THE Editors desire to make gratd1tl acl,:nowl- edgment of their indebtedness to the late Albert Charles Peale, M. D., lo whose untiring efforts to collect and presen:e the Patterson Family records they tr.ce the maten"al wizich forms the basis of the present work. Tizanks are due also to the many Pattersun descendants who ha-;:e so cheer­ fully funzi'slzed such additional information as they possessed, in order lo make the book as com­ plete a history of the .r,•hole family as possible; and especially to Charles L. Patterson, -;r,•hnse hearty and generous support has made tlze comple­ tiun of the project possible.

PREFACE

I~ accordance with the ancient and not yet obsolete cus­ tom of offering a prefatory word, some explanation of the plan, scope and character of the present work may acceptably find place here. This book, being a departure from the standard, may perhaps be best described by mentioning some of the points wherein it differs from other genealogical works. In the first place, it is not just a genealogical record. It is a family history. And, the early history of the family being closely interwoven with the colonial history of Pennsy 1- vania, portions of the latter have been included in order to render the former intelligible and to demonstrate its claim to interest. It is a record of the whok family, and not of any one part of it. Each and e\"ery branch of the family has a section of the book de\"oted to it-the records of all the descendants of that particular line, so far as they have been traced, being contained therein. An important fact to be remembered is that the records of all the descendants of each member of the family, down to and including the present generation, are given before the records of the descendants of his or her younger brother or sister. Under the above plan no system of numerical designation of the descendants being necessary, either for the purpose of identification or for the determination of relationships, none has been employed. (v) vi PREFACE In conclusion it may be said that where historic facts as derived from the State Archives, from original manuscripts in the possession of the Historical Society of Penney 1mnia, the State Library at Harrisburg, the Library of Congress, private letters, etc., ha\"e been found to conflict with the accepted his­ toric traditions and beliefs the facts have been given as found, with sufficient proof oi their accuracy.

(J)f C!!anrstaga S111t1Jr

IT is not often that our sober annals are enlh·ened by so ,·ivid a picture of a striking personality as that of which the. Archives afford us a glimpse in recording the circumstances connected with Cresap's War and the part played in it by James Patterson of Conestoga l\Ianor. His role was a prominent one, and was acted with much spirit. Even yet, when most of those who figured in that drama enacted on the Pennsylvania frontier in the early days of the Colony seem but ngue :ind shadowy automatons, he stands out, a real person, superbly alive. "You need not talk of your Province", he- says to a recreant :'.\faryland offender, "for I will try the country by the strength of men ! " And you see him before you, bold, daring, fearless, determined, a leader of men. His is a por­ trait in high relief against a background dimly visible through the mists of time. As to the year in which he first penetrated into the wilds of Pennsylvania, no authoritative statement is possible. Ac­ cording to the best information secured, he had been on the Eastem Shore of :Maryland previous to settling in _Pennsyl­ vania. There, in the neighborhood of Salisbury, somt! of his name, and perhaps of his kin. had located as early as 1660. Whether he was born there or whether he came on a Inter tide of immigration is a secret which the records ha,·e failed to disclose. Xor have we been ,·ouchsafed any clue whereby we could discover of what particular branch of a very numer­ ous Scottish family he was a scion. When we first make his acquaintance be is a man of importance on the Pennsylvania -1- JA:\IES P ..:VrTERSON' frontier, an Indian trader, married, o.nd ho.s o. son o.nd no.me­ suke of whom we are destined to hear more. His wife, Susannah Howard, wns a sister of Gordon Howard, a prom­ inent Indian trader and large land owner of Lanenster County. Their mother, whose name was Susan11ah, made her home with her daughter and son-in-lo.w, on the plantation in Con­ estoga )fo.nor, which plantation James Patterson and his wife held as tenants in common. Doubtless, on his hejira from the Eastern Shore of )Iary­ land to the Promised Land of Penn, James Patterson traveled by way of the Susquehanna river, that being by far the most convenient route at o. time when the ouly other avenues of approach to the interior of Penn's Woods were Indian trails o.nd bridle-paths. The noble Susqueho.nno. wo.s the highway often followed by the white man who came up from the South, as well as by the red mo.n who co.me down from the North. So it is likely that his first glimpse of the fair green o.nd rolling country of Penn's borderland was obtained from o. canoe. It was well for the Penns that he settled where he did. They were to have need of him there. He wo.s just the type of man they wanted to defend their frontier ago.inst nll com­ ers. The first Proprietary of Pennsylvania had been kept long in suspense regarding the boundary line between his Pro,·ince and the neighboring one of l\Iaryland. There was trouble brewing on the- west side of Delaware Bay in 1681, before William Penn ever had set foot in his Province. But he thought he could " whether the difficulty". So he weut about his preparations for entering upon the duties of Gover­ nor in the serene "hope that wee shall all do the-thing that is just and honest (web is always wise) according to o• re­ spective stations." He go.ve his word to "live kindly and well" with his people, whose numbers were now largely augmented by purchasers in England, Ireland and Scotland. And the Pennsyh-ania colonists, secure in the conviction that the fortieth parallel of " Northerne Latitude" formed their boundary on the south, were untroubled by the reflection that .AN'D HIS DESCEND.ASTS 5 an imaginary line could hardly be found n ,·ery satisfactory boundary for laud intended for the habitations of men. In 16S3 Lord Baltimore launched a bomb in the shape of a proclamation by which he claimed jurisdiction over the tract of land on the west of Delaware Bny and River, form­ erly possessed in turn by Sweden and Holland and now held by Penn by deed of feoffment from the Duke or York. The shock woke Pennsyh-aninns from their gentle dream of pence. The vagueness with which their southern boundary hnd been defined was good cnuse for disquietude under the circum­ stances. After all, who could say with any degree of assur­ ance just where the i;outhem limits of Penn's domain were? Greatly perturbed, William Penn hastened to reach a tem­ porary agreement with Lord Bnltimore ns to a line which should be accepted as the boundary until the question could be settled legally. Then back to England he went, to try and have the matter adjusted. The King, to whom both parties appealed, found it impossible to reconcile views so divergent as those of the two colonial go,·ernors. So the dis­ pute was as for as ever from being settled when the first Pro­ prietor of Pennsyh·aniu died, in 171S. It was in this year that, by a dispensation of Pro\"idence and the consent of the Commissioners of Property, a sun·ey was made "unto J a.mes Paterson of the County of Lancaster" on a gr:mt of fh·e hundred ncres of land in "our )fannor of Conestogoe "-to quote from letters patent dnted Dec. 10. 1734, on which latter date, "at the special instance and re­ quest of the said James Paterson", Thomas Penn, one of the Honourable Proprietors of Pennsyh-anin, confirmed the grant. Conestoga Manor, containing more than sixteen thousand acres of the richest limestone land in Chester County,* had been sun·eyed "for the proper use and behoof of William Penn Esq. Proprietary and Gov-emour-in-Chief" by order of James Logan, under date of :\larch 1, 171S. James Patter­ son, therefore, was one of the first settlers to obtain a grant of

• This was Chester County until the yenr li29, when Lanc:ister County was erec~. 6 JAMES P.AT'l'ERSO~ sun·cy in the newly erected )fonor. His name appears on the first assessment list of Conestoga township in the same yenr. On Xo,·. 21, li34 Tbomns Penn granted n patent for two hundred acres" unto James Paterson and his wife Susannah . . . to be holden of us our heirs and successors Proprietaries of Pensilvania of our Mannor or reputed Mannor of Cones­ togoe in the County of Lancaster ... in free or common soccage by ffealty only in lieu of all other sen·ices yielding and paying therefor yearly to us our heirs and successors on the said l\Iannor at or upon the first day of the first month in e,·ery year from the first survey thereof one English shilling for e.ach hundred acres of the same or value thereof in coin current according ns the exchange shall then be between our said Province and the City of London." It was on this latter tract of land that James Patterson built the house in which he died-the same house in which were born, later, two half brothers, Gen. James Ewing and Col. John Connolly, both of whom were possessed of marked ability, and were destined to conspicuous careers, and who were in nothing more noteworthy than in the extraordinary divergence of their lives and fortunes. That James Patterson showed excellent judgment in the selection of a site for a home none could deny. That he was equally judicious in the choice of a pasture land for his horses no )Iarylander would admit. Those intelligent beasts were turned loose on the opposite side of the rh-er, \\"here their master claimed a large tract of land. It was in "Keith's Survey", made in li22, with the consent of the Indians, and known as Springettsbury )Ianor. "At that time there were no English Inhabitants on the west Side of Sasquehanah rh·er, in these parts," for se\"eral families who had located near there " were, at the request of the Conestogoe Indians, removed by the Go\"ernour's order from the s4 place, the Indians Insisting on the same to Lye Vacant for their Con\"enience, as their right by treatys ,vitb this Government formerly made." (Pa. Arch. Vol. I. p. 364). .A.. ~D HIS DESCEN'DAXTS i As the Indians mo.de no objection to the proximity of the horses they remained to roam o.t large, it being well under­ stood that their owner's "tro.de with the Indio.us made it Necessary to keep them on that Side of the river, for carrying Goods and Skins" to and from the western country. For fourteen years they "bo.d been always accustomed to feed there" (Pu. Arch. Vol. I. p. 419) when "Tbomo.s Cresop and some other people of Loose l\lorals o.nd Turbulent Spirits Came and disturbed the Indians . . . burnt their Cabbins & destroyed their Goods, o.nd with much threatening & ill Usnge drove them o.wo.y" (Ibid. p. 364). In the spring or 1731 Cresap obtained grants from Lord Baltimore, and prepared to settle permanently on the land be bad taken up, his Lordship promising him his protection. The quarrel over Creso.p, though it was the occasion of much diplomatic correspondence between the two Deputy Governors, was thought to be too insignificant to be the cause of serious trouble between the Provinces. A solemn agree­ ment wo.s about to be reached by the Proprietaries in London. All boundary disputes therefore would soon be at an end. Meanwhile the horses, long accustomed to regard this as their ov.-n private demesne, a ba,en of rest where, after many a weary journey into the far Indian country and back, they could disport tbemseh-es as they chose, unharrassed by mo.n, held the intruders in scorn and contempt. In the autumn or 1731 they suddenly gave vent to their pent-up emotions, in equine fashion, by knocking down the newly erected fences and trampling on their unwelcome neighbors' corn. To add to the grief or the new comers, when they complained of this unseemly beha.ior they "could only obtain deriding lan­ guage." Therefore the rude cabins of the invaders now became the scene of deep and vengeful plotting against James Patter­ son and bis horses. A year passed, marked by growing hos­ tility on both sides, although in M:ay 1732 the longed-for agreement between the Pennsylvania Proprietaries and Lord Baltimore was finally arrived at. Special commissioners were J.Aln-:s p .A'rTERSO~ appointed to run tho line according to the nrticles of agree­ ment-which line was to be accepted until the matter could be settled permanently. This line very nearly coincided with the line fixed by Lord Baltimore in 1682. But all the while the ominous mutterings and rumblings of 11. coming storm were growing louder along the Pennsyh·a­ nin border. Cresnp was tirelessly working to widen the breach between tho two colonies, and he succeeded in setting the inhabitants of the borderland generally by the ears. One ~ovember day he came home with the news that he had "killed two bucks and two does". The company assembled in his house playing cards well knew what sort of game he had brought down. "Had he been amongst Patterson's horses?" asked one of the assemblagti darkly. "Yes," an­ swered Cresap, "I've saved Patterson the trouble of keeping four of them this winter" ! adding that he would "kill more of the creatures if it cost more than they were worth in powder and ball." Shortly thereafter, eight of James Patterson's horses lay dead within a mile of Cresap's house. The reason given by the ingratiating person who had placed himself under the aegis of Lord Baltimore was that he lived in the jurisdiction of l\Iaryland and the horses had no right to be there, nor was he accountable to any one in Pennsylvania for what he did. How many horses were done to death at Cresap's instiga­ tion none could tell. Certain of the slain were seen by di..-ers witnesses, and word of what was passing on the west side of the river was brought to their owner, who forthwith sent a blacksmith "to see the marks of the creatures which were killed." One dead mare marked I. P. on the near thigh* was enough to insure the swift action of retributive justice. The blacksmith, after ,·iewing the defunct animal made haste to return and report it. But further evidence of the lengths to which the enemy had gone were sought. N'ext day a ser­ Yant was sent, with young James Patterson, to look for more

They encountered John Lowe nnd his two sons nenr Lowe's field, where they "Snw one of the horses Lye dend ". The Patterson servant brusquely told John Lowe "it wus a Shu.me to see IL horse Killed in such n mnn­ ner, and be belie,·ed Some of Low's People ho.d Done it." Whereupon the servant and his young mnster were summnr­ ily put to flight, after being threatened with a beating and wur11ed that if they "or any other Person belonging to James Pnttersor. " e\"er came there again it would be at their peril. The Lowes made no attempt to deny killing the horses. It would ha\"e been useless, indeed, to ha\"e done so, inasmuch as they bad been caught engaging in that pastime the day before, by two men of Chester County who instantly thereafter became so "apprehensive some harm might be done to them­ selves from the Wicked Behaviour of the People about Thomas Cressop, which made them venture over the river before it was safe travailing on the ice." James Patterson's servant mo.y well have thought himself lucky to escape with merely being knocked down and pummeled by one of the Lowe boys, as be was, in return for bis blunt accusation. Jumes Patterson immediately applied to two Pennsylva­ nia magistrates, Samuel Blunston and John Wright, for a warrant to arrest the two Lowe boys. There was no delay in granting his request. The Justices were only too pleased that there was o. man in the township bold nnd bra,e enough to undertake to execute it. The Constable of the township, ba,·­ ing bad pre,·ious experience with Cresap, was by no means eager to advance into the country occupied by the enemy unless sure of being well guarded. In fact be had been "credibly informed that Thomns Cressop and bis Seighbours threatened the death of any officer who should come by the Authorit.y of this Pro,·ince to apprehend Anny of them." Scottish grit was o. quality beginning to be well thou,;bt of on the borderland of Pennsyh-aniu at this time. The help of James Patterson, the embodiment of grit, was welcomed with all due thankfulness in the present emergency. He assembled his forces, to the number of nine, one of the com- ]() pnny boing the Constublc, ormcrl with his stuff and equipped with u. wu.rrant for tho urrcst of the Lowes.

b bequeo.thing to his elder son the lo.nd upon the Cone­ cocheo.gue, James Patterson, the Indian tro.cler doubtless glimpsed the future with prophetic eye, and foresaw that the western frontier would afford possibilities of advancement no longer to be hoped for in the east. Fitted alike by nature and training for the hazardous life of the froutier, James Pat­ terson 2nd probably would ha.ve been strongly drawn to the Conecocheague Settlemfmt even without the legacy of the three hundred acres which his father claimed there. The land thereabout had not yet been purchased from the Indians, but the Proprietaries were encouraging settlers to go thither nevertheless, in order to keep out :Marylanders furnished with grants from Lord :Baltimore. In 1734 Benjamin Chambers had been granted a Blunston license for four hundred ac.res of land at the "Fawlling Spring on Cannagogige ", in the smiling valley south of the Endless Hills or Kittochtinny Mountains. He counted himself at home there in 1736, when the Proprietaries purchased the land from the aboriginal in­ habitants. Go,·ernor Penn in that year presented him with several hundred additional acres, by way of reward for the courage and adroitness he had displayed in a recent incident of Cresap's War. To quote Benjamin Chambers' own words, the gift was "for my going one of the Principal Persons to turn off Crisop and Lord Baltimore's surveyors, who were chaining up the River Side on John Wright's Land with a possey of men not less than Thirty ... which Possey we or­ dered to take up their Cumpas and Begon, or we would breake it and make them Begon to their cost ". This method of dealing with the trespassers was quite approved by the Gov­ ernor, and he was highly delighted with the further account 28 J.AlIES P.ATTERSO~ oi' this dynumic young mo.n's ndventures in going to o. muster of ::\Inrylund militiu "in quest of my Ser\·ant who was Senf at home". As o. result of this "quest", by means of which it was discovered tho.t the ::\Inrylo.nders purposed making un invasion in force, "to distrain for levies they were pleased to chnrge tho lnho.bito.nts," the Ulstermen were o.ble to meet and repel an o.rmed force of two or three hundred men, when they assembled nt their plo.ce of rendezvous, Wright's Ferry. Benjamin Chambers o.nd his fo.mous mill on the Falling Spring were powerful magnets, even drawing some of his friends o.nd relations from comfortable homes o.cross the seo. to build their co.bins in the wilds of the West o.nd struggle with the unaccustomed difficulties that beset the path of the pioneer. James Patterson 2nd, however, did not act at once upon his father's hint to go west. In his immediate neigh­ borhood there were o.ttro.ctions more potent than lo.nd in the heart of the wilderness, and companionship more cherished tho.n any which the Conecocheague could offer. In the ad­ joining township of Donegal he hastened to form ties which bound him for years to the neighborhood of the Susquehanna, where he had grown to manhood. A short time after the death of James Pattel'l!on of Con­ estoga Manor there were two marriages in the Patterson family, namely, the marriage of Susanna Patterson, the widow, to 'fhomas Ewing, who now assumed the duties o.nd responsibilities of the head of the house, and that of James Patterson 2nd to Mary Stuart, daughter of George Stuart, Esq., an Ulster Scot who had been settled in what was now Donegal township as early as li19. He had been one of the early Justices, and a member of Assembly from li30 until bis death in 1732. According to a Lancaster county historian, James Patter­ son 2nd was married in li35, the year of his father's death, and immedinte!y thereafter made his home at the Stuart farm, where )!arietta is now, this farm being then owned by his widowed mother-in-law. As the early Donegal church records have been lost we are unable to assure ourseh-es of the dates

A~D HIS DESCEND.A ...~TS 29 of the two Patterson marrioges but from the records preserved in the Courthouse at Lancaster we derive the information that on the eighteenth of December, 1735, Susanna Patterson, " for and in consideration of motherly lo,·e and affection and for the more sure settling the inheritance of the land " be­ queathed by Jnmes Patterson to his son Thomae, "granted the said tract to Gordon Howard and James l\Iitchell ... to hold them . . . to the needs intents and purposes following viz: To the use of the said Susanna Patterson for and during the term of eighteen years (if she shall so long live) upon con­ dition that she should find and provide thereout for the said Thomas Patterson during the said term sufficient meat, drink, clothing and schooling if she should so long live, and if she should happen to die before the expiration of the said term then upon the condition that the next yearly profits of the . . . plantation should be applied and appropriated towards the support and maintenance of the sun·iving children ... and if the said Thomas should die before the end of the said term then to the use of the right heirs of the said James and Susanna Patterson. Thomas is since dead "-that is, before July 9th, 1747,-" whereby an undh·ided interest is vested in James Lowry and Susanna his wife and Rebecca Patterson and the heirs of Sarah, wife of Benjamin Chambers as heirs of the said James Patterson and Susanna his wife." From this document it appears altogether probable that Susanna Patterson had a second matrimonial venture in con­ templation on the eighteenth of December, 1735. As to the bre,ity of the courtship that was a matter in which the past yielded nothing to the presenL In Donegal township James Patterson now established himself in business. An early historian says that he had a store and trading post there. At all events, he maintained a residence there for more than a dozen years, buying the house in which he had been conducting his business from his brother-in-law, James Lowrey, in the autumn of 1748. On the 10th of April, 1749, he sold this property to Lazarus Lowrey-a preliminary step to making the inevitable move J.Al\[ES PATTERSOX to the Conecocheague. These were unsettled times. ::\!utter• ings of the war between Englund nnd Frnnce had been dis­ turbing the colonies for several yenrs. The Pennsylvnnin frontier lny exposed to attack by the French and Indians on the north and northwest, whilst Philadelphia would be eusy of access to French ships. At last tho people becnme thor• oughly urousecl to the dangers of their defenseless position. Benjamin Franklin had become an earnest advocate of mili­ tary preparedness. He pointed out the undeniable fact that without fortifications, destitute of arms and ammunition, and \\·ith no mnn under obligations to military duty, the colonists were in a desperate plight. E,·erywhere n state of uneasiness nnd apprehension pre\"'niled. ~Ien therefore voluntarily en­ tered into nssocintions for the purpose of military protection, nccording to a plan devised by Franklin ; every county in the Pro,ince followed the exumple set by Philadelphia City. .Among the officers chosen by the Lancaster County As..c:o­ ciators, James Patterson was commissioned Captain, ~fay 25, 1748. (Col. Rec., Vol. Y, p. 247.) Benjamin Chambers, chosen by the Associatoni of that part of Lancaster County which lay between the Susquehanna ri,er and the southern line of the Pro\"'ince, wns commissioned Colonel, ~!arch 29, 1748 (Col. Rec., '\"ol. V, p. 210). In 1749 he attained the dignity of a Justice; and he wns one of the first Justices of the new county of Cumberland, erected out of that part of Lancaster County in 1750. There could be no doubt of the high estimation in which he was held, both ns a defender of the soil and ns an upholder of the law. When Captain Patterson and his little family followed the trail to the Conecocl1eague Settlement and took possession of the three hundred acre tract which constituted his patrimony they found tbemseh·es but a short distance from the Chambers mills nnd homestead, a good reuson in itself for finding the situation an agreeable one. In spite of many advantages, howeYer, the fair and gentle Cumberland "\'alley could not satisfy the adventurous spirit of this intrepid son of the frontier. 'Ihe length of his sojourn ,_ ......

..:\~D HIS DESCEXD..:\X'rS 31 here is not known. He was a tox pnyer in Lurgan township in 1 i51. But the Cumberland County tnx lists between 1751 and liti3 hnving been lost or destroyed, there are no means of nscertuining just when the lure of the wilderness beyond the Kittntinny l\Iountnins proved an irresistible force im­ pelling him once more to toke the trail to the westward. In n. wilder o.nd more spnrsely settled country he and his were destined to embark on the life of pioneers. On the bo.nks of the Junia.to river, where nature smiled in romantic beauty, where the lo.nd wo.s rich o.nd well watered, and abo,·e o.11, where Indians came and went on their ancient trail to the oft-visited southland, Jo.mes o.ud l\Iory Patterson found what they sought, o.n ideo.l plo.ce for a bold and fearless pioneer to establish a trading-post and for a courageous woman to make a home. The Lo.nd Office opened on· the third of February, 1755. The next day James Patterson secured a warrant of survey for a tract containing four hundred and seven acres of land on the north side of the Juniata. This was the first warrant granted for lund in who.t is now Juniata County-then Fer­ managh to,mship, Cumberland County. This grant is of especial interest because on this tract Captain James Patter­ son built his house and mills. It is worthy of note also that here was located Patterson's Fort, a stronghold of the frontier in the troublous times so soon to follow. This fort, by many supposed to ha\"e been in a quite different location, was on one occasion o.bly commanded by Mrs. Patterson, according to o. tradition handed down in the family. Being attacked by Indians in the absence of all male deienders, so the story goes, it was heroically defended by llrs. Patterson and women of the neighborhood who hod sought refuge within its friendly walls, she aiming and firing the guns as quickly as the other feminine defenders could loud and ho.nd them to her. The sa,:ages, con,inced that the fort was strongly garrisoned, re­ tired without doing any damage. Because of the heroism which l\Irs. Patterson displayed upon this and other occasions her name was engra,·ed on the handsome memorial stone J.Al!ES P.ATTERSOX erected by descendnnts more than n century and 11 l111lf later in honor of Cuptuin James Patterson, his wife, Mary Stuart Patterson nnd their eldest son, Colonel William Patterson in the \"illnge of :\foxico, which was laid out in 1800, near the sito of Fort Patterson. Three other ,rnrrants of survey in quick succession were i;tranted to Jnmes Patterson. These were dated February fifth, February sixth and July tenth, 1755, respectively, his holding altogether amounting to more than 11 thousand acres. Hardly had he taken the preliminary steps towards securing his lan

Each or these forts was garrisoned by seventy-five men with orders to "range the woods each way." (Pa. .Arch. Vol. II, p. 556.) In addition to ranging the woods, the troops stationed at these posts had other duties no less necessary and dangerous. An oft.recurring necessity was that of escorting the pack trains iaden with provisions and ammunition from Carlisle and Harris's Fort. To protect these trains on the lonely paths of the wilderness a strong guard was needed. The emotions of "ye captains in Cumberland" therefore may be imagined though not described, on the receipt of their '\"arious orders from the Go\'ernor, their Commander-in-Chief. One order, dated :March 25th, required each of them to draft thirteen men of his company for Captain John Steel, the fighting parson of the Conecocheague. Directly on the heels of this order cnme further orders, directing them to be prepared for the arri\'ul of the Commissary General of Musters, soon to start on a tour of duty. When he signified his intention of departing for the next post, each commandant was to furnish him with a suffi­ cient escort, under the command of a commissioned officer, to accompany him to his destination. (Pa. Arch. Vol. II, pp. 602, 603.) These were large demands to make upon a garrison of se\"enty-fi,·e men already charged with the duty of building a fort upon the distant ::\lahantango, in addition to ranging the woods continually '\\-ithin a radius of ten or twel\'e miles. A circumstance which the Go,·ernor had entirely o,·erlooked SU\'ed the captains from any undue embarrassment on the score of unfulfilled orders. Their men bad been enlisted for three months only. The Reverend Captain Steel in April apprises the Go'\"ernor of the situation as follows: "Upon my return to Cumberland County I applied immediately to Cap­ tain Burd and Captain Patterson for the draughts of their :;s ,J.Al\I"ES PA'r'n~RSOY compnnics, but the time for which most of their men hncl en­ listed being expired they collld not fulfil your I-Ionour'11 or­ d<•rs. )rost of tho forts hud uot received their full Compli­ ment of guns, hut were in a great mensure supplied by the Arms the Young )fen bud brought with them.

WILLIA:M PATTERSo~• (Jumes•, James'), was born iu Don­ egal Township, Lancaster County, in li3i, and cume as a boy with his parents to the region of the Juniata between li52 and li54. Inspection of the ~ll of his father, Captain James Patter­ son, re\"eals what might seem a surprising indifference to the claims of his eldest son did we not know that careful pro\"ision for William Patterson's future had been made at an early date. On the fifth of February, li55, a warrant of sur,ey for two hundred acres of land was granted to him, and on t.he eighth day of the following September a warrant for an addi­ tional tract of fifty acres was granted to him. Thus at the age of eighteen he became sole owner of some of ihe most desirable land in that section of the Pennsyh-ania Pro\"iuce. When these two tracts later were sur\"eyed the first was found to contain three hundred and sixteen acres, while the second included one hundred and ele,·en acres. The draft of the former tract, reproduced here'l\·ith, is interesting as showing not only the location of "William Patterson's lnnd, on the sou th side of the J uniaia, where he afterwards made his home and built his blockhouse, bnt also as indicating the location of James Patterson's land on the same side of the river, where he is said to ha,·e built his trading-post, directly on the old Indian trail, and performed those memorable feats of marks­ manship of which the echoes hu\"e continued to re\"erberate down through the inten"ening years to the present time. William Patterson wus therefore eligible for a commi!'­ sion as an officer in the proYincial militia, after the militia law was passed in li55, being well qualified in e\"ery respect, 5,1, ,J..:\)IES PAT'fERSON including the possession of a certain amount of real estate, which was 11 sine p1a non. He wr,s commissioned Ensign on )fay 14th, li5t.i, in the regiment then being raised to build and garrison the new fort at Shumokm, to be called Fort .Augusta. (Pa. .Arch. Vol. III, p. S9.) The Pennsyh-ania records pertaining to this period bein~ exceedingly meagre, it is not possible to gi\-e u connected account of bis services as an officer of the pro,·incial forces. In two years and a hnlf he attained the rank of Captain, by which title be continued to be addressed throughout the re­ mainder of the colonial period. Later, the habit persisted, and though to Gen. Washington und officers of a subsequent period be wns Col011el William Patte1'$0D, the majority of the people, including the historians, clung to the old familiar appellation which be bad won in his youth. To them he was alway!! Captain William Patterson. He was commissioned Lieutenant on Dec. 12th, 1757. (Pa. Arch. Second Series, Vol. II, p. 46.) This promotion fa t:aid to h11,·e been "for meritorious ser,ices ", but the exn.et nature of these particular ser,·ices is not disclosed. A search in the )fanuscript Department of the State Library in Harris­ burg is rewarded by the discovery that lie was "sick at Hun­ ter's Fort" on December 13th, so it may reasonably be con­ cluded that be had undergone great fatigue and exposure in the performance of the sen·ices mentioned. :'.\fajor Burd, who succeeded Colonel Clapham in com­ mand of Fort Augusta in the winter of 1756--57, bears witness to William Patterson's ability and soldierly qualities, writing to the Go,·ernor that he is "a ,·ery good soldier and aoes his duty well". He also speaks in his journal of sending him in pursuit of enemy Indians, and from time to time records some e\"eryday fact such as that he sailed with the fleet of bateaux to Hunter's Fort, or that he sen·ed as escort for supplies. In the summer of 1758, as a Lieutenant in the Second Battalion of the Pennsyh·anin Regiment, which Battalion was commanded by Colonel Burd, Le marched with the Battalion

in the 11dv11nco of Gen. :ForhcH' urmy 1mrl Nhnrod in tho honor of winning the victory of' J..oynl Hnnnn. He l!Ocms to hn,•o been promoted ton cuptnincy during this cnmpnign. It wns probnbly nfter the nction nt Loynl Hnn1111, but the elute of his commission hns not been found. After the Ifogliah hncl tnkon p0!111cssio11 or th~ aito of l•"ort Duqtteano and rechristened it Pitts-Rourg tho bulk of the army hastened to return to tho enst, Colonel Hugh :\forcer, of the Pennsylvania Regiment, being left by Gen. Forbes in command <1f the po11t. As it has been erroneously stated thnt Col. lfercer "with a Virginia detachment w11S left to hold " this important point, it mny as well be mentioned here that the gnrrison stntioned at Fort Pitt wns composed of more thon two hundred Pennsylvaninna, eighty I·Iigblonders, twenty Royal Americans, five Royal Artillery and ninety-eight Vir­ ginians. Colonel Burd returned to bis old command, Fort Augusta, and Captain William Patterson returned there too, but not to 11 life of inglorious ease. The following winter was replete with hardships for the pro,·incial troops. It was a season of great activity for every one connected with military affairs throughout the Province, 11 trial of endurance for both officers and enlisted men such as only the mo11t hardy could stand. The late commander of Fort Duquesne, who hnd retreated with part of his troops up the Allegheny river to Fort Yenango, on the approach of Gen. Forbes' army, in Xovember, li58, was diligently laying plans for the next year's campaign. The hope oi retaking Fort Pitt being e,·er present with the French, they awaited the coming of spring to begin active preparations to that end, but in the meantime were most "industrious in making interest with nil the differ­ ent Indians, and endea,·ouriug to turn them in their fL1 ,·our". The Shawanas, the Delawares and the Six Xations alike, being uncertain as to which of the two great contending po,vers would eventually prove the stronger, were playing a crafty game of diplomacy. Their deputies journeyed from Fort Venango to Fort Pitt, and from Fort Pitt to Phila­ delphia, while they tried to forecast the eventualities of the rutur... lly 1111 1111,111111 ,m,r11, I.C.I l1l'r11ptill1C tho hn1pit11lity or Lhulr Jo:i1.rll11li l,rc1tlwr1, tlwy w,rc, rre,1u1nt i11e11t11 of Colontl M11rc,1r 11L J•'ort J'iLL, wl11•r1 Uu,re were 11over le1111 th11n a hun• drod 11borl.rlr11•11 at uny time during th, winter, So the 11v• urnl hu11dr11cl troo111111long the Communlcnt.lon wero kept bu ■y tryln1 to keep tho l'ILt.■.bour« larder ■ upplled. :Sot only tho ruon, but tl11, r111ck hor1e■ died, and the lnrm wagon ■ wore out 01.1 that vory hilly nnd equally ■ tony road to the we■t, while the dlplomatlo gu.me wu going on, Tho provincial authoritie■ were tar from expectiag that they woulJ bu permitted to remain in quiet and undi ■ turbed poueuiou of the we■ tel"l country which hnd been 10 precipi­ tately abandoned in tbe autumn.

By a happy chance, we are favored with a hint concern­ ing the 1pecial line or duty in which Captain William Patter­ son was engroB1ed during a part of the winter. Tucked away in the M1mu1cript D~partnient of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania is the following letter addressed to Colonel James Burd: "Sir I 11et out today for Fort Wenango in company with sixteen able Warrien, mo11tly of the Delaware :Sation, a particular act. of which I have wrote his Excellency General Forbes. I am Sr. with due respect your most humble Servt. Wll PATTERSOS. Fort Augusta January 21st l i59 ". (Shippen Papen, v. 4, p. 3.) From this brief note we gather the interesting fact that Captain WiJl;am Patterson had be~n detailed for the arduous and highly ,mportant duty of gaining information such as 5;

could bo obtuinod only by n \'i11it to tho I;rench fort 011 the northwe11tern frontier.

As a revealer of U!!Cfol in­ formation, whut could be more desirable just u.t thu.L par• ticulu.r tiwe thun 11 "lusty able French prisoner"'! \\' ell might Captain Juwes Patterson be pnrdoned for taking u cer• tuin and quite obvious pride in bis son's achievement. In the spring the Fr~nch pushed their prepu.rations for i.he 11ttack on .Fort Pitt. In July those prepnr11tio1111 were completed. Fort :\fo::ilault-which is French for Ven11ngo­ w11s bustling with seve1, hundred French troops and u thou­ sand Indians belonging to twelve different nations. :\Iu.ny boats and canoes were assembled in readiness on the river, anu several cannon had been brought by way of Presqu' Isle and Le Boeuf to be used in the assault on the wnlls of the English fort. Then came news of a largo English force marching agaiI?st :;iagnra, and of Sir William Johnson with the Six ~ations joining the English army. The French at \'ennngo imIJJcitt nnd Fort Burd, 011 Colonel Burd'e new fort nt Redstone Old Fort wn11 called.

Historians who have described Cnptnin William Putter­ son's fort or block-house differ in their opinions regarding the d11tc of its erection. This, therefore, mui;t remnin 11 mntter of co1.jcctnre .. \\'ritcl'!'l ugree in 11II other particular!', however, nncl us it was still standing in the middle of the nineteenth century, roundi11g out a useful existence in a time of pence by !'erving the purposes of u corn-crib, the dt•scription may be uccepted as nuthentic in all its details. Jt was tweh-e feet iaqnare, and eight logs high, with a slate roof, ns a protection from fire. The chinks between the logs were filled in with !'tone, the rifle holes were cut with n flare on the inside. so that rifles could he pointed in any direction. This diminu­ ti\"e "fort", defended by William Patteri:on and young rifle­ men of the neighborhood of the Juniata successfully withstood :ill attempts of the Indians to capture or destroy it. That it did so must be attributer] chiefly to the coumge and ability :>f its owner, seconded by the loyalty and rnperior marksman­ ship of his men. ---

Thus, perchance, was an Indian war averted. Several weeks later an express arrived ut Juniata with nn important letter for (;uptain William Patterson. It was scaled with the official seal of the Governor of the Province, 11nd when he opened it be found it was a commission ap• pointing him a Justice of the Peace. On the nineteenth of Februar:·, li68, it was recorded in the minutes of the Provincial Council that" Captain William Patterson having recommended himself to the Governor by his late Spirited and commendable Conduct in apprehending Frederick Stump and John Ironcutter, and delivering them to the Custody of the Sheriff of Cumberland, and his Honour, upon inquiry .finding that he was well qualified for the office of a llagistrate, this day issued a special Commission appoint­ ing him a Justice of the General Quarter Sessions of the peace and of the County Court of Common Pleas for the County of Cumberland." (Col. Rec. Vol. IX, p. 4i0.) When it was known that the Go\·ernor had conferred this honor upon the popular young captain in recognition of his meritorious conduct, u wa,·e of appro\·al swept the Pro\·• 68 .TA.MES P.ATTERSON ince. Stump's friends, indeed, had vowed vengeance upon him nnd were seeking his life. A guard stood on duty at his house day nnd night, in c.onsequence. But all right-minded citizens applauded his behavior warmly. Six of the Justices of Cumberland County were mo\"cd to the point of writing the Go,·crnor the following note : '' We nre, with mnny others, highly pleased ,,;th the brave Conduct of Captnin William Patterson. (Ht> did Honour to our County) And the notice your Honour has taken of :Merit in the )Innner of expres.qing your approbation, we persuade, will in­ fluence not only the Young )Inn himself, but others, to beh:we worthily.

At ic:ever:.il times, later, commissious as Ju~tice of Pence were bestowed upon '\Villium P:ittel'!'on-one on :'.\Iny 23:-d, 1770, one on April 6th, 1771, ,vhilst he wus still a resident ot' Cumberland County, (Pn. Arch. Vol. IX, Second Series, p. 790) and one in 1773, after he hnd moved to Northumberland County, where he owned much land. (Pa.. Arch. 2nd Series, Vol. IX, p. i98.) He wns the owner of a lnrge part of the !nnd on which the to,vn of Northumberland was laid out. This he sold in 1772 or 1773, and in the latter year he ex­ changed a trac: containing set'en hundred acres of land sit­ uated in the southe:istem part of Xorthumberland County, for an impro'\"ed farm in Paxtang Township, Lancaster County, to which he movE:d. On Dece:nber 15th, 1774, he was elected to the Committee of Inspection and Observation of Lancaster County, io represent Upper Pn.-,,:tang. In the spring of 1775 he mo,·ed into the borough of Lancaster. On June 16th it was agreed that he should be a member of the standing Com­ mittee of Inspection for Lancaster County, but as he begged to be allowed to resign from this committee his request was granted.

The abo,-e extract from the )Iinutes of the Committee of Correspondence for Lancaster County is quoted vC'!"bati1n for the reason that it is the first intimation we h:i.,c that Willium Patterson has now been accorded the rank of Lieut. Colonel of the 1st Battalion of Lancaster County Associators. .-\ta meeting of the Committee of Correspondence on the 14th of July following, it was resoh-ed "that a good common tent be presented to Col. Willio.m Patterson for the serrice he rendered this County by his assistance in raising the Rifle Company marched from this County under the command of Capt. Smith". Captain Smith himself, before he marched for 70 J..UIES PATTERSON' Boston, wrote to the Committee informing them of the officers elected for his company, and referring to the aid given in recruiting men for his company by Lt. Col. Patterson of the 1st Battalion of the Lancaster !\Iilitia. 'fhe printed records of the Revolution are void of all mention of him. Whether be met the fate of that large num­ ber of American officers who were taken prisoners and placed on parolc--wbetber be was wounded in action-or whether be was the victim of some accident-history is mute on the subject. By recourse to the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress and the Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, we learn that he was employed in the American Secret Service in 1779, 1780 and 1781, and that he was no longer enjoying his former robust health. On the fourteenth of February, lii9, he writes from Cumberland County to General Greene as fol­ lows: "Sir- I recei\"ed your fa\"our pr.

"Cumberland County, .April 3rd lii9 Sir This day Hicks returned from Shamong where he met with twenty five of the Troops in pay of Britain & about thirty warriers of the )lingo, :Munsey & Tascnroro Tribes. The whites were commanded by 11 Sa.rgt. who to1d Hicks the officer was gone to the Lake to meet 11 reinforcement of Troops.

Haying drawn upon the llanuscript Di\"ision of the Library of Congress for the aboye correspondence between 78 JAMES P.A.TTERSO:X- General Washington and Colonel Patterson, we may revert for a minute to the Manuscript Department of the American Philosophical Society, where reposes a letter l'ITitten to Colonel Patterson by General Greene, on the eleventh of Jane, 17i9. A single ::;entence contained in this letter serves to convey an idea of the fate which had now overtaken Colonel Patterson, as an officer in the secret service. We quote briefly : " I see by a letter of yours to Col. Stewart that yon have been suspected of treasonable practises-This suspicion I suppose arises from the people not knowing the nature of your appointment". " Alas ! for the rarity Of Christian charity Under the sun." What Colonel Patterson suffered irom hints and innu­ endoes, from indirect accusations and vague half-truths may easily be guessed. It was a painful and tr;ing experience for an officer proud and sensitive, and at the same time conscious of having acted worthil.Y.. The ne:

Colonel Patterson was still in the se1'\"ice, Ill! proved by a Continental powder account sent to him by Col. Cornelius Cox, D. Q. l\I. G., dated Estherton, June 6, liSO, addressed to Col. William Patterson, Liberty Hall. The following letter to Col. John Davis is marked "Pub­ lick" "Liberty Hall December 18th liS0 .l[y dear Sir I am in need of 11.

This 1etter addressed to "Colo'! John Da,·is, Prospect", wns written but a fe"· months before Col. Patterson's death, which occurred some time m li82. Liberty Hall, Colonel Patterson's place on the Sasque­ l111nna, was probably built in lii6, in ,..-hich year William Patterson was first ta..-..cd as a resident of Cumberland County -thut is, of Cumberland County as it _exists at present. Formerly Cumberland County included the land on the Juni­ ata, Inter embraced in )Iifi!in and Juniata Counties, and Wil­ lium Patterson and his father had both been numbered among its residents. Captain James Patterson died a resident of Cumberland County, as it was then, and William Patterson .-L~D ms DESCE2'"D.A....~TS 81 wns still taxed as a non-resident of the distant township of Fer­ munagb, Cumberland County, when be purchased his land in East. Pennsborough Township. As early as 1 i71 he had pur­ chased a tract of fifty acres of land on the west side of the Sus­ quehanna, next the site of the old Indian town which had been opposite John Harris's trading-post when _he w11s first ferried across the river as a boy of twelve in 1749. In -1774 he bongbt from his sister-in-law Margaret Findley, her half of two tracts of land which she and her sister, Esther Findley Patterson, inherited from their mother, it having been the property of their grandfather, John Harris. In 1775 he bought a hundred and thirty additional acres adjoining the other land, so that the whole estate in East Pennsborougb Township, Cumberland County, contained a total of six hun- dred and eighty-two acres. · Liberty Hall is now only a memory. Even its name passed into oblivion many years ago, except among the few with whom it sunived as a family tradition. Of all the varied attractions that once it boasted, when it was the abode of old-fashioned hospitality and when its owner needed no other address on his letters than just " Colonel William Pat­ terson, Cumberland County", only the stately flowing river remains, spreading in expansive beauty beneath its high banks. The eye may dwell as restfully as of old upon its serene and unchanged loveliness, even though a busy city rises on the opposite shore, though the woods are gone and the hayfield that stretched along the river's brink has been cut up into building lots. After her husband's death Esther Patterson continued to make her home at Liberty Hall, until her death early in 1789. The East Pennsborough estate was sold by her execu­ tors, April 15th, 1790, the consideration being eight hundred and eighty-six pounds, one shilling, six pence. Later the mansion house probably was burned down.

GALBRAITH P ATT.rmsos• (William•, James', James•), the eldest son of Colonel \Villiam Patterson, 11Dd his only child by his first wife, Isabella Galbraith, daughter of Captain John Galbraith, of Donegal, Lancnster Crunty, Pennsylvania, was bom October 29th, li64. It bus been frequently stated that he was born at )fcxico, Juniata County, but we are confident that this is au error and that he probably was born at tl1e house of his grandfather, John Galbraith. An old prayer book has it in this entry : " Galbraith, the son of William and Isabella Patterson, born 29th October 176-, at 9 o'clock P. M." -the last figure of the year being tom out. However, we find in the beautiful burying gronnd of the old Donegal Pres­ byterian Church bis mother's tombstone which rends: "Here lies the body of Isabella Patterson, daughter of John Gal­ braith, who died the 29th day of October anno. liG4, in the 21st year of her age." He was her only child and she died at his birth ; and as she sleeps in eternal peace within the shadow of the famons old church in which both the Patter­ sons and the Galbraitbs had worshipped from its foundation she was no doubt carried here for interment from her father's house, not far away. Her husband, William Patterson, mar­ ried again and had other children and spent most of his life elsewhere, but he continued to have all attachment for this sacred spot, and in the list of members of Donegal Church prepared by the Re\·. Colin lfacFarquhar, during the Ameri­ can Revolution, we find that William Patterson had then a seat, sharing a pew with his cousi11s the Howards, and on this list, attached to William Patterson's name, is the notation: "died soon after". Doubtless Colonel William Patterson on hls many trips from his plantation, "Liberty Hall ", in Cum- 86 J,.\..'\!ES P.ATTERSON berland County, to Lancaster and Philadelphia, and to the American army in the field, found time as be traveled to and fro to spend now and then a Sabbath in Donegal and attend services in this church in which he bad a birthright. It hns been a tradition among the descendants of Galbraith Patter­ son that his early childhood was largely spent with his grand­ mother, Dorcas Galbraith ; and of his childhood we know little more. All accounts agree that he was well educated, but the details aro missing; and the only definite information we now have is contained in a letter from General William Thompson of Carlisle, whose daughter be later married, ad­ dressed to the General's brother-in-law, George Read of Dela­ ware, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, which reads: "Philadelphia, 13th March 1781 Dear Brother- This will be handed you by Mr Patterson, a young gen­ tleman who is on his way.to Chester to study under Doctor Sam­ uel Smith. His father ~ a very particula1· friend of mine, and should he make any stay in :Sewcastle I beg leave to recommend !Jim to your friendly notice." At that time Galbraith Patterson was in his seventeenth year, and he probably finished bis education at Chester. Later be studied law with the Hon. Jasper Yeates at Lan­ caster, and was admitted to practice at the Lancaster bar in I 787, May term of Court, on motion of his preceptor, Judge Yeates. His father having died in 1782, leaving a large landed estate, which was being administered by John Bu­ chanan and John Hulings, appointed November 23rd, 1782, by the Court of Cumberland County, Galbraith Patterson was also made an administrator, and most of bis time was devoted to the business affairs of his family. At some date unknown, probably in the autumn of 17S7, or in 1788, he married Catherine Thompson, who was born at Carlisle, Pa., June 1st, 1770. She was the daughter of General William Thompson, of Carlisle, the distinguished soldier who commanded Penn­ syh-ania's first troops in the Revolution, and her mother was

George Ross, or Lancnstor, Signer or the Declaration or Independence, with whom she wo.s liv­ iug at the time or her marriage to William Thompson. In 1789 Galbraith Patterson was admitted to practise nt the Dauphin County bar, and in September, 1790, he wo.s ad­ mitted to practise at the bar or the newly erected county or lfifflin, though he continued to reside in Harrisburg until his death, which occurred on February 26th, 1801, whilst he was on a visit to Lycoming County, Pa., where he had property. Klein's Carlisle Weekly Gazette or date or March 18th, 1801, says: "Harrisburg, March 16th. Died on Thursday, the 26th ult., very suddenly of the quinsy, at his farm in Lycowing County, Galbraith Patterson Esq., for many years a distinguised attorney at law in this town. He has left a disconsolate widow and a tender offspring to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate hus­ band and father".

The United States Census return for 1790 shows Gal­ braith Patterson as a householder in Harrisburg with the following f~mily : l Free white male over 16 years. l Free white female over 16 years. l Free white male under 16 years. 2 Slaves. The third person mentioned was no doubt his son, Ed­ mund Burke Patterson, then an infant. As to his career after coming to Harrisburg, the late George W. Harris, Esq., in an address delivered before the Dauphin County Historical Society in 1873, said of him:

'' He was the son of Colonel William Patterson, perhaps of Lancaster, a gallant officer of the Revolution and in Indian Wars preceding. . . • \\Then Mr. Patterson was in legal practise there were few published reports of decisions of our Supreme Court; and from the common place book which l\!r. Patterson left, which was BB JAMES P.ATTEBSON prepared with neatne11 and care, it would appear that he wu ex­ temively read. It i ■ aaid he wu quite a h1111d10me man and or agreeable address. He contributed to the improvement of :F.Iarria­ burg by building the brick house on tbe Market Square, the second house below the Jones House.

His only daughter, Isabella, was born here in 1800, less than a year before his death, and here his widow resided until on May 21st, 11:103', she married James Orbison, Esq., a. lawyer residing at Chambersburg, in which town she lived until her death on February 24th, 1811. There was no issue by the second marriage· or .Mrs. Patterson. It is regretted that we have no picture or Galbraith Pat­ terson. A miniature was painted in his lifetime and later given to his son, Dr. Edmund Burke Patterson, but it cannot now be located.

As Charlotte Ann Patterson, his wife, was through her descent from Esther Harris Findley, her great-grandmother, a lineal descendant of John Findley, or Finley, who first piloted Boone into Ken­ tucky, and was perhaps the first white man to explore what is now Kentucky, in this family is united the blood of those two pioneers.

March 8, 1822; claughter of John and Jean Harris, whose farm wu on the site of l\!ifflintown, Pa. John Harris, Esq., of Mifflintown, the most distinguished bearer of the Harris name in Pennsylvania during the latter part ot the eighteenth centary, was born in the parish of Raphoe, Coanty Donegal, Ireland, in li23. He was the son of James Harris and his second wife, Janet McCJare, and grandson of Edward Harris and his wife, Flora Douglas, who belonged to the great Scottish house of Douglas. Edward Harris, born in Ayrshire, Scotland, was one of the Presby­ terians who fled from Scotland to Donegal, Ireland, dur­ ing the religious troubles in Scotland in the time of King Charles II. John Harris married as his second wife, Jean Harris, daughter of John and Grizel (Steel) Harris, and by birth his cousin. They came to America and settled first on the Swatara, in Lancaster Coanty, Pa., aboat 1752. In Febru­ ary, }!arch and June, 1755, he was granted three several warrants of survey for land on the north side of Penn's Creek, in what was then Camberland County, and later was included in the limits of Northumberland County, upon the erection of that county in l 7i2. These three adjoining tracts, covering an area of nearly eleven hundred acres, were surveyed by Colonel John Armstrong and the warrants were sent to Robert l\Iorris, Esq., then Commissioner of Property, to be signed. Bat they never were signed. The drafts of the surveys were burnt, together with many other papers in Colonel Arm- 130 J.AMES P .ATTET

A patriotic, able and uaet'ul citizen, he died at bi1 home in Mifflintown, Pa., on &he 28th of February, 1704. The two mill■ which Captain James Pattenon bequeathed to hi1 10n, Jame■ Pattenon 3rd, had Jiot been completed at &be time of bis death. In fact they were not completed until the boy had grown to manhood. The old grilt mill near the bouae wa■ the only mill which Mr■• Pattenon kept in opera­ tion during the minority of her three younger children, James, Elizabeth and George. In 1779 James wa■ listed among the taxpayers a■ a married man, although he was not taxed for any real e■tate whatever-from which circumstance it may be inferred that he had not yet attained his majority. In 1780 his mother gave him two huDdred acres ofland. In 1781 he had the saw mill in operation, aDd in 1782 a folliDg mill had been added to his taxable property. He continued to operate the two mills from that year until 1792, when he sold them to his nephew, Galbraith Patterson, Esq., of Harris­ burg, the eldest son of his brother, Colonel William Patterson.

Baldridge, of Hollidaysburg, Pa.; admitted to practice at the Blair County bar, May, lSiS ; admitted to practice in Clearfield County, June li, lSiS. He first located at Houtz­ dale, Pa., and while living there married. In April, 1895, he remo,·ed with his family to Clearfield, where he continued to reside to the time of his death. He was a partner in the 13S ,J..UIES P .ATTERSOX well-known firm ot' Patterson and Gleason from 1S9i to 1015, after which time he was associated with his son, William Hutchison Patterson, Jr., under the firm name of Patterson and P1ittcrson. As a lawyer be was scrupulously exact and honest in his dealings with his clients, and during his houor­ able career handled many estates, involving much money, without a taint of suspicion as to their honest and careful ad­ ministration. An absolute stranger to the use of tobacco or liquor, and most exemplary in his family life, he ever served as a most worthy model to the men of a younger generation. Always polite and afl'nble he was a fine representative of the gentleman or the old school. He was public-spirited, and actively interested himself in works of civic merit. When he died be was president of the Clearfield :National Bank, and a Mason of high standing. In politics he was a Democrat, but never a candidate for office except in 1914, when he was nominated for State Senator, but was defeated in the landslide that swept the State that year. He married at Clearfield, October 11th, 18S2, Frances Foley, daughter of the Hon. William Curtin Foley and Anna l\I. Thompson, his wife, b. at Luthersburg, Clearfield County, Pa. They hnd i!!llue: i.

Of his early life we have little record, but he is said to have been a handsome man and one wLo wns generally popular. The State Records of Pennsylvania show that an election was held at the Court House in the Borough of Hun­ tingdon, Huntingdon County, on May 25th, 18G0, nt which he was elected Lieut.-Colonel, 1st Reg. Light Infantry, 4th Brigade, 14th Division, Pennsylvania Vol. )!ilitia, and hi11 commission as such, bearing same dnte, was issued by the then Governor, William F. Packer. After the breaking out of the Civil War he wns enrolled at Spruce Creek, Hunting­ don County, on August 21st, 1861, as Captain of Company "l\I ", 92nd Regt., 9th Pennsylvania Vol. Cavalry, and mus­ tered into the service of the Gnited States as such, at Harris­ burg, Pn., for the period of three years from Dec. 13, 1861 ; his resignation accepted Dec. 31, 1861 ; honorably discharged, same date, on account of disability. His eldest son, Richnrd C. Patterson, recalls that he later in the war saw ser-.·ice on some one's staff. Probably it was on the staff of Governor Andrew G. Curtin, who was his cousin. However, a record of Governor Curtin's staff appointments cannot be found at Harrisburg, so there is now no way of pro,ring this service. He married, June 2, 1853, at l\!cAlvey's Fort, Pa., Sa.rah Cunningham, dau.'of Richard Cunningham and Sarah John­ son, his wife, b.

GEORGE PATl'ERSox• (James•, James'), was born on the Juniata, July 24th, 1762, and grew to manhood in the midst of those romantic surroundings which teemed with stories of the exploits of its heroes in the . Certain ad,·entures which formed part of the history of Cresap's War also loomed large on the mental horizon of his boyhood, being often recounted by the light of the log fire on winter evenings at the farm. He was only about nine years of age when his father died. Bat he matured early, it would seem, for he was taxed as a II Freeman" in 1781, when be was barely nineteen. Before he w:is twenty-one he was con­ templating matrimony. We learn from the letters submitted herewith that in March, 1783, he was occupied in laying seige to the lady of his affections, being then at "Tinian ", Colonel Burd's place on the Susquehanna, and "come on pur­ pose to make suit to" the Colonel's daughter, Jenny Burd. Colonel Burd's first recorded judgment of his daughter's suitor as a " very likely young Fellow Genteely dressed & Behai\"ed " having been approved by his son Edward Burd and his son­ in-law Jasper Yeates, to whom he turned for help in deciding the momentous question, a favorable answer was received, and P.arly in August "it was Concluded that . . . J eany sboald be Married to l\Ir. Patterson on Friday, or munday, ne:xt, which ever of the days" Edward Burd and l\Ir. Yeates should fix upon. Accordingly the marriage took place on August the eighth, 1783. The engagement was short but the honeymoon was long. Weare permitted another glimpse be­ hind the scenes in October, when l\Irs. Colonel Burd, writing to her daughter Mrs. Yeates, discloses the fact that it was in the latter part of this month that the wedding party set off lGO ,J..UIES P.ATTERSOX for tho Junintu, Peggy nnd Jemmy Burd, the bride's younger sister nnd brother accompanying the bride and groom on their journoy, and nll four plnnning to return to Tininn enrly in ~ovember. It was n long, long wny to Juniatn, nnd in spito of the "very kind reception from the old Indy", nnd notwith­ standing the fnct that she "liked the pince very well ", the bride found it hard to bid farewell to the home of her girl­ hood and the scenes of her youth. The four young people rode back to Tininn ns planned, and after a stay of two or three weeks George and J can Patterson again turned their horses' heads westward. A letter from George Patterson to Colonel Burd dated "Juniata, Nov. 27th, 1783," announces their arrival, later, at the Patterson homestead on the Juniata. He says therein :

" I have the pleasure to write you that we are got home saf11 and found llama well who was rejoiced to see us. On our road to this place we met the miller, who promised to do our business at Tinian. There is a great many Jersey people come to Juniata "·anting land, but all seem disposed to purchase. I will try to get o. person for your land up the river if possible. As cash is not plenty with them I have nothing material to communicate you. With kind love to Mama and the family, I am, dear Sir, Your loving and dutiful son Geo: Patterson." N. B. l\Iama presents her kind love to you both and prom­ ises herself pleasure when the blue bird sings.

After much hesitation the question of where to locate was finally settled, and before another autumn rolled around George and Jean Patterson were comfortably installed in a house in l\Iiddletown, where they made their home for several years. There, on the 10th of Xovember, 1784, was born their eldest child, namesake of its maternal grandmother, Sarah Shippen Burd, whose sudden and unexpected death eight weeks before the baby's birth had plunged all her family in deep and overwhelming grief. A few months after Mrs. AXD HIS DESCENDA~trs lGJ. Burd's death tho Patterson fnmily nl110 mourned tho los11 of a pnrent. ;\fary Stuart Puttcrson died in April, 1785, while on n ,·isit to l\Ji

This interesting souvenir of· his sojourn in London in the autumn of 1746 leaves us quite in the dark as regards the occasion of such a reckless indulgence iu extravagant lodgings and epicurean feasts as .we find indicated therein. It fur­ nishes no light by the aid of which one might hazard a con­ jecture as tc, the extent of the "precedings." Yet, ne,·ertbe­ less, it is highly illuminating in that it throws an important. side-light upon the character and circumstances of the canny young Scot at the age of twenty. And the fact that he treas­ ured this diminutive scrap of paper to the end of his distin­ guished career may be accepted as proof that Colonel Burd possessed both humor and sentiment, two of the most endear­ ing qualities which can fall to the lot of man in a world largely gh-en over to the humdrum and the matter-of-fact. Having tried his wings near his nath·e aerie, he soon prepared for the long flight to the shores of the ~ew World, looming enticingly, co,ilcur de ·rose, in the west. Being hos­ pitably welcomed, upon reaching the City of Brotherly Love, he quickly settled down in this friendly ha,·en and became an American citizen forthwith. So speedily was the trans-- SAHAH Sllll'Pl>X ',\'iir .. r :~c,)unrl Jamt•:ii Hur:!

AND HIS DESCEXD.AX'fS 163 formation nccomplished that he was a subscriber to tho first Philadelphia Dnncing Assembly, helcl from January first to :May first 1748. When the elite of the town met "precisely at six o'clock" to inaugurate the social° function which has since become u time-honored institution of the land the event wns doubtless productive of many thrills. It was a great occasion. But to no one wo.s it more momentous thnn to James Burd and the gentle and lovable little girl who afterwards became his wife. According to family tradition, it was here they first mot. It is said too, that l\Iiss Shippen, only daughter of ex-l\Inyor Edward Shippen, had her portrait painted in the very gown she wore that night. This portrait, here reproduced, was left by Colonel Burd's will to Edward Burd, their eldest son, and is now in the possession of one of their descendants. The impression which each produced upon the other pro,·ed to be too deep and lasting to be eradicated. Despite misguided efforts of the Philadelphia family to nip the romance in the bud, it grew with magic rapidity until soon it was a fl.ouriehing and full-blown lo,·e affair. )fotters reached a climax at the end of the dancing season when, on the fourteenth day of )foy, 1748, the youthful couple betook them to Christ Church and there were married. Reconciliation followed. Parental displeasure ,.·anished !ike a fleeting cloud, leaving no trace of preceding storms to mar the serenity of matrimonial skies. The union was a re­ markably happy one. Edward Shippen not only forgave the escapade but soon became warmly attached to the very excel­ lent son-in-la,v whom the Fates bad conferred upon him. With truly paternal solicitude he watched o,·er him and sought in every way to advance his interests, and ,,·ith genu­ ine fatherly pride he witnessed his growth in dignity and im­ portance as circumstances afforded an opportunity for the exercise of his native abilities. Gentle breeding and sa1:oir faire ha,·ing secured him social recognition in the home of his adoption, )Ir. Burd engaged in mercantile pursuits as an honorable means of 164 ,J ..HIES PATTERSON "getting n. living" there. Letters addressed to ")Ir. James Burd, 1\lcrchant, Pbiludclphia," prove beyond a perad,·cnture th1Lt he wn.s for some years a business man. That be wn.s not too deeply engrossed in affairs to dc,·ote some time to the socio.I amenities too, is evident from 11. letter written in Lon­ don by bis brother-in-law Edward Shippen, Jr., afterwards Chief Justice Shippen, in 1749, wherein allusion is made to "Denr Jemmy" 's "acting a play to the Satisfaction of all Spectators". The writer ndds: "I am glad that 11.II our Ships that went for Philadelphia this Spring 11.re nrri\·cd . . • and nm still gladder on your ncct that there is a good sale of goods--I doubt not you will be able to manage your affairs so as not to give cause of Complaint to any gentleman here." In the summer of 1751 he made a business trip to Jamaica, as appears from the following letter addressed to ")Ir James Burd, :'.\Iercht on Board the Sloop Charming ~ancy; or in his absence to :Messrs Minot & Hatton, Mercbts in Kingston, Jamaica:" "Philadelphia, July 26, l i51. :Mr. James Burd­ Dear Sir: When you nrri\'e in Jamaica. please to dispose of my 36 Barrels of Flower, and if you have an opportunity Ship the net proceeds in heavy Pistoles to Mr. John White, of Croydon, in Surrey (near London) for my account. If there should be no opportunity to London, I then lea,·e it to your discretion either to ship the Pistoles to me here, or to purchase any produce of the Island that you imagine will answer in this place. God bless you. !\ly good wishes will always attend you wherever you go; because I am Your humble Servt John Swift". In 1752 be mo\"ed to Shippensburg, a village which had been nameless, though inhabited, before Edward Shippen purchased large tracts of land there, thus furnishing the com­ munity with a name. The property needed personal super­ vision, which Mr. Burd was in a position to gi\"e, and on AXD HIS DESCEND.A.N'TS 165 arrh-ing there he wns instructed to mark a11d buy more lnnd, ns well as to " look into matters in Cumberland County ": A letter of particular interest to such as may havo pon­ dered dubiously the recorded facts concerning the Patterson mills wo.s written by )Ir. Shippen to ::\Ir. Burd in li53. In it he says: "If I should build a mill or mills at Shippens­ burg I shall expect to let you have the management & benefit of it or them till further orders or until I should live there, which may not be improbable. If I intend ever to set up a grist mill I can't bear the thought of paying through the nose for joists and boards. So I think I had better erect a saw mill without a cover first of all, which can work for itself, & the grist mill too & the same dam & race will answer for both mills. And if there should be but water enough for one to get at a time I nm for going on with the project if I can see my way clear." Behold now the solution of the deep, dark problem of the Patterson mills on D. O. Run. Thanks to Mr. Shippen it becomes perfectly obvious that should the available water power of a gh·en locality be inadequate to meet the demands of more than one mill or two mills, there is yet nothing to pre\"ent the owner from operating four or fh·e mills there, by resort to the simple expedient of operating them in turn, one mill or two mills at a time. The possibility hinted at in the foregoing letter, of some time going to lh·e at Shippensburg frequently presented itself to l\Ir. Shippen's mind as a convenient alternati•;e in case it became advisable to mnke a change of abode. But he never did occupy his farm there, except temporarily when either his private interests or the public welfare rendered a brief stay at Shippensburg desirable. He mo\"ed to Lancaster in )lay, 1753, ha,·ing been appointed Prothonotary, Recorder and Register there, and although he resigned these offices in 1779 he continued to reside in Lancaster until his death in 17S1. )Ir. Burd, with his wife and children, made his home on ")Ir. Shippen's Farm" while he lived at Shippensburg, but he did not long remain a resident of that vicinity. Circum- 166 JAMES P.AT'l'ERSON stnnces were so shnping events ns grndunlly to pnve the wny for his entrance upon a cnrccr in which the penceful avoca­ tions of the merchant and the fnrmer were to hn\"e no pnrt. In 1754 the French cnpturcd the fort on the Ohio, c]nim­ ing that the Allegl1eny Hills formed the enstern boundary of their Territory of Louisinna, generously defined on their maps ns all the land between the Gulf of Mexico nnd the Grent Lakes and west of this chnin of mountains. It wns essential to British interests that this fort should be regained. In Jnn­ unry, li55, Genernl Braddock nrrh·ed in Virginia, prepared to conduct a brillinnt campaign which should include not only the retaking of Fort Duquesne but nlso the reduction of Niugarn, nfter which the victorious British Army would ad'\"nnce on Quebec. There were a few preliminary arrangements to be made before tl:.e troops could start on their glorious march to the West, a chief difficulty being that there were no ronds on which to mnrcb, and none by which pro'\"isions could be transported for their consumption as they nd\·anced. Go\"­ emor l\forris of Pennsyh-ania was directed, therefore, to have a road cut immediately. There must be a good wngon-road from the Susquehanna to the Youghiogheny, to form a junc­ tion with one which General Braddock himself would cut from Fort Cumberland to the Ohio. Thus only could the troops ad\"ancing by the latter road be kept supplied with food. Go\"ernor )!orris, being dependant upon a pacifist and parsimonious Assembly for means to carry out his instruc­ tions, had his own troubles, but by the twelfth of )farch had succeeded in obtaining what was needful to ha,·e a surrey made by ,,ay of beginning. Accordingly he appointed five Commissioners, namely, George Croghan, John Armstrong, James Burd, William Buchanan and Adam Hoopes, "to sur­ "l"CY and lay out such roads as they judged most direct and commodious" for the use of the Commander-in-Chief of all his Majesty's Forces in North America.. The Commissioners l\"ere all residents of Cumberland County, which was bounded on the east by the Sasquehanna .:\~D HIS DESCEXDAXTS Hii river and York County, its western limit being picturesquely defined us" the setting sun." They were therefore supposedly familiar with the territory to be tra,·ersed. As a mntter of fact, none of them were, the greater part of it being unbroken \'tilderness. Pilots and Indians were secured as necessary adjuncts to the party. To these were added the no less indis­ pensable chain-carriers, blazers, pack horsemen and pack horses. The train made a brave showing in Carlisle on the 29th of l\Iurch, when the~· sallied forth to sun·ey a commodi­ ous road to the west. They were none too many to venture into a hostile coun­ try where Frenchmen with their Indian allies were roaming about in bands, hunting, scouting, and cager for a fray. l\Iost of their own Indians forsook them in trepida.tion before long, and when they bad blazed the road to a point eighteen miles from the Youghiogheny n large party of the enemy approach­ ing made a continua.nee of the work impossible. The plan of the road was appro\"ed by Sir John St. Clair, the British Quartermaster, although he was e.,_ceeding wroth at the delay in making it, and far from courteous in his man­ ner of expressing himself. The Commissioners hastened home, reaching there the latter part of April, to find that they and none others were expected to superrise the work of cut­ ting the road, while three hundred men were to be engaged in performing the labor thereof. Where the three hundred men were to be found was a question as yet unanswered. Ho,, the Commissioners could immediately lea,e their busi­ ness again was another question difficult of solution. As to the laborers, the conclusion slowly reached by those in a position to know was that three hundred laborers were nowhere to be found. Xot though they were sought in three counties. The country was sparsely settled. ~Iost men were needed at home, to defend their families. As for as the Commissioners were concerned doubt was soon dispelled. Of the fi\"e appointed, one was ready in a few days to start out again and superrise the work of cutting the road. On the sixth of :May James Burd began cutting the HiS J.AlIES P.ATTERSON road with a handful of men who responded to the call for Ju.borers. The outlook was not cheering, but became more promis­ ing as strenuous exertions on the part of Secretary Peters and Edward Shippen were rewarded by the gradual arrival on the scene of more and more workingmen. By the thirteenth of June Mr. Shippen was able to write cheerfully to the Go,·­ ernor: " I imagine }Ir. Burd has now upwards of two hun­ dred men at work. The General, I hope, will have no reason to complain; for I am informed they proceed very briskly to­ wards Yougougaining." With 11 fair prospect that the road would soon be fin­ ished, General Braddock moved from Fort Cumberland on the tenth of June, keeping in communication with lir. Burd by means of Indian messengers. In another month the army stores at Cumberland would be exhausted, but by that time fresh supplies could be looked for from Pennsyh-ania, via the Xew Road. The completion of the road was a matter of ,;ital importance. Secretary Peters, in deep anxiety lest the work should not be done in time, took good care to remind the Commissioner of the great expectations of the British and bow much depended upon him, interspersing admonishments with words of praise which became increasingly emphatic as the work progressed. "The General, the officers, the whole army, place their account on this road", he says, adding, "Your conduct is agreable and desen·es our thanks". On the third of July he wrote: "The work must be finished. It pro\"es, indeed, hea,;ier than was at first imagined, but it ~s not the less necessary on that account. I shall be always ready to do justice to the zeal and industry with which you have prosecuted this necessary work." When it was done he declared: "This work will redound to your glory and the good of Shippensburg." .As the road-cutters worked their way westward through the woods, General Braddock sent Captain Hogg with a com­ pany of soldiers to guard them, a quite necessary measure, in­ asmuch as the laborers \\'ere destitute of arms.

Writes Edward Shippen to his cousin Williu.m Allen: "And moro now expected to go every dny •.. indeed it is my opinion that some nmmunition ought speedily to be sent to ye Road Cutters to keep up their spirits for if Cnptain Hog's men should continue to desert I am apprehensive that unless l\Ir. Burd's workmen can be put in a posture of defence they will run nway homewnrds." At last )fr. Burd found himself nt the forks of the Youghiogheny. He bad then left with him a hundred men to feed. They had lived six days on bread and water. And after all, the road which had been cut with so much difficulty, not just by main strength but by the exercise of a vast deal of grit and courage was not to be needed. Whilst they had been toiling on their weary westward way, the finest army that e\'er had been mustered in the American colonies had been met by one compnny of French soldiers and an insignifi­ cant number of hunters and Indians and been put to ignomin­ ious flight. The panic-stricken troops hnd fled helter-skelter, to the reur, lenving their bnggage behind them. Thus, by one of the most astounding caprices of fortune, recorded in modem history, had been brought to an end the brilliant ::ampnign of General Braddock's dreams. The dead General's body had been consigned to the earth by the side of the roud he bad cut in sanguine expectation of v:ctory. '!'be new road's usefulness for military purposes was in­ :Iefinitely postponed. It was an achie,,-ement, ne,·ertheless, of I ill wlild1 to Im pron,1-on!l worthy to bo 11ung, wero only tho min11trr,I nt hnnil wilh hi11 hnrp, RII in cl11y111 of old, to rccnll thu nrvor•tn•hc--fnrgottun 11tory.

Among the nr.w forts built in the nutumn, owing to tho dcplornble Htutc of uffoil"!I on tho frontier, 'l\"ns thnt ut Ship• pcmiburg, n:imed Fort Morris, in honor c,f the Governor. Mr. Burd, one of the most nctive ol thosl' cngnged in building this fort, wrote to )fr. Shippen on ~ovember !!l'Cond: "Our Fort goe!! on hero with great ,·igour nnd spirit ... Wo hnn• n hundred men working with heart nnd hand e,·ery dny." This wns one of tho earliest of the new forts to be built. After the destruction of the Moravian liission of Gnndenhut• ten, on the night of :N'ovember twenty-fourth, the Government undertook a systematic r,lan of defence, which should include a chnin of forts all nlong the frontier. Soon nft.er this plan wns adopted, :;\Ir. Burd was commisRioned Captain of a Com­ pany of Foot in the pny of the Province, and ordered to the command of 11 fort to be built nt Kishicoquillo.s and named Fort Granville. Although the exact date of this commission has not been ascertained, it probably was issued early in Deccm ber, 1 i55. A letter from )Ir. Shippen, dated Decem­ ber 17th, infonns him that he hears "there is to be un Indian treaty held llt Hnrris':1 on the 1st of Janunry ". "The Go\"­ emor ... I expect will be nt the treaty," l1e snys, "and it is very probable I shall 11.ccompany him. I hope you are going on briskly v.-ith the fort, for you may expect the Go,·ernor will be there beiore he returns." The tedium of garrison duty at Fort Grnn\"ille was re­ lie\"ed by occnsionnl visits to Carlisle to procure suppl:es for 171

Fivo d11y11 later, on April 24th, 1750, he w1111 commis­ sioned Major in the Third Battalion, or Augu!'tlL Regiment, 1 then being formed. The troops were nssembled at Hnrri11 H and Hunter's :Mill, and marched from thence up the Susquc­ hnnna to Shamokin, where they nrrivcd in July nnd pro­ ceeded to build the new fort, Augusta, under th€' direct.ion of Colonel Clapham, Commandant. (Pn. Arch. III, p. liO.) On the thirtieth of July, just three months after :\111jor Burd had been transferred to the Augusta Regiment, Fort Granville was taken by n party of French and Indian!! nnd hurnl!d to the grouud. Lieutenant Edward Annstrong, left. temporarily in command, was killed, with every mun in the gnrrison but one, who escaped. As a result of the destruction of Grnn,ille, the region or the Juniata was deserted of its inhabitants. Forts Shirley and Patterson, l>eing now of no further ser.ice to the Province, were evacuated, and Colonel John Armstrong, to avenge the deed at Grnnvillc, ur.dertook the destruction or Kittanning, where many Indians were known to have congregated. That accomplished, there remained, it l\"as belie\'ed, but one strong­ hold of enemy Indians in the Pro,·ince. This was the old Indian town of Shinglaclamasche, on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, where the town of Clearfield is now. Intelli­ gence concerning the dwellers in thi!" ancient settlement was greatly desired in the late winter and early sprin;; of 1 i57. Disturbing rumors were cuJTent to the effect that the French were meditating n descent in force upon Augusta, in which e\'ent troops from Duquesl:'e and Venango were to be joined by these Inclians, thus making an nttacking party of formidable dirno1111ion11.

In August, 1i59, Colonel Burd reeeh·ed orders from Colonel Bouquet, who was stationed at Carlisle--we quote from the formcr's journal-" to march with two hundred of my battalion to the mouth of the Redstone Creek where it empties itself into the river )fonongahela, to cut a roatl somewhere from Gen. Braddock's road to that place as I shall judge best, and on my arri\"al there to erect a fort in order to open a com­ munication by the river )fonongahela to Pittsburgh, for the more easy transportation of pro...-isions &c, from the provinces -0f Virginia and Maryland.... When I ha:,.·e cut the road and finished the fort I am to lea,·e one officer and twentyfiye men as a garrison, and march with the remainder of my bat­ talion to Pittsburgh." The following extracts from an article written by Edmund Hayes Bell and published in the We.,tern Pemu,yfrani,a Jfis­ lQrical Jla:,a::ine best describes the site selected by Colonel Burd for his fort which, when finished, was named Fort Burd : 178 J.Al\IES PATTERSON' "On the high bank of the Monongahela River, nbout a.­ mile above the mouth of the Red Stone Creek, and on 11. bluff o,·erlooking ~emo.colin Creek, wo.s located in prehistoric times­ one of those ancient fortifications built by an unknown and now forgotten people who have left their monuments here and there through the Ohio and :Mississippi valleys. "This spot was known among the very early white trap­ pers and bunters who came over the mountains from the set­ tlements in Pennsylvania, :!\Iaryland and Yirgimo. to trade with the Indians as • The Old Fort,' then as the • Old Fort at. Redstone,' and in after years ns • Redstone Old Fort.' "At this point on the llonongo.hela River terminated what wo.s long known as Nemocalling's Trail (or Nemacolin's. 'Trail as now generally written), no.med for the celebrated Indian chief, and ba\-ing at its eastern end Fort Cumberland on the Potomac River." The name Fort Burd, though official, was not the name­ by which the fort built by Colonel Burd was generally known. The name "Redstone Old Fort" clung to it persistently through the few short years of its existence. How few those· years were no one now knows. "About liiO Captain }lichael Cresap of l!aryland secured a Virginia title to se,·eral hun­ dred acres including the site of the fort. Later he disposed of it to Thomas and Basil Brown of Maryland. In 1786- Colonel Robert Elliott of Hagerstown, Maryland, purchased part of this tract from 'Thomas Brown and established a .;rud­ ing post on the site of Redstone Old Fort, placing in charge­ his young partuer, Jacob Bowman, of Hagerstown, the new deed being made in name of the firm Elliott and Bowman. Here, in the same year, Bowman erected a building in which the trading was done, and next to it built for himself a dwelling of stone and brick into which be moved bis wife and tbree­ months' old daughter, in February, 178S, gh·ing the place the name of • Xemacolin.' ... In 1794 Colonel Elliott, who was the father of the celebrated Commodore Elliott, of the t'nited States ~avy, while on bis way to join Gener.ii Anthony Wayne's army in the expedition against the Indians, was- AND HIS DESCEXD.A.XTS li9 killed by the Indians, and Bowman became the sole owner of the property at the Red Stone Old Fort. "Thus the Bowman family of Brownsville, Pennsylvania, became associated with this point of historic interest and '~cmacolin' . . . remains the residence of the direct de­ sceudants of the pioneer, Jacob Bowman." In li60 Colonel Burd commanded the whole of the Pennsylvania forces which marched to Pittsburgh nnder Gen­ eral )fonckton, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in Xorth America. On the 22nd of )fay, 1760, the following orders were issued by Horatio Gates : "Sir: I am directed by Geneml llonckton to acquaint you that orders are gone to Mr. Boude, storekeeper at Lancaster, to deliver as many Arms and Aecoutriments as are wanted to arm the effectives of the Two Battalions of the Pensilvania Regiments now under your command at Lancnster, for ,vhich you will give a receipt. "I am further commanded by the General to acquaint you it is his orders you march with that part of the Pensilvania Regim't now at Lancaster, on the 3rd of June next, for Carlisle, where the storekeeper of the Artillery v.iJl deliver to your order as many tents as are necessary for the effectives of the Batta.lion under your command. Upon your nrrivu.1 at Carlisle, the General would ha\"e you encamp your Batta.lion until further orders, and whatever Arms or Accoutriments are in wanting for the rest of the Pensil­ vania Regiment will be pro\-ided at Carlisle. The General desires you will order all Recruiting and out Partys, and all Officers and )fen \\"ho are absent from your Battalions (Those upon duty at the Posts on the Communication only excepted) to be at Carlisle on the 10th of June next. )Ir. Peters will st>nd the;;e order.; to all your Recruiting Partys on thii:i side the Pro\ince. " :'.\Iajor J amroison is also ordered to march from York for Carlisle. I am 1,ir Your most obedient & most Humble Ser\"ant H. Gates, :',I. B." 180 JA..:.'\IES PATTERSON During this campaign Colonel Burd was the recipient of many favors from the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. Edward Shippen of Lancaster felicitates him in a let­ ter ,vritten on the 25th of July. He says: "Last night I bad the pleasure to receive your ,·ery agreeable favour of the 15th instant, which is the only one that is come to my hands since :you left Carlisle, but Sally recei\-ed a letter last week, and you may be sure it gives us joy to hear of the regards paid )"OU by the general in appointing you an Assistant Deputy Quarter )foster General. &c." This campaign ended in August, and the troops were able to return to the East, General Monckton having entered into an amicable agreement with the Indians at Pittsburgh. At the conference with the Indians, which ended on the 12th of August, there were present General Monckton, Sir John St. Clair and Colonel James Burd, commandant of all the Pennsylvania forces, on the one side, and a vast concourse of Indians on the other. The agreement was kept until Pon­ tiac's Conspiracy of li63 turned friends into foes and brought about a reign of terror. In li62 Colonel Burd was appointed Commissioner "to receive all such prisoners as shall be brought to Fort Pitt, as was agreed upon " at the Lancaster treaty. In 1763 Governor Hamilton appointed "Colonel James Burd of the County of Lancaster, Esqr." a Commissioner on the part of Pennsyl­ vania, to act with one clothed with similar powers on behalf of Connecticut, to prevent further settlements on the property of the Six ~ations at Wyoming. The Conspiracy of Pontiac having failed of its object, peace once more returned to the frontiers, after which the pro­ vincial forces were reduced. They were not entirely dis­ banded, however. Colonel Burd still retained command of his battalion, visiting the posts on the Susquehanna from time to time, but leaving them for the most part to be commanded by his subordinate officers. His actual presence there was seldom ne_c;essary. He purchased se\·eral hundred acres of

AXD HlS D~SC.h:ND.A..:.,'l'S 181 li6i he built "Tininn ", on nn elevuted plutenu overlooking the Sul!quehnnna and commanding n ,vide prospect of the fertile lands along lts borders. The family moved to this place in the spring of lioS, for he said it would not do to be so for" away from his business" ns even Middletown, which was two miles distnnt. He was now a Justice of the Peace for Lancaster County, nnd though busily engnged in agricultural pursuits found time nlso for the game of politics, in which be had for pnrt­ ners his son-in-law, Hon. Jasper Yeates, Willinm Atlee of Lancaster and George Ross, later a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. On June S, li74, he presided at a meeting at :!\Iiddle­ town at which it was resolved " That it is an indispensable duty we owe to ourselves and posterity to oppose with decency and firmness every measure tending to deprive us of our rights and privileges." And "'fhat a close union of the colonies and their faithful ad­ herence to such measures as a general congress shall judge proper, are the most likely means to procure redress of Amer­ ican grievances and settle the rights of the colonies on a per• manent basis." In July, lii4, he was Chairman of the" Committee of Lancaster County for the relief of our fellow sufferers· at Bos­ ton." In December, lii4, the General Committee of.Lancas­ ter County was formed, consisting of. delegates from . all the townships. He was the chief delegate from Paxtang. Town­ ship. Active in bis efforts to recruit the army, he was re­ elected in liay, lii5, to the Lancaster Committee of Safety. On the 12th of July, lii5, he was commissioned by the Assembly of Pennsylvania Colonel of the 4th Battalion of Penna. troops. This commission is now in the possession of John Adams Patterson, a descendant. Colonel Burd resigned from the service on the 4th of December, lii6. In September, li84, the family of Colonel Burd sustained an irreparable loss when Mrs. Burd was unexpectedly snatched nway by death. The shock to Colonel Burd was so severe that for a time grave fears were entertained that it might 182 JA:\IES PATTERSON prove more than he could stand. " The shock is great, the loss heavy to us all", wrote their eldest son, Edward Burd. " So good, so affectionate and so dear a :Mother must insure from all her children the warmest returns. . . . She ,;eemed to live only for her Children and Friends and would at any time sacrifice her own Satisfaction to their Enjoyments. In­ deed her Benevolence was not confined to them, it was ex­ tensive and universal. Her Merits will remain imprinted in our Hearts as long as we can have any Ideas, and I pray that her Children may imitate her Example and deserve those Praises which are due to her." Judge Yeates mourned her passing as one of her own children. He writes : " I fully agree with you in the greatness of our Loss. . . . A better Heart never informed a human Bosom. Her affection for her Children and Connections was unbounded. I could not feel more upon the Decease of my natural Parents than I have experienced from this unexpected shock-Yet what must be your Father's Feelings at this Period of his Life, robbed of so great a Blessing? . . . He is indeed inconsolable. . . . By a letter l\lr. Shippen has received from Mr. Patterson lately we learn that he has bad one or two fainting Fits-a.nd that it is thought best he should spend some Time at ~Iiddletown." Colonel Burd died at Tinian on the 5th of October, 1 i93. Although he had reached the age of one and twenty be­ fore ever setting foot upon colonial soil, few native sons of Pennsylvania learned to know their Province so well, few were identified with her history in so prominent a fashion during the period covered by his military career. None, per­ haps, was on active duty in so many and such widely scattered localities, serving with equal fidelity, promptness and effi­ ciency in the East and in the West, on the northern frontier and along the southern border. An outstanding figure in Pennsylvania's Colonial history, in an era of heroism he achieved distinction such as few could boast. The region of the Juniata was comparatively thickly settled now, the Patterson mills on D. 0. Run being the busi­ ness centre of the community, as important in the piping

AXD HlS D~SGl~ND.:L~'l'S 183 times of peace as Patterson's Fort had been during the storm 1111d stress of war. George Patterson was operating n saw mill there in li83, the grist mill still remaining in the hands of his mother. In 1785 he started a fulling mill, and was taxed for both a fulling mill and a grist mill from 1785 until 1809. In the latter year the property passed into the hands of the Thompson family who have held it ever since, though, the days of fulling mills being numbered, "The New Mexico Mill", built by William Thompson in 1810 on the old site, is purely and simply a grist mill. In 1785 the buckskin garments of pioneer days no longer enjoyed their former vogue. Nearly every one was raising a few sheep. Hand looms wove the home-grown wool into cloth, and this must be submitted to the varied processes of the fulling mill, not only for a certain finish thus imparted but also, so it would seem, in order that it might be rendered quite incapable of ever wearing out. Thus it happened that on their adjoining tracts of land both George Patterson and his brother James operated fulling mills to meet the demands of an up-to-date population. So populous had the country become by 1789 that in September of that year Mifflin County was erected, taking from Cumberland County quite a sizable slice of her territory, including Fermanagh Township. On the 30th of August, 1790, Governor Mifflin appointed George Patterson a Justice, of the Peace of his home district, Fermanagh Township :\Iifflin County, and thenceforth he was" Squire" Patterson, to the folk of Juniata. He was the last of his family on the Juniata, after James moved away in 1792. It was not the same place now. Colonel Burd was gone. There were no longer any family ties to hold either him or his wife to the neighborhood. lloreover he had five sons to start in life. It was decided that a change of residence would be advanta­ geous, and on June 2nd, 180i, he purchased for $5,066.67 r.. <:ommodious stone house and forty-nine and a quarter acres of land in Germantown Township, Philadelphia County. In the following year he installed his family here, with 184 J.A.l\IES P.A.TTEHSON all his lares nnd penatex, including Phyllis, a slave who was an in\'aluable family asset during two or three generations of the house of Patterson. On the 6th of December, 1808, George Patterson bought a grist mill and a tract of eight and a quarter acres and twenty-nine perches of land on Crcsheim Creek, near where it empties into the Wissahickon. He operated this as a grist mill until 1811, when he began manufacturing woolen yarn, kerseys and so.tinets. When the war with Great Britain broke out in 1812 he obtained Go,·ernment contracts and manufac­ tured cloth for the American Army. He set up his three sons, Burd, William Augustus and George, in business as manufacturers of woolen cloth, and died at the age of fifty­ two, the day after making the will subjoined hereto. An earlier will, made in 1809, never had been re\'oked. There­ fore it was taken· in connection with the recorded will, as showing more fully his wishes in providing for his children. The old stone house, "Harmony Grove," opposite the nine-mile stone on the Germantown and Chestnut Hill Tum-· pike, continued to be the home of his family until one by one· the links that bound them to it were brolien. Charlotte Chambers Patterson was married here in 1816 ; her mother; Jean Burd Patterson, died here in 1819. .A. letter from Ed­ ward Burd ~ Mary and Eliza Patterson, characterized by' affectionate interest in his sister's children, reached them after she had heen laid to rest in the graveyard by the market· place in Germantown. Part of it follows : " Ormiston 11 October 1819 l\Iy dear 'Xieces I w~ greatly afflicted at the news of my dear Sister's Death. The more so as I had entertained hopes of her Reco,·ery from :\Ir.

In 1820 two marriages in the family depleted the house­ hold still further, Eliza and Burd going from under the family roof-tree. The last of the family to occupy the old house they had learned to love so weli'was William Augustus who bade farewell to it in the spring of 1833.

THE WILL OF GEORGE PATTEJtSO!f. I George Patterson being weak of body but of sound and per­ fect mind and memory, knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this my last Will and Testament. After all my just debts are paid out of money due and to be­ come due I do give and bequeath to my wife Jane Patterson one third part of all my personal estate forever except the machines and money which I have lent to my three sons.

He was therefore about twenty years of age when the family moved to Chestnut Hill. Here he availed himself of the educational facilities offered in abundance, applying himself to his books with such purpose that he was appointed an instructor of Latin in the boys' school lately opened by Father Brosius at Chief Justice Wil­ liam Allen's former country place, }It. Airy. French being Father Brosius' native tongue, that language was prominent in the curriculum and in daily use in the school. A practical knowledge of it was a necessary part of the young instructor's equipment. This position he held for two years, before en­ gaging in business as a manufacturer of yarn and cloth. He appears to have begun his business career in 1812. At least he was in business in that year, as proved by a re­ ceipted bill for sixty-three pounds of wool which he bought on November 21st, 1812, paying fifty cents a pound for it. After his father's death he continued to make his home at Harmony Grove where, except for the marriage of Charlotte Chambers Patterson in 1816, the family circle remained intact until the death of Mrs. Patterson in 1819. On the 4th of April, 1820, he sold bis third of the place to his two brothers, William Augustus and George. On the 14th of June he married at "Flowertown ", }latilda Dowers, daughter of Edward and Regina (Heydrick) Dowers. She was born at Chestnut Hill on the 19th of February, 1797, and was carefully educated under the guardianship of an aunt, her mother having died during her infancy. The aunt being so lacking in discrimination as not to smile upon the­ young manufacturer's suit, he took a leaf out of his grand­ father's book, with equally happy results. For after the knot 188 JAM,h;S PAT1'ERSON' was securely tied the aunt was soon won over, nnd thenceforth till the cr.d of her long life held ~Ir. Patterson in the highest esteem ns nn exemplar of all that wns "good" and "fine" in man. !\-fntildn Dowers Patterson died in Pottsville, Pa., in April, 1861. Near the King of Prussia, lfontgomery County, Burd Patterson purchased forty acres of land and a grist mill, pay­ ing four thousand dollars for the property. He put addi­ tional machinery into this mill and manufactured satinets until 1825. But the tariff was low and business bad. He decided to give it up. He rented the mill for ten years and started out to look for something else to do. On his way to the West, which seemed the most promising field in which to begin anew, he came· to Reading, and stopped there for the night, intending to proceed to Shippensburg the next day. But it so happened that he beard in the course of the evening of a man who had made money that summer by shipping coal down the newly-completed Schuylkill Canal from Potts­ ville to Philadelphia. As a· result of this information his plans underwent a change. The next moming saw him again on his way, but this time his horse's· head was tumed towards Pottsville: He reached there that eveniDg. The next moming-he saw- a vein of coal opened. It was enough to fire his· imagination and convince· him of the vast possibilities awaiting- development in Schuylkill County. A great industry was being bom. With the faith of the pioneer, he· rented a wharf in Philadelphia and prepared to em bark in business as a coal merchant. With the opening of the Canal in the following spring he was on the ground-ready to begin the founding of a new business. On· the 14th of l\Iay, 1826, he wrote to his father-in-law from Mt. Carbon: "We bad our goods a little wet coming up. I will do all I can to make a living here. We have sent down five thousand bushels of con.le." With his wife and two children he lived in a small frame house which he purchased near Pottsville. Xothing could exceed the zeal and industry with which ~; .... ~·, •w•• L.

.AXD HlS Dl!:SCE~D.A.~TS 189 he mined conl nt Primrose Pen.ch ::\Iountn.in thut summer, hauled it in wagons down to the Cn.nn.l and hopefully sent it on its wn.y to his wharf in Philndelpbin. But nlns ! there wns little demand for it. In the nutumn hundreds of tons lay piled on the whnrf waiting for buyers. When it was sold it brought so low a price that it did not pny the costs. In !82i he found himself four thousand dollars in debt. He associated himself with his cousins, Charles and John Shippen, rented lime kilns ut Xorristown, and in 1828 shipped lime down to Philadelphia from tbnt point. The venture wus not a success. But failure only spurred him on to redoubled efforts. Coal was 11ttr11cting more and more attention. The public was now convinced that it could be used as fuel. And with wood growing scarcer and dearer every year 11 substitute was obviously needed. If the sanguine were right the barren wilderness of Schuylkill County held in its stony embrace vast mineral wealth the like of which had not been dreamed before. In the winter of 1829 Burd Patterson rode back to Potts­ ville with a brand-new idea. It was a bitterly cold ride, but nothing could chill his glowing enthusiasm. No obstacles were too great to be overcome if one met them with a deter­ mined will. In the Schuylkill Valley he borrowed four thou­ sand dollars,.to be paid back in the spring. He bought land. Then he rode down to Philadelphia and succeeded in com­ municating some of his own optimism to the gentlemen whom he met there. A friend bought half his land for $30,000, paying $10,000 in cash. This was enough to secure the deed for the whole tract. Before the end of the winter he had mnde $100,000. The friend who paid $30,000 for the first half of bis tract made Si0,000. In the spring he went to West Branch and bought the Primrose Wharton Tract, paying thirteen dollars an acre for it, and the Pherson Tract at $6000 for four hundred and fifty acres. A friend made the first payment on the latter tract, in consideration of receiving one-third of the land. The re­ maining two-thirds he ga,·e to bis brothers William and 1!10 J .Al\1BS 1'A'r'l'EH.SON George, they to pny n mortgnge of $4000. His two brothers mnde $18,000 out of it. In April, 1829, Burd Patterson moved back to Pottsville to st11y, bringing his family up from Norristown. In June he purchased part or a tract which Abraham Pott inherited from his fnther, tho founder of Pottsville, lately deceased. On this tract of a hundred acres they laid out "Pott and Patterson's .Addition to Pottsville", and offered lots for sale. He also bought land from Benjamin Pott, another son of the founder, nnd invested in coal lands, not only in Schuylkill County but, in :November and December, went farther afield and purchased part or thirty-one tracts in Little Mahanoy Township, North­ umberland County. During all this time he was hard at work on a wooden railroad to be worked by horse traction and used in transporting coal from the mines down to the Canal. In 1830 be engaged actively in the business of ship­ ping coal to Philadelphia by way of the Schuylkill Canal, and was for some years a shipper of that commodity on an exten­ sive scale. In May, 1830, he was elected a member of the Town Council. In November he was elected a Director of the Miners' Bank of Pottsville. He had succeeded through tribulations. Misfortunes which would have crushed a weakling served to strengthen bis will. With unflagging energy and unbounded persever­ ance he followed bis guiding star of hope and wrung success from defeat. Ever kindly and full or sympnthy for others who were less fortunate than himself he was greatly beloved, not only at home but by a wide circle of acquaintances living at distant points. All who were in need of a consolatory word, a helping hand, knew where to turn for it. His advice was eagerly sought by the young who revered him, bis counsel was confidently followed by men of mature judgment. His brother William Augustus, in writing to one of his sisters on the 14th of January, 1830, says: "I am glad that Burd bas got independent as be has a feeling for all those that are in distress ", in saying which William was moved by a sentiment akin to that of Eliza Peale when she wrote to her MATILDA DOWERS PATTERSC>!'l J. Bt:RD !'AT'!"E:l!SON (:\!r1~ Burd Pa:~tenon)

AND HlS DESCEXDAX'l'S l!Jl brother Burd on the 15th of lfny, 183i: "Through your kindness we are in reality better off thnn we ever were in our lives.... You hnve gone through so much and ha\'e so much philosophy that I should like you to tench it to me." His philosophy of life, by the help of which he tided o\'er difficulties and rode serene on e\'en keel no matter what storms befell, mny be grasped from n sentence in a letter he wrote to his sil!ter Mary when she was \"isiting her cousins, Judge Yeates' daughters, in Lancaster in 1844. He says: "Present our best re.~pects to our kind cousins-We hope you and they may be happy and enjoy yoursel\"es by looking on the bright side of e\'erything." By "looking on the bright side of everything", and with indomitable will keeping on bis course till be attained his goal, he became a power in the com­ munity, a recognized tower of strength to be relied upon in all emergencies. In January, 1832, the "Coal Mining Association of Schuy !kill County " was organized. Burd Patterson was elected its President, a position which he held for some years. For many years he wns annually elected President of the Schuylkill Valley ~avigation and Railroad Company and de,·oted himself with heart and soul to the promotion of its interests. When the friends of the protective system met to co1Jsider measures to be pursued, the meeting \\"as organized by appointing Burd Patterson to the chair. In fact it became a fixed habit with his fellow townsmen to ask him to preside when a public meeting was convened for any purpose what• e\·er. Always ready to take the initiath-e in new enterprises, howe\'er great and important-optimistic, enthusiastic, pos­ sessed of great personal magnetism, he was s.ble to influence Philadelphia capitalists to unite with him in projects for the de,·elopm~nt of Schuylkill County. Through his exertions thrh-ing tO\\"ns sprang up in the wilderness, new railroads were huilt, old one!.' were extended, many coal fields were de­ Vt>loped. He luid out llahanoy City with Messrs. Dundas, Troutman and Biddle. In conjunction with the Messrs. 1!)2 J.A..\l~:S P ..:.\TTEH.:SON Brock he laid out the town of Ashland. The Shamokin Coal Busin, the .Ashland Coal Field, the ~Inhnnoy Coal Field be­ came centres of industry. The population of Schuylkill County grew by leaps and bounds. Coal was now a necessary of life, yet the coal trade suf­ fered from times of panic in the thirties. He suffered finan­ cial losses as did others at these times. But while the timid gave up in despair and never recovered from the effects of these reverses, he, sustained by his wonderful optimism, shoul­ dered e,·ery burden and bravely pushed ahead with character­ istic zeal and energy, soon regaining all that he had lost. He next turned his attention to the manufacture of iron. In his Pottsville furnace, the "Pioneer," he experimented with untiring energy in an effort to accomplish the manufac­ ture of iron by the use of anthracite coal alone as fuel. Be­ lieving with his usual earnestness that coal could be so manu­ factured, no failures could shake his purpose. Ad,·erse opin­ ions of others who one by one abandoned the attempt as hopeless, left him unmoved. He was determined to succeed. His perse\"erance was rewarded when, on the 19th of :Novem­ ber, 1839, the Pioneer was blown in with anthracite. :\Ir. Lyman, in charge of the experiment, manufactured iron con­ tinuously for three months thereafter, and recei\·ed as a reward for that achie,ement a prize of $5,000 from Nicholas Biddle and other gentlemen who had followed the experiment with keenest interest. The manufacture of iron by the use of anthracite alone was a subject of gratulation throughout the country. Such was the impetus given to the iron industry by the discovery that pig iron could be so manufactured that soon many new furnaces sprang up in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and :\fary­ Jand. In 1846 there were forty-two furnaces in Pennsyh-ania and ~ew Jersey which used anthracite as fuel. In 1856 there were a hundred and twenty-one anthracite furnaces in the linited States. Pottsville, quite aware of the honor with which she was invested as the place where the great experiment of making [JLu..,Li'/JY'Pr:li?r~'-&b tbt1 ~ . 2~

193 iron with anthracite wo.s perfected, wo.s no less o.pprccio.tive of "that liberality which never had a selfish thought, but has always aimed for the benefit of mankind at large ... tho.t public spirit which l1as ever been o.s steadfastly directed to­ wards the interests of Schuylkill County as is the iron to the pole." (From an article in the J1,fine:rs' Journal of :N'ov. 9th, 1839, alluding to Burd Patterson.) For some yeo.rs Burd Patterson wo.s actively engaged o.s an iron master-building, operating n.nd selling furnaces here, there and everywhere. Among his other furnaces were the " Roaring Creek Furnace", in Montour County, blown in with anthracite on the 18th of }lay, 1S40 ; the "Rough and Ready Iron Works" at Danville, built in connection with Thomas Chambers and aided financially by Peter Baldy ; the .St. Clair Furnace, where he laid out fifteen acres of land in •• Patterson's .Addition to St. Clair." He aided in the erec­ tion of the Shamokin Furnace and in the Furnace at Farns­ ville. Then, ho.'\"ing done yeoman's service in the unlocking -of two of the nation's greatest treasures, coal and iron, he be- -co.me absorbed ,'.n t-'te study of Bessemer steel, at that time a new inventior ,.,f '?l:!1t industrial importance. He earnestly ~ndeavored to ~cu~ the introduction of the Bessemer process in this country ! :,uolished pamphlets concerning it and circu­ lated them among leading capitalists in .America ; paid the ~xpenses of two men whom he sent to Great Britain to get first-hand knowledge of the iron works of England, Scotland and Wales ; obtained a license to use the Bessemer process, and planned to manufacture steel himself. Then death cut .short his work and left a town to mourn the loss of its great man. Even in old age his cheery philo<:ophy never forsook him, nor did he tum away when he kd it in his power to -comfort those in distress. To one who came, disheartened by failure, to pour forth his troub!es in a sympathetic ear, the old gentleman said: "}fy boy, nobody ever amounted to any­ thing-until he had failed at least three times ! " So, when he died, all his world mourned him. His 194: J..t'uU:S PATTEH.SON fellow townsmen met and resolved "that in Burd Patterson we mourn the loss of one who for more thnn forty yenrs has been actively identified with e\"ery step in the onward devel­ opment of our mineral resources, and whose great experience, undaunted enterprise, comprehensive and far-seeing sagacity ha\"e made him the 'Pater Familias' to ad\"ise, to lead, and to instruct in all affairs looking to the individual or to the common good. And resol\"ed, that in view of the great ser­ vice rendered by Burd Patterson in the development and ad­ vancement of coal and iron ; to consider the propriety of estab­ lishing a Free School of Mines in Pottsville, for the training of young men who may desire education in this branch of learning, as the most suitable monument, to be called The Burd Patterson School of Mines." He died on the 31st of March, 186i. Out of respect for his memory, on Tuesday, April 1st, 186i, the day of bis funeral, all the stores in Pottsville were closed and business was suspended. No schools were in session. It was a day of mourning.

WILLIAM AUGUSTUS PATTEnso:s'(George', James•, James•), was born in the Patterson homestead on the Juniata on the :first or November, 1792. He was sixteen years of age when the family bade farewell to the banks and braes or Mifflin Coanty where he had fished and bunted and explored every nook and cranny in the neighborhood-and to the old log house where he was born, and to the mills where he had watched the varied processes or grinding the grist and fulling the cloth for the farmers of the surrounding country. The ancient stone house at Chestnut Hill with its stone barn and grove of friendly trees, opposite the nine-mile stone which had stood sentinel for many years on the Germantown turnpike, had all the charm of novelty for the family of George and Jean Patterson when they first came there, fresh from their 1!)8 nnti,•o hcuth. Lntor, as it nttaincd n still more -venerable age it becumo a vonernted ubjcct of affection, identified with many happy, juyous duys of youth and aBBocinted with l!lld and sacred memories of the loved and lost. As previously mentioned, George Patterson before his death luunched bis three surviving sons in business as manu­ facturers und bequeathed to them the woolen machines which he h11d installed in the mill on Cresheim Creek. William continued in this busineBB nearly ten years. In 1823 or 1824 he moved to Indiana County where he built himselr a SD"Rll log house and engaged in the business or sheep raising on Lue uncleared land which formed a po.rt or the patrimony or the three brothers, Burd, William and George. Letters from Burd P11.tterson to William Augustus show that the former was also interested in the sheep-raising venture, as he speaks or sending more sheep to William and selling the wool and mutton. One or these letters is written from " Plymouth near Norristown on the turnpike one mile below Norriton at Crow­ ford Lime Kiln." In this letter he says: "engaged with C. and John Shippen in the lime and con.le business-and we have rented Crowford's lime kiln for $1000 per year ... we have also purchased 700 acres of good coale land at Mount Carbon." As the firm of Shippen and Patterson lasted only a year the date of thiii letter is thus fixed as 1827-28. Whilst living in Indiana County, where three or his chil­ dren were born, William Augustus was not depending entirely upon wool and mutton to furnish the meane of a comfortable support for bis little family. He had great expectations at this time from the Museum conducted by bis brother-in-law, Rubens Peale. In a letter dated at Harmony Grove, ~ov. 1, 1827, George 'Patterson wrote to his sister :\Iary, who then was visiting her sister Charlotte Thompson in Juniata County : "The Museum is moved and doing well. William will get from five hundred to six hundred dollars per year from it. His share is worth ten thousand dollars now. They take eighty dollars per day ever since it has been open." Wnliam had sold his ha.Ir of Harmony Grove in 1824 to. WILLIA.'11 AtlGtlSTCS PA'l"l"ERSO:N F.LIZABETl:I DE l'EYSTER l'EALE J'Ai"l"EKSOl'I' (:llrs. Wm. A1urustu1 Patte-n)

AND 1-HS DE8UJ<;N DAN'l'S 199 his brother George. In l\fny, 1830, he bought the old home from George, who had moved to Pottsville that spring. Having now brought his family to Harmony Grove, William Augustus turned his attention to the cultivation of its fertile acres. So far ns the sizo of his mercer potatoes was concerned this agricultural experiment mny be regarded as a most gratifying success. Both he and his wife expressed themselves as highly pleased with the abundant yield and ex­ traordinary size of those humble products of the soil. But farming was neither an easy nor o. mp1d road to wealth. The soil of Germantown township was rich, but as a source of riches was not to be compared with the sterile hills of Schuyl­ kill County whose minero.l wealth was surprising the world. Burd, George and l!ary Patterson were all reaping a harvest of prosperity from their rocky possessions there. William Augustus Patterson decided that life in a thriving community where three of his family already were settled to their entire satisfaction and where business was booming in a most en­ couraging fashion offered many advantages not possessed by the farm at Chestnut Hill. In 1832 he purchased three lots in Pottsville. In the follov.ing spring he moved there-but not to live. He died on the twelfth of July, 1833, when he and his family had barely got settled in their new home. After his death his widow returned to Chestnut Hill with her two children. They were the last of the Patterson name to make Harmony Gro,·e their home. After the marriage of Sopho­ nisba Sellers Patterson to George H. Hergesheimer he and she bought the place. In 1850 they sold it. William Augustus Patterson married in Philadelphia on the second of No.ember, 1820, Elizabeth de Peyster Peale, b. April 16, 1802, in Philadelphia, Pa.; died at Upper Gwy­ nedd, Pa., on the twenty-fifth of July, 185i; daughter of Charles Willson Peale and his second wife, Elizal>eth de Peyster of New York.

CnARLO'ITE CHA)mERS TnolrPsON (NEE PATTERSo,.-). Glndly we recall the memory of a l\Iother; of one who was remarkable in her personality, in her strength of char­ acter, in her spirit of self-sacrifice and in n desire to help and uplift all who came within the circle of her acquaintance. She was intensely affectionate and de,·oted to tho interests of her family. Yet in her great love for her children she was faithful in teaching them obedience to parents, obedience to lnw and go,·emment, and obedience to God, and instructing them in the Gospel of Jesus Christ from God's own Word. Energy, industry and integrity, with benevolence and great kindness of heart seemed native in her ,·ery being, an inheritance from her Scotch ancestry. Her energy and in­ -dustry were so remarkable e,·en in her childhood that Grand­ father Thompson, obsen-ing her, exclaimed : "There is tho wife for my son, William." (Our father.) Our Mother was a reader and an earnest thinker. She was especially fond of history and was thoroughly conversant with the history of our own United States. She had been in personal touch with yeterans of the Revolutionary War and retained the spirit of 1776 with its battle cry of civil and re­ ligious liberty. Her patriotism was of noble type. She was the family historian of her generation, and through her foresight data relating to her ancestors, the Shippen, Burd, Stuart and Patterson families, as well as that of her husband, William Thompson, Junior, were recorded and preserved. She loved poetry too, and her readings with the flowers and birds cast a romance and charm over our simple home life. Her love of nature led her to engage in the culti\·ation of trees, vines, flowers, etc. The environment of our home was a garden of fragrant beauty-a place for the birds to nest, the bees to revel among the flowers, the butterflies to flit in the sunshine, and children to enjoy the beautiful gifts of the Creator. Among the sweetest memories of early years were walks in the woods in the early Spring-time in the wild, with 210 J .AM.l!:S .I:' ATTERSON :Nnture in the liberty of spontaneous life a11d growth, so benu­ tiful in its primitivo simplicity. Tho young, green mosses­ were under the trees ; there were the wind-flower, the anemone and the blue violet, with the chipmunks springing nround, and song birds, and soft winds sweeping over cheeks and hair. Then the sweet compnnionship of Mother and child in con­ genial enjoyment. Domestic duties nnd care of her family occupied largely her mind nnd time. Yet she had time for a cordial nnd gen­ erous hospitality. l\Iany honeymoons would have been in­ complete without a day spent at "Aunt Charlotte's" pleasant. home. Even a poor drunkard found kindness and shelter in his shivering need, and a fallen woman wns given sympathy and uplift there. A poor wayfarer was never turned away from her door hungry. Our Mother had a fine artistic taste. Dra'l\·ing and paint­ ing appealed to her; and this refinement of taste was attested by her beautiful embroideries and zephyr work, the patterns. often drawn from nature with her own pencil. Although not skilled in music, she received much pleas­ ure in listening to its harmonies. Only in family or publi~ worship was her \"oice beard, when she united in praise, ns they sang the songs of the "sweet Psnlmist of Israel." Above all, and most glorious, was her undoubting faith in the Word of God ; the Word that testifies of His Son, Jesus­ Christ. In her last days she repeated Scripture, dwelling much on the words of Paul, "I !.."'Tlow in Whom I ba,;e be­ lieved. I !.."'TLOW that He will keep that which I have commit­ ted to him." The confident assurance assuaged our grief, and our )!other passed from us to Jesus, lea,·ing her body to rest in hope of the coming of Him who is the resurrection and the life.

The following sketch, written by one of her family, shows how manifold have been the activities and how nried the in­ terests of this daughter of Charlotte Chambers Patterson, now rounding out the ninety-first year of a useful Christian life : Josephine P. Zell was born in the William Thomson, Sr. homestead, Thompsontown, Juniata County, Penna., in the beautiful, romantic valley of the Juniata near the banks of the river that flows gently along where the Tuscarora lloun­ tains rise skyward like a great bulwark of defense on one side, while on the other side charmingly wooded hills outline the boundaries of the valley. Here were spent the happy, joyous years of childhood and youth. Here were inculcated in the young heart the principles of Christianity, faith in the Word of God as the revelation of his will, and reverence for the Lord's Day; also obedience to all constituted authority. Here at the family altar and in the closet were offered pray­ ers, answered in after years as the inexperienced life pas.,ed through physical dangers and moral and spiritaal snares.

She was married ut " .Harmony Grove," Chestnut Hill, Pa., on the 6th of ~Iurch, 1820, by Rev. Dr. Kemper, to Rubens Peale, b. }fay 4, 1784, in Philodelphiu, Pn..; d. July 17, 1866, in Holmc11burg, Pa. A younger son of the distinguished artist Churles Willson Peale and his first wife, Rachel Brewer, of Maryland, Rubens Peale inherited from bis father a taste for both painting and natural science. As an amateur artist be at various tirues occupied. himself with brush and palate, con­ fining himself chiefly, if not altogether, to still-life painting. It was llB a naturalist, however, that he was best known. Having grown up in his father's Museum, which was started in the Peale home on the corner of 3rd and Lombard Streets the year after Rubens was born, he absorbed in that atmos­ phere of lenrning an extensive knowledge of" birds, beasts, fishes and insects, and all that fly, leap, creep and swim, and all things else" comprised in his father's famous collection. He witnessed the preparation of ispecimens for exhibition and thus learned the art of taxidermy. The business of running a museum was as familiar to him as any other part of his everyday life. It was not strange, therefore, that when he arrived at man's estate he became closely identified with the Museum in which he held the position of Curator. ~or was it singular that the ownership of a museura seemed to him the m,mmum bonum for which to strive. A year or two ofter his marriage he moved to Baltimore, where his brother Rem­ brandt bad succeeded in establishing a picture gallery and museum while at the same time working at his profession of portrait painting. For several years Rubens Peale's Museum flourished as a perennial attraction in Baltimore. Then in 1827 he moved it to ~ew York, where it achieved a. gratify­ ing popularity and prospered in a manner calculated to arouse great hopes for the future. Later, when rival museums sprang up and drew a pro,·erbially fickle public away, Rubens Peale F.LIZA PATTERSON PEAl,F. RUBJ!:NS PEALE (!lln. Rubena Peale)

We drilled in the State Hou11e yard of an evening. At this time there wa11 a celebration of the French Revolution, and a dinner given by the French :\Iini11ter to his countrymen. lie re11ided nearly out of town, at the corner of 12th and :\Iarket Streets. I, with my rompany of 11oldier11, marched from the Philo­ sophical Hall, with a lath and shavings tied ut one end, and shouldered as guns. We bore the French flag, with ihe Eng­ lish flag under it. "When we arrh·ed at the vacant lot (now Centre Square) the English flag was planted with the French flag above it, and at the word of command the shavings were lighted and applied to the English flag, which was soon consumed. "The dining purty were much pleased with this demon­ stration and sent for me. I was placed at the left of the Chairman at table. 11 )!any glosses of wine were sent to rne that I might put them to my lips, a French cus~m. By the time that all the toasts were drunk the effluvia of the wine so affected my head that I could scarcely stand. " After dinner they placed rne ou the base of the obe­ lisque that was surmounted with the Liberty cap; they then marched in procession. It was difficult for me to keep my position, for I was giddy." J ..1YES PATTERSON After the foregoing na·ive account of the zeal with which ns a child of eleven he helped celebrate the French Revolu­ tion, one is in a manner prepared for the further disclosure that at the nge of ten Rubens Peale marched to camp and hobnobbed with the McPherson Blues, that very select and exclusi'\"e patriotic organization composed of the flower of Philadelphia youth enthusiastically embodied first in li94. He recalls that "When the West.em Insurrection against the tax on whiskey, called the' Whiskey boys,' was to be attacked or forced to pay the tax, the volunteers were called out and encamped over Schuylkill. My brother Raphael had me dressed in the uniform of the McPherson Blues, in which Company he was an officer. I marched with them to the camp ground. After their return he painted my portrait in the uniform which I wore at the time. Which portrait now belongs to my daughter Mary." This charming portrait of Rubens Peale as a child dressed in the smart uniform of the :McPherson Blues is re­ gretfully omitted here, for lack of space. It depicts him as a. most engaging little boy, his youthful freshness and innocence seemingly accentuated by the dark blue uniform and stunning bearskin hat with its huge black military cockade.

JAm:s Brrnn PEALE, )I. D.• (Eliza Patterson•, George', James', James'), was born in New York on the 10th of July, 1833 ; M. D. (U. of P. ), 1856 ; practised his profession first in Reading, Pa.; removed to Holmesburg, Pa., about 1859, and was practising there at the outbreak of the Civil War; volun­ teered for service and was commissioned Brigade Surgeon, Oct. 30, 1861 ; assigned to the Department of the Potomac in December; on General Stahl's Staff, 1st Brigade, Blenker's Dh·ision, which was ordered to advance towards Richmond, )larch 10, 1862, and reached the neighborhood of Winchester, when General Rosecrans took command of the Dh·ision. The sick of the Division having been sent to the Union Hotel in Winchester where a hospital was established, General Rose­ crans on the 4th of May ordered Dr. Peale " to take charge of and organize as a Post Hospital" the Union Hotel Hos­ pital-an exceedingly difficult duty, the sick and attendants being all foreigners, few of them able to speak or understand any language but German. They numbered about three hundred and forty altogether. Dr. Peale succeeded in bring- .AXD HIS DESCJ~NDA:N"TS 227 ing order out of choas, and by the 23rd of May was able to send awo.y all the sick but twelve, who were too ill to be re­ moved. That night he learned that the enemy had defeated the :N'orthern forces at Front Royal, on the Shenandonh, and were approaching Winchester. Deeming it bis duty to re­ main with those committed to his care, under a.ny circum­ stances, he communicated his intention of doing so to his Assistant Surgeon and the few remaining attendants. They all agreed to do as he did. General Banks fell back from Strasburg to Winchester on the 24th of May, was attacked by General Jackson's forces and driven to and across the Potomac river. The sick who were able to walk from Strasburg came into Dr. Peale's Hos­ pital on the evening of the 24th. They numbered two hun­ dred and thirty, a.nd were fed bread, raw ham and coffee. It was midnight by the time they had all been fed. About nine o'clock on the morning of the 25th of May, Dr. Peale was taken prisoner and directed to continue attend­ ing the wounded as they were brought in by the Confederate soldiers. Dr. Black, Acting :Medical Director of General Jackson's forces, called upon him in the course of the day and informed him that he was to take charge of all the federal sick and wounded and organize a hospital in the same build­ ing be then occupied, the Union Hotel. All the wounded brought in and all the sick from the three Union hospitals in Winchester were then brought to the Union Hotel and placed under bis care. They numbered about three hundred and thirty-eight. Fifty-six attendants were allowed him. Dr. Bissell, of the 5th Conn. Volunteers, was captured in the morning and allowed by the Confederate medical authorities to act as Dr. Peale's assistant His former assistant had run away when the enemy entered the town­ likewise all his former attendants but four nurses, two of whom were women. Other surgeon!! captured were allowed to offer their ser,·ices to him, and to each of them he assigned a portion of the duties of the hospital. 228 JAYES PATTERSON When Winchester was evacuated by the Confederates Dr. Peale took charge of the three hospitals which had been occupied by them. He assigned surgeons from those who were assisting him, with assistants and attendants to each. Six days later the Northern troops under General Ba11ks occupied Winchester, and Dr. Peale was granted a seven­ days leave to visit his family, who had been without news of him for weeks. He was transferred to the Corps of Surgeons of Volunteers on the 2nd of July, 1862, and ordered to report to General Schenk at Sperryville, Va. When Sigel's Corps marched from Sperryville to reinforce General Banks at Cedar Moun­ tain, Dr. Peale was ordered to remain and take charge of all the sick of the Corps, o,er three hundred in number. As no pro.ision had been made in the way of medicine or food, his position was a difficult one. After two days, teams having been sent to him from Culpepper, he removed all the sick during the night and morning to that place. He was at the second battle of Bull Run, Aug. 30, 1862 ; on duty with the 1st Division, Ele,enth Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, in October and November, 1862; Medical in­ spector, Eleventh Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, from December 7th, 1862, to April 29th, 1863, when his resigna­ tion was accepted, exposure during the \\inter having affected his health. While on duty in Winchester as Chief of Hospitals, he organized a hospital in James ll. Mason's house for the sick of Fremont's Department, who were then in that city. He died in Holmesburg, Pa., March 2nd, 1881, his loss being felt there as a public calamity. For his ability as a physician and his many ,;rtues as a man had won for him the unh-ersal respect and esteem of all classes of citizens. He was not only a successful physician and a most skillful sur­ geon. He was a cultured, refined and scholarly gentleman, a man whose gentleness and suavity of manner endeared him to the wbole community; a devout Christian and a vestryman of Emanuel P. E. Church.

When tbe family moved to Chestnut Hill he was not too young to have· formed a very strong attachment for the place of his birth, nor to have imbibed an intimate knowledge of tbe salient features of the family history and traditions. Already there had been impressed upon his young and retentive memory the stories first heard in early childhood, when the family gathered round the big log fire in the old house on the Juniata, and were entertained by the recital of deeds of prowess performed by those matchless heroes, his grandfather and his Uncle William. He retained a vivid recollection of it all. Even after he had passed the allotted three score years and ten he loved to recount for the edification of his own interesting family of youngsters those exciting tales, and describe the manner in which the names "Big Shot" and "Long Gun" came to be bestowed upon those same two wonderful persons, and to tell how long, long ago, his great grandfather had fought in Cresap's War and had a price set upon his head. He was only seventeen when his father died, but he was already in business-his father having advanced money and lent his woolen machines to the three brothers, Burd, Wil­ liam and George, who were engaged in manufacturing yam and woolen cloth at that time. After Burd dropped out of the firm William and George continued to carry on the busi­ ness, holding "Harmony Grove" as tenants in common until 1824. On the 28th of August in that year, George bought William's half of the Chestnut Hill property. It was prob­ ably about this time that George married Maria Shinkel, daughter of Frederick Shinkel, of Philadelphia, bringing his bride home to live in the old stone house now all his own. After a few years the quiet neighborhood began to pall upon the active young man. He wrote to his sister Mary, in 1827, that the place seemed lonesome, with only one· or two neigh­ bors to drop in for an occasional chat. In 1827 and 1828 he owned in partnership with his cousin, Charles Shippen, of FREDERICK G, PATl"EKSON' •:1.IZABETH LOESl':R l'ATI'ERS<>:-1 (?lln. FN'Clerick G. Pa.tt•non)

In 1829 he purchased coal lnnd in Schuylkill County and town lots in Pottsville. In March or April, 1830, be moved there, bringing his family up from "Harmony Grove", which he sold to his brother William Augustus on the 29th oOfoy, 1830. There were fortunes to be made in coal lands. He was one of the fortunate who early invested in Schuylkill County land. In :May, 1830, be sold two-thirds of a tmct of ninety­ six acres for $9,600; on the first of June ho parted with two­ thirds of a tract of three hundred and forty-nine acres, receiv­ ing in return $20,287.90. He dealt extensively in laud during the ensuing nine years, and also shipped coal to Phila­ delphia by way of the Schuylkill Canal. In December, 1833, he was elected President of the Mill Creek and Mine Hill Navigation and Railroad Company, an office to which he was re-elected annually for many years. This railroad, now long since defunct and many years ago consigned to oblivion, was a lateral constructed to accommodate the Schuylkill Canal with a coal tonnage from the district south of Mine Hill. It extended from Port Carbon to the neighborhood of St. Clair. Burd Patterson was one of its Managers, as was also Charles Loeser, being annually elected to that office, whilst George Patterson was with equal regularity elected a Manager of the Schuylkill Valley Navigation and Railroad Company, of which Burd Patterson was President. In April, 1834, George Patterson bought up~ards of five thousand acres of land in Little Mahanoy Township, paying $25,000 for it. He also owned a considerable tract in the Shamokin Coal Basin, and was one of the owners of the Spohn coal fields, near Philadelphia. Late fa the thirties he turned his attention to the manu­ facture of iron, and for more than twenty years was prominent as an iron master. In 1839 he built the Columbia Furnace, at Danville, Montour County, Pa. This furnace was success­ fully blown in with anthracite in June, 1840, being one of the earliest furnaces in which this was accomplished. He sold 23-1- J..:U1ES P .A.'I"rERSON this furnace, nnd in 1843 built the first of the Willinm Penn Furnaces at Spring )!ill, on the Schuylkill river twelve miles from Philadelphia. He was one of four owners of the l\Iont­ gomery Furnace, built at Port Kennedy in 1855 and put in blnst in 1856. He sold his interest in this furnace to John Shippen, of Pottsville, in 1862. Relinquishing all business cares, he remo,·ed to N'orristown in 1S64, and made his home there, leadiug the comfortable life of a. retired gentleman until bis death July 3, 18il.

CH,\ltu:s LOESER P,\.TTF.RS0!> 1 (Frederick Graeff•, George•, George•, Jumes', Jo.mes'), wns born on the 25th of December, 1855, in Pottsville, Pa., und hns bud o. long, varied und suc­ cessful business cnreer. In early youth he determined to be­ come an engineer, but circumstnnces not milking it possible for him to acquire the necessury training at college or in 11. technical shool, he uccomplished his purpose by taking ad­ \"untnge of such opportunities llS were uvailable in a mining section. By practicnl work, supplemented by home study, he soon mastered the difficulties of his chosen cnlling, and be­ came one of the best mining engineers in Pennsylvania. He joined an engineering corps in 18i3, and was engrossed in engineering work from thut time until 1882, during which period he succeeded in working his way up until he finally bad complete charge of two large tunnels. His whole work during this time was confined to the Reading Coal & Iron Compnny and the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. This period witnessed the introduction of the use of high explosives. Recognizing the future possibilities of this in­ dustry, ::\tr. Patterson availed himself of an opP')rtunity which presented itself iii 1883 to become connected wi,h the Repauno Chemical Company, established a few years earlier by Mr. Lummott du Pont. He was first employed as a salesman for this Company, being assigned the bundling of the trade of the contractors who were engaged in constructing the South Penn Railroad. His engineering experience proved of great value to him in this new work, and it was soon apparent that he had finally entered the field for which his abilities peculiarly fitted him. He was so successful in his efforts in connection with the South Penn Rnilroa.d that in 1886 he was selected to represent the Repauno Chemical Company in the South. Ac­ cordingly he opened a new office of that company in Atlanta, Georgia. As a result of his extraordinary business acumen the Repauno Chemical Company soon became the leading concern in the high explosi,e trade of the southern district. In 1892 construction was started on the Chicago Drain­ age Cunul, one of the most extensi,e pieces of work of that 238 JAMES P.A'l"l'ERSON character which hod ever beeu undertaken. Mr. P11tterson's knowledge of explosives, ndded to his intimate acqunintnnce with the contractors bundling this work, enabled him to secure for his Company the bulk of the explosives business incident to the construction of the Canal, despite the fact that he was faced by keen competition from manufacturing companies whose plants were located in close proximity to the work­ one of the competing factories being only a few miles distant from it. Prior to this time the western business of the Re­ pauno Company had been neglected. Rival concerns handled much of the high explosives trade. Therefore it wns nt!ces­ sary for him to spend much time in Chicago during the prog­ ress of this work. He was appointed General Western Agent of the Repauno Chemical Company, with headquarters in Chicago, and was so successful in this position that very soon the Repauno Chemical Company became the leader in the explosives industry in the West, just as it had been in the East, and uuder l\Ir. Patterson's fostering care had lately be­ come in the South. In 1895 the Repauno Chemical Company, the Hercules Powder Company and the Atlantic Dynamite Company were consolidated, being known as the Eastern Dynamite Company. ~fr. Patterson was appointed General Sales Agent for the various companies controlled by the Eastern Dynamite Com­ pany. It now became necessary for him to make his head­ quarters at the General Office of the Company in Wilmington, Delaware. At this time the industry was in an extremely demoral­ ized condition as a result of the rapid development of the high explosive business and the business depression following the panic of 1892. Numerous small companies had entered the field-many of them managed by interests not experienced in the explosive industry. The outlook for the future was very discouraging. Nothing daunted, lir. Patterson energet­ ically canvassed the whole field, studied conditions thoroughly, and undertook to bring the business back to a legitimate t"JL\RLES L. PA'ITERSO:t'

..\XD HIS DESC r•~NDA~'rs basis. By his advice some of the better located plnnts and better known brands of the competing orgnnizations were acquired by the Eastern Dynamite Company, and owing to his efforts to secure the confidence of the industry much of the bitter feeling which had been injected into the relations be­ tween the different manufacturers wns allayed. In a short time the outlook wns completely changed. From having been in an unprofitable, demoralized condition, the business now developed into a profitable one. The sales organization built up by him became the most effective one in the whole explosive industry. In 1902 the different branches of the industry were con­ solidated, through the formation of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Company, which took over the business for­ merly handled by E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, the Laflin & Rand Powder Company, the Eastern Dynamite Com­ pany and the Hazard Powder Company, as well as a number of other companies which had fom1erly been controlled by du Pont, Laflin and Rand interests. It was manifest that the selling organization of the new Company would ha\"e to be built on the foundation of the sales organization of the Eastem Dynamite Company. )Ir. Patterson wns appointed Director of Sales of the new Company, and occupied this position until 1907, when be was made Vice-President in charge of sales. During the entire time when be was in charge of sales of the du Pont Company its position as the largest manufacturer of explosives in the world was continually strengthened and the business wns steadily increased. In addition to maintain­ ing his own Company ns the leading manufacturers of the industry, l\Ir. Patterson, by the faimess of his methods and the justice of his dealings, won not only the confidence of his employers and his customers, but gained the respect, admira­ tion and confidence of his competitors as well. In 1913 he was relie.,·ed of detail responsibility, but con­ tinued as Vice-President and Director of E. I. du Pont de ~emours Powder Company and its successor, E. I. du Pont de ~emours & Company, which position he still occupies- 240 JA..\IES PATTERSON Both before and after the po.rticipo.tion of the United Sto.tes in the World War, bis advice and counsel were of great value in all the difficult undertakings incident thereto. Much of his success is due to his unusual ability as a judge of men, but even more may be attributed to the faculty which he possesses in the highest degree of being able to bring out the best in the men working under his direction, and thereby fit them for holding responsible positions. A very lo.rge number of the leading men in the explosive industry both in his own Company o.nd in other leading concerns acquired their experience and fitted themselves for their pres­ ent responsibilities under his training and direction. In addition to being Vice-President and Director of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, he is a Director and member of the Executive Committee of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, of Pennsylvania, a Director of the Union Na­ tional Bank of Wilmington, Delaware, a leader in civic affairs, and has been for years the President of the Associated Chari.­ ties of Wilmington-the only organized society of its kind in that city. The history of his life is a record of achievement by the exercise of industry and zeal, sagacity and business ability, energy and force--qualities exemplified in many instances throughout these pages. And when to personal achievement is added an enviable record for having enabled others to achieve it seems almost superfluous to say that to enlist his interest in any undertaking is to insure its prosecution with vigor. It is chiefly owing to his generosity, earnest interest, and zeal to honor those who have gone before that the publi­ cation of this record of the Patterson family is made possible. He married at Shippensburg, Pa., on the 25th of Decem­ ber, 1888, Cornelia Caroline McCune, who was born on the 29th of ~ovember, 1863, daughter of Edmund James and Elizabeth (Curtiss) McCune.

MARY Er.1zA PATTERSo:s• (George', George•, James•, James'), was born in Pottsville, Pa., on the 12th of )lnrch, 1850 ; died on the 13th of November, 1921. She was pos­ sessed of one of the rarest and sweetest of natures. Of an eager and aspiring spirit, a generous and sympathetic heart, her manners were charming and gracious, as befitted one so endowed. Her favorite line from Browning:

" For life with oil it yields of joy nnd woe • • • • IM just our chance o' the prize oflearning love." is characteristic of her. She won "the greatest thing in the world", love--in larger measure than falls to the lot of many of earth's pilgrims. For " she never said or did anything un­ kind", as a friend expresses it, and she was always doing kind things. When she gave away to a poor woman a layette in­ tended for her own baby it was only one of many incidents of a like nature which drew people irresistibly to her. She was founder of the Woman's Club of Conshohocken, and one of the organizers of the Working Girls' Club of Conshohocken and of the King's Daughters. Her strong sense of social re­ sponsibility led her to take an active part in every movement of vital importance in the· life of the town which was her home for fifty years. Ment.ally alert, a sturdy advocate of progress, an advanced thinker on many of the issues· of the day, she counted among her personal friends many women of world-wide fame as pioneers of modern thought. She wel­ comed them with open arms to her hospitable home, and whether her guest chanced to be Clara Barton or Dr. Anna Shaw or·some unlucky genius whose finances were in need of recuperation, she accorded each and every one a warmth of sympathetic understanding, a word of cheer, supplemented when needed by substantial proofs-of the genuineness of her interest. It is no wonder that she was greatly beloved, nor A~D HIS DESCENDANTS 253 that when she passed on, "climbing tho marvellous stair", her loss was deeply felt and wi

J attersnn-C!t4ambers

1 SARA.II PATTERSON' (James ) was a child not yet sixteen years of age when her father died, as appears from u perusal of his will dated in October, 1735, the month and year of his death. Certain circumstance11 seem to lend color to the be­ lief that she was several years under sixteen u.t that time, but details are lacking. From the records of Christ Church, Phil­ adelphia, we learn that she was married there on the 24th of September, 1742, to Benjamin Chambers, who had been for some years prominent on the borders of Pennsylvania. She is said to have died in December, 1743. Benjamin Chambers was born near Lough Neagh, County Antri:n, Ireland, in 1713-according to his affidavit made in 1736. According to his tombstone, erected by de­ scendants, he was born in 1708. It is evident, therefore, that the most careful of historians may assert without fear of con­ tradiction that he was born either in one year or the other. But since it seems probable that he was better informed on the subject than any number of descendants could be his sworn testimony is hereby accepted as correct, despite the contradictory statement exhibited by the mossy marble which serenely marks his last resting-place. To impugn the verac­ ity of a tombsto11e or a monument, though an ungracious act from which we shrink, may become at times a painful neces­ sity-in which case the impugner derives ineffable comfort from a fixed adherence to the fundamental axiom that neither printed page nor graven stone may, can or should be regarded as always and necessarily infallible. It was probably in 1725 that Benjamin Chambers and three older brothers, James, Robert and Joseph, came to America. They are said to have been younger sons of a. 260 J.Al\IES PA'rTERSON Mujor James Chambers who had served under William of Ornngc und been gmntctl one of tho confiscated estntes in the north of Jrclnntl nfter tho conquest of that country. They settled in l i2G on the Susquohunna rh·er at the mouth of Fishing Creek, six miles above Jobu Harris's trading post. Hero they built und operated a grist mill. Several years later, howe,·er, hnving heard much of the rich country over the river, they resolved to test for themselves its many rumored ud,•antages. Tradition says that this occurred in 1730. One might almost think the date important from the number of times it has succeeded in making its appearance in print. And it may be correct. There is no evidence tending to con­ firm it, and none of an opposite character. The Kittatinny Valley, now the Cumberland Valley, be­ longed to the Indians. Not many of them lived there, but such as did were friendly to the white settlers. And the Penns, being especially desirous that Maryland settlers should not enter in and take possession of it, were pleased to encour­ age such of the Pennsylvania colonists as were minded to settle there. With the exception of Joseph, the Chambers brothers de­ cided to make this favorite hunting and fishing ground of the Indians their permanent home. James took up land and built a mill at Big Spring, Robert settled at }Iiddle Spring, where he also built a mill, and young Benjamin, luckiest of them all, showed that his judgment was on a par with his wit when he laid his plans to become in time the proprietor of the land at the mouth of Falling Spring, where Nature her­ self bad thoughtfully provided an ideal site for a mill. For at the Falling Spring, long held to be one of the most inter­ esting sights and greatest natural wonders of the valley, no dam was required. J osepb Chambers, returning to the mill at Fishing Creek, kept it in operation until bis death. Afterwards, his widow marrying Samuel Hunter, it became known as Hunter's }!ill, under which name it achieved fame as an important frontier fort during the French and Indian War. ..A ...'\;'D HIS DESCENDA:XTS 261 In )larch, lj3•1, Benjnmin Chambers was grnnted n Blunston license to " to.kc, settle and improve four hundred ncres of land at the Falling Spring's mouth, and on both sides of the Conegochege Creek for the convenience of a Grist :Mill and plantation to be hereafter surveyed on the common terms other Lnnds in those parts aro sold." This was one of the earliest of the Blunston licenses. The lands thus being sold before they were bought could not be surveyed, of course, until later. When the trnct was surveyed, cm the fifteenth of February, 173i, it was found to contain five hundred and twenty-three acres. It was secured by pntent on the four­ teenth of Mnrch, li42, and in lj64 the town of Chambers­ burg was laid out on it. Advertisements in the Philndelphia newspapers to the effect that there were lots for sale in " o. town 111.id out on Conogogig Creek," and that purchasers would draw for these lots on the twenty-eighth of June brought no response from the metropolis. The demand for toum lots on the Conecocheague could not be described as overwhelming, though lots to the number of two were disposed of-to mem­ bers of the family-in the course of the first year, with the stipulation that within two years there should be built upon each "one good substantial Dwelling House of the Dimensions of sixteen feet square at least, with a good Chimney of Brick or Stone." The founder of Chambersburg, having built upon his own town site at the mouth of Falling Spring three successive dwelling houses, each more substantial and of more generous dimensions than the last, was fitted by experience to advise prospective purchnsers as to their needs. His first essay in domestic architecture, though a highly creditable achieve­ ment for an initial effort, fell short of the needful in point of dimensions. It was, however, substantial, being built of hewn logs, after the most approved fashion of the day, and boasted a roof of cedar shingles. In its construction use was made of iron nails--o.rticles of exceeding scarceness on the frontier, and far too precious to be left unguarded in Penn's back woods. One might think they would be safe--well hammered 2G2 J.Al\IES P .ATTERSON into place in the woodwork of a substantial building. But they wero anything but safe there, as the builder was soon to learn to his sorrow. He rode debonairly to Fishing Creek one day to obtnin needed supplies-and returned to find, alas, only nshcs and ruins on the site of his first home at the Fall­ ing Spring. The nails were gone. In building his 11ext house he profited by experience and remedied the chief and most glaring defect in the first, namely, lack of room. This dwelling of improved dimensions lasted for years, during which its owner increased in substance, in dignity and importance, and his family wa.."l:ed in numbers. As Colonel, Justice and Judge, he dispensed therein the hos­ pitality which it was his privilege to extend; as owner of the adjoining mills, master of the surrounding plantation and head of a growing family he there exercised the lawful author­ ity which it was his right to enforce. His third house, built in 1755, faithfully reflected both his out\\·ard prosperity and his mental attitude towards the world of the Conecocheague. It was two stories high, built of stone, and roofed with sheet lead-quite a fortress. Times had changed in the Kittatinny Valley as elsewhere. Echoes of the war between England and France, which before the middle of the century had disturbed the provincial quiet, causing armed associations for defense to spring into being where until then military preparedness had been a thing un­ heard of, and where militia laws were unknown, had been succeeded by a period of calm which had been broken only recently by an untoward and startling event in the west. When Colonel George Washington and his Virginia troops were met by an opposing force of French nnd Indians and forced to capitulate at Fort :Xecessity, on the third of July, 1754, war was more than a distant menace. It had came-in the wilderness beyond the Allegheny Hills. The people of the Conecocheague settlement were not slow to realize their danger, as dwellers on the western frontier. In their petition to GoYemor Hamilton, dated July 14th, 1754, they declare: " We are now in the most eminent danger by a 263 Powerful Army of Cruel Merciless and Unhuman Enemies by whom our Lives Liberties nnd Estates and nll thnt tends to promote our welfare nre in the utmost dnnger of dreadful de­ struction, nnd this Lnmentable truth is most Evident from the late Defente of the Virginia Forces. And now as we are under your Honour's protection we would begg your Immedi­ ate notice we Lining upon the Fronteers of the province nnd our Enemies so close upon us." This nppeal was not an­ swered. Strange ns it may appenr, dwellers in the enst simply refused to believe in the danger so keenly apprehended in the West. So fnr as they could see, it did not exist. As Inter events proved, however, the fears of the fron­ tiersmen were only too well grounded. With commendable forethought, Colonel Chambers decided upon building his third house. He built it substnntinl enough to withstand attack by the red mnn, nnd big enough to serve as a refuge for bis friends and neighbors in the hour of need which was surely coming. He nnd they had good cause for satisfaction later, as a result of these provisions. In October, 1755, John Potter, High Sheriff of Cumber­ land County, convened a meeting of the County Committee to consider the question of defense against an enemy now grown bold and aggressive. The Committee resolved that there should be built immediately five forts in which the women and children could be sheltered in times of alarm. The places selected ns suitable for such forts were the towns of Carlisle and Shippensburg, Colonel Chambers' :Mills, )Ir. Steel's l\Ieeting House and lir. Allison's )!ills. Before the first snow of the winter fell, Colonel Chambers had the strong­ est fort of them all. Enclosing his house nnd mills in a stockade similar to those at other frontier forts, he then dug a moat outside the stockade, admitting into it the water of the Falling Spring. Thus the famous Spring which was so valu­ able an asset in times of pence became of inestimable benefit when war stalked with desolating tread over the fair fields of Kittntinny Vnlley. Encircling the entire fort, its manifest usefulness as nn outer defensive barrier helped impart a com- 264: JA.J.'\lES PATTERSON fortnble sense of security to those within ; o.nd one comer of the fort projecting over the strenm they were eno.bled to pro­ cure o. plentiful supply of wo.ter o.t o.ny time, without exposing themsel\"es in tho leo.st to the wo.tchful eyes of the enemy. The Cumberlo.nd County Committee wo.s none too soon with its recon1mendo.tions for defense. Before the month of October ho.d run its course the enemy ho.d swooped down upon the Greo.t Cove, just beyond a spur of the mountain, and twenty-five miles from Colonel Chambers' door. No sooner had he heard this grie,·ous news than he sent a messenger to gather such details as he could. Then Sunday morning, the second of ~ovember, found him writing the following letter: "To the inhabitants of the lower pa.rt of the County of Cumber­ lnnd- Gentlemen: If you intend to go the assistance of your neighbors you need wait no longer for the certainty of the news. The Great Cove is destroyed. James Campbell left his company la.st night and went to the fort at Mr. Steel's ::\Ieeting House, and there saw some of the inhabitants of the Great Cove who gave this account; that as they ca.me over the Hill they saw their houses in flames. . . . There are but a hundred, and they o.re divided into two parts and there are two French among them. They o.re Delnwnres and Sha.wnese. The pa.rt that came against the Cove are under the command of Shinga.s the Delaware king. The people of the Cove that came off saw several men lying dead. They henrd the murder shout and the firing of guns and saw the Indians going into their houses before they left sight of the Cove. I ha-ve sent express to Marsh Creek at the same time I send this, so I expect there will be a good company there this day; and as there are but 100 of the enemy I think it is in our power, if God permit, to put them to flight if you tum out well from your parts. I understand that the west settlement is designed to go if they can get any assistance to repel them• •.\ll in haste from Yr humble Servant Benjamin Chambers." .AXD HIS DESCEXDA..YfS 265 When the news reached York George Stevenson lent a hand in trying to arouse the lawmakers then in session in Philadelphia.. With all possible celerity he sent on Monday morning at half-pust eleven o'clock the following hastily penned message to )Ir. Richard Peters :

"Herewith you have a Copy of Ben Chambers Letter rec' cl about o.n hour ago-We have formed a Council here o[ the prin­ cipal Inhabitants who join with me in beging you to deliver the Petition and Copy of Letter herewith sent to the Speaker of the Assembly and pray them in our Xame!I nn

"To the Hon''" John Penn Esq• Lieutenant Governor of Pensilvania Dear Nephew I desire you will examine the facts alledged in this peti• tion and repeat them to me with your opinion after consulting such persons as you judge proper especially the Council in relation to the request for Fair and !\Iarkets T. Penn Stoke October 4, 1768" Mr. John Penn thereupon not only consulted the Council upon the quest.ion of allowing Colonel Chambers' town the privilege of holding fairs and markets but. also instigated a search of the official records by James Tilghman, Secretary of the Land Office in 1769, for the purpose of discovering the facts concerning the tract on Cedar Spring. Subsequently Mr. Tilghman submitted for the Lieutenant-Governor's informa­ tion the following brief opinion :

"There is in James Steel's time a short entry of an applica­ tion for tbn.t land in the minutes of property. And no steps taken in the matter till the within application except what may have passed between !\Ir Chambers and !\Ir Petell! as within suggested. AND .Hll:I DESC l!:N D ..:\N'l'S :.?il The land boforo thl1 la.at nppllcnLion wn1 aold to Edward Ward for a con1ider11ble 1um of monoy. And it 111111 1inco been grently improved nnd I believe aold ngo.in So tho.t if tho honblo Prop' think propor to mnke Mr Chamber11 any Comperu1ntion I think it cnnnot be done in the way of tho Limd npplyed for Jnme11 Tllghmo.n" Thus it would seem the trnct on Cedar Spring wa.11 hope­ le1111ly lost to the origina.1 grnntco. At lell.8t it would seem 110 to anybody but Benjnmin Chnmbers. But be, being ns bere­ inbefore hinted a. mnn of decided opinions nnd pnrticulnrly deep-sea.ted convictions, ventured to differ from the Secretary of the Lnnd Office. He therefore refused to accept defeat. Six yea.rs Inter he bnd not accepted it. Hope still beckoned, and we find him writing to Mr. Tilghmnn, giving him details concerning the services which the Honornble Proprietary had rewarded with the gift of the land on Cedar Spring. Further­ more he mentions that he had gone " one of a party under the command of Samuel Smith, then High Sheriff of Lan­ caster County, to take Crisop." Aud he declares "it had been better to pay'd the Honourable Proprietors Fift.een pounds ten per hundred for Thr'3e Hundred acres, and then I would not have the Trouble of going to London and Stock Castell about it." He ga.ined his point as usual. In spite of the fact that the land had been twice sold, improved and grea.tly in­ creased in value, it was none the less destined to be his. In proof of which statement we cite the deed of sale by Colonel Benjamin Chambers and his wife Jane, of this identical tract of land on the first of May, 17i8, to their son Williams, lately returned from the war. We quote verbatim : " Whereas for and in Consideration of sundrie services done by the aforesaid Benjamin Chambers for the Proprietors of the province of Pennsylvania they did grant unto him the aff1111 Benj Chambers a Quantity of Land for a Plantation in­ cluding a )lill Seat on the Creek or Run of Water called Cedar Spring on the West side of Sasquebanna River Within the Tract of Land Call'd the :\Iannor of Lauther Which grant W(LII clnwcl ( )1•tol11'r 1!ILh in tlu• Y<'ILr or our Lorcl ( '"" I hoU111Lt1d Nl!Vllll hu111li·1•1I 11111I thirty 11av1 111 •• , • thiN In,lonluro wit• 1w1111uth tlmt tho 1111hl Colonol Bonj,unin Ch11mbor111ncl Jame l1iN witu fnr thu 1mturnl luvu und 111Tm:Lion thoy beur unto thuir """ \\'illiuu111Chu111Lur111U1 wull for 11111! in Con11idor11tion ol' thu Hum of Fivo llu111lrocl Pou11d11 , , , '10th grunt , , , \1t1Lo the 1uid \Villin.mM Clmmbar1 .. , • All tho af1'1Jd Di11- criliccl •rr1Lct of I,n.nd ... , Together with all and 11ingular the Building11 cmd Jmprovoment11 on the Lund," &c.1 &c. 1 "Whoro there 11 n will thore'11 a way."

'fho price of lote had not advanced-one pound ten 11hilling11 being the exorbitant price demanded for each and all alike. Late in the seventies the pc,pulation began to increa11e more rapidly. Two noteworthy deeds are recorded in 1780. On the first of May in that year Colonel Benjamin Chambers and his wife Jane" for promoting religion in Chambersburg, as well as for R.nd in consider-.i.tion of the sum of one pound ten shillings," granted n lot to certain trustees "for building a Calvinist Church in Chambersburg," it being stipulated that " neither they nor any other trustees that may be here­ after chosen . . . shall not put the so.id Lott of ground to any other use than the aforesaid House and o. Burying place or other Semeno.ries of Learning . . . and the said Benjamin Chambers and Jane his wife their heirs and successors reserves out of the abo\"e described Lott of ground annually forever one rose in June which is to be the annual reni." On the 10th of February, 1780, Colonel Chambers, iu consideration of his natural love for his daughter Ruhamah Col:,.:>on, and the sum of se\"eu shillings six pence, granted to her eighteen acres of land in Chambersburg, between the graveyard land and t\.,'? famous fort.

1 1 1 JA.MICII CIIA.MIIICIU1 (!'.-larah Patter11on , Jame1 ), w111 born at l•'1Llling 8pring, now Cl11Lmberaburg, P1L., on the 5th or June, 1;'1 S. On the 16th or l•'obruary, 1763, he married Catharine H1Lmilton, who wa11 born in 1r<:•1Lnd in 1787 and 1740, hie­ toriam1 auure u..,_a1110 in ono or two of the intervening yoal'II, Ucing unable to make a further contribution to the enlighten• ment of the re1Lder 011 thia point, we hu■ ten to say that at all eventll Nhe lived to a good old age, and died n.t Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 15th or January, 1820, after an illneu or only two week11. She was a daughter of John Hamilton and bi& fil'l!t wife, I1111bellu. Potter. 'rhe latter having died imme­ diu.tely aft.er her arrival in America, the motberle111 little girl wall received int.o the fu.mily of hor grandfather, John Potter, one of the ablest men on the frontier, who held auccel!lively tho offices of High Sheriff of Cumberland County, Captain of Foot, and J uatice of the Peace. In his home she grew to womunhood. General James Potter, who married Mary Pat­ tel'l!On (see p. 115) was her mother's brother. In 1806, hav­ ing been left a widow in the preceding year, she went to make­ her home with her daughter, Charlotte Chambers Ludlow, at.. Ludlow Station, Cincinnati. She lived there during the la■ t.. fourteen yea.rs of her life. James Chambers' military career may have begun on the- 19th of July, 1763, as on that date a. Jamee Chambers was commiBSioned Lieutenant in Captain Samuel Lindsay's Com­ pany of Foot. It cannot be stated as a fact, however, that be­ wus that James Chambers; for his uncle, Captain Robert Chambers, bad a son who may have been the Lieutenant. At the present time none can say to which of the two Jameses the honor belonged. Delving into the records of the Revolutionary War, we are there confronted with no such dilemma. There is no doubt 11.S to which James Chambers it was who responded to the call of the Continental Congress for troops and was com­ missioned Captain in Colonel William Thompson's Rifle Bat­ talion on the swne day on which bis Colonel was commissioned -namely, Sunday, the 25th of June, lii5. He at once re- .A~D HIS ngscEXDAX'l':-i cruitud his compnny of expert ritlen:um to ovur1lowing-tbu rank nnd file numbering ninety.

While 11crving u volunteel'II they were accorded certain privilege11, nmoug others that of p1Lying their own exr,on1C11. 'l'hcy renched Boston on tho ith or Augu11t, and within 1111 hour after their arrival ut the camp were out inap<'cting the enemy's lines from n distance. Colonel William Thomp!40n'11 entire com­ mand wa11 recruited 110 quickly and marched 10 promptly that they bad the proud distinction of being the fir11t troop11 from any of the colonies south of !-:'ow England to join the Ameri­ can Army under General Wll!hington's command in the sum­ mer of 17i5. On the first of January, liiG, the Rifle B1Lttalion, alrwdy then famous, became the First Regiment of the Army of the united Colonies. On ~larch lat, lii6, Colonel Thomp110n wa1 made a Brigadier-General. Colonel Hand was appointed to the command of the rifle regiment on the ith of }larch, on which date Captain Chambers wa1 promoted and became its Lieutenant-Colonel. In :May and June New utrecht, Long Island was headquarters of the First Regiment. It took part in the battle of Long Island Aug. 2i, li76, where, says Col­ onel Chambers in a letter to his wife, "General Lord Stirling fought like a wolf, and is taken prisoner.•..

CnARLOTTE CHAMBERS• (James Chambers', Sarah Patter­ son•, James'), b. at Falling Spring, now Chambersburg, Pa., Nov. 13, li68; d. at Franklin, llissouri, May 20, 1821; was an exceptionally charming and gifted woman. Excerpts from her journal and letters contained in " Memoirs of Char­ lotte Chambers," by a grandson, Lewis H. Garrard, show her to have possessed both rare intelligence and a pleasing facility with the pen. She portrays sketchily therein various inter­ esting incidents of her life from girlhood on, until she had reached the portals of death. As a girl, <'.haperoned by her father, this fair young connection of General Washington enjoyed one brilliant season in Philadelphia, when General and )lrs. Washington held court there. .As a widow in 1820 she drove in her carriage with her three younger children, a maid servant, and only her coachman for protector, from Cin­ cinnati to Franklin, Missouri, to visit her son, James Ludlow, who had already crossed the Mississippi and settled in the wild 283 new region beyond.

ADDEXDA

As there appears to have been formed, in certain quarters, a nebulous impression that a relationship exists between this family of Patten;ons and the Baltimore Bonapnrtes, it may not be amit>S to append a short note concerning that family and some of their ancestors. On pnge eighty-one is mentioned the marriage of Colonel William Patterson to his first wife, Isabella Galbraith, a daughter of Captain John Galbraith, of Donegal, Lancaster County, Penn­ syh-anin, and his wife, Dorcas. Isabella Galbraith hnd a sister, Elizabeth, who married William Spear and removed with him to Baltimore, Maryland. Their daughter, Dorcas Spear, married, in the First Presbyterian Church, Baltimore, on the 15th of )fay, li79, William Patterson, a wealthy merchant of that city, who is snid to have been l.,om in County Donegal, Ireland. So far as is kno,vn, be was in no way related to our Patterson family. In 1803, Elizabeth Patterson, b. Feb. 6, 1785, in Baltimore, daughter of William and Dorcas (Spear) Pattersc>n, met at the home of Hon. Samuel Chase; Signer of the Declaration of Inde­ pendence and Justice of the Supreme Court of the linited States. a fascinating young stranger who was then being much f~ted i~ that hospitable city. Jerome Bonaparte, younges:t brother of Napoleon, was born Xo\". 15, 1784, at •.\jnccio, Corsica. He was therefore a minor at this time. But so trh·ial a circumstance did not pre\"ent him from promptly falling in love with the young lady, nor did it deter her from reciprocating bis i;entiments. She was a \"ery beautiful girl, her beauty being a heritage from her great grandmother. Dorcas Galbraith. So striking was the re­ semblance to her mother's grandmother that in her childhood old gentlemen who were among the Ch·ic Fathers of Baltimore nick­ named her "little Dorcas Galbraith." She was ,·ery small and very young, but neither her years nor her stature was in the least degree commensurate with her spirit and determination. In spite of her family's opposition to the young Con:ican's suit, love (280) 290 J.A..."\IES PATTERSON triumphed over all obstacles and they were married, the ceremony being pe.rformed on the 24th of December, 1803, by the Catholic bishop, John Carroll, brother of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, Signer of the Declaration of Independence. The marriage was valid according to American law, and Pope Pius VII refused ~apoleon's request to declare it null and void. It was annulled by imperial decree, therefore. Jerome was made a Prince of France, united to Princess Catharine Sophia, of Wurt­ t..-mberg, on the 12th of August, 180i, and crowned King of West­ phalia on the 1st of January, 1808. His first wife, known as :Madame Bonaparte, returned to America with her son, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, who was bom in Camberwell, England, on the 7th of July, 1805, and died in Baltimore, Maryland, June 17, 1870. He married Susan l\Iary Williams, of :Massachusetts, and left two sons:

i. Jerome :Xapoleon Bonaparte, b. Xov. 5, 1832, in Baltimore, lfd.; d. Sept. -1., 1893, at Pride's Cro&lling, Mass.; was educated at Harvnrd university and the U.S. Military Academy, West Point; resigned hi.'1 commission in the United States Army in 1854, upon being oJfered a Colonelcy in the French Army; eerred in the Crimea and ltaly, afterwards retnmed and made hi~ home in Baltimore. ii. Charles JO!'eph Bonaparte, b. June 9, 1851, in Baltimore, lid.; d. Jone 29, 1921; educated at Harvard "Gniversit;; admitted to the bar in 1874; President or the :Xation:il l{nnicipu.1 Le:igue; Secretary or the :Xavy in President Roosevelt's Cabinet from July, 1905, to Decem­ ber, 1906; Attomey-General of the United States from 1906 until lb.rch, 1909; an able lawyer, of distinguished attainments and an upright politician. Madame Bonaparte died in 1879, at the age of ninety-six-a veritable link with a rapidly receding past. At the end of her long life she retained memories of its beginning and possessed a fund of anecdotes relating to tbnt Dorcas Galbraith of whom she was said to have been so exact a counterpart. From the foregoing account it will be seen that of the descend­ ants of James Patterson who settled in Conestoga )lanor only the Galbraith-Pattersons are connected with the Bonapartes, and it is through the Galbraiths. A~EXT THE SHIPPENS

The founder of this family in America was Edward Shippen, born in Yorkshire, England, in 1639; died at Philadelphia, Penn­ syh-ania, Oct. 2, li12; a younger son of William Shippen of Presbury, Cheshire, and later of !\Iethley. gentleman. A brother, Rev. William Shippen, was rector of Stockport, Cheshire. He died in 1693 and was buried under the chancel of the church. His son, Robert Shippen, D. D., was principal of Bmzenose and Vice Chancellor of Oxford Unh·ersity, while a second son, Wil­ liam, was di!!tinguished as a parliament man, being known as •' the great lender of the J acobites '', and characterized by extra­ ordinary courage, absolute frankness and high integrity. These are also some of the most pronounced traits which Edward Shippen brought with him when he sailed for Boston in 1668. Bred to mercantile pursuits, his sagacity an:l ability soon placed him in the foremost rank of merchants in that place. In 1669 he was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. In 16il, howe,·er, he married a Quakeress, Eli:tnbeth Lybrand, and subsequently became a Quaker. Being persecuted for his religion, he removed to Philadelphia in 1694, at which time his fortune was estimated at ten thousand pounds. His 'l\·ealth was largely increalled during his residence in Philadelphia, where he became proverbially known as "the biggest person, with the biggest house anci the biggest coach " in the city. He wa.
