      This report compiled by James S. Hunt and dated 31 Aug 2014 ignores many individuals named James Patterson and concentrates on the descendants of the s/o of James Patterson, Jr. and his wife Agnes Finney [She may be Agnes Finley-mfe] It is postulated that this James who married Agnes is the s/o John as is noted in the diary of Rev. Cuthbertson. Cuthbertson arrives in this country in 1751. One of his first deeds is to baptize a group of congregants who are surely 'grown men and women'. Of these is James Patterson, and his sister Jane. Other notations by Cuthbertson show births of several Patterson baptisms to a James Patterson, a Peter Patterson, William Patterson, and others. The Muddy Run Meeting House was overrun with James Pattersons!

    2. [S226] Diary of Rev. John Cuthbertson, http://reynoldspatova.org/documents/Cuthperson-Scan.pdf.
      James Patterson is found mentioned numerous times in the Diaries of the Reverend John Cuthbertson who arrived in the Maryland, Pennsylvania area in 1751. Margaret Patterson who married William Reynolds is the daughter of this James. Additionally, the mention of 'widow Patterson' seems to be the mother of James. Furthermore, mention is also made in the Cuthbertson Diary on page 117 of "A. Finley and James McClenehans 22 miles from John Watts." James Patterson's son, William married Esther Harris Findley (1745-1789) in Pennsylvania.
