John Patterson was certainly a man of importance in his time. Early in life he lived in Cumberland Co, and he is certainly the John who was one of the guarantiers of the salary of Rev James Campbell. He is said to have married Isabel daughter of Daniel and Marian (Lindsay) McDuffie, a very prominent family in the area. Later John and his family moved to Moore Co and settled near present town of Aberdeen.
