DAVID JEWETT WALLER, eldest son and child of Phineas and Elizabeth (Jew- ett) Waller, was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, January 16, 1815. He was educated at Wilkes-Barre Academy, Williams College, Massachusetts, and Princeton Theological Seminary. He was graduated from Williams, class of 1834, and from Princeton in 1837. In 1838 became pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, with an extensive dependent territory, since divided into many pastorates. He was particularly interested in the cause of education and was instrumental in establishing a classical school at Blooms- burg, of which his brother, Charles P., then a law student, was principal. This school became, in 1867, The Bloomsburg Literary Institute, and in 1872 was merged into the State Normal School of the Sixth District. Mr. Waller was elected a member of the Board of Foreign Missions by the General Assembly of Presbyterian church in 1865; and as a trustee of Lafayette College chosen by the Synod of Philadelphia in 1849, he served for thirty years. He continued

his pastorate until 1871, when he met with an accident while driving, which com- pelled him to use crutches the rest of his life. He resigned his pastorate, but was afterward active in the construction of the present stone church, and was the chief contributor. About this time he drew a charter for a railroad from Wilkes-Barre along the south bank of the Susquehanna to Bloomsburg and thence to Williamsport, named the North and West Branch Railroad. The charter was granted by the state legislature and the road built. Mr. Waller was elected pres- ident of the company and held the position until his death. This road is now a part of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Upon the material interests of his adopted home, by the laying out and grading of broad streets and extensive tree plant- ing, by the erection of private buildings and furthering the erection of public ones, and by aiding the introduction of manufactories, Mr. Waller exerted an educational influence which has proved most beneficial to that prosperous county seat-Bloomsburg-whose courts adjourned and whose business was suspended on the occasion of his funeral. Mr. Waller survived his golden wedding four and one-half years. Rev. David Jewett Waller married, May 23, 1839, in Phil- adelphia, Julia Ellmaker, born October 11, 1817, in Philadelphia, and died in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, September 25, 1905.

LEVI ELLMAKER WALLER, second son and third child of David J. and Julia (Ellmaker) Waller, was born July 16, 1851. He was graduated from Lafayette College, class of 1873. He attended Columbia Law School, New York, and read in the law office of United States Senator Charles R. Buckalew, of Blooms- burg, Pennsylvania. In addition to his general practice, he has been counsel up- wards of twenty-five years for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Pennsylvania Canal Company; also for the Bloomsburg and Sullivan Railroad Company. He is a director of the latter company, and of the North and West Branch Railroad Company; also a trustee of the State Normal School of the

sixth district. He has borne an active part in the founding and development of many of the institutions and manufacturing industries of his native town, its steam and electric roads, it gas and electric light, heat and water systems. Mr. Waller is a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants; The University Club; The Sons of the Revolution; Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, and other organizations. Levi Ellmaker Waller married, at Bloomsburg, Penn- sylvania, October 12, 1881, Alice M. Buckalew, born November 24, 1856, daugh- ter of United States Senator Charles R. Buckalew and his wife Permelia Wads- worth. Senator Buckalew, born December 28, 1821, died May 19, 1899, was an influential statesman of Pennsylvania, whose life was largely spent in the service of his state and the United States. He was a lawyer of wide reputation, and author of a work on the constitution of Pennsylvania. He was elected United States Senator from Pennsylvania, in 1863, and served the term of six years. He was also member of Congress, State Senator, foreign minister, etc. His immi- grant ancestor, Francis Buckalew, came to Long Island in 1663. His wife Per- melia (Wadsworth) Buckalew, descended in the sixth generation from Captain Joseph Wadsworth who saved the Connecticut Charter by hiding it in the "Hart- ford Oak", October 31, 1687. She was a daughter of Rev. Epaphras and Char- lotte (Stevens) Wadsworth, and a granddaughter of Epaphras Wadsworth, a solider of the Revolution and his wife Desdemona Marshall. Mrs. Buckalew died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. E. Waller, Wilkes-Barre, February 20, 1903. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Levi E. Waller; Jean Buckalew, born October 22, 1884; Charles Buckalew, born February 14, 1890. The family reside at the corner of Northampton and South River Streets, Wilkes-Barre.
JOSEPH EMMETT PATTERSON
The Colonial and immigrant ancestor of Mr. Patterson was James Patterson, a native of Scotland, and his revolutionary ancestor was Amos Patterson, who was of the fourth generation of the family in America (see forward). The line of descent to Joseph E. Patterson is as follows: (I) James of Scotland. (II) Joseph of Billerica, Massachusetts. (III) Joseph of Watertown, Massa- chusetts. (IV) Amos, the Revolutionary ancestor. (V) Chester of Richmond, Massachusetts. (VI) Joseph Emmett.
JAMES PATTERSON was a native of Scotland and was born about 1633. He was one of the prisoners of war taken by Cromwell, probably at the battle of Worcester, September 3, 1651. These prisoners were sold as bond servants and a large number of them were sent to New England in the ship "John and Sarah," of London, Captain John Green, Master; they embarked November 6, 1651, and arrived in Boston, Massachusetts, early in the following May, as on May 13, 1652, a list of servants sent on board the ship was recorded in Boston (see N. E. Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. I, pp. 377-380). In 1658, he was a resident of Billerica, Massachusetts, as he then received a grant of land from that town. Between 1658 and 1685 he received sixteen different grants of land from the town of Billerica. In 1661 his name appears upon the town rec- ords, in a vote of the proprietors. He married, May 29, 1662, Rebecca Steven- son, before "Thomas Dantforth, Esquire." She was a daughter of Andrew Stevenson, of Cambridge, and was born about 1642. "At a meeting of the se- lectmen and committee of malitia held October 8, 1675, in pursuance of an order from the Hon. Councill sent unto them," "twelve garrisons were formed in Billerica. They appoint James Patterson's house for garrison, and to enter- tain John Baldwin, Edward and Thomas Farmer, Henery and John Jeffts & two soldiers, 8 soldiers & 4 families". James Patterson was admitted freeman April 18, 1690. His will was dated May 12, 1701. He died in Billerica, July 14, 1701, aged about sixty-eight years, according to the town records, but his inventory states that he died June 14, 1701. James and Rebecca (Stevenson) Patterson were the parents of eight children, two daughters and six sons, all born in Billerica, Massachusetts: I. Mary, married Peter Proctor, of Chelms- ford. 2. James, died in childhood. 3. Andrew, a mariner, said to have been lost at sea ; married Elizabeth Kebbe. 4. John, he had a grant of land from the town of Billerica of twenty acres of upland and swamp, for twenty pounds money; married Joanna Hall. 5. Joseph, see forward. 6. Rebecca, died in childhood. 7. James, moved to Dunstable, then to Groton, where he died, he drew lot No. 44 in "Narragansett No. 6" (now Templeton), as the representa- tive of his father for his services in "King Phillip's War" in 1675 or 1676; his wife's name was Mary. 8. Jonathan, who described himself in a deed as "Tailor of Watertown;" he was a resident of Deerfield, where he married Mary Hawks, but died a resident of Northfield, Massachusetts.

PATTERSON
terson was born in Billerica, Massachusetts, January 1, 1677-8. He was a tailor, and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts, as early as the beginning of the year 1701. He bought of Edward Harrinton, March 19, 1701, "one mansion house with twelve acres of orchyard meadow and arable land, situate, lying and being in Watertown aforesaid." In 1714 he was constable or collector of Water- town. He had by small purchases at different times acquired a good farm which is said to have included the top of Prospect Hill, about half a mile west of Wal- tham Plain. The date of his death is not known, but his will was executed No- vember 15, 1736, and offered for probate February 14, 1736-7. Joseph Patter- son married (first) in Sudbury, September 22, 1701, Mercy Goodenow, dauglı- ter of Captain John Goodenow of Sudbury, and granddaughter of Edmund and Ann Goodenow of England. She died September 1, 1710. He married (sec- ond) Mary - -. He married (third) November 19, 1724, Rebecca, widow of James Livermore and daughter of John and Elizabeth (Trowbridge) Myrick of Newton, Massachusetts. The children of Joseph Patterson, five by his first and three by his second wife, were: I. Mercy, who married Samucl Brown, who was a deacon of the church and had a large share of the municipal offices of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, an incorporated town, also a member of the Provincial Congress in 1775, and a soldier in the Revolutionary war. 2. Mary, married Jeremiah Hewes, of Needham. 3. Lydia, died in childhood. 4. Eunice, married Jonathan Flagg, of Watertown. 5. Joseph, see forward. I. Hepzibah. 2. Sibilla, married David Hall, of Watertown. 3. Lydia. Joseph Patterson, by his third wife, Rebecca Myrick, had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Abijah Bond, they settled in Concord, Massachusetts.
JOSEPH, son of Joseph and Mercy (Goodenow) Patterson, was born in Wa- tertown, Massachusetts, August 27, 1710, and died in Richmond, Massachu- setts, September 8, 1780. He was a farmer, and lived in Watertown until 1767, when he removed to Richmond. He was a member of Captain Eleazer Melvin's company in Governor Shirley's expedition to the Norridgewock country in 1754. He was "constable and collector" of Watertown in 1747. Joseph Pat- terson in the year 1737 married Lydia Marean, of Newton, born in Roxbury, in the year 1711, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Clark) Marean. They were dismissed from Waltham church May 24, 1767, "to the Christian brethren in Richmond, Massachusetts". Lydia Marean died in Richmond, February 8, 1785; Joseph and Lydia (Marean) Patterson were the parents of two sons and seven daughters, all born in Watertown: I. Joseph (3), married Jerusha Phelps, of Lebanon, Connecticut, and was one of the earliest settlers of Mt. Ephraim (now Richmond) Massachusetts. 2. Elizabeth, married William Salt- marsh, a farmer and a lieutenant under Captain Jonathan Brown at Lake George in 1758, who finally settled at Athens, Pennsylvania, where he and his wife are both buried. 3. Beulah, married her cousin, Abraham Brown, of Stockbridge; he was captain of militia and repeatedly out on military duty in the Revolu- tionary war; she moved to Tioga county, New York, after being left a widow, where she died. 4. Abigail, never married, and after the death of her mother lived with her sister, Mrs. David Pixley; she died aged sixty-four at Owego, New York, and was buried in ground now occupied by the public square and buildings at Owego, but was soon afterward removed to Presbyterian burying
764
PATTERSON
ground of that city. 5. Lydia, was the second wife of the celebrated Colonel David Pixley. He was one of the first men (Capt. Joseph Raymond and Amos Patterson being his only companions) sent out to explore the tract of land af- terward purchased of the government of Massachusetts by the "Boston Pur- chase Company." He was one of the commissioners sent out by the company to treat with the Indians for the purchase of the right to the soil. The tract included that part of the counties of Tioga and Broome, New York, lying be- tween the Chenango river on the east, Owego creek on the west, and extend- ing northward from the Susquehanna river about twenty-five miles. It con- tains about two hundred and thirty thousand acres. Colonel Pixley settled about one mile west of Owego, on a beautiful level tract of three thousand acres. He acquainted himself with the Indian language and was thereby the more popular with them. He entered the service of his country at the first alarm. He was a member of Colonel John Patterson's regiment. They received the news of the battle of Lexington at noon, two days after it occurred, and the next morning were on their way to Boston completely armed and equipped, and mostly in uniform. His first commission was dated May 19, 1775, and named him lieutenant of Col- onel Patterson's regiment. Governor Clinton of New York, March 7, 1792, com- missioned him major, and on March 28, 1797, Governor John Jay commissioned him lieutenant-colonel. Mrs. Lydia (Patterson) Pixley "was eminently pious, and made her house a home for all strangers and especially for the missionaries and ministers of that early day." She died at Owego, New York, February 2, 1808, where she is buried. Colonel Pixley is also buried there, where the follow- ing inscription may be found on his tombstone. "In memory of Colonel Pixley, who departed this life August 25, 1807, in the sixty-seventh year of his age. He was an officer of the Revolution, at the siege of Quebec in 1775 under General Montgomery ; was the first settler of Owego in 1790 and continued its father and friend until his death"; 6. Amos, see forward. 7. Martha, married William Woodbridge, a farmer, of Stockbridge, but later of Ferrisburg, Vermont, where Martha died August 31, 1801. 8. Sarah; married Phineas Brown, Esquire, of Stockbridge. 9. Esther, married her cousin Thomas Marean, of Newton. They settled at Canaan, Columbia county, New York, but later removed to the "Bos- ton Purchase".
AMOS, sixth child and second son of Joseph and Lydia (Marean) Patterson, was born in Watertown, Massachusetts, February 18, 1747-8, according to the town records, but the family account says January 24, 1749. The presumption is that the town record is correct. When about sixteen years of age he was caught under his falling horse, his leg broken in several places, and as a result he carried a shortened leg through life. He moved with the family in 1766 or 1767 to Mt. Ephraim (now Richmond). He was out on military service with the militia three times during the Revolution. He was a private of Captain Aaron Rowley's company, Colonel Simmonds' Berkshire, Massachusetts, militia regiment, from April 26, 1777, to May 19, 1777, again as a private of Captain Amos Rath- burn's company, Colonel Brown's regiment, Massachusetts militia, from Sep- tember 21, 1777, to October 1, 1777. His last service was as a private of Cap- tain J. Raymond's company, Colonel Hyde's regiment, Massachusetts militia, from October 29, 1781, to November 6, 1781. He saw some service in 1775,
765
PATTERSON
and in October, 1776, he was at White Plains, where, in company with Thomas Marean, they each carried off a fine horse from the British. When the American army retreated he was one of the party left behind to load and carry off the stores. He was one of the originators of the company which bought what is known as the "Boston Purchase", or the Boston Ten Townships, in the counties of Broome and Tioga, New York. He was one of the three men sent out to view the land in the year 1785 or 1786, Colonel David Pixley (his brother-in-law) and Captain Joseph Raymond were the other two. They explored the country and made the location before others were taken in. They intended originally to have eleven proprietors, but the number was increased to sixty. Amos Pat- terson spent most of his time (except winters) on the "Purchase" from 1780 till 1791, when he began clearing a farm and built the house of hewn logs which stood until 1855 on the farm owned in 1856 by Lawrence Allen, in Union, New York, three miles west of Binghamton. In 1793 he took his family from Rich- mond, Massachusetts to share his life in the wilderness. They arrived there March 3, 1793, having been thirteen days on the road. In 1793 he built on Choconut creek the first sawmill in the present town of Union, New York. May 5, 1797, he removed to the farm three miles below on the Susquehanna river, where he lived the remainder of his life. He first lived in a small plank house, but, October 12, 1800, he moved to a large house he had built on the bank of the river. This house is still standing in a good state of preservation. Amos Patterson became a man of prominence in his neighborhood. When Broome county was formed in 1806 he was appointed one of the judges of the county, an office he held by two subsequent appointments until 1813. He took great interest in the culture of fruit. He planted apple seeds in 1792, and in 1803 made the first cider from the fruit grown on the resulting trees. Forty-five bar- rels was the first crop, and sold for eight dollars a barrel, being the first ever made in that section. Amos Patterson died at Union, March 5, 1817. He and his wife were buried in the family burying ground, on the southwest corner of the farm, where a monument of Pittsfield marble marks the spot.
Amos Patterson married, March 30, 1775, Anne Williams, born in Colchester, Connecticut, March 22, 1753, daughter of John and Abigail (Crocker) Wil- liams ; she died in Union, December 25, 1815. Anne (Williams) Patterson had three and probably five ancestors on the "Mayflower" --- John Tilley, Elizabeth Tilley, his daughter, and John Howland, who afterward married Elizabeth Til- ley. The two in controversy are Governor Carver and wife. The old Hartford Bible records John Howland's marriage to "John Tilley's daughter Elizabeth, granddaughter of Governor Carver." Mrs. Annie Arnoux Haxton, in her "Signers of the Mayflower Compact", says she is satisfied that Elizabeth Tilley was the granddaughter of Governor Carver, and that John Tilley probably married Carver's daughter in England before going to Holland. Anne (Williams) Pat- terson descends thus from (I) John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. (II) John Howland, married Mary Lee. (III) Hannah Howland, married Jonathan Crocker. (IV) James Crocker, married Alice Swift. (V) Abigail Crocker, married John Williams. (VI) Anne Williams, married Amos Paterson. Amos and Anne (Williams) Patterson were the parents of eleven children, seven

daughters and four sons: I. Lucy, died an accidental death at age of three. 2. Chester, see forward. 3. Nancy, married Dr. Erastus Robinson. 4. Lucy, mar- ried Jonathan Day, October 14, 1802. 5. Lyman, a merchant of Binghamton, New York, married Mehitabel Seymour. 6. Sally, married Dr. Charles Coryell from whom she was granted a divorce. 7. Ann, married Anson Higbe, a farmer of Newark Valley, New York. 8. Sophia, unmarried. 9. Amos, drowned in the Susquehanna river, aged seven years. 10. Joseph, born Union, N. Y., February 22, 1795, was graduated from Union College with highest honors, was sheriff of Broome county, New York in 1820 and 1821; he removed to Penfield, New York, where he was supervisor, afterwards was a country merchant at Ontario, New York, where his property was lost by fire. He died in Emporia, Kansas. He married (first) Eliza Seymour, (second) Hannah Maria (Fuller) Green- wood, widow of Doctor William Greenwood of Ontario. 11. Martha, married Philander Hooper, a farmer of Union, New York.
CHESTER PATTERSON, eldest son and second child of Amos and Anne (Wil- liams) Paterson, was born in Richmond, Massachusetts, September 24, 1777, died September 22, 1857. He left New England with his parents for New York State in 1793. As long as his father lived, Chester remained with him as farmer and lumberman, which were their principal lines of business. He was an able man, successful in business and prominent in the public life of his day. He was town clerk of Union, New York, for many years, sheriff of Broome county, New York, from 1809 to 1812, inclusive, represented Broome county in the state legislatures of 1819-20-21, and was a presidential elector in 1824, cast- ing his vote for John Quincy Adams. He married, March 26, 1823, Mary Ann Elliott, born in Killingworth, now Clinton, Connecticut, May 5, 1804, daugh- ter of William and Lovisa (Lane) Elliott. She died July 23, 1873. They con- tined to reside in Union on the farm until 1839, when they removed to Newark Valley, New York, where they are both buried in Hope Cemetery. Mary Ann Elliott descends in the seventh generation from Rev. Thomas Thacher, first pas- tor of the Old South Church, Boston, February 16, 1669. Rev. Thomas Thacher's father, Rev. Peter Thacher, was rector of St. Edmunds, Salisbury, England. His wife, Elizabeth Partridge, was the daughter of Rev. Ralph Part- ridge, the first pastor at Duxbury, Massachusetts, and his son, Ralph Thacher was a missionary to the Indians.
Chester Patterson and Mary Ann (Elliott) Patterson were the parents of six children ; three sons and three daughters.
David Williams, born in Union, Broome county, New York, July 15, 1824, and died in Newark Valley, New York, November 18, 1892. He obtained a good common school education and studied dentistry at Rochester, New York, entering the dental profession in 1844. He removed to West Winsted, Connec- ticut, December 24, 1846, where he practiced until May, 1865, when he returned to Newark Valley with his family, and henceforth gave himself up entirely to the study and writing of genealogy, in which he had become deeply interested while in Connecticut. He became an authority on American Genealogy and compiled and published some works in that field. His most extensive work was the "Whitney Family of Connecticut", comprising three quarto volumes, and with
