His executors were Sarah Patton and John Blair Smith.

He signed the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Wheeler's Reminiscences of North Carolina states: "Benjamin Patton, another signer, was a man of firmness and indomitable courage. Descended from the stern Covenanters, he had their flexibility of purpose and their purity of principles. He was elected to the Provincial Congress in 1774, a stirring epoch in the history of the state, for it was already in contempt of the Royal Power in North Carolina....Tradition states that such was his zeal that when he could not get a horse or any conveyance he walked from Charlotte to Newbern rather than not join those patriots determined upon liberty or death. He lived in that part of Meclenburg which is now Cabarrus County. He was a member of the Committee of Safety for this section with full powers. The committee held its meetings in the "Red Mill" on the Salisbury road and it was truly a terror to evildoers but a defense to those who did will. He died near concord in 1802 on the banks of "Irish Buffalo Creek". He is buried in an unmarked grave in his family graveyard, just outside of Concord.

James sailed in one of his father's ships, the "Walpole." This ship is said to have made 20 or more passages to the states. He carried Ulster immigrants to America and returned with furs, skins and tobacco. In one of the passages in 1738, James and his wife Mary, and his two daughters, Margaret and Mary, along with John Preston, his wife Elizabeth Patton Preston, their children Letitia, about 10 years old, Margaret, about 8, William, about 7, and Mary Preston, about 6, along with John Preston's sister, Mary Preston, who later married Phillip Barger, and supposedly another of John's sisters, Jane Preston Breckinridge and her husband, Alexander Breckinridge, arrived in Belhaven, near Alexandria on the Potomac on August 26, 1738. One of James Patton's settlements was known as "Drapers Meadows," located at the present site of Blacksburg, Virginia. One sunny Sunday morning on July 8, 1755, Indians wiped out much of the settlement including James Patton. James and his wife Mary Borden had two daughters and no sons. He adopted (officially or unofficially?) William Preston, son of John Preston. Margaret "Peggy" Patton married John Buchanan. John's sister, Martha Buchanan married a cousin newly arrived in America, another John Buchanan. His other sister, Margaret Buchanan, married Maj. Charles Campbell, parents of Gen. William Campbell. Mary "Molly" patton (1728-1778) married capt. William Thompson. They had 10 Children.

James served in the Navy in Queen Anne's War. After the Treaty of Utrecht, he procured a passenger ship and traded to the Colony of Virginia at Robbs Hole on the Tappahannock. He penetrated the then wilderness of the state as far as Orange County, thence across the Blue Ridge and commenced a settlement near Waynesborough in Augusta County. He crossed the Atlantic 23 or 25 times as Master of a ship in and around 1728. In his private shipping enterprises, Capt. James Patton made contracts with promotors of the settlement of the western part of Virginia. He sailed on the ship Walpole to Virginia, arriving August 26, 1738. His first residence was Beverly Manor on the south fork of the Shenendoah. From his headquarters there, Adventurer Patton soon extended his interest to the management of the Roanoke & James River Grant of 1740 and the Woods River Grant of 1745.

After the organization of Augusta County, Patton became county lieutenant, justice, sheriff, burgess and general leader in county affairs. He was an alert, energetic businessman imbued with a definite purpose and equipped with enough education and intellect to be a successful community leader.

While tending to affairs of the community, Colonel James Patton was killed by Indians in July 1755 at Drapers Meadow.

From "Early Adventures On the Wesstern Waters" by Mary B. Kegley and F. B.Kegley:

James Patton Sees An Opening. It would be interesting to know how much James Patton and his brother-in-law, John Preston, knew about opportunities for the acquisition of land in the region of western Virginia before they decided to leave Ireland and take their chances on the Virginia frontier. An historian of the Patton family has said that the Pattons were an outstanding family of Scottish origin, a number of members of which in different generations served with distinction in the Royal Navy, in the British Army, and in civil offices. The progenitor of the family in Ireland was William Patton, rector of several parishes in County Donegal. The father of James Patton was Henry Patton, a grandson of William. His mother was Sarah Lynn of a prominent English family seated in Donegal County, Ulster, Ireland. James, the fourth son of Henry and Sarah, was born in 1692 and married a Ms. Osborne; a sister, Elizabeth, married John Preston, a ship's carpenter. James served in the Navy, taking part in Queen Anne's War. He appears to have crossed the Atlantic as master of a ship only once in 1738 (Wilson, Tinkling Spring, p. 22). About this time economic opportunities in Scotland and Ireland were not encouraging, so many Scotch-Irish families were looking toward America for a better field to cultivate. The Pattons and the Prestons became a part of this gret exodus of the 1730's and 1740's. The Patton home place in Ireland was the Manor of Springfield, Barony of Kilmacrenan, County of Donegal, Province of Ulster. Later in Virginia the names Springfield and Kilmacrenan remained associated with the family.

In his private shipping enterprises, Captain Jame Patton had made some contacts with the promoters of the settlement of the western part of Virginia. There is no record that he made frequent trips to the coastal towns carrying indentured servants to Virginia shores, but as early as 1737 he had some acquaintance with William Beverley and considered joining in the acquisition of a grant to be located on the Calfpasture River. With these arrangements completed, the ship Walpole, owned by Walter Lutwidge, was chartered to bring the Patton and Preston families with fifty-six others, including personal and indentured servants, sixty-five in all, to Virginia. They arrived at Hobb's Hole (Tappahannock) August 26, 1738. Once here the first land Patton owned was in the Calfpasture grant; but his and Preston's first residences were in Beverley Manor on the south fork of the Shenandoah. From his headquarters there, Adventurer Patton soon extended his interest to the management of the Roanoke and James River grant of 1740, and the Wood's River grant of 1745.

Since John Preston had not been a landowner in Ireland, he was willing to take chances with his brother-in-law in at least acquiring a homestead in the New World. In proving his importation into the colony of Virginia, he said that he had come to America at his own charge "in order to partake of his Majesty's bounty for taking up land." He made this declaration in 1746 and died in 1747. He was satisfied with only a few tracts of land for which titles were later made to his son, William. His home was on Lewis Creek near Beverley's Mill Place. The family consisted of his wife, Elizabeth, his son, William, and his daughters, Mary, Lettice, Margaret, and Ann.

James Patton was more ambitious. He had in mind acquiring as much as 30,000 acres in his own name. In the first surveys made for him in 1738, he was designated as captain. Following the settlement of Borden's grant, a number of tracts were entered in the Forks of the James and on the Catawba, a south branch of the James some distance away. These scattered settlements were made prior to 1740 when the Virginia Council granted permission to John Smith, Zachary Lewis, and others for surveys totalling 100,000 acres (with no specific boundaries) on "River and Branches of the Roanoke and the Branches of the James River" (Virginia Executive Journals, V, 173). As a result of purchasing shares of all partners (except John Smith and Zachary Lewis), James Patton became the controlling agent of this company, all patents issuing in his name and all land being transferred by him by deed to the people who bought the land.

The surveys and plats for the first grants in this territory were not preserved in the Orange County records and no trace of them has been found in the Secretary's office. However, it is from the Augusta County surveys, deeds, and grants that the account of the early western settlement can be carried forward. For further details, see Kegley's Virginia Frontier, pp. 60-62.

After the organization of Augusta County, Patton became county lieutenant, justice, sheriff, burgess, and general leader in county affairs. He was an alert, energetic businessman imbued with a definite purpose and equipped with enough education and intellect to be a successful community leader. His first interest was to secure the land he wanted; his first action was to select choice tracts while they were still available. The terms of the Wood's River grant allowed him the privilege he wanted -- to select small or large tracts, in any shape, anywhere in the region covered. His scheme was a good example of competitive private enterprise, and although there were groups of family relatives settling in contiguous valleys, there was no suggestion of a socialistic colony.

It was unfortunate that western Virginians lost their first prominent early adventurer soon after the beginning of the settlement. While tending to affairs of the community, Colonel James Patton was killed by the Indians in July 1755 at Draper's Meadow. For further details of his life, see Johnson, James Patton and the Appalachian Colonists.

"Memoirs of Mrs. Letitia Floyds": James Patton was bred to the sea and in the wars of England with the low countries served as an officer in the royal navy. After the treaty of Utrecht he procured a passanger ship and traded to the Colony of Virginia at Robbs Hole, on the Tappahannock. He penetrated the then wilderness of the state as far as Orange Co., thence across the Blud Ridge and commenced a settlement there near Waynesborough in Augusta County. 12

The second Henry appears to be the one who was active in the local militia. In 1774 he was an ensign and was paid for 47 days service as leader of a detachment of soldiers. He also served 37 days under Saptain James Robertson (Kegley, Soldiers, pp 38, 42). The names of the men who served in his detachment were: William McGee, Thomas Carte, Abraham Fielder, Richard Hinds, Joseph Blackmore, Edward Blackmore, William Carr, William Leason, Jr. Blackmore, Thomas Patton, Vincent Hobbs, William Boydstone, Israel Harman, Adam Wygall, Lawrence Waggoner, John Smith, Michael Glumph, Jr. Totten, Comfort Bluster, Thomas Cecil, Jeremiah Whitten, Thomas Shannon and Thomas Pickens (original record in the Auditor's Accounts, Virginia Stte Library Archives).

Henry Patton's military career continued over the years. He was recommended as a second lieutenant in Captain Cloyd's Company in 1778, was a captain from 1779 to 1786, a major in 1787, and a lieutenant colonel in 1790. A list of the men of his company on March 24, 1781 accompanies this sketch. These were men of the neighborhood between the ages of eighteen and fifty. In 1785 Henry Patton claimed pay for patrolling for 25 days, and requested pay for thirty diets (Summers, Annals, pp 685, 722, 805, 806, 813, 828, 831; list from Kegley, Militia of Montgomery County, p. 36, from original records at Montgomery County Courthouse.)

In 1779 Henry Patton was recommended for the position of justice of the peace and in 1782 took the oath as justice of the peace in Chancery and Oyer and Terminer. In 1782 he was taxed on one slave, fourteen houses and twenty-four cattle, in addition to his land. The Henry Patton who became sheriff in 1793 appears to be the same Henry who served in the militia (Summers, Annals, pp. 733, 760, 773, 836; Kegley, Tax Lis, p. 25).

Henry's wife was Martha Randolph. In 1802 they made a deed of gift to Isaac Patton for lands on Thorn Spring, ajoining the Williamsons who were located in the southern part of the Springfield tract. It is assumed that Isaac Patton was their son, because of the gift of land. Isaac sold off these lands to Gordon Cloyd, John Caddall and James Crain. Isaac Patton served as ensign and captain in the militia, and was sworn in as deputy sheriff in 1793 (Summers, Annals, pp. 837, 842, 846, 864, Montgomery County Deed Boopks C, p. 550; D, p. 416; E, pp 394, 598).

In another deed of gift Henry and wife Martha Patton gave parts of the 840 acres where they then lived to William McDowell, who with his wife Polly then sold to William Muirhead whose land it adjoined. William McDowell of Greenbrier County had married Polly, the daughter of Henry Patton in 1798. Matilda, another daughter of Henry and Martha, married Joseph Davidson and moved to Mercer County, Virgijia (now West Virginia). In 1806 Henry and Marth Patton sold land to Joseph Davison and also to another son-in-law, William George, who had married their daughter Jennet or Jenny (Montgomery County Deed Books, C, p. 611; E, pp 470, 583; K, p. 457; Tazewell County Deed Book 1, p. 248; Tazewell County records as found in Schreiner Yantis, Archives of Tazewell County, pp. 64, 214, among others.)

Other lands taken up by this Henry Patton were sold in 1812 to Gordon, Thomas, and David Cloyd, being 1,000 acres on the south side of the New River, and in 1824 when Henry and Martha Patton were living in Tazewell County, they sold a small tract of 6 acres on Thorn Spring (present Pulaski County), to Henry Patton, Jr. and a tract of 166 acres to Sebastian Sygle (Montgomery County Deed Books F, p. 190, H, pp 539, 625).

In summary, it appears that Henry Patton, the soldier of the Revolution and the husband of Martha Randolph, was the father of Isaac, Mary or Polly who married William McDowell in 1798, Matilda who married Joseph Davidson in 1789, and Jennet/Jenny who married William George in 1792. There may have been other children. (Montgomery County Marriage Records; family records of descendants of William George).

It has not been learned just where Henry and his wife Martha Patton died. Henry left no will in Tazewell County.
