It was Patrick's recollection that he was at Fort Washington in November 1776 when that fort was taken by the British; no record of this service is available. Available documents indicate an enlistment or re-enlistment in March 1777, serving ten months in Captain Benjamin Walker's New York Company. He was at the taking of Fort Montgomery in Orange County, New York in October 1777, being then taken ill and discharged at Wilmington, Delaware.
