20th Century History of New Castle and Lawrence County Pennsylvania and Representative Citizens Hon. Aaron L. Hazen Richmond-Arnold Publishing Company, Chicago, Ill., 1908

WATSON W. PATTISON,

 [p. 783] a well known agriculturist of Union Township and a prominent
 citizen of this section of Lawrence County, lives on his excellent farm
 of ninety acres, where he has been a resident all his life. He was born
 in Union Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, February 25, 1840, and
 is a son of John and Margaret (Smith) Pattison.
 
 The father of Mr. Pattison was born in Glasgow, Scotland, where he was
 subsequently married to Margaret Smith, and in 1828 they emigrated to
 America and settled in Union Township, on a part of the farm now owned
 by Watson W. Pattison. He is the only survivor of their seven children.
 When the parents came to this section they found very few other
 settlers, and in developing their farm from its wild condition they had
 to endure many pioneer hardships. They were good, honest, hard-working
 people, who lived exemplary lives, and when they passed away were
 remembered by many to whom they had extended kindness and charity.
 
 Watson W. Pattison obtained his educational training in the early
 schools of Union Township, and from boyhood has been accustomed to life
 on a farm. He owns the old family homestead, to which he has added,
 until now he possesses as much land as he can conveniently care for, and
 here he carries on a general line of agricultural work. He married
 Catherine Brown, who was born at Pittsburg, Pa., and is a daughter of
 John Brown, who once was a resident of Lawrence County. Mr. and Mrs.
 Pattison had seven children, the six survivors being: John W., Jeanette,
 Catherine, James S., Margaret and Walter. In politics Mr. Pattison is a
 Republican. He is recognized as one of the useful, reliable and
 public-spirited men of his community.
