Danforth was born in either Barre or New Braintree, Worcester County, Massachusetts to John Patterson, Jr. and his wife Rebecca. His first name is sometimes written as Danford.
Chloe was born in Barre, Worcester County, the daughter of Moses Smith and Lydia Smith.
Danforth and Chloe filed an intention to marry on 22 Apr 1792 in Barre, and actually did marry on 30 May 1792 in New Braintree. They promptly moved to Franklin County, Vermont, the northwestern corner of the state. Danforth’s younger brother John moved to the same area, probably a few years later. By 1797, Danforth and Chloe moved across the Canadian border to settle at Caldwell Manor in Noyan, Missisquoi County, Quebec. Noyan is directly north of Lake Champlain, although Missisquoi County no longer exists. It became the Brome-Missisquoi Regional County Municipality in the early 1990s.
The 1825 census listed “Danford Paterson” at St. Georges, Bedford, which is several miles east of Noyan. The 1831 census listed “Danefort Patterson”, farmer, in Noyan.
In 1830, Danforth donated land to the town of Noyan to build a school and church. He died in 1832. He’s buried in St. George’s Anglican Cemetery, Clarenceville, Monteregie Region, Quebec. Chloe died four years later. She’s probably buried with Danforth, but without a marker.
Frederick married Nancy May (1793-8 May 1875). He appeared as a farmer in the 1831 and 1842 censuses for Noyan, Missisquoi County. Can’t find him after that, but he had six children. Names:
Reuben (11 Dec 1817-21 Sep 1893) — m. Elizabeth Phillips on 27 Dec 1842
Lydia (20 Jul 1819-27 Mar 1903) — m. William Stewart Young on 25 Jan 1838
Hollis (30 Nov 1821-21 Mar 1894) — m. Mary Smart
James (21 Feb 1823-15 Jun 1874) — m. Ann C. Smart
Matilda Jane (7 May 1826-21 Jan 1908) — did not m. George Owen Connolly; m. Timothy Thompson on 26 Oct 1848
Lucinda (26 Feb 1828-18 Feb 1908) — m. Ira Flagg Fadden on 31 Dec 1846
Frederick died in 1870 in Clarenceville. Don’t know where he’s buried.
Hiram has his own entry in the family tree.
Candace married Jacob Derrick (2 Aug 1784-18 Jun 1875) in 1816. They settled in St. Thomas or St. Georges de Clarenceville, Rouville County, Quebec and had eight children:

Margaret (22 Mar 1836-10 Sep 1843)
Candace died in 1874 in Clarenceville, Quebec. Don’t know where she’s buried.
Can’t track James. Too common a name. Don’t remember where I saw a date of death for him. Familysearch.org has him as the James Patterson (1800-1873) who died in Miami County, Ohio, but that man told every census he was born in Ohio, so, no.
Laura married Thomas Wheeler Gray (14 Dec 1793-8 Oct 1863) from New Hampshire by 1821. They lived in Bombay, Franklin County, New York. Their children:
Jane (29 Oct 1822-????)

Candace (15 Nov 1827-9 Feb 1899)
Nelson Wheeler (13 Sep 1829-????)
Sarah Delia (10 Feb 1832-????)
Maranda (22 Jul 1834-11 Feb 1837)
Hubbard H. (15 May 1837-????)
The 1840 census for Bombay, Franklin County listed the household of Thomas W. Gray as a man in his forties, a woman in her thirties, a boy and girl age 15-19, a boy and girl age 10-14, a girl age 5-9, and a boy under 5. Laura reportedly died in 1841. Her burial location is unknown.
Thomas remarried to Rachel DeGroot (1804-1876) and moved to Illinois. He and Rachel had three more children. He died in 1863.

Margaret died in 1843 and is buried in St. George’s Anglican Cemetery, the same place as her father. Enoch married in 1843 to Emily Caroline Tryon (1826-1912), and they had eight more children. Enoch died in 1869, and is buried in Brown’s Hill Cemetery, Ayer’s Cliff, Estrie Region, Quebec. Daughter Emaline was later buried in the same place.
