Note: Henry Patton and three brothers were in the army of William of Orange and participated in the defense of Londonderry from April to August 1689. He was present at the Battle of the Boyne,
July 1st, 1690. Henry and family left Scotland during the reign of James the Second of
England. He settled in the Province of Ulster in the north of Ireland near the Town of
Newtonlimavady in the County of Derry (now Londonderry).
From ""James Patton and the Appalachian Colonists", Anne Rhea Bruce:
Henry and Sarah lived inthe Manor of Springfield, Parish of Clondevaddock, Barony of
Kilmacrenan, County Donegal. Mary Preston Gray, in her book "The Family Tree" states this
Henry was a ship builder, operating merchant ships.
From "A Chronicle of the American Lineage of the Pattons" by C. L. Patton, Springfield,
Illinois, 1954, pp 10-11:
The earliest authentic record of the Patton family is of one Henry Patton, who was born in
the Lowlands of Scotland near the town of Dundee. He was married to Sarah Lynn, daughter of
the Laird of Loch Lynn, Scotland. There were several children born to this marriage, the
names of three being known: John, James and Elizabeth. There were three other daughters and
several sons, one of whom was presumably William. Probably others of this union were
Matthew, Thomas, Robert, Henry, David, Benjamin and Hugh.
Henry and his family left Scotland during the reign of James the Second of England. He
settled in the Provinde of Ulster in the north of Ireland, near the town of Newton-Limavady,
in the County of Derry (now Londonderry). There John, James and Elizabeth were born.
All of these Pattons were in Pennsylvania at the same time and all owned land in Lancaster
County. Their names all appear in Augusta County, Virginia records at a later t ime. They
were all property owners in Augusta and resided in the same vicinity.
There has been a tradition in the Patton family, handed down from generation to generation,
that one of the Patton ancestors was the father of "eleven sons, all over six feet in
height." Henry ws probably the ancestor referred to in this legend.
It is not known if Henry migrated to America, but there is definite evidence that John, James
and Elizabeth took up their residence in August County, Virginia. In the Pennsylvania
archives the names of William, Matthew, Thomas, Robert, Henry, David, Benjamin and Hugh all
appear as purchasers of parcels of land in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, as follows;
William Patton - 200 acres, July 23, 1735; Matthew Patton - 200 acres, October 29, 1735;
Thomas Patton - 100 acres, October 13, 1739; Robert Patton - 200 acres, June 3, 1741; Henry
Patton - no date; David Patton - no date; Benjamin Patton - no date; Hugh Patton - no date.
The records of all of these ppurchases are found in the same volume of the Archives and
extend over a period from 1735 to 1744. All of these holdings were in Lancaster County. The
names of all these Pattons are found at a later date in the records of August County,
Virginia.
