From the History of East Haven by Sarah Eva Hughes & Stephen Dodd:
“Edward Patterson was also a plantation signer in 1639. Estate £40. Atwater says: ‘The name does not occur after 1646,’ Thomas Smith married the daughter and only child of Edward Patterson, so he became possessor of his share, which introduces Thomas Smith to East Haven in 1662. From him all the Smiths of the town are descended. Edward Patterson died October 31, 1669.”
