Peterson Daniel

Peterson Daniel was a student in the College at Racow, where he was living at his own expense in 1631. In 1633, he undertook to accompany a noble youth of the name of Lubelski in his travels into Holland; but of his subsequent history no traces appear to be left.

Mention is made of a John Paterson, by the anonymous author of the Epistle containing an account of the life and death of Andrew Wissowatius (p. 256); and Bock supposes, that Paterson is an error of the press for Peterson. But it is more probable, that the individual alluded to was a Scotchman of the name of Paterson, or a person of Scotch descent, of whom there were many at that time naturalized in Poland. John Paterson was an eminent Physician, who, on the expulsion of the Socinians from Poland, in 1660, went to Kasemark, in Hungary, under the protection of Count Stephen Tekeli, whom Andrew Wissowatius visited as an old friend in 1661, and with whom he spent the summer of that year.
