first steam-engine to South America. The ship "Hungarian," built at Saco, was for many years under his command. His last voyage was in the " Almeda," in 1862. In 1864 he was commissioned to visit Europe to look after three ships, and after his return, in 1865, retired from the sea and mostly from the active duties of life. Captain Patterson was a competent and careful mariner, who, during his long service of nearly half a century on the sea, did not lose a vessel or suffer from a serious accident. He not only understood the science of navigation and the management of a ship, but was also well posted in international and commercial law. He was a man of strict integrity, great sociability, and kindness of heart; gentlemanly in his intercourse with men and highly esteemed by all who came within the circle of his influence and ac- quaintance.

VII. CAPT. ALFRED,5 b. in 1838 ; went to sea with his father in the ship " Hungarian " at the age of thirteen. At the age of twenty-five (1863), he took command of the steamer "George S. Wright," and was in government service during the Rebellion ; subsequently commanded the steamer "North Point," and for five years the English ship "Waterloo," sailing from London. During his twenty-five years' ser- vice on the sea, he visited nearly every port on the globe. When he retired from the sea, in 1878, he settled in Saco, and engaged in the the real estate and insurance business.

PATTERSONS OF BELFAST, ME.
Four of the eleven sons of Robert Patterson and his wife, Jean Gilmore, removed, about 1770-72, and settled on land purchased for them by their father on the east side of the river near where the city of Belfast now stands. Here they hewed down the forest and cleared excellent farms which were in- herited by their posterity.
Robert Patterson,3 son of Robert and Jean, was born in Saco, in 1742, and removed to Belfast in 1770. He married Elizabeth Goodwin, in Saco,

Dec. 21, 1774, and had children born there; hence I suppose he did not move his family "down east" for several years after opening his clearing. He lived on the eastern side of the river, near Garrison hill, and died there Oct. 9, 1829, aged 87. Children :

James Patterson,3 second son of Robert and Jean, was born in Saco, Me., 1744; married Jane, dau. of Martin Jameson, of Saco, Mar. 25, 1773, he being then "of Belfast." His nephew, Robert, has since lived on the farm cleared by him. He died Feb. 18, 1824, aged 80; his widow died Dec. 14, 1838, aged 89. Children :

Nathaniel Patterson,3 third son of Robert and Jean, b. in 1745; m. Hannah, dau. of Martin Jameson, of Saco, Sept. 20, 1770. He and wife "owned the covenant " in the First Congregational church in Saco, May 6, 1771. Several children were born in Saco; hence it appears that he did not remove, with his family, to the east until several years subsequent to his be- ginning operations there. He had his residence on the eastern side of the river. His death occurred Nov. 12, 1825, at the age of 79. His widow sur- vived till May 26, 1843; her age 99 years. Children :
I. ROBERT,4 b. June 9, 1771, in Saco, and d. in Salem, Me., March 19, 1847, aged 76. His children were :

Dease Family.
The Pease family in England has been of long standing there, and is said to have been descended from a German stock. The pea vine branched out extensively, as the centuries wheeled past, and became exceedingly prolific. Some of the English variety were early transplanted to our American soil and throve remarkably in their new condition. A "slip" from the original stock was named
Nathaniel Pease,1 b. in 1691, who settled in New Market, N. H. He married Phebe Sanborn, and the vine bore thirteen shoots named Pease. Several were early planted on new land in Pearsontown, now Parsonsfield, and did become fruitful, so much so that a "mess o' pease " could be found there at any season of the year.

Dennell Family.
The family of Pinel or Pennell is one of considerable antiquity and ranked high among the nobility of Normandy in early times, as appears from the ancient records of that province. One of the companions of William I was Raoul Pinel, who held an honorable position.
