Patterson, Robert

(1792–1881) soldier; born in County Tyrone, Ireland. Immigrating to the U.S.A. as a boy, he served in the War of 1812 with the Pennsylvania militia and in the Mexican War as a major general of volunteers. He prospered from the sugar industry and cotton mills and was a promoter of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Reactivated as a major general, he commanded Union forces around Harpers Ferry, Va., in 1861 and was criticized for failing to attack the Confederates in his front, leaving them free to reinforce Gen.
