NOTES

William Patterson was 12 years old when he came to America in 1814. He was a successful farmer and merchant in Mercer County until 1873, when he moved to Allegheny City where he died in 1889.

His home in Mercer County was hewn out of the woods with his own hands.

In business he met with an unusual degree of success and was conspicuous for his interest in other departments of activity. He was a member of the old Whig party and later joined the Republicans. In religious work he followed in the footsteps of his father, and was very zealous in promoting the advancement of the Presbyterian church in his vicinity.

He contributed liberally to its support and assisted in the building of the first Presbyterian house of worship in the county. It was but natural that, with all his kindly and noble personal qualities, he should gather a host of friends around him, and these will always revere his memory.

Home Page || Current Family Info || Family History || Our Links

George Curtis PORTER did extensive research throughout his later life, from about 1945 until his death, on our family history. Unfortunately my dear grandfather did not document everything he did. So I have quite abit of information about my maternal ancestors, however, I don't know where most of it is from. So if you find something that you can document or something that you want to dispute, please feel free to reach out and touch me through this link -
