. History of Steuben County, New York, with illustrations and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and pioneers. Steuben, Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin, Baron von, 1730-1794. Christopher Patterson, , was born in North- umberland Co., England, on the river Tyne, Nov. 22,1819. His father, Boger Patterson, was also a native of Eng- land ; married Ann Pegg, and with his family of six chil- dren—Joseph, Edward, John, Mrs. Clute, Christopher, and Mrs. Norris Markham—emigrated to America in 1825, and settled in Otsego County, where they remained four years, and removed to Steuben County, settling in South Dans- ville in 1829. From boyhood, Mr. Patterson, senior, followed the life of a shepherd, but on coming to this country became a farmer, which he followed until his death, which occurred in 1852, at the age of eighty-four. His wife still survives, and resides on the farm where they first settled in Dans- ville, being now the oldest resident of the town, and in her eighty-ninth year. One son, Eoger, was born in this country, and died at the age of nineteen. Dr. Patterson received during his minority a good edu- cation. At the age of twenty he became a teacher, which he followed for five years, his last term being as a teacher in Howard Academy. In 1844 he entered the office of Dr. Bowen, of South Dansville, as a student of medicine, remaining only one winter, followed by three years as a student with Dr. A. B. Case, of Howard. His lecture course was at Geneva Medical College, where he was grad- uated in 1848, and settled in Steuben Co., Indiana, where he practiced his profession for four years, and re- turned to this county, Dansville, and was in practice two years. In 1854 he married Matilda, daughter of William J. and Polly Neally, of Bath, this county. Her father and grandfather came to this county in 1812, settling near Kanona, and hence were among the pioneers of that part of the county. She was born in the town of Bath in 1820,
