  • Pg. 386. Patterson, Erwin, 2-11-1761; 5-5-1761; W.B. 2/11; Mentions: Wife: Elenora Patterson, Daughter: Margaret Patterson (land in Augusta Co.), Relationship of following not stated: Erwin Wood (son of John Wood), John Mills, Thomas Rogers, James Patterson; Executors: John Mills, Thomas Rogers, James Patterson, Witnesses: Nathaniel Patterson, Jane Mills, Mary Mills, John Wood.


Notes

From :Annals of Tazewell On the third of September, 1747, Captain James Campbell and Erwin Patterson were appointed processsioners of lands on the waters of Roanoke. These were the most southern bounds for which processioners were appointed, so that it must be taken that there were few settlers actually living upon New River, Holston, Clinch and Powell on that date.


in January 1953, James Patton wrote a letter to Governor Robert Dinwiddie in which Patton told of trouble between Erwin Patterson and Samuel Stalnaker growing out of trade with the Cherokees. Doubtless Capt. Stalnaker's friendliness and barter with the Cherokees had attracted others who wished a part of this trade, Patterson being one of them. Probably jealousy prompted Patterson to make the charge that Capt. Stalnaker was charging the Cherokees too much for corn. That Patterson's statement was a falsehood is clearly established by the fact that the Cherokees took side with Capt. Stalnaker in this difficulty, and the same letter to Governor Dinwiddie disclosing the trouble between Patterson and Stalnaker also contained "a complaint of the Emperor of the Cherokee Nation against Patterson."

From IDeg

The first stirrings of what became the French and Indian War were beginning at this time. The Shawnee in Ohio fought with the French, and the Cherokee with the English until near the end of the war. Indians attacked the Dunkers who were still settled near Samuel Stalnaker's first place farther east at the Buffalo Pound in 1753.32 There was apparently a large encampment of Cherokees near Samuel’s trading post on the Holston. Samuel was accused by Erwin Patterson, who complained to Governor Dinwiddie, of charging the Indians too much for corn. Patterson claimed to have orders from the Governor to arrest Stalnaker and take him to Williamsburg if he refused to leave his land. James Patton investigated the matter and defended him in a letter to the Governor, saying that Stalnaker was more esteemed in the community than Patterson, and that the community depended on him, as the farthest settler west, for their defense. The Cherokees came to trade at Stalnaker’s, and Samuel had been supporting the group settled there more or less permanently. When Samuel asked the government to pay for their keep, the Governor refused until they finished a road they had agreed to build, and Samuel started charging them for their provisions.33, 34 Patterson was also accused at this time of ordering an attack at his house by John Conolly on the Emperor of the Cherokees, who was returning from a visit to the governor of Virginia in Williamsburg

Appendix to above

1QQ72, The Preston and Virginia Papers of the Draper Collection of Manuscripts, State Historical Society of Wisconsin, Madison Hon ? [January 1753] I met the Emperor of the Cherroke with his interpreter M. Watts at Reed Creek a branch of the Mississipna ye 20th Jany on their return from Wmsburg by Potomack. The Emperor complained of being abused by Erwin Patterson & one John Connily as your Honr may observe by ye Inclosed Depositions of Jno Watts. & ye copy of a warrant. I have sent out warrants against Connily who has since Fled and believe is gone to Carolina, but as to Mr. Patterson. I shall observe your Honrs Orders concerning Patterson In Denying who denies every one thing said against him & says he can Prove what Watt has sworn to to be False. On Patterson' return home he Reported that he had orders from your Honr to move[?] one Samuel Starnicker off his land, and on his refusal to send him tied to Wmburg which Report not only disturbed Starnicker but most of our out inhabitants on those Waters, who has frequently been oppressed by those Traveling Indians but Starnicker much more so as he lives above 40 miles from our outmost settlmt at which Place ye Cherrokees meets our Traders. In March Last Starnacker sent an acct proved against these Indians wch your Honr in council refused, saying you'd Pay nothing for their subsistence untill you were sure they had fulfilled their agreement with this Government by cutting a road [??] since which time Starnicker says he has demanded pay from ye Indians for Provisions but has Recd very little if any, and by what I can understand he is in good Esteem with the greatest Part of the Cherrokee Nation; he says he has no Enimies among them only two Noble Men and their Friends from whom he had been a means of taking two ffersoo they had stolen from one Andrew Evans which will appear by ye deposition of sd Evans & Robert McFarland, the Emperor very readily agreed to ye truthof that story & said he was willing to live in Friendship with sd Starnicker Provided he would let his people have Provisions at ye same rate he sold to white People on which I sent my son in law John Buchanan with ye Emperor's Emperor to Starnecker’s who by my Directions made up the breach to ye satisfaction of both Parties as your Honr may observe by ye within written agreement & Mr. Buchanan’s Letter to me. The Cherrokee Indians claim at the ?????????????????????? Norward Indians ???????? above Salem I would not have troubled your Honr with this Expresswere it not that the Emperor Insisted that I would Lay his complaint before you against Patterson and Connily he already Your Honr may observe by Captain Harman’s Deposition that ye Norward Indians has warned our out Inhabitants off that land therefore he hopes your Honr will give me Instructions how to manage should these Indians Put any of these threats in Practice [the second page starts here and is in more formal script than the preceding] for less than the two last Presents given them and their charges in traveling the Country, but as the Emperor says he will be in Williamsburg with Ten Noblemen In June next. and then if you Honour thinks Proper to Treat with them it would not be amiss to have one Sherril an Interpreter who lives near Colo John Bolling’s. 25  26 Nevertheless of the uneasiness the Country is under about Starnikers who is in much more esteem here, than Patterson I would not have troubled your Honr with this Express, were it not that I promised to the Emperor to lay all this before your Honour immediately, which Hopes your Honour will excuse from sch your Honours most obedt and very Humble Servt James Patton


From People of VA At other times the dark passions of lawless white men exploded. In 1753 at Erwin Patterson's store south of the Great Lick of Roanoke a hunter named John Connelly savagely attacked Old Hop, chief of the Overhill Cherokees, and beat him so "That the Blood gushed out of his mouth and Nose." Interpreter John Watts jumped to pull Connelly off, "other wise he Believed they would have killed him." Watts accused storekeeper Erwin Patterson of instigating the attack. The interpreter said Patterson and the chief "had many Quarlles." He also said the chief's wife admitted to him that "

from:FTM The Sage & Conley Famlies of Virginia

John [Connolly] was always in trouble with the law and at one point was chased out of the state of Virginia into North Caroline. An account of this is as follows: “The Emperor of the Cherokee Nation had a very different grudge with Erwin Patterson. Through his intepreter Watts he told Patton (Col. James Patton) a story which he asked to be sent to the Governor.

Watts said, “At Erwin Patterson’s house the Emperor of the Cherokee nation being there was made drunk and afterwards insulted and abused in a very gross manner. Erwin Patterson ordered him to be layed which John Conley did and in so doing, the Emperor was so much abused that the blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. Watts came and relieved the Emperor. He said it was well for him he was there otherwise he believed they would have killed him.” “‘John Conolly who had attacked the Emperor was a well-known trouble-maker on New River. This was not the first complaint against him. In 1749 George Draper of Drapers Meadows went out hunting and never returned. It is not known if Eleanor Draper suspected Connolly of harming her husband but the same year he disappeared she complained of Connolly to the Augusta Court. (she also named George Breckenridge in this complaint). John Sinclair also complained that Connolly killed and skinned a deer and left the carcass on his fence. When Sinclair complained Connolly killed his “two find dog which guarded his home. ”This was a great loss because the settlers relied on their dogs to warn them of the presence of Indians. Col. James Patton now issued a warrant which read: “Connolly is a vagrant, loose in his morals and worse in his behavior which he has verified for these three years past on New River. During this time he has had no certain place of abode but sulking about and pretending to be a hunter and has been very abusive to several of his majesties subjects in those remote parts. The Emperor says unless he has satisfaction he will inform his nation who will have revenge on the white people. Patton ordered “To all sheriffs and constables and officers of the militia and others of His Majesty’s liege people of Augusta but in particular Capt. Adam Harmon, Ebenezer Waistcoat, Alexander Sayers, Joseph Crockett, Samuel Stalnaker and Robert Box to make diligent search for Connolly and when found bring him before me. He will be dealt with according to law. I forbid all persons to succor him.” Patton then notified Williamsburg, “I have sent out warrants against Conolly who has since fled to Carolina.”
