Biography
"Robert Paterson... was born in 1671, at Castle Cunningham, Ireland, and came to America in 1718, with a large body of people who came in that year. He located first at Portland, Maine, and settled at Saco in 1729. Having found a location to suite him, and now being able, he sent in that year for his wife and three children who had remained in Ireland. The name of the wife has not been preserved, but the children were: John, Grizzle and Robert."[1]
