On Sunday, May 29, 2022, the Louisiana Purchase Chapter of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, honored early St. Louis County pioneer and Revolutionary War solder John Patterson at Cold Water Cemetery in Florissant, Missouri.
The Louisiana Purchase Chapter, NSDAR, became interested in marking John Patterson’s grave in June, 2021, while discussing projects for the 2021-2022 chapter year. A recently-deceased chapter member had long wished to mark her 5th-great-grandfather John Patterson’s grave, and the chapter decided to make her wish come true. This project helped the chapter fulfill one of the DAR’s missions – Historic Preservation – by marking Revolutionary War patriot graves.
