General Notes: Husband - John W. Patchin
He was early engaged in lumbering and had a slide for logs on the side of Black Mountain, above Lake George, New York. In 1835 he came to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, purchasing 10,000 acres of timber land along the Susquehanna river. He was one of the first to engage in rafting lumber down the river to the distant markets. In 1847 he brought his family to Clearfield County and they resided first at Curwensville, later removing to the locality that came to be known as Patchinville, which place was named in his honor. In 1848 he admitted his sons to partnership in his large lumbering enterprises, and the business was conducted under the firm name of John Patchin & Sons.
In 1832 he came to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, [from New York state?] spending the first four years in Burnside township, but at the end of that time they removed to the village of Patchinville. Throughout his active business career he followed lumbering.
He was born in Massachusetts and reared on his father's farm at Lake George, New York, where he became connected with the lumber business in early life. As the lumber fields in that locality were largely exhausted, he came to Pennsylvania in 1835, and located on Clearfield creek [Clearfield County?], where he purchased land and began the work of transforming the forests into timber ready for use. He located in Burnside township, and from time to time purchased large tracts of land in Clearfield and adjoining counties. In 1845 he removed his family to Burnside township, and in connection with lumbering, opened a general merchandise store. He freighted his goods from Hollidaysburg, which was the nearest point on the canal, and was one of the first to advocate the improvement of the river by the State, so as to afford better navigation. He took little interest in politics, but zealously supported all measures for the substantial development of the county, and was a man of high moral worth, who gave freely to the needy and furnished employment to a large force of men, thus placing in their hands the means of making a livelihood. [CBRCP-CCJC, 565]
He and his wife were survived by seven children.
