Birth*September 1749 Mary Ann Van Scyoc was born in September 1749 Her is name from "Our Kith & Kin" at Citizens Library Wash PA by J F Woodrow & Lorena Burke (1948) pgs 270-271. That references work by "Mary Elizabeth Patterson Grimes and her sister-in-law Fannie Grimes Sitherwood". This is important in tracking down the source of Mary Ann's surname. I found a book by Frances Sitherwood ("Fannie") written in 1929 that is the farthest back in time so far. Where she gives the information on her sister-in-law, she says that Mary Elizabeth ("Lizzie") is the daughter of Amos, who is son of John who is son of Robert who "m. 1772, Mary Ann Scyoc". That is the sum total of the info on Mary Ann Scyoc. She also mentions that after Lizzie's marriage they established a home with "her aged father". Lizzie is living with her father in the 1900 census just before her marriage and he is 83 at that time. It is very conceivable that her father new the name of his grandmother. Regarding her birth date, nothing is said in the Graham-Grimes book about her birth. Our Kith & Kin says "Some authorities give her birth the same as her husbands's, Sept. 1749. This is evidently the correct date for the birth of one of them, but which we cannot say."1 
Marriage*1772 She married Robert Patterson Sr, son of Amos Patterson and (__________) (__________), in 1772 at York Co., Pennsylvania.1
