The son of James H. and Adeline (Tarbett or Talbot) Patterson, African Americans who were born in Boston and North Bridgewater, MA respectively and married at Stoughton, MA on Oct. 10, 1854.
Moses' father, a Bootmaker, was mustered into the 5th Massachusetts Cavalry as a Private in Company D on Jan. 29, 1864, or two days before Moses was born. The 5th was one of three African American regiments raised by the State of Massachusetts. It's very possible that James saw his son before his regiment was deployed as they didn't leave for the seat of war until May 1864.
Adeline and her son Moses were residing at 44 Southac St. (now Phillips St.) in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood when Moses died of Pneumonia. The death record confirms he was interred at Mount Hope Cemetery. The father James Patterson was serving with his regiment guarding Confederate prisoners at Point Lookout, MD at the time of Moses' death.
