General Notes: Husband - Arthur Patterson

---

He emigrated to America from the north of Ireland in 1724, and settled, with his wife, the same year, on the banks of the Big Chiquesalunga, in Rapho township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, then a wilderness. He purchased and located a large tract of land and commenced farming. He had acquired in the old country the trade of blacksmithing, which trade he found almost indispensable to the success of farming, after coming to this country. Mechanics of all kinds were then very scarce, not less so the blacksmith, and Arthur Patterson, at first for his own convenience and economy, performed his own smithing; afterwards the wants of his neighbors and the settlements still farther west of him, demanding it, he carried on the blacksmithing very extensively, in connection with his farming. Often did it occur that the farmers composing the settlement in Cumberland valley, in the vicinity of Carlisle, sent their plow-irons, &c, on pack-horses, all the way down to Arthur Patterson's, to be sharpened and repaired, the messenger waiting until they were done, then would return, taking them with him.

He died leaving nine children, four sons and five daughters.
