Notes: Little is known of this "Beaverdam Daniel" Patterson, and the nickname given to him was recorded by another researcher who seems to have had information that this family was known by this nickname at the time they lived around Beaverdam Branch in the western corner of Cumberland County. Daniel's wife has been determined to have been Catherine Malloy through the will of her father, John Malloy, who willed certain slaves named in Daniel's will of 1833, plus the named grand daughter Elizabeth Patterson. I know through confiscation deeds (see deed list above) that Daniel's wife was living on his land on Raft Swamp in 1782, which was soon confiscated by the federal government for Tory crimes. Some of the land Daniel later purchased was patented originally by Angus Malloy with whom he had been a Tory in the Revolution. Daniel's estate settlement claims that he is "Raft Swamp Daniel" Patterson but this is definitely an error on the part of the Sheriff collecting fees for court costs unpaid by the heirs. Daniel was an active Tory in the Revolution and had his lands in Cumberland County and on Raft Swamp confiscated in 1782.
