General Notes: Husband - Samuel Patterson

---

There seems to be confusion about this person. This is recorded about him:
Samuel Smith Patterson succeeded his father, Major James Patterson, at farming, near Mount Joy, and spent a large part of his life there, taking an active part in local and State civil affairs. He ably represented Lancaster county in the State Legisla-ture for two successive sessions, in the years of 1834-35. His son, Samuel, married Mary Ann McJimsey, and died October 27th, 1831, at his farm, below Mount Joy, leaving ten children, six sons and four daughters. Of the sons, Samuel Patterson, now a successful merchant of Marietta, is the sole survivor. John Patterson, late of Mount Joy, and a successful and much-esteemed coal and lumber merchant there, was another son; also James M., and Thos. Jefferson Patterson, formerly of Mount Joy. Robert died young, as did S. Alexander and Elizabeth. Martha inter-married with Thomas Sterrett, Mary Ann with Jas. B. Ferree, and Rebecca Jane with William Spangler.
Much of the above information seems to represent confusion among persons of this surname.
