General Notes: Husband - Andrew Patterson

---

For many years he and his brother-in-law, Joseph Beattie, owned and operated a boat on the old Pennsylvania canal, but this was not a particularly profitable venture. In 1854, in partnership with his brother Robert, he bought the Rev. John Cannon farm, one and one-half miles west of New Alexandria, Pennsylvania. For fif­teen years they worked the farm, Andrew making his home in New Alexandria with his sisters Margaret, Martha and Nancy, and assisting them in their busi­ness. In 1869 he sold his interest in the farm to Robert and thereafter worked and lived in New Alexandria until his death. He was a strong, faithful and useful member of the Covenanter church, adhering to and practicing all their principles. He was scrupulously honest, abhorring debt, particularly church debts, kind-hearted, faithful alike to his church and his family.
