    I'm only guessing that William of Hempfield is the father of this family. Just
    speculative at this point.

    (but I think she's a transient)

    It would seem that Catharine came to Lancaster Burough around 1786, possibly
    after her sister got married, and then attended and was confirmed at Trinity.

  4. 5.  Clemens PATTERSON Descendancy chart to this point (1.William1) was born Abt 1774; died 1805, Hempfield Twp, Lancaster Co, PA.

    Other Events:

    • _UID: 4237E40B85A644CC9965531D315599F8288D

    Notes:

    There's nothing to tie Clement to the other Patterson family at Trinity Lutheran
    (other than proximity and common surname).

    Well, other things to consider - the other Pattersons are at a German Lutheran
    Church. They have German names like "Johannes".

    1) It seems that Anna and Catharine Patterson, and mother, Widow Margaretha,
    are all together at Trinity Lutheran and closely related. Anna seems oldest
    and is the first one in the Trinity Records - 1784. Annamarries an English
    man, Catharine, a German one.

    2) Johannes is there. Hewas married at a different church and doesn't
    want to attend at Trinity. No connections of him to anyone else.

    3) Clement shows up in 1794 at his marriage to a German girl.

    Notes:

    Also, I was looking at your list of surnames and saw the name
    Knisely. I am not descended from the Knisely family, but I am from a
    related family -- I believe. Barbara Knisely (daughter of Samuel
    Knisely of Juniata Co.) married David Holman 5 July 1853. David was
    the son of Conrad Holman who resided in Spring Twp, Perry County and was
    married 3 times. I am suspect that my grandfather Adam Holman (born 26
    Jun 1786 in Coventry Twp, Chester Co., PA) is also a son of Conrad. I
    realize this is a long shot, but do you have any information on this
    family that would prove or disprove my suspicions? I would appreciate
    any help. Denton Loving.

    The actual biography is really about their son, Dr. W. H. J. Holman
