"No one is known to have preceded Aaron Patterson in the occupancy of the soil. He was a New Jersey farmer, entered the southeast quarter of Section 25, about a mile east of Dundee, settled there in 1808 and remained through life. He is said to have wedded five wives in succession. His children were John, who died in early manhood; William, who was a Methodist ..." It also names William as a son of Aaron Patterson.

Aaron is said to have had 5 wives during his lifetime. On the southeast quarter of Section 25, nearly a mile east of Dundee, was probably the first schoolhouse in the township. It was built in the woods about 1825, on land donated for the purpose by Aaron Patterson, and used many years."
