| History Mysteries There were eight Revolutionary War soldiers buried on the Watchtower Property, Rt. 22, Patterson. Does anyone have any further information on exactly where the soldiers' bodies were laid to rest? We know where the marker is located, but not the exact place of the buried soldiers. The pictures are photos from 1956. Did anyone participate in the pictured ceremony? Were you a Scout or in the American Legion at this time? See below for another History Mystery Anyone with any information about this marker please contact Ron Taylor, President, PHS at rtaylor@pattersonhistoricalsociety.org. |

| Another History Mystery Right is a photograph of the Hayt Homestead taken at the turn of the 20th century. It is not the Hayt Mansion from Dorset Hollow (West Street, Patterson). It may or may not have been on Cornwall Hill Road. Does anyone remember seeing it or have any further information about it? Please email us at PHS@pattersonhistoricalsociety.org |
