General Notes: Husband - James Agnew Patterson
He was a farmer, but later retired and resided in Mount Joy, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Until 1854, he followed an agricultural life, but then moved into Mt. Joy. During the two years intervening between 1865 and 1867 he belonged to the United States Revenue service in the capacity of collector, but could never be prevailed upon to accept political office. As a friend of education, he served fifteen years as school director, and for twenty years was an elder in the Donegal Presbyterian church, where his place was seldom vacant, and to which he was a large and generous contributor for benevolent and charitable work. His political convictions were with the Republican party, but he never joined any fraternal organizations, as he was conscientiously opposed to secret societies.
