John J Patterson

• Census: 1850 John Patterson (55), Washington, Jefferson, Pennsylvania, USA
• Census: 1860 John Patterson (70), Washington, Jefferson, Pennsylvania, USA

"John Patterson and his wife passed the closing years of their lives on "Wrenwood Farm," now owned by their grandson, Robert C. Patterson. They were devout members of the Presbyterian Church, and this religious faith has been generally retained by the representatives of later generations of the family. In this connection it is pleasing to note that "Wrenwood Farm" has represented the home of the Patterson family for three generations, and that scions of the fourth generation also are now to be found on the ancestral farmstead.

"John Patterson, father of Mrs. John Ross, was born in Ireland, and there married Isabella Smith, whose family, like his, settled in the Beechwoods in Jefferson county."
