He was of Scotch descent and in his Irish home followed the trade of linen weaver, marrying, and about 1815 coming to Washington County, where he remained until 1835, in that year moving to Armstrong County, where his death occurred in 1849. In his new home he continued at his trade, and when unable to find employment thereat, he engaged in farming. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, regular in their attendance at its services. Children of WILLIAM and MARGARET PATTERSON: 1.

(III) SAMUEL PATTERSON, son of WILLIAM and MARGARET PATTERSON, was born near McConnells Mill, Washington County, Pa., in 1825, died on July 24, 1902. As a young man he learned the wagonmaker’s trade in his native county under the tutelage of Mr. McGinnis, remaining with him for four years, accompanying his parents to Armstrong County in 1835. His father-in-law’s family were the proprietors of a blacksmith shop and he located on the Beatty farm, adding a wagon-making department to the blacksmith shop, the business being thus conducted for five years. For the three following years he was employed in the carriage factory maintained by Benjamin South. He then returned to Armstrong County and located at Crooked Creek, six miles south of Kittanning, where he and his brother-in-law, WILLIAM BEATTY, were the proprietors of a carriage shop for two and one-half years. He was then engaged in business in Cecil, Washington County, Pa., Bridgeville, Pa., in 1854 moving to Mansfield Valley, now Carnegie, Pa. For more than two years he operated a carriage factory and wagon-making shop in connection with the blacksmith shop for one year, afterward farming for a like time, and subsequently returning to Pittsburgh, being for several years an employee in South’s Carriage Factory. For five years he was in the oil districts, erecting rigs and working at his traded, and for five years farmed in Erie County, at the same time continuing at his trade. His death occurred in Carnegie, Pa., although for a few years prior to his coming to that place he had lived in Pittsburgh. His church was the Presbyterian, to which he belonged all of his life.
He married, November 30, 1837, MARGARET BEATTY, born near Kittanning, Armstrong County, Pa., September 30, 1820, died March 15, 1891, daughter of WILLIAM and MARGARET BEATTY, her parents, natives of New Jersey, moving to Armstrong County soon after their marriage.
