rpHP: loss of Family ISililes and Records, the death of all the members of the preceding generation known to tlie writer and the dispersion of the different branches of the family m seeking new homes prior to this century, combine to leave only as a tra- dition much of the earlv history of our fanuly.
The withm narrative has been prepared for the benefit of the generation that follow,-, us, and in the hope th.at it may lead to the production of much of tlie detail of the family history, the existence of which is now not known to the
SixiH Gknekation. September, iSgo.
rpHE above referred to sketch was jirivately distributed, and brought to the writer some additional luforniaiion, the most im- portant being a genealogical record of Andrew Patterson and ids descendants, prepared many years since bv Mr. D, Williams Pat- terson, of Newark- Valley, New York, who, though not a descend- ant ot Andrew, had with great care, collected and arranged his record, of which the writer of this paper has availed himself in its preparation. He regrets that it is still so incomplete, because of the many missing details of family succession, particularly since the Fifth Generation, with which, therefore, this papei closes. April, i8()2.
HE iiiipros?ion left upon the mind of the student of the his- tory of the period of Andrew I'atteison'b life in ScoUatid, would appear to tit', th;it lie an<l vei-v uianv with him, knc)wn fometimcs as '" Whigs," and generally as " Covenanters," were aetnated in their conduct as much hy their patriotism as Scotch- men, a rate never coiupiered, as bv their aversion to Episcopacy in their i-eligious views, and while resisting the efforts to force upon them religious forms and practices objectionable to them, they also realized that their national independence was at issue, and f\ught accordingly. There are reasons for believing that all of his name, in his vicinity, were known as ''Covenanters" and Nationalists. Their monuments still e.xist in that vicinity, the best known one being in the churchyard in the old town of Stratlia\en, near Hamilton, reading:
" Here Lyes The Corpses Of William Faterson Aud John Barrie Vho Vas Shot To Death P^or Their Ad- hering To The ^Vord Of God And Our Couenants Anno 16S5.
'' Here lys tuo martyrs seuerally, who fell by Captains Inglels and by bloody Eell. Posterity shall knou theyre shot to death as sacritices uu to popish wrath.''
On its pedestal :
" Renewed by the Reformers of Avoiidale at the pass- ing of the Reform Bill Anno Domini 1S32."
The above named William Patersoii was the son of Rob- ert, who was killed in the tight at Airdsmoss, July 2'2, ICSU.
" He, with thii-teen other=, had been gathered togcthei- for religiou.> exeicises at a place called Charon-l.eugh, upon the Lord'sday. Ten of them escaped, but Pat- erson and the otiier tiiree were taken. The three took the Aljjuratioii ()ath, which Paterson refused, and the soldiers carried him away to Strathaven Cas- tle, where, in thi' atternoon of the same Sabbath, v.dthout trial, lie wa.^ shot hy a Captain Bell."
The date of this occurrence would appear to have been in April, liJSS.
A NDliEW PATTERSON, boru lG59,a native and resident ^ of Haniiltun, a i-Joivmgh of Lanarkshire, Scotland, came to America in December, lt;S.">, and died at Stratford, Connecti- cut, in 1746.
The story uf his expatriation is derived from liistorical sources, whicli give no clue to his previous lifeor surroundings, but it is certain that he was conspicuous as a •' Covenanter " and probable t\at he was in the tight at Bothwell Bridge in 1079. The record is distinct, in that, he suffered with those Scotcli Presbyterians who refused to acknowledge the Sup-i'em- acy <jf the King in matters of religion, to abjure their religious faith, or to waver in their loyalty to ■" Christ's Crown and The Covenant, "•• and was among those whu, escaping the gallows or mutilation, T were banisheil to the Americau plantatioiis in the brief reign of King Jaaies the Second, and shortly after his accession. It is very probable that he was among those wiio underwent the horroi-s of Dunnotter Castle, though the availa- ble records first refer to him by name, as a prisoner conlined in the Tolbooth at Leith, August 17, 10S5.
Intimately connected wi*h the story of his expatriation and final settlement in Xew England, is Mr. George Scot, Laird of Pitlochie, who, frei|uently heavily fined and imprisoned for his attendance at the religious services of his faith, fi-oni liis last. confinement in the Bass petitioned for his release, ofi'erisig in that event, to expatriate himself. This petition, was acted upon April 1, ICSl, and Scot was once more at liberty.

■•■"Those thus marlcid viers among a large number who, on July 31st, were sentenced to have their k-ft cars cut oif by thecomniou executioner on the ensuing 4th of August"
" This lilierty was emplovod by him in preparincr the Model of the (Toveiiuni'iit nf East New Jersey, in America, to which we are indel'ted for a hti'ge portion of the information whicli has come dnwn to us, re- specting the condition of East Jersey at that time, the character of the settlers, and the circumstances which attended their emigration from Scotland. His posi- tion in society, iiis connection with many of the Hr.-t families of the kingdom, and the persecvitions to which he had been subjected, ail teiided to secure for his work much more cunsideration from his countrymen than would have been the case had the author been less distinguished, and when adding example to pre- cept, he announced his intention of embarking with his family for the newly discovered asvlum for the oppressed, it is not surpi'ising th;it many should have associated themselves with him in the undertaking."
The approbation of those in authority was obtained and his
arrangements were made, based upon the following permission:
By the Hight Honorable Earl of Perth, Lord High Chancellour of Scotland, etc.:
These are permitting and allowing ^ilr. George Scot, of Pitlochie, with his lady, children and family, and such other persons as he shall ingage, to pass from this Kingdom, either by sea or land, to any of his Majes- ties P'oreign plantations, providing such persons to be transported by him be not declared Traitors, Rebels, Fugitives, and that without any let, impediment or molestation from any person whate>er, they alwavs behaving themselves peaceably and according to law. Given at Edinburgh, the tirst of Jannary, 1HS5. For all magistrates, otticei's and souldiers within the King- dom of Scotland, whom these do or may concern.
Perth, Caxcell.
Patterson was not includLd in this permission to Scot, and this much s[>ace is given to Scot's history, liecause of the in:^ight it gives of the time and its men, and because of liis direct con- nection with and bearing upon the future of Patterson.
Scot evidentlv desired to found acolonv larirer in numbers
than were purely emigrants, and Fel)riinry 11, li'S5, the Coun- cil authorized b^cot, \<\ warrant, to transport to the plantations one hundred of the prisoners eonlined at Ghisgow, Edinburgh and Stirling, *' if the\- were willing to go."' Of these it wouhi appear that he engaged tifty. August 7th he asked the Coun- cil to transfer to him a large inunber of prisoners who had been banished to Jamaica, but only twelve were granted him. Aug'- gust 17th, 21st an«l I'Sth, cue hundred and live persons who had refused the oath of allegiance to the king, or had been pre- viously banished and were then in the Tolbooth of Leith, were ordered to be delivered to Scot, to be transported to East Jer- sey, on his giving security to land them tliere, as, by a certitieate from the governor or deputy governor, might be made to ap- pear, prior to September, It'iS*), tlie penalty to be tive hundred merks in case of failure in any instance. Patterson was in- cluded in those banished l)y the decree of the Privy Council of August 17, 1GS5, the text of which is as follows:
Forasmuch as the persons underwritten, viz : "'■ - * Andrew Paterson -^ ^> -^ at present prisoners in the Tolbooth at Leith, being convened before the Lords of His Majesty's Privy Council, at the instance of His ^Majesty's advocate, for several crimes and ir- regularities—refusing the Oath of Allegiance, or to own the King's authority, or to take the Oath of Ab- juration, in manner at length libelled, and all the said persons being men. have judicially, in the presence of the Council, refused to take or sifi:n the Oath of Allegiance, and the women above said having alto- gether refused to own His ^[ajesty's authority, or to take the Oath of Abjuration, the Lords of His Majes- ty's Privy Council have banished, and do hereby ban- ish, the hail) forenamed persons, men and women, conform to the Act of Parliament,^'' to His Majesty's
*" It was enacted, on the 8th of May, 1685, that the punishment of death and confiscation of land and goods should be awarde i against those who should preach in a conventicle under a roof, or should attend a conventicle in the open air, eith r as preachei or auditor." — Knight's Hist.

And further ordain the haill forenamed persons, as also the persons underwritten, formerly sentenced to the plantations and now prisoners at the Toll>ooth at Leith, viz : " " to be delivered to ^Ir. George Scot, of Pitloehie, and by him transported to His Majesty's plantations in East New Jersey, in the ship lying in the Road of Leith, now bounding thither." The vessel referred to was the Henry and Friinc'is, of Newcastle, "' a ship uf three hundred and tifty tun and twenty great guns.

III the trepidation of tlie authorities over the rumored ex- pedition of Arijyle from Holland, they bad reiitoved, on the ISth of May, IfiS.^^ all the pri.-oners held for their reli^nons views, to the Castle of Dunnotter, on the N. E. coast of t^eot- land. The story of the sutterings on the march, of that body of men and women, about 200 in number, and of tlie horrors of tlieir imprisonment in the castle dungeons, has been brieflv told by Scott in his introduction to '• Old JMortality," and in his " Tales of a Grandfather," and is fully narrated in " The Mar- tyr Graves of Scotland." Those surviving, who resolutely re- fused to take the oath of allegiance with the acknowledgement of the King's supremjxcy in ecclesiastical matters, were marched back in August to Leith.
WoDRow tells the story from thence onward, and from it
is selected the material features relating to the voyatre and
landing, as follows :
woDROw's nisToTiv, VOL. •!, pp. 505-.567.
Sect. xii. " Plaving in the former section given the ■ history of the sutiVrings ot" these good people who were taken to Dunnotter this summer, I am now to follow a good many of them to America.
11
Argyle'b iava^iou being now over, and no more fears from that Airt, the Councils began to weary of the prisoners at Dunnotter, and brought tlieni b;ick to Leith, as we have seen, where another essay was made to bring them to comply with the impositions now put on people in their circuuistanees, and upon their refusal, they resolved to send good numbers of them to the plantations, and so rid themselves of any more trouble about them. Accordingly, after neai-ly three month's severe treatment at 1 )unnotter, they came to Leith.
"The Council were pleased to come down to Leith, and sit in the Tolbooth there, and "spent some time in the Re-e.\amination of the prisoners. It was but very few complied with their impositions, and they were dismissed. Others, who were very weakly and had some friends to intercede, got off u]>on a Bond of Compearance when called, as Mr. William McMillan, who gave bond as above, under the penalty of tive thousand Merks. The most part of them refusing the oatlis, and to satisfy in other particulars, were perpetually banished to America, and many of tliem gifted to the Laird of Pitlochy, to be carried thither.
" Several of their testimonies and letters they wrote to tlieir friends toward the end of August, are before me, and particularly an original letter from about twenty-eight of them, dated Leith Eoad, August 28, 1685, directed to their friends, too long to b< here insert. In short they signify, 'That now being to leave their owti native and covenanted land by an un- just sentence of banishment, for owiung trutli, and holding by duty, and studving to keep their covenant engagements and baptismal vows, whereby they stand obliged to resist and testify against all that is contrary to the word of <Tod and their covenants, and that their sentence of banishment ran chiefly because they refused the oath of allegiance, which in conscience they would not take, because in so doing they thought they utterly declined the Lord Jesus Christ from hav- ing any power in his own house, and practically would, by taking it, say he was not king and head of
13
his cliurch, and over tlieir consciences, and on the contrary, this was to take and put in his room a inan whose breath is in liis nostrils ; yea. a man that is a sworn enemy to religion, an avowed papist wlioni by our covenants we ire l)Onnd to withstand and disown, and that agreeably to the Scripture, Deut. xyii, 14, 15.' They go .uTto leave their testiuiony against the evils of thelimes. and for the reading of the gu>iiel in the tields and liunies. and sign a-^ follows :

"The prisoners lay some time in tlie Jiuad of Leith be- fore all was ready, and sailed the 5th of Scpteaiber. Informations before me bear that I'itlochy tampered with some of them, particularly James Forsyth, to get money before they saile.l, offering for tive pounds sterling, paid now. to let him at lil>erty as soon as thev came to land. Dut James answered he would five no Monev to carry him out of his n;itive Land, adding, he had done nothing worthy of iianishnient.
" After they had turned the Land End, the Fever began to lage in the ship, especially among such who had been in the great Vault of JJunnotter. Not a few of them were sick when they came aboard, and no won- der, considering the BarbaroLis Treatment they had met with.
" In a Month's Time the Fever turned malignant, and few or none in the ship escaped it, in so much that it was usual to cast over Board Three or Four dead bodies in one Day. Most of the Ship's crew except the Cajttain and Boatswain, died, ritlochie. who iiad freiirhted the ship, with his excellent Lady, died like- wise, and so enjoyed nothing of the Produce of near a liundred Prisoners gifted liim by tlie Council, and near seventy persons died at sea.
"Many were the Disasters of this Voyage. The ship was at the utmost Hazard by the breaking up of a Leak of two several Times. They had se\-eral Calm^ and some pretty severe st<:irms.
" Very uuich for the Advantage of the passengers and Prisoners, the Wind turned straight for New-jersey
t 13
t-
I* and they were forced t<> sail witli it. There thev ar-
i rived al)Out the middle of I)erenil)er, after tliey had
been about Fifteen AVeck;^ at Sea. At their landing I many of them were sick; and Mr. Frazer ol)serves
I that a worthy Gentleman frmn the West of Scotland
I Died among their Hands as they were carrying him
I ashore. The same Person observes, that partly of
such who voluntai-ily otFei'cd themselves to go abroad from the Kingdom of Scoiland, and partly of such who were persecuted by I>anishment. there were u])- wards of nO died at Sea who.-e lilood (adds he) will be found in the Skirts of Enemie.-. as really as if they had died at the Cro^s and Grass-market of Ivlinburgh.
•' Before the Prisoners came ashore, it was once intended by Mr. Johnstoun, to whom Pitlochie had made them over, to stop their getting out of the Ship, till th.cy should all of them, under their Hand, sign a volun- tary Declaration, as it was called, that they ottered Four Years' Service at that Place. Put this they would not yield unto ; yea, a considerable number of them joyned in a Protestation against their Banish- ment, with a large narrative of the Hardsliips they endured during their Voyage, and formerly, for Con- science sake.
" A little way up the Country there was a Town where there was a Minister settled, and the Inhabitants there were very kind to them. When they had Informa- tion of the Prisoners" Circumstances, they invited all who were able to travel, to come and live with them, and sent Horses for such as were not, and entertained them that Winter freely, and with mueh Kindness.
" In the folhjwinL'" Spring Mr. .rohnstoun, upon his Father-in-Law's Gift of the Prisoners, pursued them, and got them all cited before the Court of that Province. After hearing both Sides, the Governor called a dury to .-it and cognosce upon the Aflair. They found that the Pannels had n<>t of their own accord come to that Ship, nor bargained with Pit- lochie for Money or Service, and therefore according to the Laws of the Country, they were assoiled,
14
upon which Ino^t of the Prisoners returned to Xew- cn;^'Kind, where tliey were kindly entertained, and iniploycd according to tlieir ditierent Stations and Ca- pacities.
" A good many of the Passenger^ and Prisoners died in the Plantations, the rest returned to their native Country at tlie lia})py Revolution." (lt>S>;-s9.)

I rpiruS, on die I'^tli of December, 1685 (according to the h ' diarv of liis fellow passenger, Roliert McEvven), Andrew
I Patterson, at 2^ vears of ao;e. landed at Perth Aniliov. They t were received coldly i)y the loyalist residents of that ])lace, and I for a short time enjoyed the hospitality of the people of the I town of (probably j Woodbridge. Patterson and McEwen, I havine: heard in Scotland of the irrcater dci^ree of religious I freedom enjoyed in Connecticut, proceeded there on foot, and I on the ISth of July, It^SO. arrived at and made their future I home in '' ve old Town ot' Stratford."
I Nov. 20, 1691, he bought of Kichard Blackleach sixteen
I acres of land on '• the west si<ie of Stonibrook Hill," and from i that time until 1740 his name often occurs in the Stratford records in the purchase or sale of land.
In the Town records he. as Sergt. Andrew Patterson, is recorded as School Committeeman in 1717. lie and his sons William and John were Town " proprietors,"' and drew their proportion of undivided land. November, 1738. February 19, 1690, at 31 years of age, he married Elizabeth Peet, of Strat- ford (b. Feb. 19, ]669(, a granddaugliter of John Peet, who came from Derby in England in l»''o5. He died at Stratford, and, with a granddaughter and grandson, lies in the old Con- gregational Burying Place, the inscription on his memorial stone reading :
" Here lies ye body of
Mr. Andrew Patterson,
who departed this Life, I )ecember ye 'Jd, Aimo Domni
174H. Aged "^ 7 years."
After his death his wife accompanied her son John to his
new home in Cornwall, Connecticut, where she died in the 96th
year of her age. (1765.)

At the age of nineteen, or two years after griduation, he married Mary, daugh- ter of Captain Josiali and ilary Curtiss, of Stratford, two years his juriior.- In 1740 he was enrolled as

He tiually settled, shortly before the outbreak of the Kevulution, in Piermont, a new- town some sixty miles further north, on the New Hampshire side of the river. Here his wife died, July 1>, 17.^9, in her 7Sth year, and here he himself died Jan. 20, lSO"i,in his 95th year, having been for six years the oldest graduate. He retained in a re- markable degree all his faculties to the day of his death. He was active and regular in his hahits, very fond of gardening, and had chai-ge of a large garden the year before his death. He had ten children born in Stratford."
The land records of Litclitield and Cornwall show that John was of Stratford until Sept. iO, 17")3 ; of Litchtield, June io, 1754, and May -I'K 1755, and of Cornwall, July 27), 1755. He lived at Cornwall Centre, was Town Clerk and Justice, and his residence was where, in ISCO, Air. George Wheaton was living. He removed about 1760 t<> Westminster (now in Ver- mont). From there, Jan. -27, 1771, he, with his sons Isaac and Benjamin, were petitioners to the King, that he would de- clare the New Hampshire grants not to belong to New York.
Dec. 17, 1772, he from there petitions Gov, Tryon, of New York, that the people of Cumberland county might elect a representative to the General Assembly. \V"ith two of his sons he was at Crown Point and took part in the French war.
About 1773 he remr.ved to Piermont (settled in 17'5>^),
New Hampsl'ire. In the Miimtes of the Colonial Council of
Connecticut it is recorded in Alav, 1775 :
" John Patterson, Esquire, of Piermont, of the Prov- ince of New Hampshire, Agent of said Town, pre- ferred a petition in favor of said Piermont, stating
20
itj3 expo.-ed situation to Quebec at that alarminfr pe- riod, auJ e\[>ertiii>: an attack l>y the French and in- di;nk- from Canada; that said Town had voted to sup- ply thcRiselvcs with arms and ammunition, of which tliey were nearly destitute, and hcing without money in the infant state of the Town, prayed the Colony of Connecticut to sell tliem tifty pounds of powder, of- fering their note \ritli security, to be paid in ]May, 17T0, with interest, and signed by John PattersoTi, Agent.
" A resohition was passed directing tlie powder to be delivered, and t. > take said Patterson's note for the same, payable the 1st day of May, 17Tt>, witli in- terest."'
His great-grandson, Ashbel Patt-^rson, of Ithaca, New York, said of him : "'In person, lie was rather below the nnd- dle size of men, had a finely shaped head, blue eyes, an intel- ligent and agreeable countenance, and a very retentive menu'rv. He possessed a great fund of anecdote relatiuir to his colleire life, the history of Stratford, and the Indian, French and Psv- olutionary wars. These were the never-failing themes of win- ter evening entertainments."
His grandson, Isaac Patterson, of Bath, N. H., who lived in the house with him until he was fourteen years of age, said of him : " lie never studied any profession. He was reputed a good scholar and retained his knowledge of the Latin till the close of his life. He retained his powers, mental and physical, in a remarkable degree, until within a few days of his death. His habits were regular and active for his years, and he iiad a great memory."
Mary his wife, died at Pierraont, July IS, 1TS9, aged TS. He died at Piermont, Jan. 20, 1S06, aged 95.
The Connect'icvt Joirnud of Feb. 6, 1S06, said of him :
" Died, at Piermont, X. H., on the -iOch ult., John Patter- son, Esq., cet. 94:, who remarkably retained his mental and bodily
21
j faculties till the day of his death. If correct haliits and a per-
[ severa?iee in all the Christian virtues are of any consequence
I to morals, he has left au example to posterity truly worthy of
I imitation. He graduated at Yale College in the year 1T2S."
