           [207]

           ROGER PATERSON, farmer, section i, Grant Township, was born in
        February, 1826, in Scotland, and he is the son of ALEXANDER and
        MARY PATERSON, both of whom were natives of Scotland. They lived in
        that country until the death of the father, in 1827; in 1842 the
        mother came to Canada with her children. She resided there during
        the remainder of her life, her death occurring Oct. 11, 1865.
           MR. PATERSON has been a farmer all his life, with the exception
        of seven seasons, which he passed as a sailor on the lakes, and
        "lumbered" in the woods in winter.  MR. PATERSON put in about 30
        years of lumbering after he left the lakes. He was 14 years of age
        when he accompanied his mother to Canada.  He resided there until
        the spring of 1879, when he came to Tuscola Co., Mich., and during
        the following summer he came to Huron County.  He bought 160 acres
        of land, which is still in his possession.  About 70 acres of his
        estate are under improvement. Politically he is a Democrat.
           MR. PATERSON was married in Ontario, March 10, 1857, to ISABELLA
        LEITCH.  They have eight children ALEXANDER, MARY A., NEIL,
        ISABELLA, JOHN, CATHERINE, BETSEY and PETER.  MRS. PATERSON was
        born Aug. 14, 1834, in Scotland. She and her husband belong to the
        Presbyterian Church.
