Notes

Cordwainer (shoe maker) and ferry operator. He was born prior to 1646 in either Canterbury or London, England. It is believed that Peter emigrated from England to Virginia in 1669, although his name is not found on any published passenger lists. About 1675 he migrated northward from an unnamed Virginia town to Bay Colony (Haverhill, Mass) leaving a wife and child in Virginia. He was residing at Salem when he was impressed into the Bay Colony militia, participating in a bloody battle against the Eastern Indians at Blackpoint (Scarborough), Maine 29 Jun 1677. The wounded Pattee was mistakenly reported as dead in a report of casualties. Two years later he was again "pressed for the country's service" but no details are known. He was one of the earliest cordwainers in a town that later billed itself as the "Queen Shoe City of the World". He also operated a ferry across the Merrimack. The far was a penny for a man or woman and five pence for a horse.
