a. Thomas Patton Sr., born around 1740, surely a son of Henry Patton, Sr., was a constable in 1763 in Augusta County. As seen above he was living at the Back Creek Fort in August of 1765. In 1768, he was a constable on the New River; on tithable lists of 1770 and 1772. In 1774, he was a juryman in the Fincastle County Court. He served with (his brother) Henry during Dunmore's War. (Illustration in Kegley, p 315). In 1777, he was in Captain Jas. McCorkle's Company of the Montgomery County militia along with his brother James Patton. In 1786, he was recommended as a captain, and in 1793 is listed as the fifth captain in the second battalion of the Militia of Montgomery County. He resigned his commission in October of 1795. Beginning in 1783, Thomas had various tracts of land surveyed in the same area of Montgomery County that Henry and James were living. (21, II, p 241) In 1787, he had a tract of 150 acres surveyed on Elk Spring, a branch of Thorn Spring, adjacent to the Peak Creek land. This tract was assigned by Henry Patton and this had previously been assigned to him by James Patton<. He was living next to Henry and David in 1789, with two sons age 16-21. (63) In October of 1795, Thomas and his wife Sarah sold land on Thorn Spring. Thomas Sr. sold three tracts of land in Montgomery County, totaling 875 acres in July of 1800. (27) Some descendants claim Thomas married twice.

Thomas Patton Sr. was on Montgomery County tax lists at least through 1812 and was evidently deceased by December of 1812 when his heirs sold 547 acres of land on Thorn Spring, parts of two tracts which had been patented to Thomas (Deed Book E:376). Children of Thomas as given by a descendant in 1896 (742); note that three children married Trinkles.

3) Sarah Patton, born around 1769, married John Trinkle.
4) Mary (Polly) Patton, born around 1771, married George Helms.
5) Henry Patton Jr, born in 1773, married Eliz Hickman.
6) Sampson Patton, born around 1777, married Elizabeth Trinkle.
