Mary Paterson
MARY PATERSON was born June 2, 1827, at the Kirtlehead home, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. On August 30, 1853, she married Adam Thomson. They planned to come to America immediately but because of the objections of Grandmother Patterson, they postponed the trip, until 1854. Her brother Andrew accompanied them. For voyage and early life in Wheatland see Andrew Patterson account.
Mary died here in 1874 and is buried in Wheatland Cemetery. The children, Mary, Elizabeth and Andrew are also buried here.
They joined the exodus to Cherokee, Iowa, in 1881 and located on a farm in Rock Township seven miles northwest of Cherokee. Jane married Archie Cochrane and lived on the home farm. John and Ben married and lived on adjoining farms. David died in 1883 and Father (Adam) died in July 1890.
