502	John Patterson (1750-1801), a native of Philadelphia, served as a captain in the Second Pennsylvania Regiment of the Continental Line for the entire Revolutionary War from June 1776 until January 1, 1783. Some of the early battles in which he participated included the Invasion of Canada, Ticonderoga, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth. In 1779, he served on Garrison Duty at West Point, and served in the New Jersey Summer Campaign the following year. He fought in the Southern Campaign including Carolina during two last years of the war. Encampments where his regiment wintered included: Morristown, Whitemarsh and Valley Forge.	Patterson, John (I242)
503	John Patterson was born in 1750 in Philadelphia. After the Revolutionary War, John Patterson, who was described as a ?Master shipbuilder from Philadelphia,? established a shipyard in St. Marys, during the 1790s. He built many ships including the U.S. Galley, St. Marys, and The General Oglethorpe, a live oak timbered vessel built for overseas trade. He married Ann whose last name is unknown. John Patterson and another resident of St. Marys from Philadelphia, John Stotesbury, had served as captains in the Pennsylvania Continental Line. John Patterson and John Stotesbury both became original members of The Society of the Cincinnati in 1783, at the end of the Revolutionary War. John Stotesbury, who was buried in an unmarked grave at Oak Grove, lived in a house which is still standing near the waterfront in St. Marys. St. Mary?s prosperity and growth was interrupted several times by epidemics of yellow fever. This gravestone identifies five victims of the 1801 epidemic: Colonel John Patterson, his daughter- Mary Young, her son- Charles Young, and two young relatives, James Batcholer and John Morris. It is believed that all five people were placed together in the Patterson vault, and were buried quickly, with little handling, and with little ceremony. This grave of Colonel John Patterson and his family, dated 1801, is the oldest marked grave in Oak Grove Cemetery. Possibly, he is called ?Colonel? on his gravestone as a matter of respect	Patterson, John (I242)

He was listed as a Revolutionary War soldier living in Camden County, when he drew two lots of land in the 1827 GA Land lottery. He died shortly thereafter, on October 7, 1827, and was assumed to be buried in an unmarked grave in Oak Grove Cemetery. After John Pearce?s death, his wife and most of his children moved in 1832 to Columbia County, Florida (before it became a state), and located near Lake City. When Ann Cain Pearce died in 1850, she was buried in Ebenezer Cemetery in Columbia County.

He died 7 October 1835 (173 years ago) in Tattnall County, Georgia. Jeanette Holland Austin recorded in her book, Deaths of Revolutionary War Soldiers Who Died in Georgia and their Widows, that in Burke County about 1792, John Sharpe married Elizabeth “Betsey” Wynn, six years his senior. She was born in 1755 in Virginia and died 25 October 1835 in Tattnall County, Georgia, just 18 days after the death of her husband. John and Betsey had three children: 1. John Thomas Sharpe, born 1 November 1795 in Burke County, Georgia 2. Susan Elizabeth Sharpe, born 1800 in Burke County, Georgia 3. Hamilton Wynn Sharpe, born 10 April 1807 in Tattnall County, Georgia John Sharpe moved in 1802 with his wife and their first two children to bounty land in Tattnall County that he received for his service in the Revolutionary War. Their third child was born in Tattnall County. John took an active part in the newly formed county and its government. He served two different terms as Sheriff; Justice of the Peace in the 43rd District of Tattnall County 1816-1818; and Major in the 10th Battalion Georgia Militia 1830-1834. As administrator of his father’s estate after 1806, he defended himself in court a number of times. He maintained a tavern of some sort, as several times he was granted license to sell liquor for 12 months. Several different times he was accused in court of wrongful activities. Sometimes he won the case - other times he lost. A death notice for John Sharpe was published in the Milledgeville, Georgia newspaper, The Southern Recorder, issue of 10 November 1835 as follows: “Another Revolutionary Patriot Gone! Died at his residence in Tattnall County on October 7th of bilious fever, Major John Sharpe in his 73rd year. At an early age he took up arms in defense of his country. In all his dealings, honesty and truth were strictly adhered to. He left an aged widow, but not for long as she died on 25th of October following. They had been married over 48 years. They leave behind two sons”. In his book Sketches of By-Gone Days, Mr. Joseph T. Grice lists 44 names of Revolutionary Soldiers who made their homes in Tattnall County soon after its creation. He listed John Sharpe among them. Mr. Grice states of these men, “They made substantial contributions to the development of our county, many of them being large property owners and filling places of responsibility and trust among their fellows. As their service to the Nation contributed to the winning of our war for independence, so did they contribute to the building of a good civilization here, and their descendants in the county today can well point with pride to the activities of their ancestors who came here in the long ago”. On page one of Revolutionary Soldiers in Georgia, Volume III, Mrs. Howard H. McCall pays homage to our Patriot ancestors: “Many years have rolled away since the stirring scenes of the Revolution were acted, but the brilliant events of that period will live on the pages of history. The names of those Revolutionary Soldiers, who espoused the popular cause and threw the whole weight of their power and influence on the side of Liberty, are on the Nation’s Roll of Honor. While the Revolutionary Army of Georgia was small compared to many other Colonies, it was our State, Georgia, which offered land in quantity as an inducement to Revolutionary Soldiers of all the States to settle in Georgia. Truly we can say these Revolutionary Soldiers from Georgia and the other Colonies helped to secure for us our glorious heritage.” Barbara Jo Mills Baker 4th-Gr-Granddaughter of John Sharpe, Jr., R.S.

According to Holcombe family historian Elizabeth Weir McPherson, in her book, The Holcombe’s, Nation Builders, Jordan’s father was killed by Tories and his mother provided aid to the Revolution by furnishing a horse to the noble cause.

This was located in Newberry District at a Tory fort called William’s Fort on the banks of Mud Lick Creek. The company and detachment in which Jordan belonged joined General Picking at “Ninety-Six”.

In all, Jordan served three tours for a total of thirteen months. He was paid 41 pounds by South Carolina for his service.
