In 1813, the family removed to a farm in the area which was separated in 1817 as the Town of Ogden, then in Genesee County, since 1821 in Monroe County.

About three years later he abandoned this and returned to farming instead. He was for decades a Justice of the Peace. He was elected Supervisor of the Town of Parma from 1834 to 1837, in 1851 and in 1853. He was an associate judge of the Monroe County Court from 1844 to 1847. Afterwards he was admitted to the bar, and practiced law in Parma. Paterson joined the Free Soil Party in 1848, and the Republican Party upon its foundation in 1855. He was a member of the New York State Senate from 1856 to 1859, sitting in the 79th, 80th, 81st and 82nd New York State Legislature. Congressman Thomas J. Paterson (1805–1885) was his brother; Congressman John Paterson (1744–1808) and State Senator Caleb Hyde were his grandfathers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John E.
