General Notes: Husband - Matthew Patton

---

He was the original settler on what became the site of Fort London, built in 1756. His first house was burnt by the Indians in the first onslaught of the savages upon the Conococheague frontier. The logs were in place and the roof was on a new house when the site was taken for the fort late in the year. The new house was within the stockade, or inclosure, and was appraised and taken for the use of the garrison. The situation of the fort was at a bend of the Conococheague creek, south of the base of Mt. Parnell, and about two miles southeast of the later village of Fort Loudon.
