Edward Patterson (1882-1954) was born in Hudson to Metevak
(Pierce) (1867-1940) and her husband Ezbon Patterson (1859-1941 abt). Metevak
was the only
surviving child of four born to John Pierce (1828-1886) and Phebe (Weeks)
(1829-1918). Metevak remarried in 1897 to Henry S. Vail and Ed went to live
with his grandmother Phebe in the Indian Ridge area of Cairo. Ed married
Angeline (Austin) (1884-1967) at Leeds in 1902. They had two children Earl
(1908-1974) and Lyle (1911-1959). Ed was a farmer and about 1916/17 their house
on Mill Road (now Rudolph Weir Jr. Road) burned down and they purchased the
Rouse mill and moved into the stucco house that was on the premises. The mill
was near their old house and across from Beers road. This area was all
considered Indian Ridge at the time. His grandmother remained living with them
until she died in 1918. She is buried in the old Weeks Cemetery on Indian Ridge.
Angeline's parents were William H. Austin (1816-1890) and Sarah E. (Eldridge)
(1857-1948). Angeline was born in Greenville Center along with brothers, Sevoria
(1876-1956) and Samuel (1877-1903) and sister Dora (Austin) Schultes
(1881-1943). William H. Austin was a shoemaker and served in the civil war. He
was discharged early because of wounds to the leg and hip and received a pension
for his injuries. Sarah was the 2nd wife of William and he had children with his
other wives. They were: Gould, George, Alzina and Loren.
Earl Patterson married Marion (McKenna)(1913-1998) they had three children: Delores, Maureen, and Patrick. Lyle Patterson married Ethel (Eckler) (1911-1992) they had eight children: Lyle, Donald, Thomas, Sally, William, David, Raymond and Gary.
Samuel Austin married Margaret (Van Hoesen) (1857-1930) in 1897. Margaret was known as Maggie V. and in her will, besides money to friends and relatives, she left Ed Patterson a 225 acre farm and buildings in East Windham at Jennies Notch. The remainder of her money went to the Greene County Memorial Hospital. There is a plaque in the hospital honoring her and two others for their generous bequest. She also donated land in 1896 to Cairo School District #12 and Athens School District #8 to build school houses, just as her father John Van Hoesen did in 1890 for Coxsackie School District #9.
