Description of Cemetery: Though the other Baptist Cemetery has the oldest clearly marked stone in the town of Patterson
(1782), this is the oldest cemetery in the Town, as it was in use prior to 1780, when it appeared on Erskine's Military Map.
The Baptist Church met in an old log church across the road before moving to its present location, in the early 1800's, about
two miles south on Route 311. It was called Fredrickstown Baptist Church, then Franklin Baptist Church, and finally Patterson
Baptist Church.
Many of the graves are marked with fieldstones. There appear to be as many as 200 people buried in this cemetery. There
are some Revolutionary War Veterans buried in this cemetery.

Description of Cemetery: Though this cemetery has the oldest marked stone in the Town of Patterson (1782), it is really

of this cemetery originally belonged to the Towner's Family. In 1828, Sen. John Towner, who was later buried in the cemetery,
deeded the cemetery to the Baptist Church. In 1857, Towner deeded an additional ½ acre to increase the size of the cemetery.
The church added additional land to the cemetery in 1892.
The stone wall in front of the Cemetery is reported to have been erected prior to the Revolutionary War. A number of veterans
from the Revolutionary War, to the present, are buried in this cemetery.
The cemetery contains a number of interesting monuments designed by some renowned monument craftsmen. The large Robinson
obelisk is one of the most prominent.
