General Notes: Husband - William Patterson

---

In the spring of 1778, he, with two or three of his sons, came into Cross Creek township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and settled upon a tract of land containing three hundred and fifty acres. Before coming here William Patterson and two of his sons had seen something of military life, having been engaged in one or two campaigns in the Revolutionary war. During the summer following their advent into the township the Pattersons built a house, cleared some ground, and put in what crops they could, and in the fall all, except the son Thomas, returned to the old home to bring out the rest of the family. During their absence Thomas boarded with the widow, Mrs. Mary Patterson, whose land adjoined that of his father. William Patterson returned with his entire family to Cross Creek township, and continued to live on the land he had located until his death, which occurred at an age of more than eighty years.
