John T. Jones, brother of Edmund W. Jones. While Jones was a student at Yale, he died before finishing his law degree. Offered here is a lengthy 3 page letter + address leaf sent to his brother-in-law Samuel F. Patterson (1799-1874). Letter is dated New Haven [Ct] 3rd Sept. 1840. John was a student at Yale at this time. Mentions Col. Pearson and Col. Pickins. Samuel F. Patterson (1799-1874) As a Whig, he originally opposed secession. And after the Civil War, in a letter to his son Rufus, he claimed that he was "content with a return to the old government under which I never felt that I was opposed." But during the war he was loyal to his state and rejoiced over Southern victories. After the war, he joined the Conservative and later the Democratic party, attending the 1866 Philadelphia Peace Convention which supported Andrew Johnson and his policies as opposed to the Republicans. Patterson also held several other offices during his lifetime, including clerk of the superior court, justice of the peace, and, in 1839, Indian commissioner. He was also a brigadier general and later a major general in the state militia and thus became known as General Patterson. In addition, he served as a trustee of The University of North Carolina. In 1828 he became a junior grand warden of the Grand Lodge of Masons in North Carolina; in 1830 and 1831 he was deputy grand master and in 1833 and 1834 grand master. Patterson was active in the Episcopal church, serving as a lay reader, warden, and vestryman for many years. In 1871 he attended the General Convention of the church in Baltimore as a lay delegate from the North Carolina Diocesan Convention. VG
