"As most of the information concerning Josiah Patchin is to be found in the pension record of his widow Eunice, it is herewith quoted:

Walter Whitney of Albany, aged 83, a pensioner, resided in Fairfield and entered the war there. Knew Josiah Patchin intimately, -- "a small man rather below the ordinary size, but active and intelligent." He was also a soldier. They both enlisted in the Spring of 1779 for nine mos. in the same Co., and were on guard at Black Rock under Capt. Stephen Thorpe (he thinks) and Lt. Jarvis. Were discharged at the commencement of the so-called "hard winter" in Conn., when Long Island Sound was frozen over (thinks 1779). Knew Eunice Parrot and attended the wedding performed by Rev. Mr. Johnson. The date of the marriage is fixed in his mind as he was then engaged to Miss Anna Wells to whom he was to be married the next Spring. She was also at the wedding. Their marriage took place 21 April 1784.
17 Nov. 1843. Charles T. Prentice of Weston, aged 39, a clergyman of North Fairfield Parish, does not find records of marriages during the war, nor for any years thereafter.
James Johnson of Weston, aged 69, son of Rev. James Johnson, dec'd., deposed concerning the marriage. Remembered the wedding for several reasons, one being "the oddity of the parties which created a good deal of laughter and the like of which I shall never forget.": Was about eight or nine years of age at the time. They went to housekeeping and lived for some time within a hundred rods of my father's house.
Comptrollers' records show among recruits "Josiah Patchin" in 1781. Also in settlements, Josiah Patchin, private 9 July 1781.
14 July, 1849, Eunice Keator, aged 85 ("does not write her name for want of education"). Keator was also a Revolutionary soldier in Roxbury, N.Y.
Mrs. A.S. Rutherford, of Roxbury, N.Y., in a letter in 1911, states the death of Eunice as 4 Aug. 1853.
