General Notes: Wife - Margaret Patterson


She was a dutiful daughter and worked in the fields and at the loom, sharing the family burden and mothering the little ones as they were added to the family. After the death of her father, she, her brother Andrew, and sis­ters Martha and Nancy, purchased a house and four acres in New Alexandria, Pennsylvania, where they spun, knit and wove stockings and blankets for the entire neigh­borhood, and great was the fame of these goods.
