Name |
John Patton |
- John came from Killinchy, County Down. Cyclopedia of NZ records about the Canterbury settlement named Killinchy:
KILLINCHY is within about four miles of Doyleston and three of Leeston. It is bounded by Brookside, Leeston, and Dunsandel. Originally the district consisted to some extent of swamp, which has been thoroughly drained, and now yields heavy crops, but the land towards the south, or Upper Killinchy, is of lighter quality. The district has a post office, an Anglican church, a public library and hall, and a public school. Many of the settlers came from County Down, Ireland, and the district is named after a town in the Old Land. Killinchy is a prosperous district, and the settlers cultivate those habits of thrift which generally assure permanency to material wellbeing.
One of John's daughters Martha Patton married William White and lived at Killinchy, Canterbury.
