Lily Powell Patterson was born in Perryman, Harford County, Maryland, on July 30, 1873, daughter of Olivia Claggett Powell and Frederick Ethelred Patterson.  The Pattersons had been in Perryman since the early eighteenth century. The first Patterson of whom we have record was Robert Patterson, born in 1715.  The Pattersons were active members of St. George's Spesutia Church in Perryman.  Related families included the families of John Hall of Cranberry, Edward Beedle, George Goldsmith, George Little, Joseph Presbury, Luke Raven, William Robinson, Detmorus Sternbergse (Stansbury), and many other early Baltimore and Harford County families.

Robert Patterson and Jane Little (daughter of George Little) were married around 1740--marriage not listed in St. George's church records.  Jane Little was indicted for bastardy in 1738/9 and again in 1739/40.  It seems likely that their daughters Sarah (b. 1739) and Cynthia (b. 1741) were conceived out of wedlock, although their births are listed in the parish registers as children of Robert and Jane Patterson.

Letter from William Alfred Patterson to John Jay

Lily Powell Patterson and Jay Hugh Stier, both residents of Perryman, were married in Ascension Protestant Episcopal Church in Baltimore in 1892.  Ascension Church later sold its land and building at Lafayette Square to St. James Parish which still occupies the same site. A modern look at the church which I believe is the same building where the marriage took place:
