General Notes: Husband - Thomas Patterson

---

He served in the Revolutionary War; enlisted from Vir­ginia and held the rank of captain (see "Ac­counts of the Committee of Safety," 1775­-1776, p. 46, Saffels "Records of the Revolu­tionary War," and "Council Journals," 1776-­1777, p. 136 Virginia Records). He served with General Green, was a scout with Daniel Boone and wintered with Washington at Val­ley Forge, and is said to have been presented with a sword by General Washington. He acquired title to a large tract of land in Ken­tucky, but fire destroyed his home with his title deeds and other valuable papers and all his household goods. After two years he re­turned to Pennsylvania, where he died and was buried in the churchyard of the Wolf Creek Church in Butler County.

When he married he settled in the Ligonier valley, Westmore­land County, Pennsylvania. His children with his first wife, ten in number, were born in the Ligonier valley. From the Ligonier valley, the family went to Booneville, Ken­tucky, where a branch of the earlier Pattersons had settled.
