Dedham. He "owned the covenant" in the First Church, Walpole, on Sept.
16, 1731 but at an early age removed to territory which later became
the town of Foxboro but which was then a part of Stoughton. Feb. 34,
1731 his father had deeded to him sixty acres "it being my whole right
in a tract of land whioh I and my son, John Pattin, bought of Ebenezer
Mosely" in the 46th lot of the 34th division, in Stoughton. In four
transactions in 1758 and 1763 he bought from John Humphrey 108 acres,
in Stoughton "near the Dedham line", from Enoch Wiewall 130 acres,
from Richard Hall 175 acres and from Thomas Hutchinson 188 acres, all
