Charles Pattison

Notes:

Charles Pattison was a carpenter residing in Carlisle; original accounts on
file with the Cumberland County Historical Society show that he was paid in
that capacity for work on the Offic Annex which was added to the Cumberland
County Courthouse in 1801-1802. On 11 October, 1794 he was listed as a private
in the Carlisle Light Infantry Company.

On 13 February 1816 Andrew Mateer, Administrator of the Estate of Charles
Pattison, late of Carlisle deceased, reported that the heirs were a widow and
four minor children, Charles, Andrew, George and John Pattison. The personal
property was insufficient to pay the debts; so the real property, several lots
in Carlisle (on on High Street) and a four acre plot elsewhere, were to be sold
in the spring of 1816, but payments on the purchase prices, from Adam Reisinger,
Jacob Crever and William Ramsey continued for some years; the final installment
from Reisinger was dated 19 March 1835.

Some of their family are said to have moved to the vicinity of Bucyrus, Ohio.
This statement appears to be substantiated by the discovery in 1828 of Mary
(Mateer) Pattison's Bible in Dayton, Ohio. In addition to the birth, death and
marriage dates for Mary and Charles, their children are listed with death dates
for Elizabeth and both Johns, as given hereafter; deaths and ages are entered
for Mary's parents, for Aunt Jane Creigh (nee Huston, first wife of John
Creigh), for John and Isabella (Mateer) Creigh, for George Pattison Sr.,
1765-1828, A. Holmes Pattison, 1800-1829, and for Mrs. Jane Godfrey, 1764-1829.
