Captain Samuel Patten, son of John Patten, the immigrant, and Jane Cochran, was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire in 1767 and died 17 May 1843 in Derry (formerly Londonderry), New Hampshire. (The father, John Patten, came from Northern Ireland around 1749/50)  Samuel Patten probably never moved his residence, the town of Londonderry split into two towns (Londonderry to the west, Derry to the east) during his lifetime.  He married Mary Bell and had six children.  Samuel and Mary’s gravestone was carved by Brown and Eastman, local stone carvers.
