John Patton Son of Thomas and Rebecca Patton, born April 30th. 1811 Frederic Co., Middleton Valley, Maryland. My father died when I was 4 years old; I was raised by my grandfather, George M. Bittle, married Susan Gaver June 21. 1832. Susan Gaver was the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Gaver; she was born December 24, 1810, in Frederick Co., Middleton Co., Maryland. Her mother was English and Father German. My Father was called Irish but properly was Scotch; I think he was born in America, if not he was quite young when he came here. He served part time in the Revolutionary War, offered his service in the War of 1812, but was rejected. He had Two families; His first family was pretty well grown before he married his second wife. I am next to the youngest of the Second family. My mother's maiden name was Linton -- English folks lived on the Eastern shore of Maryland. Mother was a widow with one Son when she married my Father. Her first man's name was Summers. My Father has been dead 58 years, my mother 21 years. My first marriage was in Frederic Co., Maryland, by a Rev. Jacob Leatherman.
