Paterson
PATERSON or PATRICKSON simply means 'son of Patrick', and as such has been a favourite Christian name throughout Scotland
since pre-Reformation times. Surprisingly, in Ireland it only became popular as a forename after 1600, probably due to its
introduction by the Scots settlers in Ulster. As a surname Paterson belongs to no one district, and appears first in old Scottish records
in 1446 when William Patrison and John Patonson appear as witnesses in Aberdeen. By the 16th century a dynasty of Patersons
were landholders in Fife, and of this line Hew Paterson became a writer in Edinburgh before purchasing the Barony of
Bannockburn, near Stirling. His son, also Hugh, became the first Baronet of a line of Jacobite sympathisers who entertained Prince
Charlie following the battle of Falkirk in the '45 Rising. Here the Prince met Clementina Walkinshaw, whose mother was the sister of
the previous Baronet. She followed him to France in 1751 and bore him a child, Charlotte, 'Countess of Albany', but whether or not
they married remains conjecture. William Paterson (1658-1719) was author of the ill-fated Darien Scheme to settle Panama and
was originator of the plan for the Bank of England. Paterson is a Lowland rendering of MacPatrick, a name occurring in bonds of
manrent given by the Maclarens of Balquidder to the Campbells of Glenorchy in the 16th century and it is probably for this reason
that the MacPatricks and Patersons are claimed as a sept of MacLaren. Likewise, some MacPatricks, Patersons, or Patricks, not
related to those of MacLaren stock, are said to have been aliases of Lamonts, descended from Baron MacPatrick, ancestor of the
Lamonts of Cowstone. The former claim that Patersons are also a sept of Clan Farquharson will not stand examination and such is
now largely discredited. Another source of Paterson may also have been MacPhedran or MacFetridge (son of Peter or Patrick), and
reference is made to a 'Clan Pheadirean' (Patersons) whose home was on the north side of Lochfyne, but they are said to be a sept
of the MacAulays of Ardincaple. The MacFatridges in Nova Scotia are equated to Patersons. Those considering themselves
members of the clans MacLaren or Lamont, may wear their tartans and display the relevant crest and motto of the present Chief.
Loyalty must be based on available genealogical or geographical evidence but in the absence of any such definite evidence the
MacLaren connection is the strongest.

Patterson or Patrickson simply means son of Patrick, and it's found all over Scotland. One of Scotland's star rugby players is Chris

But the most famous Paterson must be the Scottish born founder of the Bank of England William Paterson. Yes a Scot founded the
Bank of England! He promoted the disastrous Darien expedition of 1695 which was supposed to establish a port town in Panama
that would bring untold riches to its thousands of investors. Unfortunately the site chosen was pretty inhospitable. A combination of
Spanish hostility and terrible tropical diseases wiped out almost half of the 1200 settlers as well as the vast sums of Scottish money
that funded them.
There are 228,813 Pattersons in the US making it the 7th most popular Scottish name and the 57th most popular American name
overall.
