DANIEL PATTERSON, a farmer and stockman of Wheatland Township, was born in 

Dumfriesshire, Scotland, October 13, 1829, a son of John Patterson.  In 1849 he 

crossed the ocean on the ''Hottinger,'' and after a stormy passage of six weeks 

he landed in New York.  Thence he traveled by river and canal to Buffalo, and 

from there via the lakes to Chicago, from which point he drove to Will County.  

For three years he was with his brother, one mile east of his present home.  

Later, with another brother, James, he bought one hundred and twenty acres of 

partly broken land where he now lives.  The improvements on this place have 

been made under his supervision.  At different times land has been added, until 

the two brothers now own four hundred and forty acres. They gave their 

attention principally to the raising of oats and corn, and to the breeding and 

feeding of Durham cattle.  By his marriage to Jane Williamson, a native

of Scotland, Mr. Patterson had ten children, eight of whom attained mature 

years, namely: William, a farmer of Wheatland Township; Margaret, wife of 

George Smith; Robert, John, Mary, Frank, Grace and Laura.
