Hello,
I found this tonight and found it to be pretty interesting.I hadn't heard before that Capt D. Patrick was murdered.
"In January 1643-44, we first find a record of him [Thomas Stevenson] at Stamford, Conn.Captain Daniel Patrick wsa shot by a Dutchman in the house of Captain John Underhill on a Sunday afternoon, and the Dutchman being arrested was confined in Underhill's house, and in their turn Thomas Stevenson and George Slowson were set to watch him.They locked him in an upper room, thinking him secure, while they sat by the file below.But the prisoner jumped out of the window and escaped."Taken from "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record."Jul 1882
