From Andrew Patterson of Stratford, Conn byElisha G. Patterson, 1892
"He lived at Cornwall probably until his father moved to Westminster, VT. His
deed of his Cornwall land to his brother Matthew is dated March 9, 1769. He
moved to Piermont, and probably in advance of his father's settlement there.
July 24, 1777, he was appointed an Ensign in Capt. Jeremiah Post's company, in
Col. David Hobart's regiment, Stark's brigade, and was engaged in the battle of
Bennington, Aug. 16, 1777. Capt. Post died Aug. 26th, and Lieut. Jabez Vaughn
was made Captain, and Ensign Patterson promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. He
was discharged Sept. 2nd, 1777, and in the following year, 1778, he was 2nd
Lieut. in Capt. Ezekiel Ladd's (Haverhill, N. H.) company, in Col. Timothy
Bedell's Regiment, and served at that time, one year. He bought land at
Wethersfield, Conn., of Stephen Chester, April 22, 1783, which was probably
about the date of removal to that place. He and his wife joined the church at
Newington (Wethersfield) from the church at Piermont, Feb. 20, 1785. He sold his
land in Wethesfield to James Lusk, July 3, 1786. He was a purchaser of land in
Stephentown, Rensselaer county, N. Y. in February, 1790. He was one of the
original purchaser, at Painted Post, N.Y. of part of the "Phelps & Gorham
Purchase," and settled there about 1790, with his sons Ichabod and Stephen, with
their families. The purchase resulted in litigation (which had not been
determined in February, 1824) and he returned to New Lebanon, about 1793 or 4,
where his wife died, March, 1801. He died there May 3, 1809."
His younger brother, Benjamin Patterson, served under him in the Revolution. See page for Benjamin Patterson.
