135 "David Patterson was born in Perthshire, Scotland, March 11, 1794, and came to this country in 1812 in time to see the burning of Buffalo, although he was not a belligerent. He located at Buffalo, which he made his home for two years and then moved to Oneida, New York, and began to farm, and by this labor he lived until 1834, when he went to Sheridan [New York] and continued farming until old age compelled his retirement. Then he moved to Dunkirk [New York] and died January 17, 1877.

He was early taught the Presbyterian faith but joined the Baptist church after coming to America and died in its faith. Politically, Mr. Patterson was originally a democrat, but when the slavery question agitated the country, he transferred his allegiance to the whigs and afterward to the republicans. He was active in politics and energetic in business, decided in his convictions and one so well informed, that it was difficult to touch a subject upon which he could not talk intelligently.

He served five years in the British navy before coming to America and married, on October 31, 1818, Eva Kern, who was a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, born July 8, 1892. Her father, John Kern, was a sea captain who came to America some years after the Irish rebellion of 1798, and died in Oneida County, New York, in 1839, aged ninety years. Mrs. Patterson is still living with her son in Dunkirk, with a mind unimpaired by age. She is a member of the Baptist church."

"Samuel was sickly along the trip, but when they got to London eleven months after they left Barclay, KS, Deborah fell ill and died two days later. The Friends in London were very solicitous and after a while, Samuel made his way back to Barclay, where he fared poorly, dying four years later."
