Notes for Elizabeth Ann Batterson, ---- - ----
Jason Gervase states:
"My own grandmother, Betsey Ann Batterson, seems to have been outstanding. By all accounts she was the midwife of our whole community, maintained the home while William Henry was in the Civil War, raising 13 children, singing in the church choir, and on the trot always in her ceaseless errands of mercy and good neighborliness." [per grandson Elmer Mills of New York City - 1964]
Notes for Isaac Hutinac Patchen, 7 Jun 1793 - 7 Jun 1859
Web site states:
After the war, his father assumed his mother's family name, and was thereafter known as Stephen F. Patchen. In 1799, his father, with wife and three children, then residing in Massachusetts, settled on the island of North Hero, Vermont, and here the subject of our sketch then about six years of age, grew to manhood, enduring the extreme privations and hardships of a pioneer life, and with extremely meager educational advantages, but he had within him the elements of success which overcame all obstacles and in after years placed him among the foremost physicians in the Champlain Valley.
His father having given him his time, in May 1813, he engaged board at Mr. Haynes, and became a medical student under Dr. Josiah Lane, on North Island, who required the then munificent tuition fee of 50 cents per month. In the meantime, he worked for Mr. Haynes on the farm to help defray expenses. He kept a careful diary, from which we extract the following:
'July 29, 1813, worked for Mr. Haynes 'till about 3 o'clock, when news came that the British were landing at Point Au Roche. I left the field and went to take a view of them from Haynes' Hill on the west side o the island. While I was there, orders came for the militia, to assemble forthwith for the purpose of repelling invasion, and I was called out among the rest. We reported to J.P. Ladd's where we were kept for three days under arms.'
The militia were dismissed on Sunday, August 1, and he returned to Mr.Haynes, where on Monday morning he again commenced work, but he and Mr. Haynes were soon called from the field by the news that theBritish were moving on Swanton. Haynes and he started for the north end of the island, but soon met Lieut. S. Robinson, of the 30th Regiment, U.S. Inf., who sent Haynes with a message to General Hampton at Burlington. Isaac, with others, continued on to the north end of the Island, where they saw the British land at Swanton and burn the barracks at that place.
In 1814, Patchen taught school at the then popular center, BeckwithStreet, Schulyer Falls. One of his most intimate associates was JosiahWilcox, a Methodist minister, and one of the pioneers in that section of the town of Plattsburg, now Schulyer Falls. Wilcox belonged to the order of 'fighting parsons', and was a member of a company of LightHorse Militia. On the morning of September 11, 1814, Wilcox, while on his way to Plattsburg to report to his company, fell in with the school teacher and invited him to go with him, as a battle was imminent. Young Patchen accepted the invitation, and they arrived at Salmon River at about the same time as the detachment of the British, which had forced their passage of the Saranac river at the upper ford,and had reached the edge of the clearing on the north side of the little village. At the village were quite a number of the militia from Essex County and from Vermont, who were on their way to Plattsburg. There was also one piece of light artillery which was being used to check the advance of the British, who were soon on the retreat. A call was made for volunteers to pursue the retreating force. Young Patchen and Wilcox volunteered, and with others, pursued and participated in the capture of over a score of the enemy. For this day's service in battle, Patchen was long afterward granted a land warrant of 160 acresof land.
His medical studies continued until October 1, 1817, his fellow students being Dr. Thomas Haynes, and the latter part of his studies were under Dr. Melvin Barnes. Dr. Thomas Haynes, here referred to, was the father of the well known physician, Dr. Samuel Haynes of Saranac. Drs. Haynes and Patchen were boys together, and on intimate relations all through life. On October 1st, Dr. Patchen was admitted as a member of the Grand Isle Medical Society.
Soon after 1817, he located and commenced practice at West Plattsburg,and in 1820 married Miss Abigail Hilliard, of that place.
October 20, 1824, he became a member of the Clinton County medicalSociety, and on the 29th of April 1831, he was duly commissioned by Governor Throop as Surgeon of the 15th Reg't., N.Y. Cavalry, and in1844, the medical college of Castleton, Vermont, conferred upon him the honory Degree of medicine.
Dr. Patchen was very skilled as a physician and surgeon, and the following is related among his remarkable operations: Bromley was a small child on whom an operation in tracheotomy had been unsuccessfully attempted for the removal of a bean from the windpipe by a brother physician, and which resulted in great loss of blood by the cutting of a blood vessel, and the child was apparently dead as far as external appearances indicated. The following is the doctor's account of his procedure after his brother physician had ceased his operation:
'My immediate object being to resuscitate the child not to extract the bean, I commenced my incision near the inferior of the thryoid cartilage, and carried it down to the cricod. I then slit the crico-thyroid membrane from the base of the thyroid to the superior margin of the cricoid cartilage, I introduced a large elastic gum catheter through the orfice of the wound into the larynx, and inflated thelungs. I carried on artificial respiration, accompanied by the use of volatiles and friction, until the lungs had been inflated fifteen or twenty times before there were any signs of returning life. I then observed motion, which encouraged me to persevere in the measures mentioned. Shortly a gasp, or slight catch for breath, which gradually grew stronger, until he was able to respire without assistance, which was about one hour.' That child recovered, grew to manhood, and died a few years ago near Plattsburg, where his widow and some of his children now reside.
Dr. Patchen's practice in those pioneer days was extensive, with long rides over rough roads, all along the valley of the Saranac and in Peru and Ausable. He was very sympathetic in his nature, which made him a poor collector. His ire would sometimes be aroused against someone of his non-paying patrons, whom the doctor thought could have easily paid his bill, and the doctor would remark: 'If Mr. ____ calls for my services again he will not get them, no matter how urgent the case may be,' but it was always noted that when he called, his services were as cheerfully rendered, as though he was one of his best paying customers! (A familiar characteristic of the Patchens).
His generous and sympathetic nature always responded to the appeals of the needy and distressed, and the 'Exile of Erin,' and the 'PatriotCanadian,' alike found a shelter and a home beneath his roof, and not one known to be deserving ever appealed to him in vain. He was public spirited, and always contributed liberally towards enterprises for educational and religious purposes; was active and untiring in his efforts to secure better educational facilities for the community in which he resided.
It was through his exertions, that Alexander Prescott and Bela Edgerton opened their academic school in West Plattsburg in the M.E.church on Beckwith Street. He was also one of the most zealous workers for the West Plattsburg High School, which flourished for some years under H.C. Foote, G.A. Miller, C.G. Webster and M. Buckham (now President Buckham), as teachers.
He held the following important civil offices: Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Clinton County; Commissioner of Deeds; Inspector of Common Schools; Supervisor and Postmaster at Schulyer Falls.
He died at Schuyler Falls on the 7th day of June, 1859. At a meeting of the Clinton Co. Medical Society, held the following day, suitable resolutions were adopted, signed by Dr. Benjamin Moores, T. DeForris and I.P. Foote, Com. In his annual address June 6, 1860, Dr. F.J.D'Avignon, President of the Clinton Co. Medical Society, paid a warm tribute to his memory." Sketch from the Plattsburg Sentinel, 15 APR1892.
Notes for Melvin Barnes Patchin, 1 Sep 1824 - 26 Sep 1892
Web site states:
Mr. Melvin B. Patchin received a common school and academic education in his home town; began the study of law with Gardner Stone, in Keeseville, NY; removed in AUG 1844, to Troy, NY. He studied in the offices of Stowe and Millard, and of Swetland and Nutting, of Plattsburg; was admitted to the bar at the general term of the supreme court of New York, held at Canton, St. Lawrence Co., in SEP 1852.
Practiced his profession, and did clerking, surveying, etc., at Saranac until 1857, when he came to Fremont, Waupaca Co., WI. Here he plotted Springer and Russell's addition to Fremont, settled down and began legal practice in what was then the WI wilderness. At that day Fremont seemed destined to become quite a town, which encouraged Mr.Patchin to make investments and arrangements for a permanent home there. In DEC 1858, his wife met with a fatal accident by being thrown from a sleigh, although she lived a few months. In the fall of that year, Mr. Patchin was elected by Democrats to the WI Assembly. At the outbreak of secession's thunders in 1861, M.B. Patchin and Capt. Redfield began raising volunteers. The unfairness of the military authorities kept their company from due recognition, but it was finally mustered into the service in SEP 1861, as Company A, 8th WVI. (the Eagle Regiment). He held the First Lieutenant's Commission, and with his regiment participated in the battles of Fredericton, 21 OCT1861; the expedition to Indian Ford; the sieges of Island No. 10 and New Madrid; siege of Corinth, battle of Farmington, and went into camp at New Clear Creek. Lieut. Patchin was in charge of the entire transportation of supplies, when the Union Forces left New Madrid.
His health failing, he went into the hospital at Luka, MS, 12 SEP 1862. During the winter of 1863, he was postmaster of the State Assembly. Resided in Fremont until AUG 1864, when he went to Little Rock, AR, where he was in Government service until MAR 1865, when he returned to Fremont, where he remained until 1871, when he went to New London, WI.
The firm of Patchin and Weed, formed in MAY 1872, was dissolved by mutual consent 13 APR 1881. Mr. Patchin was both Village and City Attorney in New London, WI.

ANDREW T. PATCHEN, D. D. S.
This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin"
by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.441-442.
Dr. Andrew J. Patchen, the first dentist to locate permanently in Manitowoc, where he practiced for almost a third of a century, held to high ideals in his profession and strove consistently to reach the highest point of perfection possible. He was born in Hornby. Steuben county, New York, December 24, 1830, his parents being George and Phoebe (Rockwell) Patchen.
His education was acquired in the public schools and ere he had attained his majority he was married, thus starting upon life's journey with one with whom he long traveled happily, theirs being largely an ideal marriage relation. He wedded Miss Nancy M. Kellogg on the 16th of June, 1849. She was born at Cornwall, Litchfield county, Connecticut, March 13, 1831, and was only four years of age when in 1835 her father, Dr. James H. Kellogg, removed to Steuben county, New York, where she was given superior educational advantages for that day, enabling her to successfully pass a teachers? examination at the early age of twelve years. Of course she was too young to enter actively upon the work of the profession at that time but when fifteen years of age she took charge of a school. She was in her eighteenth year when she gave her hand in marriage to Andrew J. Patchen, the wedding being celebrated at Monterey, Schuyler county, New York. In the same year they started westward accompanied by Mrs. Patchen?s people, making the journey by boat around the Great Lakes to Wisconsin. In due time they landed at Sheyboygan Falls, where they remained for a brief period and thence went to Brothertown, from which place they went to Fond du Lac. Dr. Patchen was identified with the business interests of that place until after the outbreak of the Civil war, when he enlisted, on the 10th of May, 1861, as a member of Company I, Fifth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He was with the army in Virginia and because of his capability and valor won promotion, being made orderly sergeant. He served with that rank until he became ill and unfit for further field duty, when he was discharged and returned home, November 25, 1861. In June, 1862, Dr. Patchen came to Manitowoc and here organized Company G, which became a part of the Thirty-ninth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, which was commissioned June 10, 1864, and served until September 22, 1864. As its captain he went with this company to the front, the regiment being assigned to duty with the Army of the Tennessee. He participated in many hotly contested battles and his own courage often inspired the men who served under him.
While in Fond du Lac Dr. Patchen had pursued the study of dentistry under Dr. Hoyt and when the war was over he entered upon the practice of his profession in Manitowoc, remaining in active connection with dentistry to the time of his death, which occurred on the 12th of November, 1897. He was accorded an extensive practice which grew in volume and importance as the years passed by. Through reading and study he kept in touch with the advanced work of the dental fraternity and was quick to adopt any improved methods which his judgment sanctioned as of value in the work of the profession. He was a worth member of the Grand Army of the Republic, was an active worker in the Masonic order and was also a leading member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the founder of the Odd Fellows Lodge at Two Rivers.
Mrs. Patchen survived her husband for about two years. The four children of their family who are yet living are Mrs. R.K. Paine, Ida E. Patchen, Mrs. D.J. Mahoney and Dr. George W. Patchen. "Mrs. Patchen," wrote one who knew her "was a woman of pronounced, sturdy character, above conceits and shams, and always demanding in her business dealings that honest integrity she was ready to extend herself. Being a woman of retiring disposition she preferred the quiet domestic comforts of her home and books, among her children and grandchildren, to the more exciting social events which she rarely attended." In the passing of Dr. and Mrs. Patchen Manitowoc lost two of her representative and valued residents. The sterling traits of character which both displayed commended them to the high regard and good will of all who knew them and made their example one well worth of emulation.

The 16th, the 1st Northern New York regiment, was recruited mainly in St. Lawrence and Clinton counties, with one company from Franklin county. It was mustered into the service of the United States at Albany, May 15, 1861, for two years, went into camp near Bethlehem and left the state for Washington on June 26. Assigned to the 2nd brigade, 5th division, Army of Northeastern Virginia, it moved to Alexandria on July 11, from there to Manassas, where it was engaged but a very short time on the 21st and returned immediately after to Alexandria.
On Sept. 15 it was ordered to Port Lyon and attached to the 2nd brigade, 1st division, 1st corps, Army of the Potomac, which division later belonged with the same number to the 6th corps. The winter of 1861-62 was passed at Camp Franklin near Fairfax seminary, Va., where the regiment remained until April 6, when it was ordered to Catlett's station, but at once returned to camp and was then ordered to Yorktown, where it arrived on May 3.
The regiment was in action at West Point, and at Gaines' mill, its loss being over 200 killed and wounded. It was present through the remainder of that week of battle, but was not closely engaged, then encamped at Harrison's landing until Aug. 16, when it returned for a brief period to Alexandria.
In the battle at Crampton's gap it was in advance and lost heavily in a brilliant dash; was held in reserve at Antietam; at Fredericksburg was posted on picket duty, and after the battle went into winter quarters near Falmouth. It shared the hardships and discomforts of the "Mud March" under Gen. Burnside and was active in the Chancellorsville campaign, with a loss at Salem Church of 20 killed, 87 wounded and 49 missing.
A few days were next spent at Banks' ford, then a short time in the old camp at Falmouth, and on May 22, 1863, the regiment was
mustered out at Albany. During its term of service its loss was 112 men killed or mortally wounded and 84 deaths from other causes. The three years men were transferred to the 121st N. Y.

HEAD OF FIRST HOSPITAL DIES
Dr. G.W. Patchen, 67, Claimed at Florida Home
Dr. George W. Patchen, 67, who, with his brother-in-law, the late Dr. R.K. Paine, established the first hospital in Manitowoc over 40 yearsago, died Sunday night at his home in Melbourne, Fla. Dr. Patchen has been located in Florida the past 17 years. His death came after a brief illness. He visited in Manitowoc last summer. Funeral services for Dr. Patchen will be held at Melbourne, Fla. Wednesday or Thursday.
Dr. Patchen was born in Manitowoc in 1871, the son of Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Patchen. His father was the first dentist to locate permanently in Manitowoc. The younger Patchen attended the schools there and later took a course in the Chicago Medical college at Chicago, from where he secured his M.D. degree.
Returning to Manitowoc he became an assistant and later a partner of Dr. R.K. Paine. In the late nineties, the need for a hospital, where patients could be operated on and persons desiring hospitalization could be accommodated became apparent. Drs. Paine and Patchen, established a hospital in a building on North Eighth street, on the site north of the present Hotel Manitowoc.
This first institution had facilities for eight patients with the best in operating equipment which was available in these days. Dr. Patchen continued the practice of medicine in Manitowoc until 1921.
Survivors are the widow; a daughter, Mrs. R. C. Robertson, Providence, R.I., and a grandson, Richard Norris Robertson, Providence.
Notes for John William Comstock, 1852 - 1944
"History and Genealogy of the Patchin-Patchen Family", Grace Patchen Leggett, 1952 states:
The Comstock family were French Huguenots who fled France at the massacre of St. Bartholomeo. They settled in Norfolk, VA then moved to Auburn, [Cayuga Co.,] NY in 1849, one of the first settlers in Orange Co. where John W. Comstock was born.

CHARLES A. ZEMAN
This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin" by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.139-140.
Charles A. Zeman, treasurer of the Northern Elevator Company, which is located at the corner of Buffalo and Eleventh streets, has been connected with that organization since 1908. He was born in Manitowoc, June 7, 1880, a son of Frank and Anna Zeman, and his entire life has been spent within the confines of the county. The father came from Bohemia to Manitowoc in 1850 and during his active career was engaged in the hotel business. He was very active politically and served as sheriff, county treasurer and alderman. The mother’s death occurred in 1898 and she is buried in Evergreen cemetery. Charles Zeman’s education was acquired in the public schools and soon after his graduation from the North Side high school in 1900 he began his business career as a clerk in the offices of the Northern Grain Company. Afterward he was one of several partners who formed the present Northern Elevator Company, of which he is a director as well as treasurer. Mr. Zeman gives his political support to the democratic party. He holds membership in the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. He resides at No. 702 North Ninth Street. In both social and business circles he well merits the regard in which he is held and the financial success to which he has attained is well deserved.

Connecticut Men in the Revolutionary War states:
Regiment raised on first call for troops by act of Legislature April-May, 1775. Recruited mainly in Fairfield Co. Its record is identical with that of Gen. Wooser's, or the First Regt., up to the seige of St. Johns in Oct., it having marched first to New York under Wooster and then to the Northern Department. Term of service expired Dec., '75; but on account of sickness, many men returned home in Oct.-Nov., '75.
Notes for Abijah Patchen, between 1760 and 1768 - about 1789
"History and Genealogy of the Patchin-Patchen Family", Grace Patchen Leggett, 1952 states:

Notes for Eliphalet Hull, 1749 - 30 Mar 1813
Diana M. Cole states:
"In 1771, the young couple began life in earnest on a farm near Ballston, Saratoga County, New York, where they remained until 1790, when, with their eight children they moved to Unadilla, Yates County; and four years later to Benton where Mr.Hull ended his days. The most eventful period of their lives was while their home was in Saratoga County. It included the seven years of the Revolution, the days that "tried men's souls." The following sketch was prepared by two of their descendants, Mrs. Emma Buell Lee, and her sister, Sarah E. Buell, of Yates County, New York, in 1902.
"Eliphalet Hull was a soldier of the Revolution. His name is enrolled in Capt. John Thompson's Co. of 13th Albany County Regt. he was also a scout and a Minute Man. With his two yoke of oxen, and his son Salmon, ten years old, driving one team, he helped place the great chain across the Hudson River below West Point, which was intended to keep the british vessels from ascending. Great Grandmother Hull resided during her last years with our grandmother Sarah Hull Buell, and we often listened with great interest to the stories of the part she and great grandfather played during the War of the Revolution. Their home was on the line of Burgoyne's march and they suffered great hardships. At one time all the men and boys were called to the Fort, as an attack was expected. Reinforcements were needed, but no one could be spared to send for them. Our great grandmother mounted ahorse and rode through the November sleet and rain and at daybreak returned with the reinforcements. On some occassions she was compelled to take her children and hide in the woods, and twice she put them in an ox cart and returned to Connecticut...
"Eliphalet Hull was one of the noblest of the early settlers of Benton, a good man with endowments and acquirements that made him useful to his own generation, and doubly so to the youth of the new settlement......
"Huldah Patchen Hull was a woman of remarkable capabilities and worth. Her experiences covered the whole period of the Revolution and many years thereafter, buffeting the trials and perils incident to pioneer life, which involved hardships and privations inconceivable in our time, and made her an oracle of her period among a wide circle of acquaintances.

From the application of Mrs. Carrie A. Beardmore Wheeler (D.A.R. ID 84700) to the Daughters of the American Revolution:
"Eliphalet Hull (1749-1813) with his eldest son, served as private in the New York militia. He aided in making the chains used across the North River to prevent British vessels from passing. His wife was one of the unwritten heroines of the Revolution. He was born in Norwalk, Conn.; died in Tates [sic] County, N. Y."

From the "Genealogical Account of the Buells" by Elias Buell, May 23, 1871:
"...On October 9, 1780, the scout sent over to Lake George crossed the trail of what was then called an army. (This was our Uncle Cyrus) Father was sent to notify the neighbors to come into the fort. The next day the fort surrendered to an Army of 500 British and about as many Indians. My Uncle Cyrus was a prisoner in Montreall and Quebeck until the Spring of 1783. When he was discharged he returned home and found his father and family ready to move to the Susquhanna River. Started, but stopped on the Shoharry Flats until February, when they worked their way over the mountains wilderness, to the mouth of the Umadilla on the Susquhannah. Here they buffeted the hardships of a wilderness life until 1792, when they all, that is the Buells, Hulles, and Coles, moved together to the far famed Genesee County, settled on or near the center of township 8th and first range."
Notes for Smith M. Cole, 1790 - 1864
William T. Cole states:
"Moved to Penn Yan from Benton with his brother, Asa, and both kept a tavern in Penn Yan, NY for many years, right on the corner of Main and Head Streets."

Mason, Charles McL. Knox, James R. Dinnin, Joseph M. Kennedy, William B. Hyde, George S. Nichols, Emery A. Anderson, A. McQuinn Corrigan, Conway W. Ayres, Edward Schwartz.
Col. Beardsley received authority from the state to recruit this regiment, which was organized at Albany to serve three years. The companies of which it was composed were recruited from the counties of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Wyoming, Rensselaer, Washington, St. Lawrence and Clinton during the summer and fall of 1861, and were mustered into the U. S. service between Sept. 9 and Dec. 13, 1861.
Col. Beardsley was a graduate of West Point, who had seen service in Florida and Mexico, and the officers generally were well qualified for their positions. At the expiration of its term of service, the original members, except veterans, were mustered out and the regiment, composed of veterans and recruits, continued in the service.
On March 29, 1865, it was consolidated into nine companies, the battalion of the 4th N. Y. cav., having been transferred to this regiment as Cos. B, E and L. The regiment was finally mustered out and honorably discharged on July 17, 1865, at Cloud's mills, Va. The 9th left the state on Nov. 26, 1861, for Washington, where it served during the ensuing winter.
In March, 1862, four companies were detached for service with the reserve artillery, and the other eight companies did duty on the Peninsula as train-guard in the Army of the Potomac. Returning to Washington, the regiment was mounted in June, 1862, and assigned to the cavalry brigade, 1st corps, Army of Virginia, with which it participated in Gen. Pope's campaign.
It formed part of the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac during the remainder of the year, being frequently in action, losing 26 at Thoroughfare gap in October and 7 at Aldie in November. It served through the Chancellorsville campaign in the 1st brigade, 1st cavalry division, Army of the Potomac, and through the Gettysburg campaign and the subsequent campaigns in Virginia, in the 2nd brigade, same division.
It was repeatedly in action in 1863, sustaining its heaviest losses at Beverly ford, Brandy Station, and the operations in the vicinity of Culpeper, gaining a well earned reputation for gallantry and efficiency. On the opening of the campaign against Petersburg in 1864, it was heavily engaged at the Wilderness and Spottsylvania and then took part in Sheridan's raid to the James river.
Returning to the army it was active at Totopotomy and Cold Harbor and then shared in Sheridan's Trevilian raid, meeting with a loss of 50 killed, wounded and missing at Trevilian Station, which was one of the severest losses in that action. The regiment was next engaged before Petersburg in June, and in July and August was active at Deep Bottom, Berryville, Newtown, Cedar creek, Cedarville, Summit Point, Kearneysville, Smithfield, and many minor skirmishes.
In the fall, as part of the Army of the Shenandoah, it fought at the Opequan, Fisher's hill, Winchester, Cedar creek Middletown, etc., sharing in all the brilliant campaign whereby Sheridan swept the valley clear of the enemy. It shared in the final Appomattox campaign, in which it met with an additional loss of 13 killed, wounded and missing.
During its term of service the regiment lost 8 officers and 89 enlisted men killed and died of wounds; 4 officers and 135 enlisted men, missing; 304 officers and men wounded, including those fatally wounded; 5 officers and 122 men died of accident, disease, in prison, etc., the deaths from all causes amounting to 224.
