Deric PATTEE

This is where the male Pattee line ends. As of today we have 408 years of history on this line. Geneology that has been discovered and passed on for future generations. I am eternally grateful for all those who have taken part in putting this line together and doing work for my ancestors. I pray that we may all work together to see this family united and strengthened through this work. I am grateful to a most wonderful God who has given us the power to find these people who are so precious in our lives. People who have sacrificed to make us what we are today.

The family was of Flemish origin, and the first reference to their life in England is to be found in the Walloon Registers of Canterbury Cathedral on May 13, 1586. Sometime thereafter the family moved to London where they were among the founders of the French Church on Threadneedle Street. This church building has long since been destroyed, but the Church Records are preserved in the file of the Huguenot Society of London. Peter was baptized in the French Church on Threadneedle St., London, England. In 1669 because of certain political opinions he entertained, he found it expedient to take a hasty departure from England. His will was proved Nov. 2, 1724 and the actual will was dated Sept. 11, 1722. Peter settled 1st in Virginia where he had one son. He moved to Haverhill in 1676. He took the oath of Allegiance Nov. 28, 1677 and established the 1st ferry at Haverhill, which is still called after him today. He applied for acceptance as "townsman" of Haverhill in 1677 (he had picked up the trade of "cordwainer") and was refused. He was too different in temperament for the puritans. His faith and standards were different too. In 1679 he was a soldier in King Philip's War. He applied for a grant of a piece of land to settle on and again was refused, yet he lived his life out in Haverhill.

They found out he left a wife and son in Virginia and he was ordered to send for them and pay the cost to Andrew Greeley and a Mr. Aires, which he did, but they were not found by the messenger that had sailed on the finding mission.
He was wounded in the war and was granted permission to stay in Haverhill.
In 1686 He was accused of trespassing on town ways and common lands by fencing in some of them.
In 1694 he was elected Haverhill's constable by majority vote.
In 1681/82 he purchased land from John and Cornelius Page.
In 1695 he applied for permission to build a grist mill and was refused.
In 1696 he applied for permission to operate a tavern in his house (probably to purposely infuriate the townsmen for refusing the grist mill and made it worse by being so cocky as to store up vast amounts of "cyder, rum, molasses and what not.)
In 1710 he was still operating Pattee's Ferry which he deeded to his son Richard on January 19, 1719/20
In 1710 he was again elected constable of Haverhill. "He was a "long and stormy petrel" in the town and only gradually fought his way to public favor. He was probably a man of considerable native ability and originality, but with a somewhat unconventional and undiplomatic temperament for the 17th century Haverhill." (Taken from Records and files of Quarterly Courts of Essex County, Mass.)
Peter now joined the Haverhill Church but his sons and daughters did not.
