[29] Other Earlier Pattons of Pennsylvania

This section of the compendium deals with a number of earlier lines which can be traced back to Pennsylvania prior to about 1800. A large number of Pattons of Scottish descent immigrated to America just before and after the Revolution, mostly from northern Ireland, and a majority came initially through Pennsylvania. A quick glance at the 1790 or 1800 census index to Pennsylvania under the name Patton will suggest this; in 1790 some 57 Patton (Patten) families were in Pennsylvania, more in 1800- and by this time many Patton lines had left Pennsylvania. It is commonly said that the period after the Revolution until about 1800 is one of the most difficult ones for American genealogy due to the large amount of migration going on. Your compiler knows from personal experience this is true, and wishes to place a few of these lines on record here to demonstrate this point. The following list is very far from being exhaustive!

A. Pattons of Lebanon Twp. Lancaster Co Pa (later Lebanon Co Pa.)

On 27 March 1777 Robert Patton, Captain of the Second Battalion of Lancaster Co. Militia, and freeholder and inhabitant of Lebanon, Lancaster Co., Penna, came before the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania complaining of ill-treatment by Gen DeHaas in the matter of his house being requisitioned as a store house while he was away on business. We do not find him in the 1790 census here but a Robert is indexed in Lanc. Co. in 1800. In 1813 This area became Lebanon Co. More research is indicated. (Note that some past researchers have asserted that this Capt Robert Patton went to Va.; evidence for this is lacking.)

29.3[29] D. Joseph and Sarah (Weir) Patton of Washington Twp., Fayette Co. Penna.

Joseph Patton was born, probably in Ireland, in about 1747.¹ He married Sarah Weir “of Washington County” (809)² According to a descendant, Joseph came to Fayette Co between 1775 and 1778. (809) It is of record that Joseph Patton served from 1778 through 1783 as a private in John Van Meter’s Company of Westmoreland Rangers. (Penna Archives third series Vol 23 p 319). Fayette Co was erected in 1783 from part of Westmoreland Co. The 1783 Westmoreland tax list shows he was taxed on 300 acres of land. In Feb 1786 Joseph obtained a warrant for 300 acres of land in Washington Township on the road leading from Perryopolis to Fayette City; this tract was called Pattonville. When surveyed this tract contained 291 3/4 acres. Joseph was a taxpayer in Washington Tp, Fayette Co Pa. 1785-1789. This man was on the 1790 census in Washington Twp (3-5-3). [Only other Patton this Twp was David] He was one of three Pattons in the county in 1810. Joseph operated a tannery and a still house on his farm. (811) He died in Washington Twp, Fayette Co Penna in Dec. 1822. In his WILL dated 15 Oct. 1822 (will book #I: 288) he names his wife Sarah and children as follows. In addition to grandsons Joseph (son of his son David) and Peter Free Patton he names four other grandsons named Joseph. Sons John and Thomas inherited the 200 acre tract “Faithful” and Robert and James inherited the remained of the home tract (30 acres had been exchanged for a clock). The other children got their share of the estate in cash. In the Rehoboth Cemetery in Rostraver Twp (Westmoreland Co) are found the remains of all the sons of Joseph except one. His own marker is inscribed “Joseph Patton, who died in the year 1822 in the 76th year of his age.” [Since he had an attained age of 75 he was hence born in 1747 approximately] This line has been treated in considerable detail in ref. (811) so we will give only a brief summary here!

a.Mary Patton, b. c 1776, died 25 May 1854, md. Andrew Wilson. Buried in Wilson cem, Espyville, Crawford Co Pa. Much detail in (811)

b.Rebecca Patton, b. 28 Feb 1778, died 28 June 1853, married Peter Free. See (811) Photos of their stones, in Wilson Cem plus descendants.

c.John Patton, the eldest son, was b. 1779-80 Fayette Co. He marr Nancy Woodrow about Jan 1801. She was born in 1781 in Lancaster Co and was reared “east of the mountains at Fort Deposit”. (809) In 1850 John and Nancy were living in the home of their son Hiram. See family # 1451. John died 11 March 1862. Children: (809, 811)

d.see over
¹ Borman (811) says he was born in Penna; Patton (808) says Joseph was a son of [28] Mathew Patton of Cumberland Co. This cannot be true since no such son is named in his will (1776, probated 1778). Many immigrants from Ireland came to America about 1775. Hanna (813) points out that the majority of the early Scots- Irish settlers of Harrison Co Ohio (see Joseph Jr) came from Ayrshire and Wigton originally, in southwest Scotland.
² A date of 29 Aug 1767 has been given for the marriage of Joseph Patton. (Ancestral file- source not given- since they had no children until about 1777 this is probably incorrect. The actual date of marriage was probably about 1776. Perhaps the exact date cited was a typo for 1776??)

d.David Patton, mentioned peripherally in Joseph's will, because he was deceased prior to the making of the will. He was born ca 1781, died 28 Aug 1810. He married Mary Free, dau. of Richard Free. The 1820 tax list shows her as Polly Patton, widow, “poor”. In 1827 she removed with her two sons to Espyville, Crawford Co., Pa., where other family members were living.

In tax lists he is shown as a farmer. Thomas died 12 Feb 1874. Anna died 1 Nov. 1869. Seven children, named in (809)

NOTES
As will be discussed below in section [29 E], one Thomas Patton, 1768-1832, also moved to Harrison Co Ohio from Fayette Co Penna. He lived in Tyrone Twp, Fayette Co. which is near Washington Twp. Was he perhaps related to Joseph Sr., above? This Thomas was a son of a contemporary Joseph Patton (born est 1740) who came to Pa from Ireland in 1771, just a few short years before Joseph (1740’s-1822) came to this area. It is possible this is just a coincidenceas many families went to eastern Ohio from western Pa at the time.

Other Pattons lived in Westmoreland Co., Pa. prior to 1800. See section [29 N below] for brief discussion.

29.5
[29] E. Joseph Patton of Tyrone Twp, Fayette Co Penna

Joseph Patton, born perhaps by about 1740, a native of Ireland, came to America about 1771. Fayette Co was formed from part of Westmoreland in 1783, and Joseph was taxed in Tyrone Twp. in 1787, 1789, 1793, 1795 and 1796. This man does not appear to have left an estate in Fayette Co. Joseph Patton appears on the 1790 census in Tyrone Twp, Fayette Co. Pa. Only one child is known with certainty, based on an entry in an old Bible about 1900. The entry was made by Rev James Patton in a clear and steady hand so Joseph’s nativity in Ireland seems well documented.

a.Thomas Patton, born in Ireland on 6 Nov 1768, came to America at age three. He “witnessed many incidents of the Revolution. These made an indelible impression on his mind.” He married Jane Parkhill, daughter of David and Martha (Morrow) Parkhill, sister of the wife of Gov. Morrow, of Ohio. This was about 1797. She was born in Ireland 19 Oct 1782 and died in Randolph Co. Ill on 14 Nov 1855. (810) He was present once in Tyrone tax lists and then in 1801 moved to Ohio. He lived near Steubenville, Jefferson Co, and died 28 Feb 1832 near Cadiz [Harrison Co] Ohio. He is buried in the old Cadiz cemetery; his wife was apparently buried in Ill.

	1)	Joseph Patton, b. 4 April 1798- died 5 Dec. 1801
	2)	David Patton, b. 14 Dec 1799, physician in Findlay Ohio
	3)	Elizabeth Patton, b. 21 March 1802, marr James McCullough
	4)	James Patton, b. 10 July 1804
	5)	Sarah Patton, 1806-1853, marr William Miller in Eden, Ill by her bro-in-law Hugh Stevenson. (810) Sarah was living in Randolph Co Ill in 1850 as head of family so her husband was evidently deceased.

	10)	Esther Patton, b 1820, died in infancy.

RESEARCH NOTES
1. We should seek Joseph in Westmoreland records prior to 1783. A man of this name served in the Westmoreland Rangers in the 1770's, but this was apparently the Joseph Patton who wound up in Washington Twp Fayette Co.
2. It is unlikely that Joseph had just one son- is there evidence for siblings?
3. Need to fill in details on the children of Thomas.

[29] F. Gen John Patton of Mifflin [Centre] Co. Penna

[Maj. Gen] John Patton was “ born in Sligo, Ireland in 1745, came to Philadelphia in 1765, and for a time was one of four auctioneers of that city, the office then being filled by government appointment. He was also a properous merchant.” (824) At the first outbreak of hostilities he entered service with the rank of Major in the 9th Penna Regt. under his friend Col Samuel Miles on 13 March 1776. John was promoted to the rank of Colonel on 11 Jan 1777 and commanded one of the 16 "additional" regiments under Gen. George Washington. He resigned his comission in Nov. 1777 and following the War in 1789 moved to Mifflin Co (created 1789 from Cumberland and Northumberland Counties). Beginning in 1784 Benjamin Davis began buying land in Centre Co. He here became associated with Col. Miles in the iron business and owned vast tracts of land. He eventually amassed some 800 acres. This area is in the heart of the Appalachians and was heavily wooded; a tremendous amount of lumber was used to make iron prior to the advent of coal mining. John was appointed Major General of militia on 18 April 1800. In 1800 Centre Co was formed and on the 1800 census his family was living in Patton Twp., surely named after him. He died in 1804 and was buried in the churchyard at Boalsburg, Centre County. (554)
On 7 March 1777 in Philadelphia Penna. John married Jane Davis, she being a sister of Capt. Benjamin Davis (RW) and Capt. Joseph Davis (killed by Indians 1779). Jane died in 1831 at the age of seventy-nine. (824) Their children, as given in a county history (554): ( He surely left a will.)

a.Rachel Patton, b. 9 May 1779, marr John Rose(Row?), a Scotsman and an attorney.

b.Benjamin Patton, b. prior to 1780, was a licensed tavern-keeper in Bellefonte, Centre Co. 1801-1803 in Spring Twp. When the first meeting of the trustees of Bellefonte Academy was held on the first Monday of May 1805 it was at the home of Benjamin Patton in Bellefonte. Rev James Linn was President of the board, 1810-1868; he married several Pattons. (554) Benjamin was on 1810 Centre Co census.

c.[General] William Patton, b. 8 Aug 1781, marr Henriette Anthony on 18 May 1815 Huntingdon Co., Pa. He in 1810 built Tussey Furnace in Ferguson Twp, Centre Co. Penna. (554) CH?

d.[Capt.] John Patton, b. 8 Feb 1783 Philadelphia Pa, in his boyhood followed the sea. “Before he was seventeen years old he started on a voyage to China on board the ship “Woodruff” and he was not yet nineteen when he was appointed a midshipman under Commodore Stephen Decatur.” Ill health forced him to abandon a naval career and in 1810 he came to Centre County to engage in business. (824) John marr Susanna Antes, daughter of Phillip Antes, ca 1820. She was born 10 May 1791(554). In 1815 he laid out Pattonville (now Pine Grove Mills) in Centre Co. He was in Tioga Co 1817, Millsburg in 1825 and later Clearfield Co where he served as an associate judge. He died of paralysis on 2 Feb. 1848. (824) Susanna died et the advanced age of 92, on 13 Jan. 1883.
1)[Hon.] John Patton, b. 6 Jan 1823 Tioga Co Pa. He was a merchant, married to C. M. Ennis in 1847. She died in Nov 1855 and he marr. second Miss H J Foley. A very detailed biography plus a fine photographic likeness are found in (824), pp 546-549. He was very active politically. He was alive in 1896, dead by 1898.

NOTE- several other Pattons lived in Centre Co. at the same time and were possibly kin to Gen John Patton. A James Patton, born prior to 1755, was on the 1800 census near John. His line has not been traced yet.
Some claim that Gen John had a son named Joshua Thomas who went to Ind. This is incorrect. See section [101] of the Compendium.

[29.G] John Patton (d 1792) of Middleton Twp. Cumberland Co Penna

John Patton was born reportedly about 1731, but more likely prior to 1728*,probably in Ireland, perhaps Scotland. He married MARY ANDERSON about 1756. She was born about 1735 supposedly in Scotland, a daughter of William Anderson, who died 5 July 1763 at “Spruce Hill”, Cumberland Co. Pa. Mary died on 12 Nov. 1767. John was listed on Cumberland Co tax lists in Middleton Twp. beginning in 1752, the year after Cumberland’s formation. By 1762 he had 100 acres of land, and by 1781 he was taxed on 250 acres. On 15 March 1765 John Paton and wife had a survey recorded in Cumberland Co for 200 acres (Pa Archives series 3 vol 4:743.) John Patton “of Middleton Twp.” wrote his will on 31 May 1790 and it was recorded on 19 May 1794. He left the plantation “whereon he now lives in the Tuskerora (sic) Valley” to his son William, and the home plantation in Middleton to his son Robert. He also named two Thompson grandchildren. (Cumberland Co Penna will book E:328). John died on 26 Feb 1792. children:

1.William Patton was born 10 April 1758 Pa. A muster list of Associators and Militia of Cumberland Co. taken 8 Sept. 1781 shows that among the noncommissioned officers William was Clerk of Capt. James Douglas’ Co., in which his younger brother also served as a private. (Pa Archives Series 5, 6:178) William married Margaret Silvers on 30 May 1787; marriage performed by Rev. Robert Davidson. (What congregation?) He is apparently the William Patton enumerated on the 1800 Mifflin Co census. p 13.[Mifflin was created in 1789]. He is also apparently listed on the 1820 Mifflin Co census in Turbett Twp. William reportedly died ... 1848in Juniata Co Pa His children included:
a.Mariah Patton, b. 1798 Pa, d. 1876 Carroll Co Ind, m Nathaniel P Martin (genf msg 328)
b.James Patton, b. 1804, died abt 1874 ....

2.Robert Patton, born 25 Dec 1762 Carlisle, Cumberland Co. Pa., died 15 Dec. 1827 in .... Co. Robert served as a private soldier in the Second Battalion of the Cumberland Militia at the end of the Revolutionary War. Although only 18, he was enumerated in the Eighth Class of Capt James Douglass’ Company on 8 Sept 1781. He served with his brother William. On 23 Aug 1785 Robert had 300 acres in Middleton Tp warranted, which was patented to him in 1807. As mentioned above, he inherited land in Middleton Twp. in 1792. For 5 shillings, Robert, of Middleton township in Cumberland Co., PA., sold, to his brother, William, his inheritance rights to the land where his "grandfather Anderson" was killed by the Indians, located in Millford township, Mifflin Co., PA., on May 6, 1799. In 1808 Robert sold land in Middleton to Jacob Waggoner et al. Waggoner had served in the Militia with Robert, and was a neighbor. Tax records show Robert was taxed in North Middleton twp., Cumberland Co., PA., from 1802 thru 1826, no record of him on next tax list in 1829. We find no record of deed from him and/or wife in Cumberland Co., for this taxed property. Articles in Carlisle Weekly Gazette newspaper: 1) dated 8/9/1797 indicates that a Robert Patton was living in Middleton twp., Cumberland Co., PA., near Wagoner's Gap, when he advertises he had found a stray horse. 2) He must have moved from Middleton twp. to Lewistown just before he died, according to obit, providing the obit is his. The 1800 census of Cumberland Co shows Robert in Middleton Twp., listed after Jacob Waggoner (Sr). His entry reads 31110-20110. This implies that he married about 1783 as he had two (implied) children born by 1785. This census record shows that he had some five sons by 1800. More research is needed to identify these sons, as well as his daughters!¹ I do not find Robert as head of household in Cumberland in 1810, but two men of this name are in Mifflin Co.

Robert reportedly married JANE WILLIAMS in 1787 in Cumberland Co., she being the daughter of John Williams. She was born about 1765, died in 1823. (LDS) Another theory is that he marr SARAH WALKER, according to Dee Robbins- see Genforum “Patton” post 3604. If so this would be a second marriage.

3.Mary Patton, born about 1760, married John Thompson, surely about 1786. Two children are named in the will of John Patton (1790), John and Mary Thompson.

* John was not enumerated in the 1781 Militia list which by law listed ALL white male persons aged 18 through 53 who were residing in the Company of James Douglass. Therefore we may conclude that John, who was not listed, was over the age of 53 in Dec 1781, hence born prior to 1728. It could be argued that he was simply missed but this is very unlikely as John was prominent and well- established landowner, one of the original settlers in this area. If both sons were enumerated why would he be missed?
¹ The children of Robert Patton might be learned from study of land records in Cumberland Co.

[29] H. Pattons of Antrim- Toboyne Twp., Cumberland Co. Penna.

After the erection of Lancaster Co. in 1730 a number of new townships were established to the west of the Susquehanna River, to accomodate the needs of the steady flow of settlers into the area. By 1749 the westernmost of these townships, the frontier, was a huge area called Antrim Twp. Over the years after this this area was subdivided many times and now includes several whole counties including Cumberland (1750), Franklin (1784), Adams (1800) and Perry (1820) Counties. By the time of the American Revolution this was all Cumberland Co., and we find Pattons living in several townships. The land records of Cumberland do not show that these early Pattons actually purchased land, and it seems clear that they remained in this area only a few years before moving on to more promising areas.

ANTRIM TWP.

Joseph Patton appears in the tax lists of this township in 1781, taxed on 200 acres. Also on this list was a Robert Patton (freeman, hence unmarried). Names also found on this list are Humphrey Fullerton, James Poe, James Dixon, Jacob Stotler, Jacob Grindle, Joseph Lowrey, and George Gordon. Each of these men also appears together as an officer or enlisted man in several extant Rev War Militia muster rolls. For example, in Dec 1778 the Cumberland 2nd Battalion shows Capt. John Jack's Co. included Gordon and Grindle, plus Joseph McClintock. (Pa Arch 5:vol 6, 169). On 23 Oct 1777 the roster of Cumberland 8th Battalion, 4th Co showed that Capt William Long's immediate subordinate was First Lt. Joseph Patton; this same unit in 1780 still had Patton as second-in command, with privates from several townships. (Pa Arch 5: vol 6, 519, 556). In 1782 Joseph was First Lt of the 3rd Co., 8th Cumberland Battalion, with Robert Patton a Pvt. in his company.

Joseph would have been born prior to about 1757 to be an officer in 1777. It has been mentioned above that Joseph McClintock was in a militia unit along with Antrim boys; it appears that McClintock was himself from Toboyne Twp., a bit north of Antrim.
A younger Joseph Patton married Margaret McClintock, daughter of Joseph McClintock and Elizabeth Torrence, on 18 Sept. 1783 in Centre Presbyterian Church, Sherman's Valley, Toboyne Twp. This man, son of William Patton, went after the RW to Bourbon Co. Va (later Ky), and his gravestone has the birthdate 1 Oct. 1759. It appears that this William Patton was the older brother of Lt Joseph Patton.
Lt Joseph Patton was in Pennsylvania records through 1782. In 1783 the Revolution wore down and this was a time when many men who had traveled decided to move on to greener pastures. It appears that Joseph moved about 1785 to what is now Harrison Co Ky. This line, with many descendants, is discussed in section [56] of the Compendium.

TOBOYNE TOWNSHIP
Present Toboyne Twp. is located in the western end of Perry Co Pa.; this is a very remote area walled on the northwest by the Tuscarora Mt and southeast by Kittatinny Mt. The main stream draining the valley is Sherman's Creek, which runs roughly east and west. The oldest church in the area is Centre Presbyterian Church. This area was settled by the 1770's and several Pattons were among earliest settlers.

The 1779 tax lists of the township shows William Patton with 150 acres, Thomas Patton with 100 acres and a landless George Patton. Living here at the same time was a large contingent of McClintocks, including Daniel, Wm Sr., Wm Jr., Wm (blacksmith), Hugh, Robert, John, and in 1781 also Joseph McClintock. (Pa Arch. Ser 3 vol xx, p 224). George Patton was still here in 1780 with 222 acres, Thomas then disappears. William Patton is here in 1780 with 151 acres; need to check Franklin Co records after 1784.
No muster lists appear to mention George Patton; Thomas Patton appears in several Cumberland lists. William and Thomas appear together in a summer 1782 militia scouting payroll; this seems to be a hastily gathered company of men from various areas so we cannot say where the men were from.
The period after the RW was one of much migration and it is often hard to follow individuals unless they have unusual names or travel in groups. Using the latter logic we might guess that Thomas and George Patton could be the men who appear in Washington Co Maryland records in 1799. A glance at the map will show that Washington Co. is immediately south of Antrim Twp., Pa. SEE section [57] of this compendium for these lines!

29.10
[29] I. Pattons of Tyrone Twp., Cumberland Co Penna.

The first time we find a Patton in tax lists of Tyrone Twp. is 1763 when a certain James PATTAN was taxed on 100 acres of unwarranted land. Between the years 1765 and 1770 there are no Pattons taxed in this twp. 1771-77 tax lists not checked yet. Then in 1778 we find William Patton and Thomas Patton listed. In 1779 through 1782 Thomas is here with 300 acres of land. In 1781 he is joined on the list by Joseph Patton, landless. In 1782 Joseph has 200 acres of land. Since he is not named as a son of Thomas Patton in the latter’s will, he might be a brother.

Thomas died probably early in the year of 1785 and his will was admitted to probate in Cumberland Co. Penna.
[E:43]. Thomas PATTON, Tyrone Twp., Cumberland Co. Dated 29 July 1785, probated .....To two youngest sons, Robert and David Patton, both under 21, cash; two oldest sons Thomas and William to get remainder of estate. Older boys to get schooling then put to trades that suit them. No daughters named, no wife mentioned. Exec- James Adams, William Foster. The 1785 tax list for Tyrone includes Thomas Patton’s heirs plus Joseph Patton. Tax lists are then spotty for a few years.

On 25 May 1795 a younger Thomas Patton et al sold land in Tyrone Twp.[1L: 347], surely the land inherited from the older Thomas Patton. I only have three later tax lists and none show any Pattons in Tyrone Twp.

DISCUSSION-
We need to identify Thomas, William, David and Robert Patton in later records. In which present county is Tyrone Twp?
It seems pretty likely that if the old homestead was sold in 1795 the brothers probably left the area and headed west- many from this area headed for Ky at this time.

[29] J. Pattons of Northampton- Northumberland Co Penna

Samuel Patton¹ was born 1740's?, and was probably a resident of New Jersey before he appears for the first time in 1772 in Mt Bethel Twp, Northampton Co Pa. tax lists. Samuel served in Capt. Timothy Jayne's Co. of Northampton Co Militia ("Rangers of the Frontier") in 1778 and later under John Ne(i)lson and Capt. Hugh Gaston. (Pa Arch. S3 V23 p 327; S5 V8 p430; S5 V8 p 407 etc). In 1790 census he appears in Lower Mt. Bethel Twp as 2 males over 16, 1 under 16 and 3 females. He is listed in 1800 census of Northampton Co. His wife's name is unknown. It is unknown if he was the immigrant. (711)

[29 K] William Patton (died ca. 1761 Oxford Twp, Chester Co Penna)

William Patton was born around the period 1715-20. Family tradition holds that he was from Scotland and married Mary Wilson there, by whom he had eight children.in the old country before dying there in 1760.1 This is not exactly correct as we have records that show that William came to America prior to 1756. We may be permitted that statement since we know that tax records for Chester County are reasonably complete, and William is taxed in Oxford Township in 1756, 1757, 1758, and 1760, but not earlier or later. He acquired between 78 and 85 acres lying on Octoraro Creek in present Lower Oxford Township before dying intestate probably in 1761. Later records show that his widow Mary remarried to Archibald Fowls in 1762 at Oxford Presbyterian Church. She outlived her first husband by many years and died in 1811, at the approximate age of 91. There was a long delay in recording the estate papers of William Patton.
In Jan. 1816 a petition was served to the Chester Co Orphans Court explaining that William had been long deceased and now his remarried widow was deceased, seeking a distribution of the landed estate and it is from these papers that we are able to learn the names of the children of William and Mary Patton. We shall enumerate them below. The challenge here is to identify these children in later records, and not confuse them with other like-named individuals. It is of interest to make note of the fact that William’s land was sold out of the family in June 1829 but the deed was not actually recorded until 10 Nov. 1865! This should amply demonstrate the necessity of thoroughness in research.

a.Elizabeth Patton, born about 1742, married John Colvin in Oxford Church in 1762. It appears he died in 1766 while she died in 1806. Her estate admin. was 1808.
b.Magdalen Patton, born ca 1745, marr David Mulvane (various spellings). Her husband in 1777 served in Capt Ephraim Blackburn’s Co (3rd Co, 2nd Batt), Chester Co Militia. He died and his will was proved 13 June 1795 in Oxford Tp. He mentions no children in this will.
c.Mary Patton, born ca. 1746, married about 1768 Henry McCormick. McCormick served in 1776 in Capt. James McDowell’s Co., 4th Battalion Chester Co. Militia. This couple had seven children enumerated in (844).
d.John Patton, eldest son, was born about 1749. In 1816 a petition was presented to Chester Co Orphan’s Court (as noted above) on behalf of John Patton Jr, son of John Patton, eldest son of William (dec’d). Said petition did not state the place of residence of John Patton. It seems very likely that John Patton (Sr). was the identical man who served 3 months in the Chester Militia Company of Capt James McDowell from 10 July 1776 (one week after the Declaration) through 10 Oct 1776. This is from a sworn declaration made in Harrison Co Va at age 82 in Aug 1832. The significance of this statement is that Mary Patton’s husband Henry McCormick served in the same exact Company. In addition, in 1777 John served along with James Patton (below) in Blackburn’s Company. In those days militia companies averaged under one hundred men and were normally recruited from men who lived in the same neighborhood. Descendants of the Harrison Co Pattons have tried for years to learn the exact Pa. origins of their line, and we now seem to have the answer. See further discussion below.
e.James Patton, born about 1756, family tradition holds that he was a lowland Scot. In 1777 he served as a private in Capt Ephraim Blackburn.s Co of Chester Militia, as did David Mulvane (who md his James’ sister Magdalen). James appears as a Freeman in 1781 (hence unmarried). He married Ann (probably Erwin) about 1782. He lived in 1790 briefly in New Castle Co Dela, and was taxed in E Nottingham Tp (Chester Co.) from 1792-1808. He then sold his property there in 1810 to James Irwin and bought 45 acres from his mother in Lower Oxford. He died intestate between 1825-29. The names of his children worked out through land records.
f.Jane Patton, born abt 175_, married John Taylor.

29.13

g.William Patton, born 21 April 1761, has been called a brother of John (above). Both were school teachers, both went to Harrison Co Va. William served in Lancaster Militia as a pvt 4th Class of Wm Brisbane’s Co, 1st Batt., 1780-81. It is said that he taught school for a year at Clarksburg, Harrison Co Va along with his brother John, in 1785. He married Susanna Lewis in 1786 in Fagg’s Manor, Chester Co. She was born 5 Nov 1761 in Chester Co., a daughter of Alexander Lewis and Mary Smith.

¹ “Agnes Foulis was born Tuesday, May 24, 1763, in Scotland. Her father, Archibald Foulis, and James (sic) Patton, both loved Mary Wilson, who married the latter, and before he died, in 1760, bore him eight children. Archibald Foulis, meanwhile lived in Belfast, Ireland, having left Scotland when rejected, and now returned and married the widow, Agnes being their only child. They soon went to Chester County, Pennsylvania and in 1772 his name is on the list of landowners and taxpayers.” (Wiley, Samuel, “Biographical and Portrait Cyclopedia of Chester Co Pa” 1893, pp 293-296) In fact, A Foulis and Mary Patton married in Oxford Church and he was on taxpayers lists beginning 1763 here, so his daughter was surely born here also.

NOTE- the foregoing section is a very brief summary by DVA of an extremely carefully documented and detailed paper written by Robert James Patton of Alexandria, who has been researching his line for some four decades. This stands as a model of research and your compiler wishes to thank RJP for permission to present his line to the world.

[29] L. Hugh PATTON & Elizabeth HANNA (marr. 1778, Lancaster Co. PA)

Hugh Patton, born about 1753 in Ireland, married Elisabeth HANNA (James1), born, abt. 1757 of Little Britain Twp., Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. They married on 24 Feb 1778 in St. James Episcopal Church, Lancaster, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Hugh served as a soldier during the Revolution from Lancaster Co. (Pa Archives series 5, vol VII p 1069. ) Was he on tax lists prior to 1790? In the 1790 census we find Hugh Patton has moved well to the west and is living in Washington Co Penna. He is also head of household here in 1800. In 1810 Hugh is listed in Mt Pleasant Tp. and we do not find him in 1820 so he most likely died by that year. Was there a will? See Hugh Patton of Hempfield Tp supra.
Children of Elisabeth HANNA and Hugh PATTON have been given as follows: ( Patton Family Geneal. Forum msg # 179 on Genforum Posted by: Alice GedgeDate: June 13, 1998.)

Martha PATTON, born 11 Aug 1795 of Mount Pleasant, Washington, Pennsylvania, USA. She married in 1816, George Aiken , born 1783 in Ireland; died 1863 in Pennsylvania, USA. (1)

William PATTON (Senior) born 1796 of Mount Pleasant, Washington, Pennsylvania, USA; died 1860 in Guernsey, Ohio, USA. He married Grace (McCall). The 1830 Federal census for Guernsey Co shows William Patton Sen. in Adams Twp with wife and four daughters under the age of ten, implying he married about 1821. In 1850 he is head of household here, age 64 (hence born abt 1786) with wife Gracy, age 58 and born Pa, with the following children still living at home:

	a.	William M Patton, b. 1827 Oh
	b.	Grace Emily Patton, b. 1829 Oh
	c.	Nancy H Patton, b 1835 Oh
	d?	Also in the household was a John McCall, age 13- there was no ditto after his name and it is not clear if he was in fact a Patton son or perhaps a nephew.

Nathan Patton, born ca 1782 Pa, not given as a son by A Gedge, but said to be a son in several gedcoms.. Nathan married Margaret Aiken (Eakin) on 1 July 1806 at New Castle, (Lawrence) Co Pa., a sister of George Aiken (above). On 2 May 1805 Abner Barker sold a tract (# 1868) of 200 acres in the second district of donation lands to Hugh and Nathan Patten. (Washington Co Pa, recorded in Mercer Co. deed book A-1-234). Nathan served in various offices in Neshannock Township between the years of 1814 and 1827 (825). Nathan raised a large family, served in the War of 1812, and both he and his wife died at the old homestead about 4 miles north of New Castle, Penna. (3) He was alive in 1850 but his wife was deceased. Several children were still living at home. A partial list of children:

	a.	Jane Patton, md Wm Paden (825)
	b.	Nathan Patton, b 1825 Pa
	c.	Margaret Patton, b 1839 Pa
	d.	George Patton, b 1842 Pa.

possible kin:

Hugh Patton, b. 1809 Pa has been named as a son of Hugh Patton by some. He was living in 1850 in Spencer Twp., Guernsey Co Ohio, age 36, born Pa, hence born about 1814. If either date is correct there seems to be an improbably large gap between the birth of the older children and Hugh! [This young Hugh might have been instead a grandson of Hugh Patton] Hugh marr Maria[h] ... about 1839 surely in Ohio. She was born 1815 in Penna.

	a.	James Patton, b 1840 Oh
	b.	Jane Patton, b. 1843 Oh
	c.	David Patton, b. 1845 Oh
	d.	Robert Patton, b. 1847 Oh

[29] M. PATTONS of Sugarcreek & Franklin Twp, Armstrong Co Penna

J ohn Patton, born presumably in the 1780's, appears as head of household in the 1820 census of Sugarcreek Twp, Armstrong Co. In addition to John (b 1775-93) are two males born 1794- 1804 living here- possibly one was James Patton, who marr about 1821. John is on 1830 census of Sugarcreek Twp, Armstrong Co. An older male, born in the 1760's also appears in this household, whom I guess to be John’s father-in-law or maybe father? According to the 1883 HISTORY, a John Patton purchased land in Sugar Cr Twp in 1817 which he later sold to Robert Orr (p 527) 1840? John Patton of Sugarcreek Tp. died in 1849 leaving a rather lengthy and detailed will, which is recorded on pages 385-386 of Armstrong Co will book 1 vs 2. (Copy in my files). His wife was named Mary and he named a number of children. John died by May and his will was recorded that month. His will was witnessed by Robert Patton Sr. Inasmuch as his son Robert was still evidently single in 1849, and not of legal age, this implies that a trusted relative named Robert (probably a brother) was living nearby. [I do not find such a man in the 1850 census] John’s widow was head of household in 1850.
She was born in 1795. (Gravestone?) Several other children are implied by the 1830 census, who may have died by 1849.

a.William Patton, b. 18--. living Franklin Twp 1850
b.James W? Patton, b. 1825, at home in 1850
c.Robert Patton, b 1830, at home 1850
d.Martha Patton, b 1832 Pa
e.Rebecca Ellen Patton, b. 1836
f.Nancy Patton, not at home in 1850
g.Mary Ann Patton
h.Rachel Patton
i.Margaret Patton
j.Catherine Patton

Note that some of the daughters were married by 1849 but their married names do not appear in John’s LWT. Marr records for Pa do not exist as a rule until 1900. Armstrong Co was formed 1800 from Allegheny and Westmoreland. Lots of Pattons lived here.

James Patton was born in 1796 in Penna., based on the 1850 census. He reportedly married Jane Sloan, about 1821. They appear to be living in 1830 in Sugarcreek Twp in Armstrong Co Pa. with a young family, including four sons under the age of ten. They were living with a sizeable family in Franklin Twp in Armstrong Co Penna in 1850, family # 358. He is buried in the Myers Cem in E Franklin Twp along with many Patton kin (Genforum post 3385). The following list of children is from census records and is surely incomplete!

N. Pattons of Westmoreland Co Penna.

Westmoreland County was created in 1773. It originally covered much of SW Pennsylvania, and so the several persons discussed below may belong to different Patton lines.

The 1790 Federal census lists several Patton households here:
Armstrong Twp

Alex Patton in Armstrong Twp. 1 male over 16, one under 16, 3 females
Marey (sic) Patton, adjacent to Alex. 1 male over 16, 4 females. She is on 1798 direct tax list.
Thomas Patton, also on p 259 of Armstrong Twp. .... Thomas is on the 1798 Federal direct tax list here also. A Thomas Patton, possibly the same man, was on the Nov. 1777 Westmoreland militia list.

Unity Twp

David Patton, Unity Twp. (listed twice)

Derry Twp.

William Patton, 1 male over 16, 1 under 16, 2 females. On 1798 Federal direct tax list and the 1800 census. This man would appear to be identical to the following: “William Patton, grandfather of Robert B., came from Scotland and settled in Westmoreland Co. about 1770. Although a newcomer William Patton soon espoused the cause of the Colonies, and the day after Bunker Hill he enlisted and served through the war. He was one of those under Washington at Valley Forge, and during that terrible winter he lost two toes to freezing. He also served through the war of 1812, receiving a slight wound in one of the engagements. Soon after the close of the Revolution Mr Patton moved to a farm in Greene Co Penn and there lived to the ripe age of 98 years. He was also a Baptist minister, held regular services for many years, and officiated at many weddings and funerals. His wife, to whom he was married in Virginia, reached the age of 84 years.” (PEL item 312)

The above notes are presented as a basis for further research and are obviously quite incomplete.

In addition to the above, shortly after 1800 one John Patton moved to North Huntingdon Twp. where he died and left a will. This very interesting lineage is discussed in section [58] of this compendium.

PATTONS OF Beaver Co Penna

Beaver Co was formed in 1800 from Alleghany and Washington Counties.

James Patton, born perhaps about 1785, a farmer from Maryland, married Elizabeth (Betsy) Green by about 1810, as he had three children by 1814. His third child, a son John was born in Beaver Co in 1814 according to his own statement in the 1888 "History of Beaver County". James and his wife were of Scots-Irish descent.
a.
b.
c. John Patton, b 1814

The only Patton found in the 1800 census of Beaver Co was a James Patton, b 1755-74. If this was the above man he apparently had been married before and had a daughter Jane, b 1790, who married James R Anderson?? This man was born in 1830 so the biog ("Hist B Co p 825) is surely skipping a generation here!! William Anderson, probably James' gf, lived on Raccoon Creek.

NOTES:
1. Armstrong Co formed 1800 from Allegheny and Westmoreland. Lots of Pattons lived here.
2. In 1830 a John Patton, MAYBE born 1760's (if head of household) was living near James, above- possible father. Acc to the 1883 HISTORY, a John Patton purchased land in Sugar Cr Twp in 1817 which he later sold to Robert Orr (p 527).
3. In 1850 we find a Mary Patton age 55, with ch living in Sugar Cr Twp- poss widow of a brother of James Patton, above.
4. Did John Patton (1760s-1830s) leave a will?

msg # 1889 of 3932

Robert (abt 1770-1842) and Rebecca (abt 1780- 1884) were to have come to Butler
Co., PA from Centre Co., PA. They had a large family. One son, David laid out
the village of Middletown, now called Hooker in Butler Co., PA. David was my
grandmother's uncle, probably great uncle. Was his sister Polly Patton Thompson
my grandmother's grandmother? It's very confusing. Does anyone have knowledge of
this family?

NOTE- two Robert PATTONs were on 1800 Butler Co Pa census
