Notes for John Harvey Patten: 

Source: email from Jeff Patten 30 June 2002 

"According to the obituary of his brother Judson A. Patten in 1925, John and another brother, Levi, owned 

and operated the Harrow grist mill for a time in Essex County. According to the 1871 Ontario census for 

Oxford County in Blenheim Township, John lived under his father's roof and worked as a labourer and 

according to the 1881 Ontario census for Oxford County in Blenheim Township, John had a wife and three 

children and was listed again as a labourer under his own census heading. His brother Levi and family went 

West in 1883 and at one point or another his brother Judson became a painter and decorator. Judson was 

also listed in the Ontario census in Oxford County in Blenheim Township in 1881. Between 1871 and 1881 

was very busy for the brothers, moving to Essex, starting a mill, then getting rid of it and moving back to 

Oxford. Levi does NOT show up in the 1871 or 1881 Oxford census. I wonder if the mill failed under their 

ownership or if they started it, sold it for a profit and then went on to their own separate endeavors? Judson 

of course went back to Essex to become a successful businessman and politician." 

"According to the Historical Atlas for Oxford County, Blenheim Township, shows John Patton living on 

Lot 1 Concession 7, along with C., David, and Walter C. Patton."

OCCUPATION AS A MILLER. MARRIAGE REGISTRATION # 006977 WITNESSES: JOSEPH 

PATTEN AND ALICE MAUD COX" 

"In September 1876, gold was discovered at Fortynine Creek, nine miles west of Nelson, resulting in a 

minor rush of prospectors from the United States to the site of the find. In the years 1876 to 1869, miners 

wages were $4 to $5 a day. Gold dust was worth $18 an ounce. Mining was carried on around Hall Creek, 

Fortynine Creek and the Pend d'Oreille. In an item in the December 2nd, 1893, edition of the Nelson 

Miner, Richard Fry of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, stated that two men made $1900 each in two weeks. 

After this mineral find was exploited, quiet again returned to the forested valleys and 15 years went by 

before another rush of people came to the area." http://www.discovernelson.com/history/index.html

"Henry Carter was born in Dorking, England. He came to near Whiteaker, 7 miles northeast of Stayton, in 

1871, moving from Austin, Mower County, Minnesota, where he had lived for fifteen years. Five children 

were born to him and Elizabeth, all surviving him." (This is in error, as not all his children were by 

Elizabeth). [Obit in Patton Scrapbook; also see Marion County Probate #1841]. 

Young. Descendants of Josiah Bull. 

"Henry came to Canada in 1832, sailing from Liverpool. He travelled alone and never again heard from his 

family in England. After their marriage, Elizabeth and Henry went to live in Austin, Minnesota where the 

nearest supply center was St. Paul. In 1871 they had moved to a farm near Stayton, Marion County, 

Oregon... Henry and Ira went to Oregon, settling 16 miles east of Salem. Later they sent for Elizabeth and 

their three surviving sons, who came by railroad to Redding, CA where the railroad ended. From there they 

had to travel by 

stagecoach to Marion County... Henry hired Chinese, who lived in the barn, to help dig out oak grubs from 

the farm. The oaks had first been chopped off at the top of the ground. They split the fir trees into rails and 

fenced the land. Henry kept goats there to eat the shoots until the roots began to rot, then they'd toss the 

roots into a pile and burn them... Ira helped his father set out the long rows of evergreens which border each 

side of the long land leading from the mail road up to the farmhouse and other buildings."

Missouri State Guard. The unit fought at Elkhorn Tavern, then moved east of the Mississippi River and was 

dismounted. After fighting at Iuka and Corinth, it was assigned to M.E. Green's Brigade, Department of 

Mississippi and East Louisiana. It took an active part in the fight at Big Black River Bridge and on July 4, 

1863, was captured at Vicksburg . After the exchange it was assigned to General Cockrell's Brigade, and 

consolidated with the 3rd (Samuel's) Missouri Cavalry Battalion. It fought with the Army of Tennessee 

throughout the Atlanta Campaign and was part of Hood's operations in Tennessee. Later it was involved in 

the defense of Mobile. On May 4, 1862, the regiment contained 536 effectives and lost 9 killed and 54 

wounded at Corinth. The 1st/3rd Battalion reported 25 killed, 80 wounded, and 3 missing during the 

Atlanta Campaign and sustained 56 casualties at Allatoona. The small command surrendered with the 

Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. The field officers were Colonel Elijah Gates; 

Lieutenant Colonels Richard B. Chiles, George W. Law, and William D. Maupin; and Majors Robert R.

24. Lorenzo Dow Heater 107,108 , born January 13, 1819 in Braxton Co., (West) Virginia; died March 

22, 1899 in Home of son Peter, Sublimity, Marion Co., Oregon. He was the son of 48. Peter Sr. Heater 

and 49. Elizabeth Wilson. He married 25. Sophia J. Morley December 19, 1844 in Henry Co., Iowa. 

25. Sophia J. Morley 109,110 , born May 09, 1818 in Ohio 111,112 ; died March 05, 1897 in Silverton, 

Marion Co., Oregon. She was the daughter of 32. Moses Morley and 33. Catherine Watkins/Wadkins. 

Notes for Lorenzo Dow Heater: 

Death certificate of daughter Elizabeth Heater White lists Lorenzo's birthplace as Pennsylvania. 

Arrived in Oregon 01 September 1852. According to family tradition, Lorenzo Dow Heater actually made 

the trip across America to Oregon three times (Charles Morley; April, 1987). I have so far been able to 

document the fact that L.D. Heater came to Oregon with two of his brothers and their families in 1850; 

leaving Des Moines, Iowa in May of that year. An interview with Rebecca Heater Hess in 1933 reveals 

that her father was in California at the gold mines. I suspect that he went with Martin Shuck, who was the 

fatherinlaw of Lorenzo's brother, Benjamin. I have found documentation that "Mr. Shuck went from 

California to the Isthmus of Panama, walked across, and went from there to Iowa." Rebecca Heater Hess 

stated that her father returned home to Iowa in the Fall of 1851. The following Spring the family left Iowa 

for Oregon, travelling across the plains to the Willamette Valley by ox team and prairie schooner. 

Lorenzo bought the 320acre Donation Land Claim of Jimmy Male. Jimmy was a cousin of Sophia Morley 

Heater, and had come to Oregon in 1850 with Sophia's brothers, William and John Morley.

Notes for Charles Pemberton Patten: 

From Records of Jeff Patten: 

Woodstock SentinelReview obituary 04/23/1891 

"Death has claimed another victim. Mr. Charles Patten, a deacon of the Baptist church, died on Tuesday 

morning, aged eighty years. Mr. Patten spent the flower of his days on his farm in Dumfries, where he 

laboured hard, making a fine home for himself. Having sold his place for a good figure fifteen years ago, he 

came to spend the remainder of his days in Drumbo. His wife died about ten years ago. He leaves a family 

of seven boys to mourn his loss. His oldest son, David, has always remained home and is still on the farm 

here." 

Woodstock SentinelReview obituary 04/24/1891 Friday 

"Charles Patten of Drumbo, father of W.C.Patten of this place, died on Tuesday. Funeral Thursday. Mr. 

Patten and Mr. Baker were men of wide acquaintance and highly respected by all who knew them." 

N.B.Charles was dismissed by letter from the St.George Baptist church in 1846 which I presume must 

have been about the time he moved to the Oxford County, Drumbo area. It is also noted in the Baptist 

archives that Mary (his wife) was also dismissed in 1846 from St.George so I presume they were already 

married in the St.George area (Dumfries anyway) prior to 1846 and moved to Oxford together.

Notes for Mary Ann Steele: 

From research done by Jeff Patten: 

SentinelReview obituary Friday 10/17/1879 

"The demise of Mrs. Paton, wife of Deacon Charles Paton, removes from our midst an old and highly 

esteemed resident of Blenheim. Although somewhat retiring and unostentatious in her disposition, she 

always took an active interest in all that was good and her family and large circle of relatives and friends 

have the full sympathy of the community in their bereavement." 

London Free Press 10/18/1879 

"At Drumbo on Thursday Oct. 9th May, beloved wife of Deacon Charles Paton, aged 65 years." 

Mary and at least some of her siblings were probably born in Saltfleet, Wentworth County, Ontario, 

Canada. 

According to the death certificate of her son, John Harvey Patten, Mary Ann Patten was 

born in Pennsylvania.

need. He never married, and about five years ago feeling poorly, moved to Wolverton with his 

brother Walter, where he remained until his death. He will be greatly missed by his many friends

Notes for Walter Collins Patten: 

SentinelReview obituary 11/29/1917 

"Drumbo, Nov. 28.W.C. Patten, another of our esteemed redidents, passed 

away to the great beyond Friday evening, and on Monday afternoon the remains were laid away at 

the family plot in Wolverton. The surviving relatives are the widow and five children as follows: 

R.J. at home, Charles of Cleveland, 

Weyborn, of Macaun, Sask., Mrs. Gibson of St. Catharines and Miss Edith of 

Detroit. All are here with the exception of Weyborn. Rev. Mr. Shearer had 

charge of the funeral services, Rev. Mr. Morrow assisting. Deceased was in his 78th year. 

In religion he was a Baptist, and in politics a staunch liberal. He was a good citizen and a 

kind neighbor, as was nicely touched upon by Mr. Sheare. He will be much missed by those who 

lived near him. During the last few years he spent most of his time in summer in beautifying the 

surrounds of his home. He had excellent taste in flowers and shrubbery, and took great delight in 

working among plants. His place could not be passed in daylight without attracting those whose 

taste had been cultivated in horticulture. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of all. His brother, 

D.J.Patten, of Detroit, and relatives of St.George and other places were here attending the funeral." 

 

In the 1901 census Walter lists himself as having an English origin whereas all his cousins in 

Brant County are claiming Scottish ancestry. In one of the previous census, the family claimed to 

have German ancestry. I don't know what that's all about.

on Lot 1 Concession 7, along with C., David, and John.

Notes for Levi William Patten: 

From "Historic Armstrong B.C. and Its Street Names" 

Although Patten Drive is a relatively new street, its namesake was one of 

Armstrong's earliest settlers. Levi William Patten and his family arrived in the area in August of 

1883. Alfred Postill, a relative and friend of Levi's wife, Emily, had asked Mr. Patten to manage 

his sawmill at Deep Creek. He quickly agreed and the Pattens, with their three children, Edward 

W., Charles J., and Lee A., came west from Ontario. Patten Drive is named after the middle child, 

Charles. The family travelled by rail through the United States to Portland, Oregon where they 

boarded a steamer to Victoria. From Victoria they took a boat passage up the Fraser River to Yale 

and then rode on a stage to the Okanagan Valley. 

Mr. Patten managed the sawmill for five years and then decided to purchase property next to 

the sawmill and built a custom gristmill. Levi Patten was the first person in the north end of the 

Valley to install proper facilities and the gristmill ran on power generated by the waterwheel. 

During the day the water power was required by the sawmill so the gristmill was operated at night. 

Mr. Patten continued to operate the sawmill for the next 22 years and the gristmill until a more 

modern flour mill was established in Enderby. The lumber that Levi produced in the sawmill was 

the lumber used to build the steamers which sailed on the rivers and lakes of the Okanagan Valley. 

Levi Patten was originally from Oxford County, Ontario, where he was born on August 19, 

1845. Mr. Patten taught school there for some years before becoming a flour miller. On March 17, 

1867, Levi William Patten and Emily Louise Robson were wed at the home of Edward Postill, the 

bride's uncle. Miss Robson was born in Malton, England in 1849. She immigrated to Canada and 

was adopted by the Postill family. After their arrival in Lansdowne, Mr. and Mrs. Patten became 

active community members in the pioneer village. Mr. Patten served the municipality as clerk, 

Reeve, and building inspector. He was also the police magistrate until he was forced to give up the 

position due to failing health. As a former teacher, Mr. Patten was interested in children and 

education and was a member of the school board. He was also an agent for the Wawanesa Mutual 

Fire Insurance Company and a member of the Spallumcheen Farmers Intitution. Wellknown for 

his accurate shooting, Mr. Patten was an enthusiastic member and supporter of the Armstrong Gun 

Club. He was also keenly interested in weather observation and submitted a monthly weather 

report to the newspaper. Another of Mr. Patten's interests was the Agricultural Fair, the forerunner 

of the Interior Provincial Exhibition. He was the president of the local Conservative Club and 

belonged to the congregation of the Zion United Church. 

Levi Patten lived and worked in the Armstrong area for 52 years. He died on May 25, 1936 

having been predeceased by his wife, Emily, in 1907. A true pioneer, Levi William Patten leaves 

behind a long record of service in the community which was carried on by his son Charles. 

According to the obituary of his brother Judson A. Patten in 1925, Levi and another brother, John, 

owned and operated the Harrow grist mill for a time in Essex county. 


The following sent to me by H.I.E.R.S in 1997. 

"In 1874, Alfred L. Munger sold a half acre of land on King Street, 358 feet west of the Queen 

Street corner, to Levi William Patten, to build the three storey `Harrow Steam Flouring Mill'. This 

same year, a mill owned by Samuel Hughson operated in East Haeeow, and a third at Oxley was 

owned by Hugh and Joseph Russell. Four years later, the Harrow mill was sold to Josiah Rumball, 

and in 1886 it had changed into a roller mill and was owned by Sylvester McLean in partnership 

with others." 

Amherstburg Echo article December 18/1874 

"There are three splendid grist mills in this township. One at Harrow is owned by Mr. Levi 

Patton, one east of Harrow, owned by Mr. Samuel Hughson, and a third at Oxley, owned by 

Russell Bros." 

Amherstburg Echo article March 31/1876 

"I.W. [should read L.W. I imagine] Patton & Brother, of the Harrow Grist and Flouring Mills, 

are doing a heavy business. On Tuesday, 354 bushels of wheat and Wednesday 181 bushels."

The following supplied by David and Elaine Woods of B.C. January/1999 regarding marriage date 

of Levi and Emily: 

Question by Jeff Patten ,"I had Emily marrying Levi William Patten March 17/1869. You had 

1867". 

Reply by Elaine Woods(nee Georgena Patten),"Got Emily's wedding date from a typewritten 

note from my Dad. So there is the possibility it is wrong. I note that their first child was born in 

Nov 1869, which is about 8 months after your wedding date. But as you know, the first one can 

come anytime!" 

N.B.Their marriage date is rather confusing as now I have 2 conflicting sources, verbally from 

John Marley and Elaine Woods against what I have recorded from the Kent County Register and 

the Christian Messenger.

Notes for Emily Louisa Robson: 

The following from Elaine Woods(nee Georgena Patten) regarding Emily's mother's name being 

Elizabeth "I have a small Bible, which has on the front page the name Elizabeth Robson, with the 

rest of the page torn out. On the remainder written upside down is "my mother & father married" 

and "Oct 24, 1844". On the next page is written, apparently in her handwriting "Emily Robson, 

Malton, England (Yorkshire)." 

I (Jeff Patten) also asked of Elaine if she knew if Emily was adopted, and she had this to say "the 

"adoption" information comes from a letter from Dorothy Postill Birrell, written to Dad and me in 

1983 saying that Emily was not "formally adopted". She did not think people bothered as much 

about that in those days. In another letter later in 1983 she says "there is no word of when Emily 

joined them or why, but when they (Postills) left Yorklshire for Canada she was with them." Dad 

always call Dot Birrell a cousin. Both of us used to write to her. I don't remember when she died, 

but think some time after Dad, who died in 1984. I am still trying to firm up the tenuous 

connections I have between the Postills and the Pattens".

vi. Charles F. Patten 192 , born 1847 in Blenheim, Oxford Co., Ontario; died Bef. 1925 193 

Notes for Charles F. Patten: 

According to the obituary of Amelia (Minnie) in the Amherstburg Echo February 23/1877, she 

was the sister of Dr.C.F. Patten of Harrow. According to the obituary of his brother Judson A. 

Patten (1925), Charles was mentioned again as having practised medicine in Harrow but was 

already deceased by then. 

Sent to me by H.I.E.R.S. (Harrow Early Immigrant Research Society) in 1997 was some 

excerpts from a book (probably a Harrow historical tome) relating to Patten/Pattons in the area and 

the following are about Charles I believe. 

"Dr. C.F. Patten, graduate of Trinity Collage, Toronto, was here in 1875 and 1876. It is not 

known how long he stayed. In 1888, Dr. George McKenzie of Poplar Hill was here, but in 1889 

his place was taken by Dr. Nathaniel Mitchell..." 

"One of the earliest forms of life and casualty insurance was supplied by the fraternal lodges. In 

1889, C.F. Patten recieved $100 from the AOUW (Workman) Relief Association for injuries he 

had recieved." 

Perhaps Charles was a doctor in Harrow until 1888 when he had an accident of some sort and 

his position as doctor was covered by George McKenzie. It mentions that he didn't recieve 

payment for injury until 1889 when another doctor came. Perhaps at that time Charles's injuries 

were deemed to interfere with his doctoring and a permanent replacement was given the job. All 

conjecture on my part however. The only other mention of Doctor Patten that I have at this time is 

an Amherstburg Echo article dated July 1/1876 "Gilbert 

Bernard of Colchester...arm broken when threshing clover...caught between the driving belt and 

the whirl...set by Dr. Patten of Harrow."

PATTONHENDRON "At the residence of Mr. Francis Wright in the Township of Colchester, 

on Tuesday, December 21st, by the Rev.R.W. Johnstone, Mr. Judson A. Patton of Drumbo, and 

Maggie, second daughter of Mrs. Thomas Armitage of Colchester". 

Amherstburg Echo Obituary January 30 1925 Page 1 

DEATH OF J.A. PATTEN 

ExMayor of Amherstburg 

The Echo recieved word Wednesday morning, from Los Angeles, Calif., that J.A. Patten, of 

Regina, a former prominent resident of Amherstburg, had passed away there on Friday morning, 

January 16th. It seems that Mr. Patten, who has been in frail health for some years, went there 

from Regina the week before, accompanied by Mrs. Patten, to spend the winter. He was quite 

exhausted by the trip, and the morning after, without taking any rest, went down to the city for 

some paint supplies. On Sunday he became seriously ill and gradually became worse until death 

came. The funeral was held on Monday, the 19th, under Masonic auspices, and his remains were 

placed in a vault for the time being, until Mrs. Patten decides whether she intends to return to 

Regina or remain in Los Angeles. Mr. Patten was a native of St.George, Ont., and came to 

Amherstburg nearly half a century ago. He was a double cousin of the late Judson S. Patton, 

prominent farmer of Malden, and the late Myles Patton, exreeve of Colchester South, their fathers 

having married three sisters. Two brothers of Mr. Patten, subject of this memoir, Levi and John, 

once owned and operated the Harrow grist mill, at that time located across the road from where the 

Baptist church now stands. Another brother, Dr. Charles Patten, now deceased, was a practising 

physician in Harrow, while his sole surviving brother is Dr. Joseph Patten, of Detroit. He married 

in Amherstburg Miss Margaret Hendron, daughter of the late Mrs. Thos. Armitage, Malden. Four 

children were born to them hereJosie, Mrs. deceased; Walter (Bud), who was killed on a 

railway accident in the Northwest; Gussie, Mrs. Cook, of California; and Eva, Mrs. Lucker, of 

Regina. Mr. Patten was a painter and decorator and an artist of rare ability. He took an active 

interest in municipal affairs and was Mayor of Amherstburg in 1899. He was prominent in 

Masonic circles and during the year 188393 presided as W.M. of Thistle Lodge. In 1900 the 

family moved to Regina, where he recieved a Government position in the Lands Titles office. He 

recieved gradual promotion and at the time of his death was Deputy Registrar for the Provincial 

Government, in charge of a large staff of employees. 

According to a bit sent to me from H.E.I.R.S., Judson was a Councillor in Colchester Twp. (before 

being split into south and north) in 1874, 1875, 1876 and was a Deputy Reeve in 1879. I believe 

he remained active in local politics in Colchester N. but do not have that information at hand. 

Amherstburg Echo August 27/1897 

"J.A. Patten is painting the exterior of the Lake View House. Some of the work is about 60 feet 

high and it is a very ticklish job."

"Moses Morley, a native of Virginia, born about 1788, removed with his parents when a small boy to Ohio, 

where he lived until after his marriage to Catherine Watkins, a native of Maryland, and the birth of several 

of his children. In 1850, although then past the prime of manhood, he made an overland trip to Oregon, 

crossing the plains with oxteams, and settled near Sublimity, Oregon. Two years later he sent for his wife 

who crossed the plains to join him. Their reunion was of brief duration, his death occuring in the same year, 

1852."

On April 14, 1850, Moses Morley started for Oregon, leaving most of his family behind. He arrived in 

Oregon October 2, 1850. Catharine arrived to join her husband September 1852. He apparently died 

before she arrived. He probably had other children before William who did not come to Oregon. Moses 

and Catharine Wadkins Morley had a total of 13 children. (Question: Moses arrived in Oregon Territory 


October 1850, but is also listed in the 1850 census with his family in Iowalikely he was listed there, even 

though he wasn't actually physically present). Some of this information may be in error, as Moses, 

William, and John are all listed in the 1850 Oregon Territory census, which was taken in January 1850.

This large farm was located south of Silver Falls Highway. It was directly opposite where Drift Creek 

Road joins the Silver Falls Highway. The farm was bordered on the west by Carter Road and on the north 

by the Silver Falls Highway. Henry Carter later bought a farm (Thomas Fine's old place) just one section 

to the west on the Highway, and Jacob Scott's farm (Thomas Coon's land claim) was just a few hundred 

yards east of the Morley place on the Highway. The farm was divided and sold, and by 1878 was owned 

by the Nott, Saunders, Hayer, and Hannah families.

"Closely identified with the farming interests of Marion County is John Morley, who is pleasantly 

located about three miles northeast of Silverton, where he is prosperously engaged in the pursuit of 

agriculture. He is numbered among the veteran farmers of the county who have labored with 

unceasing toil in their chosen vocation, and are now enjoying comfortable competencies, acquired 

chiefly by their own efforts. Of goof old Virginia stock, he was born May 9, 1823, in Jackson 

County, Ohio, a son of Moses Morley. Obtaining his early education in the district schools, and 

remaining on the old home farm in Ohio until twenty one years of age. He then left the parental 

roof and began the battle of life for himself, working for wages the first three years thereafter. In 

1847, following the tide of immigration westward, he and two boys by the name of Darst, started 

for Oregon, crossing the plains with an ox cart, and being four months on the road. They crossed 

the Missouri River at St. Joseph May 5, 1847 and reached the Willamette Valley September 5, 

1847. Becoming a pioneer of Marion County, he took up a claim near Sublimity, about three miles 

from the town, and after his marriage settled to housekeeping on property still nearer that place, 

living there about eight years. Removing to Silverton in 1862, Mr. Morley turned his attention to 

the milling business, operating a grist mill there for about eight years. In 1871 he bought a farm 

nearly three miles northeast of Silverton, after which he purchased the farm that he now owns and 


occupies. He has one hundred and forty six acres of land, which he devotes to stock raising,a dn 

general farming, twelve acres of which is in hops." 

"In 1847, age 24, he started westward with two other boys. It took four months with ox team from 

St. Joe, MO. He took a claim near Sublimity, OR. In 1862 moved to Silverton, OR and opened a 

grist mill which he ran for eight years. He purchased two farms near Silverton on the Abiqua 

River where he spent the rest of his life. He was a pioneer in hop growing. Interment: Miller 

Cemetery, Silverton." [895240.ged]

Obituary: Silverton Appeal, March 18, 1899, 3:6 

CooperAt Couer d'Alene, Idaho, Tuesday, February 23, 1899, Mrs. James Cooper. 

Mrs. Cooper was born in Ohio, March 4, 1834. In early life she removed with parents to Iowa, 

and in that state in 1849, was married to James Cooper. 

In 1853, with her husband she crossed the plains to Oregon and settled in Marion County. 

Mr. and Mrs. Cooper were former residents of Silverton and will be remembered by all of the 

older residents of this city. In an early day Mr. Cooper was a prominent business man in this city. 

Mrs. Cooper is a sister of Uncle John Morley of Abiqua. 

She leaves a husband 71 years of age and eight children to mourn her loss. 

Obituary: Coeur d'Alene Press, 25 February 1899 

"A Pioneer Lady Passes Away 

Mrs. James Cooper died on her golden wedding anniversary. 

The busy and eventful life of Mrs. James Cooper is ended. Born in Vermillion County, Ohio, 


on March 4, 1833 she would have reached the ripe old age of 66 years next month. 

In early life she moved with her parents to Iowa and was one of the pioneers of that state. On 

February 23, 1849, she married James Cooper at Mount Pleasant, Iowa and the two have lived 

together for fifty years, death calling her to her reward on her golden wedding anniversary, 

Tuesday, February 23, 1899. Of this union nine children were born, one now dead and eight 

living, all of whom except William, now in Nevada, were at her bedside when the angel of death 

beckoned her spirit to the better ___. The children present were Mrs. Mary Woolen, George, 

William, Walter, Isaac, Jasper, James and Frank Cooper. Mrs. Cooper also had several sisters and 

one brother who are living in Iowa, Illinois, Oregon and California. 

Her life has been an eventful one. Crossing the plains with a large number of neighbors and 

other eastern people in 1853, and settling in Marion county, Oregon, during the fall of that year, 

she may be called one of the pioneers of that state. During that long and tedious journey of six 

months there were many incidents to try the metal of strong hearted men, but the ladies in the train 

were ever ready to face the dangers and endure all hardships for the purpose of securing a home of 

their own in the land 'where rolls the Oregon' without complaint, and Mrs. Cooper was one of 

them. During the trip she witnessed several fights with the Indians in which a number of the 

redskins were sent to their happy hunting grounds and several members of the train were killed. 

Fording swollen streams and facing other dangers were incidents of common occurance, and it 

was while wending their way up the banks of Green river that her son George was born. 

In 1871, Mr. and Mrs. Cooper gathered their family and worldly possessions together and 

removed from Oregon to Walla Walla, Wash., settling the following year in Whitman county 

where they remained until 1891, when they came to Coeur d'Alene. When they settled in 

Whitman country the Palouse country was undeveloped and considered fit only for a cattle range. 

The funeral takes place today at 2 o'clock p.m., from the family residence. Services will be 

conducted by Rev. T. G. Hodgson, with interment in the post cemetery. 

Mrs. Cooper was a lady of excellent character, and has been an invalid for over a year. She 

leaves a husband 71 years of age to mourn the loss of a life companion. The family has the 

sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintences in their deep sorrow."

49. Elizabeth Wilson, born in Virginia or Illinois. She was the daughter of George Wilson. 

Notes for Peter Sr. Heater: 

Was born in Pennsylvania about 1783. He was a descendant of German ancestors who settled there at an 

early date. He married Elizabeth Wilson, a native of Virginia and daughter of George Wilson, a 

Revolutionary War soldier. Miss Wilson was born about 1794. Some controversy apparently exists 

concerning Elizabeth Wilson. One researcher believes her name was actually Elizabeth Dow. 

Peter Heater served in the war of 1812, having been drafted at Harrision County, Virginia. He is probably 

buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Iowa. Peter left his farm to Noah, after the other boys moved to Oregon. 

Hiram lived in the Salt Lick area of W. Virginia, near the town of Heaters. The family lived in Virginia 

Territory, now Braxton County, W. Virginia, before they moved to Iowa. (Information provided by Flodene 

Heater Jarvill, 1987) 

Heaters, West Virginia is on State Highway 19, just east of Interstate 79, about halfway between Charleston 

and Clarksburg in central West Virginia. 

The family moved from Virginia to Henry County, Iowa in 1838. Hiram remained in (West) Virginia. 

Peter Heater served in the War of 1812 in the company commanded by John Bozart in the 5th Regiment of 

V.W. commanded by Lt. Col. W.L. Street. He served from Aug. 30 to Dec. 10, 1814. He was ill and 

received an honorable discharge. In 1850, 1855, and 1856 he appeared before the clerk of the District 

Court of Henry County in Iowa and received an affidavit of his identity for the purpose of obtaining bounty 

land according to the Act passed September 28, 1850.

and Deborah Collins. 

Notes for P. James Patten: 

Information from Jeff Patten: 

According to a letter from Diane Patten Guyatt McDougall in August of 

1997, James Patten's father was a William Patten. William is listed in the 

1785 census of Stafford County Virginia as "three white souls, no slaves, one 

dwelling" and is supposed to be the only Patten in Virginia at that time. This 

info comes by way of Benjamin Patten (Diane's grandfather) and his uncle 

Walter (a son of Aaron) who apparently made a trip to Virginia at one time to 

learn more of the roots of the family. Their findings were handed down through 

Frank to Harold Cherry and in turn to Diane. In any event, James and Deborah 

came to Canada in 1804 to Jerseyville, and in 1824, settled on Lot 3, Conc.III 

in South Dumfries, Brant County. That last being corroborated by several 

sources, so quite likely the first is equally as accurate. 

The following by Helen Patton (nee Morgan) 

"JAMES AND HIS FAMILY ARRIVED IN SOUTH DUMFRIES IN 1923. THEY HELPED BUILD 

THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN 1824 WHERE THE CEMETERY NOW STANDS. 

JAMES MOVED TO NEW JERSEY WITH AN UNCLE. HE MET DEBORAH WILLISON AND 

WANTED TO MARRY. THEY WERE QUAKERS AND HER FATHER REQUESTED THAT JAMES 

WORK FOR HIM FOR THREE YEARS BEFORE HE WAS ALLOWED TO MARRY. AFTER LEVI'S 

BIRTH THEY MOVED TO UPPER CANADA. THEY STAYED AT ANCASTER SEVERAL YEARS. 

THEN BOUGHT THE FARM IN ST. GEORGE IN 1831. THEY HAD FAMILY REUNIONS IN 

1930'S." 

According to an email from Jane McIntyre (nee Armstrong) in October 1998, James was from Staunton 

Virginia and his father died while serving in Washington's army. This too is supposed to have come from 

Mr. Benjamin Patten, Diane McDougall's grandfather.patten@golden.net (Jeff Patten) Mar 26, 1997 

PATTEN, WILLSON 

I am looking for details on my ancestor JAMES PATTEN. He is reported to have been born circa 1773, 

somewhere in Virginia as per LDS records. He was possibly Scottish in decent and was Baptist in religion, 

at least he was a member of the Baptist Church here in Ontario. He moved to New Jersey and married 

Deborah Willson circa 1798. He then moved to the Ancaster area of Ontario circa 1802. He died in 

St.George, Ontario Feb.2 1846. He had 10 children that I know of, 8 of whom lived and I have some 

information about. Thanks for any help that can be had.

Burial: St.George Baptist Cemetery 281,282 


Notes for Deborah Willison/Willson: 

It says in the Canadian Baptist Archives that Deborah was received by letter in 

9/15/1832. Subsequent correspondance to the CBA finds that they do not have the actual 

letters as they are just alluded to in the Church minutes. Deborah is mentioned in the 

St.George record Aug.18/1827 "... and sister Patten all in default for not attending to 

church meeting. The Church decide by excluding them." She was, as mentioned before, 


estored to church membership in 1832. As per to the 1861 census she was living with 

her son Hugh the year she died.

Ontario; born March 01, 1808 in Fort George, Ontario, Canada 295 ; died January 29, 1866 in 

Colchester, Essex County, Ontario 296 . 

Notes for Levi Patten: 

It says in the Canadian Baptist Archives that a Levi and Elizabeth were both dismissed by letter 

from the St.George Baptist Church in 5/12/1860. Perhaps this was the time that he and his family 

moved to Essex County to the Colchester/Harrow area. Apparently somewhere in his or his 

children's generation is when the family name Patten changed to Patton in that area.

Notes for John Patten: 

I am uncertain about this John Patten being an actual son of James and Deborah Patten. All the 

other Patten children are Baptist yet the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census say this family is Methodist 

which holds true with some of the other Patten/Patton families in the area who were from Ireland 

and Scotland but are no relation. Still, his birth date as per these censuses is consistant with 

information provided to me by Helen Morgan Patton and an LDS microfiche. There is also some 

confusion on children (census was hard to read). 

Helen Morgan Patton seems to think that John may have been a doctor. I hope to run across 

some information one way or the other.

Deceased was a Canadian and a resident of this section for the major portion of her long life. 

She was married in 1840 and with her husband led the strenuous life of the farm, doing her part as 

wife and mother faithfully and well. She was well known and highly respected by a wide circle of 

friends. Early a member of the Baptist church she, with her husband and family were ever found 

among the staunchest of the workers. She had lived to see her large family of seven sons and one 

daughter grow up and settle in life, all of them with the exception of one, within a few miles of the 

homestead. Her daughter, Mrs. Cook, was her faithful attendant during a long illness. Her sons,
