He joined two of his brothers in Canada almost certainly connected to the mercantile firm of Gillespie, Moffat & Co. In 1830, he built a large stone house at what is now 73 Rue Ste.-Ursule, Quebec. After he returned to Scotland, he sold it to Sir James Stuart. Robert and Grace's eldest son, Robert Paterson (b.1824), succeeded to Birthwood.
