Mary Patterson, daughter of Robert &Mary (Stewart) Patterson of Rostraver, Westmoreland Co., PA. Note the first son named after the father?s father.II.SUSANNAH PATTERSONb. 1778-1779; bapt. 26 Sept 1779; d. 1849; buried in Round Hill Cemetery in Elizabeth, Allegheny Co., PA (per earlier transcription of burials; Susannah?s gravestone not found in 2009); m.

Note the second son named after the mother?s father (Thomas Finney).Thomas is buried (or has a memorial stone?) in the Old Presbyterian Cemetery (a/k/a North LibertyStreet Cemetery) in West Alexander, Washington Co., PA.
V.JAMES PATTERSON JR.b. perhaps abt. 1783; d. 18 Dec 1855 in Elizabeth, Allegheny Co., PA; place of burial unknown; m. 1stMary Watt; m. 2ndMary Swangel. Note: Calvin Patterson wrote 8/17/14: ?...second wife was Mary Swangel. The Swangie name came from HGP and is incorrect. Legal papers between her and James S. Patterson, his son, verify this.? I believe James was the 3rdson, named after his father.V.WILLIAM PATTERSONb. perhaps 1783-1784;d. 1860 inCrawford Co., PA; m. Sarah Stewart; buried in Hartstown Cemetery, Crawford Co., PA.I believe William wasthe 4thson so, per the Scotch-Irish naming pattern, he?d be named after hisfather?s oldest brother. Could James have had an older brother named William?VI.MARGARET PATTERSONb. 1787; d. 1856; unmarried; buried in West Newton Cemetery with sister Nancy and brother Joseph.The second daughter was usually named after the father?s mother. Did James? father, John, marry a woman named Margaret? VII.ELIJAH PATTERSONb. 1788;d. 1875; unmarried; place of burial unknown.Note: Calvin Patterson wrote 8/17/14: ?I walked the West Newton Cemetery and did not find any legible tombstone with Elijah Patterson (1788-1875? name.? Per naming pattern, Elijah, the 5thson, would be the name of the mother?s oldest brother. James? wife, Agnes (Finney) did indeed have a brother named Elijah (bapt. by Rev. Cuthbertson 20 Oct 1765).VIII.JOSEPH PATTERSON b. 1790-1791; d. 1855; unmarried; buried in West Newton Cemetery with sisters Margaret and Nancy.IX.SAMUEL PATTERSONb. 1794-1797; d. 1858; m. Susan Finley; probablyburied in West Newton Cemetery.X.FINNEY HENRY PATTERSONb. 1796-1799; d. 1823; unmarried; place of burial unknown.(The middle name of ?Henry? is found only in HGP.)Note: Calvin Patterson wrote 8/17/14: ?Per HGP [Finney] drowned in the Youghiogheny River near home.?XI.ROBERT PATTERSON b. 1798-1799; d. 1845;m. Rebecca Wilson; place of burial unknown.XII.NANCY PATTERSON b. 1802; d. 1865; unmarried; buried in West Newton Cemetery with sister Margaret and brother Joseph.Nancy is a Scotch-Irish nickname for Agnes. Thus the third daughter was named, in accordance with the naming pattern, after the mother (Agnes Finney)
