Subject: [PATTERSON-L] What is the origin of the name Paterson, NJ?

I've found that I have a lot of PATTERSON's for ancestors from Scotland
and MA. The other half of the tree were Dutch/Irish who settled in
Paterson, N.J. Who/what was Paterson, N.J. named after?
Nancy Miller Weege, out of (to coin a horse breeding phrase) Millers,
Kerrs, Jacks, Pattersons, Reynolds and (heaven help me no one's ever
heard of them) Vanderboks, from Paterson, NJ.
