Paterson is a township in the lower Hunter Region of New South Wales.

James Scanlon is listed in the Chronological register of convicts at Moreton Bay and it was noted that he was 21 years old. That would mean that he was in Moreton Bay by 1830.

It was recorded on 23rd November 1839 that he drove cattle through a flock of sheep at Limestone (Ipswich).
