A Chronicle of the American Lineage of the Pattons by C. L.
Patton, Springfield, Illinois: 1954
The history of Pendleton County is virtually a history of the
Dyer and Patton migration. Both families were large and evidently
came into the Shenandoah Valley en masses, from Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania. The earilest records of Augusta County, Virginia,
of which Pendleton was then a part, were in the year 1747. At
this time the Patton and Dyers were well established in the
valley. In 1747 there were but "forty families and two
hundred souls" in Pendleton County. In the first records of
the county, numerous land transactions had been made between
members of the two families. John Hiarr was an English Quaker
residing in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His son, John, Jr.
married Margaret---and had a daughter Margaret who married
William Dyer, Son of Roger Dyer, father-in-law of Matthew Patton.
John Hiatt, Sr. and his son John Jr., were each granted land by
Lord Fairfax, in a part of the Alexander Ross grant. The land
patent book, Volume 17, page 332, Richmond, Virginia shows that,
among the first patents issued to settlers on this land was one
granted to John Hiet (sic), Jr.,November 12, 1734. William Gooch,
Esq., Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, stated "Know ye
that,,,an order of our Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and
councle of our colony and the Dominion of Virginia, bearing the
date the three and twentieth day of April, 1735, granting leave
to Alexander Ross and Morgan Bryan, to survey...1000 acres of
land for each family of seventy families by them bought into our
said colony and settled on the lands in the said order mentioned
and to issue patents for the same. We have given, granted,
confirmed, ect., unto John Hiet (sic), Jr. of the county of
Lancester in the Privince of Pennsylvania, one certain tract of
parcel of land containing 3?0 acres... on the north side of the
Opeckon, above the lowerend of Paul Willian's land."
The Pattons and Dyers evidently grew and propered, each raising a
numerous family and acquiring large acreages of land. From their
first settlement in the region of the present town of Winchester,
they proceded farther south to the heart of Augusta County near
the present town of Staunton and later crossed the mountains to
the beautiful valley of the South Branch of the South Fork of the
Potomac River.
As the childred of the pioneers became of age and assumed the
responsibility of a family, they felt the necessity of further
expansion and a trek up the valley of the Shenadoah began. Some
of the original settlers and many of their offspring sought
residence in the present counties of Rockingham, Rockbridge,
Augusta, Highland and Botetourt in Virginia while others pushed
farther south into Tennessee and North Carolina. After the
Revolutionary War another exodus began into Ohio and Kentucky,
later moving into Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. There was a
difference in the disposition of the Patton Dyers. The Pattons,
apparently, were a resless lot and continually sought new fields,
while the Dyers remained in the valley, in the vicinity of their
first settlement. In the latter part of the eighteenth century
the Pattons had practically disappeared from the valley and were
taking up residence in North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky,
Alabama, Missouri and Illinois. The Dyers, even at the present
time, are a prosperous and a numerous clan in Pendleton County,
West Virginia, and in the counties of Augusta and Rockingham in
Virginia.
The Pattons and the Dyers were close neighbors of the McCormicks,
McDowells, Pickens, Cravens and Hoovers and were intermarried
with the Hawes, Keisters, Davises, Harrisons, Lockridge and
Lincolns. Roger Dyer, the pioneer, was a leader in his community
and acquired large holdings of land. By his will dated February
24, 1757, he left James his homestesd of 620 acres. To Hannah
Keister he bequeathed 427 acres in Hardy County: to his grandson
Roger he left 20 pounds: to his wife andexecutor, a dower intrest
in his estate: to his five sons and daughters, his personal
effects. The testators to his will were William Miller, Adam
Hider and William Gibson.
William Dyer was also a substantial citizen and owned a negro
sevant and nine horses and colts.
The murder of Roger and William and the capture of James and
Sarah by the Indians is the subject of a tragic story described
later
The original Roger Dyer homestead remains in the possession of
his descendants and the Dyers have continued to be among the more
wealthy and successful of the Pendleton farmers.
