General Notes: Husband - Gawin Patterson

---

He was born in county Antrim, Ireland, and sailed for America in 1799, leaving Belfast, Ireland, May 4, and arriving at Albany, New York, July 4, of that year. He had one sister, Sallie, who died in Ireland, and eleven brothers, the greatest number of whom were sea captains and finally were lost at sea. Gawin Patterson remained in Albany some five or six years, then removed to Philadelphia, where he built himself a home on Arch street. He was a builder by trade and very comfortable in his circumstances. He established the first mill in Philadelphia which manufactured the tanks provided to carry fresh water in seagoing vessels.
