James Patty, retired farmer, P.O. Little York, is one of the old pioneers and prominent farmers of this township; he was born March 9, 1812. His father, Charles, was a native of South Carolina, born about the year 1788, in what was then called the Columbia District. He was united in marriage with Phoebe, daughter of Enoch and Phoebe Pierson. They came to Ohio and located in Miami County in 1807, and were the parents of nine children, viz: Mary, Rebecca, Enoch, John, Mark, William, Phoebe, Ann and James. The subject of this sketch obtained his education in the common schools, and assisted with the farm duties until he married Mary, daughter of James and Margaret Beck, in 1833. He moved to Shelby County in 1835, and remained there until 1839, after which he moved to this township (Butler) and settled on the place where he now resides. It contained 160 acres, but he has since added thirty-eight acres, situated near the banks of the Stillwater River, making in all 198 acres, of which 150 are under a good state of cultivation. They are the parents of ten children viz: Charles, Nancy, Phoebe, John, George, Martha, Anna, Margaret, Mark and Mary, four of whom are dead.
