Please pass on the following note of interest: There is a free cemetery index at www.NorthHillsGenealogists.org for several northern municipalities in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania that border Butler County: Franklin Park Borough, Marshall Township, Pine Township, Richland Township and Hampton Township. With the addition of the latest _Pioneer Cemetery_ book in the series (now in pre-publication sale until Saturday), the North Hills Genealogists [of Pittsburgh] have completed a total reading of the oldest cemeteries in the above municipalities. Reading every stone in any cemetery founded before 1900, they have preserved the cemetery information in the northern Allegheny County area. The books are hardcover, library-quality and include *unpublished* church records and full tombstone descriptions with color, condition, symbols, and stone carvers' names for all stones, cross-referenced to the church burial records. Indexed and cross-referenced with maiden names, military units, place names, fraternal symbols and funeral home directors. Maps, directions, histories of each cemetery, illustrations, and photos enhance the volumes. The full comprehensive indexes to all the books are available for free online. Best wishes, Elissa When you say "Why don't they have a book on ____?" consider that "they" is "us" who haven't done it yet. Join the ranks of volunteers and get involved!

You do notice that Robert did have a son named John PATTON. Enjoy.... History of Butler County Pennsylvania, 1895 Biographical Sketches, Chapter 72 (Pgs. 1035-1083) Source: http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabutler/1895/95x72-3.htm Hypothesis: Perhaps Robert and Rebecca were parents of John H. Patton (b. 1801)? ROBERT PATTON, with his wife Rebecca, came from Centre county, Pennsylvania, to Butler county, in 1798, and settled in what is now Concord township. He was a native of Donegal county, Ireland, and immigrated to the United States with his parents when nine years of age. The Pattons were among the first settlers of this township, and reared a family of twelve children, only two of whom survive, viz.: Sarah Ann, who married J. R. THOMPSON, and resides in Scioto county, Ohio, and David, of Concord township. Robert PATTON died upon his farm in August, 1842, aged seventy-two years. His wife died on December 12, 1864, aged eight-four years. (NOTES: Robert Patton born about 1770 & died Aug 1842; Rebecca born about 1780 & died Dec 1864) DAVID PATTON, son of Robert and Rebecca PATTON, was born in Concord township, Butler county, April 27, 1822, and grew to maturity upon the homestead farm. His advantages for obtaining an education were limited to a few months each year at a subscription school. Upon the death of his father he inherited the old homestead, where his entire life has been passed. Though formerly a Republican, he is now a Prohibitionist. He has held various township offices, and is a member of Concord Grange, JAMES L. DIXON was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1818, and is a son of William DIXON, and a grandson of Thomas DIXON, who came from Ireland to Butler county, Pennsylvania, about 1800, and purchased 400 acres of land from the government, located in what is now Penn township. His father was a man of good education, and lived in Pittsburg for many years, returning to Butler county in 1819, and settling on a portion of the land purchased by Thomas DIXON. After coming to Butler county he taught school for many years, and filled the office of justice of the peace for a long period. William DIXON and wife were the parents of nine children, and spent their lives upon the homestead farm where the subject of this sketch now lives. James L. DIXON married Mary McCANDLESS, who died in 1876, at the age of fifty-four years. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, to which denomination Mr. DIXON also belongs. [p. 908] WINFIELD SCOTT DIXON was born in Allegheny township, Butler county, April 17, 1853, son of James L. and Mary DIXON. He was reared upon a farm, and now owns the land entered by his great-grandfather. He married Annie L. BALPH, a daughter of Joseph BALPH, a farmer of this county, April 17, 1877. She was born August 12, 1854, and was a teacher in the public schools for several years. They are the parents of six children, viz.: George Clarence; Winfield Russell; Charles Warren; Homer Scott; Frank Calvin, and Paul Eugene. Mr. DIXON and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which organization he fills the office of trustee. Politically, he is a Republican, has held the offices of justice of the peace and school director for several years each, has filled nearly every local office in the township, and was census enumerator in 1890.

Seems likely since our John also named his own children David, Rebecca, Robert, William and Susanna perhaps after his own brothers and sisters? DIED On Thursday the 22nd ult., Mr. Robert Patton of Donegal township, aged 73 years. The deceased was one of the first settlers of this county, and was a resident of it 44 years. He maintained a most estimable character, and was beloved and respected by all who knew him. During his illness he suffered severely, but he bore it with Christian fortitude, placing a firm reliance on Him who is "mighty to save". The kindness of disposition----the urbanity of manners which marked his associations with his fellow men, together with his truly moral worth had procured fro him a high standing in Society. His death is deeply deplored by all with whom he was acquainted. 22 OCT 1844 ------------------------------------------ Executor's Notice Estate of Robert Patton, late of Donegal township, deceased. Letters testamentary, with the will annexed, have this day been granted to the undersigned; notice is therefore hereby given to all persons indebted to said estate to make immediate payment to the subscriber, and those having claims against the said estate wil please present them duly authenticated fro settlement.
