Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Pattison, James, ca. 1723-1805 : James Pattison was the second son of a London merchant. He was educated at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich and married the daughter of Albert Borgard, commanding officer of the Artillery Regiment.

Pattison served at Ghent in 1742, was in Portugal at the end of the Seven Years' War, and was sent to Venice to re-organize the Venetian artillery in 1769. He was appointed Colonel of the 4th Battalion of Artillery in 1777 and, in September of that year, was sent to command the artillery in America. Pattison campaigned in 1777 and 1778 and then administered his unit from New York until ill-health led to his return to England in 1780. This marked the end of his active service.
