General Notes: Husband - Hon. James Patterson

---

He came to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he farmed, but returned to Virginia on account of the Indians. He was a prohibitionist and a democrat; was revenue collector of the Seventeenth district from 1814 to 1825. In 1826 was a member of the legislature; in 1828 was re-elected, and for several years was colonel of the militia; was justice of the peace, and filled other township offices, and was a member of Lebanon Church.

He was born in Campbell County, Virginia, and came with his parents to Mifflin township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in 1758, and shared all the dangers and privations incident to pioneer life in Western Pennsylvania. He lived on the farm many years, but was best known for the active part he took in public affairs. He was colonel of militia, justice of peace and filled many township offices; from 1814 until 1825 was collector of internal revenue for the seventeenth Pennsylvania district, and in 1828 was elected a member of the Pennsylvania house of assembly. He was one of the most influential Democrats of the district, and a leading member of Lebanon Presbyterian Church, giving the latter substantial aid in erecting their church edifice. [GPHWP, 1182]
