was launched for organization of a

then were numerous in the unex-
plored Juniata Valley. Captain
Patterson served in one of the
Colonial regiments under Colonel
James Burd, and his son, Lieutenant
William Patterson, later captain and
afterward colonel, also served in the
regiment. Both fought with Colonel

with distinction in the Revolution.
Mary Stewart Patterson, whose

son were married in 1886.

is $3.50, ,OOO,000 more than the total
cost of administering the govern
