John Patterson

1767: The Betsy, charted by the Philadelphia Company, arrived on June 10th of that year, to establish the first settlement in what is now Pictou County. The settlers began settling along the West River in the area now known as Lyons Brook. Among its passengers were notables Dr. John Harris (a physician, graduate of Princeton University), who became the first Magistrate in the area, and John Patterson (a Scottish surveyor), who became better known as Squire Patterson and succeeded Harris as Magistrate. Both families settled west of the Gut or Haliburton.

More then likely John boarded at Glasgow in 1767
