Biography of John Patton

John Patton came from Ireland to America with brother Col. James Patton and sister Elizabeth. The forced exile of John Lewis, Henry Patton's brother-in-law, was probably major reason for Patton immigration to America. John Patton migrated from Ireland in the early 1730's and later moved to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was probably induced to come to America by his uncle, John Lewis, who came to Philadelphia in 1729. He met up with his uncle in Philadelphia and later moved to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania where he purchased two parcels of land, the first purchase being made on March 23, 1736 and consisted of 200 acres. He acquired 200 additional acres in April, 1744. William, James, Robert and Hugh also had land here. John later moved to Augusta County, Virginia, finally settling in that part of the county which later became Pendleton County, West Virginia. He purchased several tracts of land there known as "The Buffalo Meadows", near the present town of Franklin where he erected his house on the banks of the south fork of the south branch of the Potomac River. There he built the first mill in that part of the country. Fort Seybert was later erected on the hill 100 yards above this site. The land is described as "sictuate, lying and being on the southernmmost ford of the south branch of the Pottowmack, in August Co., VA, being part of a tract of land containing 2,643 acres granted to the said Robert Green by Patents bearing the date of the 11th day of January MDCCLVI of this tract described, the following purchases were recorded as being made by John Patton Sr. On 21 May 1755 John Patton Jr. sold his 210 acres to Jacob Seytbert of Fredrickstown, MD.
On 22 May 1755 John Patton Sr. sold his 453 acres to John Dunckle. In 1758 Matthew Patton was the only one who owned land of the original purchase. "Corners of Ancestry" quoted by W. S. Muir in "The Kentucky Register", Vol. 42, p 233, states that "John Patton, his brother Col. James Patton and his sister Elizabeth (Patton) Preston were all married and came to America from Ireland. In his will he names wife Agnes, children William, James, Margaret, Isabel and Agnes. He stated his older children are already portioned off. Witnesses were William McClung, John Stevenson and Matthew Lyle. On March 10th 1757 Agnes Patton, Matthew Lyle and Alexander Miller gave bond of three hundred pounds as executrix of John Patton.
John Patton was married 1st, to Sarah Rogers about 1725 in Ireland. Sarah Rogers died before 1754 in Augusta, VA. John Patton and Sarah Rogers had the following children: Capt. John Patton Jr., Matthew Patton, Samuel Patton, Benjamin Patton, born about 1734 in Ireland.
John Patton was married 2nd, to Agnes Snodgrass, daughter of John Snodgrass, about 1740/41. They had the following children: Isabel Patton, born in 1755 in Augusta, VA. Agnes Patton was born in 1756 in Augusta, VA.

Information on John Patton

John was a Captain in the VA Militia.

Note: The Pattons are a particularly interesting family. They are the original Scotch-Irish. From Ferrochie, Fifeshire in Scotland, the Pattons settled in Ireland in the early 17th century during the King James Plantation. Capt. John Patton immigrated to Pennsylvania in about 1730. In 1745 he was the first sheriff of Augusta Co., Virginia making him another to travel to Virginia by way of the Shenandoah Valley.

Note: Augusta Co. VA 1756 will book 2 page 183 date 2 Jan 1756 prove date 16 Mar 1757 Will John Gatton (signed Patton and orde says Patton) wife Agness: 5 children viz: William, James, Margaret, Isabell, Agness (infants) elder children already portioned off. Ex wife Agness, Alex. Miller, John Wardlaw. Proved by Witnesses Alex Miller refuses to execute. Agness qualifies. Wit:William MCClung, John Stevenson, Mathew Lyle.

Note: A Chronicle of the American Lineage of the Pattons by C. L. Patton, Springfield, Illinois: 1954 The history of Pendleton County is virtually a history of the Dyer and Patton migration. Both families were large and evidently came into the Shenandoah Valley, en masse, from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The earliest records of Augusta County, Virginia, of which Pendleton was then a part, were in the year 1747. At this time the Pattons and Dyers were well established in the valley. In 1747 there were but "forty families and two hundred souls" in Pendleton County. In the first records of the county, numerous land transactions had been made between members of the two families. John Hiatt was an English Quaker residing in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His son, John, Jr., married Margaret __ and had a daughter Margaret who married William Dyer, son of Roger Dyer, father -in-law of Matthew Patton. John Hiatt, Sr. and his son John, Jr., were each granted land by Lord Fairfax, in a part of the Alexander Ross grant. The land patent book, Volume 17, page 332, Richmond, Virginia shows that, among the first patents issued to settlers on this land was one granted to John Hiet (sic), Jr., November 12, 1735. William Gooch, Esq., Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, stated "Know ye that...an order of our Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and council of our colony and the Dominion of Virginia, bearing the date the three and twentieth day of April, 1735, granting leave to Alexander Ross and Morgan Bryan, to survey...1000 acres of land for each family of seventy families by them brought into our said colony and settled on the lands in the said order mentioned and to issue patents for the same. We have given, granted, confirmed, etc., unto John Hiet (sic), Jr. of the county of Lancaster in the Province of Pennsylvania, one certain tract or parcel of land containing 3?0 acres ... on the north side of the Opeckon, above the lower end of Paul Willian's land." The Pattons and Dyers evidently grew and prospered, each raising a numerous family and acquiring large acreages of land. From their first settlement in the region of the present town of Winchester, they proceded farther south to the heart of Augusta County near the present town of Staunton and later crossed the mountains to the beautiful valley of the South Branch of the South Fork of the Potomac River. As the children of the pioneers became of age and assumed the responsibility of a family, they felt the necessity of further expansion and a trek up the valley of the Shenandoah began. Some of the original settlers and many of their offspring sought residence in the present counties of Rockingham, Rockbridge, Augusta, Highland and Botetourt in Virginia while others pushed farther south into Tennessee and North Carolina. After the Revolutionary War another exodus began into Ohio and Kentucky, later moving into Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. There was a difference in the disposition of the Pattons and Dyers. The Pattons, apparently, were a restless lot and continually sought new fields, while the Dyers remained in the valley in the vicinity of their first settlement. In the latter part of the eighteenth century the Pattons had practically disappeared from the valley and were taking up residence in North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Missouri and Illinois. The Dyers, even at the present time, are a prosperous and a numerous clan in Pendleton County, West Virginia, and in the counties of Augusta and Rockingham in Virginia. The Pattons and the Dyers were close neighbors of the McCormicks, McDowells, Pickens, Cravens and Hoovers and were intermarried with the Hawes, Keisters, Davises, Harrisons, Lockridges and Lincolns. Roger Dyer, the pioneer, was a leader in his community and acquired large holdings of land. By his will dated February 24, 1757, he left James his homestead of 620 acres. To Hannah Kesiter he bequeathed 427 acres in Hardy County; to his grandson Roger he left 20 pounds; to his wife and executor, a dower interest in his estate; to his five sons and daughters, his personal effects. The testators to his will were William Miller, Adam Hider and William Gibson. William Dyer was also a substantial citizen and owned a negro servant and nine horses and colts. The murder of Roger and Willam and the capture of James and Sarah by the Indians is the subject of a tragic story described later. The original Roger Dyer homestead remains in the possession of his descendants and the Dyers have continued to be among the more wealthy and successful of the Pendleton farmers.

Note: "Corners of Ancestry" quoted by W. S. Muir in "The KY Register", Vol. 42, p 233, states that "John Patton, his brother Col. James Patton and his sister Elizabeth (Patton) Preston were all married and came to America from Ireland. In his will he names wife Agnes, children William, James, Margaret, Isabel and Agnes. He stated his older children are already portioned off. Witnesses were William McClung, John Stevenson and Matthew Lyle. On March 10th 1757 Agnes Patton, Matthew Lyle and Alexander Miller gave bond of three hundred pounds as executrix of John Patton.

His executors were Sarah Patton and John Blair Smith.

He signed the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Wheeler's Reminiscences of North Carolina states: "Benjamin Patton, another signer, was a man of firmness and indomitable courage. Descended from the stern Covenanters, he had their flexibility of purpose and their purity of principles. He was elected to the Provincial Congress in 1774, a stirring epoch in the history of the state, for it was already in contempt of the Royal Power in North Carolina....Tradition states that such was his zeal that when he could not get a horse or any conveyance he walked from Charlotte to Newbern rather than not join those patriots determined upon liberty or death. He lived in that part of Meclenburg which is now Cabarrus County. He was a member of the Committee of Safety for this section with full powers. The committee held its meetings in the "Red Mill" on the Salisbury road and it was truly a terror to evildoers but a defense to those who did will. He died near concord in 1802 on the banks of "Irish Buffalo Creek". He is buried in an unmarked grave in his family graveyard, just outside of Concord.
