at Tussey Furnace, Centre County, Pennsylvania.
He took his wife and family to Tioga County, Pennsylvania, in 1817, and remained there seven years as prothonotary, being the first prothonotary of Tioga County, appointed by Gov. Heister. He returned to Centre County in 1824, and two years later made his home at Centre, in Clearfield County. In the spring of 1828 he settled permanently at Curwensville, where he died of paralysis, having been an invalid for several years previous.
For a number of years he was a successful teacher. He was a justice of the peace for some time, and for five years was associate judge of the county under commission from Gov. Porter. [CBRCP-CCJC, 547]
