Excerpt from Services of Memorial Day: In Canton and Sharon, May 30, 1898 Captain Patrick was a tailor. Ou Nov. Loth, 1768, he mar ried Deborah Smith, of Dedham. The year following he came to Canton and in 1770 purchased land from Joseph Estey. On the 25th of July he raised his house. The original name was Kilpatrick and in the list of the minute-men who marched in Capt. Asahel Smith's company at the alarm, April 19th, 1775, from Stoughton, we find as one of the sergeants, William Kilpatrick. We have his autograph signed in 1777 as William Patrick. Of his career in the army we know but little. He was at one time captured by the enemy and carried to Canada, and in due time exchanged. On May 12th, 1777, he was at home in Stoughton (now Canton) and undoubtedly at this time raised his company, which was afterwards attached to the regiment of Col. Ichabod Alden, in the Continental Army. On Oct. 17th, 1777, he was present at the surrender of Burgoyne's army.
