David Patterson was born circa 1740 at Massachusetts. He was the son of John Patterson and Mary (?) David Patterson married Elenor R--?-- circa 1761 at Worcester Co, Massachusetts.1
It is not yet proved that David Patterson was definitely a son of John Patterson. And while we have baptisms for two of his children found within the Barre church records, this writer feels that he might have been a son of William Patterson who arrived from Ireland with brother John Patterson. A very hard to read marriage intention found within the records of Greenwich, Massachusetts show a David "Paterson" of Rutland District and an Elenor R( ? ) of Greenwich. The date was too difficult to read on microfiche, although it was probably ca 1764-1767 like most of the others surrounding it. Perhaps in the future someone may be able to check the original book. It is also possible that this marriage intention involves the same David Patterson who m. Lydia Brattin 11 Feb 1766 at Palmer, Hampden Co, MA. Should this prove the case, this writer would back a different theory: that David Patterson was a son of William Patterson, and perhaps the only child, since Mary, wf of William Patterson d. 1735 at Palmer. The David Patterson who m. Lydia Brattin was supposedly born 1735. The 1740 birthdate for David Patterson who m. Elenor was only estimated by this writer by his marriage date of c1766 and being about 25 yrs old.2 David Patterson was had filed their marriage intention in November 1761 at Greenwich, Worcester Co, Massachusetts; David Patterson of Rutland District and Elenor Rau of Greenwich.1
