See first entry, above - From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times dated March 23 1912:
Mrs. JANE RICHARDSON, aged 99, the oldest inmate of the United Presbyterian Home for the Aged, died yesterday in that institution. She had celebrated
her ninety-ninth birthday on the nineteenth of last November. Up to a short
time ago, she had been in the best of health.
Mrs RICHARDSON was born in the Western Reserve, Ohio, in 1812, the year that marked the beginning of the second conflict with Great Britain. Her father,
BENJAMIN WHITE, was killed in the war and when yet a babe, Mrs RICHARDSON
was taken by her mother to Washington county, Pa., where she was reared by an uncle. The deceased lived the greater part of her life in Washington
county and was married to WILLIAM RICHARDSON at that place. After her
husband's death, Mrs RICHARDSON came to this city, having for a short time previously lived in the state of Ohio. For the last 19 years she had been
an inmate of the United Presbyterian Home for the Aged. She leaves two
daughters, Mrs ANNIE GRIGGS of Cambridge, O., Mrs W H FRITZ of Pittsburgh; 10 grandchildren, D H FRITZ of Oakland, Cal., W A FRITZ of East St Louis, J
W FRITZ of Kansas City, Kan., Mrs PHILLIP ROMIG of Uhrichsville, O., and S A

great-grandchildren also survive.

PATTERSON - My Washington county Patterson family (Robert and Mary Ann (Van
Scyoc) Patterson) came to Washington Co., from Adams County, PA in 1780. His
parents had migrated there from Monmouth County, New Jersey at some time
prior to the revolution..
Three of Roberts grandsons migrated to Athens Co., OH around 1832-33. The following exerpt (sic) is from the 1869 History of Athens County, Ohio by Charles
M. Walker.

County, Pennsylvania, in 1832, and settled in Alexander township. Some of their descendants are still living in the county. About the same time a
large emigration from Washington and Greene counties, Pennsylvania, came to
Athens
and settled mostly in Alexander. Among them were Joseph Post, Moses, William
and John Patterson and their families, Jacob and David Cook, Dennis Drake,
Peter Vorhes and family, of whom five sons are living in the county, John
Gray, Elijah Brown and his sons Henry and Jerry, Lawrence Blakeway, Cephas and Zenas De Camp, John Winget, Joseph Barmore, William
