It was Captain Peter’s son Asa who was the real soldier of those early generations. Born in Haverhill in 1734, he was the right age for military service when the French and Indian Wars came along. Asa was a captain with General Wolfe in the famous expedition to Quebec climaxed bgy the battle on the Plains of Abraham in which both Wolfe and French General Montcalm lost their lives.
A few years later, back in New England, as Lieutenant Asa Pattee, he was commissioned to build a bridge. Payment was refused for ‘five gallons of rum’ he furnished the workmen when the structure was erected in 1766.
Asa’s military rank seems to have varied somewhat from time to time. Captain in 1759, Lieutenant in 1766, he served as a Private and as a Lieutenant in the New Hampshire Volunteers during the Revolution. If this seems peculiar to us in these days of standing armies and professional soldiers, remember what the conditions were then.
Every time a new war broke out or a campaign started, the farmers got together and joined up, each volunteer being assigned whatever rank the commanding general felt he was capable of filling. Of Asa’s Revolutionary War service we know only that he was severely wounded at the Battle of Bennington in 1777, and that two of his sons, Asa Jr. and John, were in his company in 1776.
Between wars Asa pursued the life of a farmer, builder, and public spirited citizen. In 1761 he was Third Selectman of Goffstown, New Hampshire, where he had moved from Haverhill, and in 1765 and 1766 he was First Selectman. Two years later he was one of a group of seven men who built a church, the first one in town. In later years after the Revolution, Asa Pattee and his family removed again, this time to Warner, New Hampshire, where he built the first frame house in town, and kept a hotel there for a number of years. He owned the largest farm in town, and raised much stock of cattle, sheep and horses. The old campaigner must have had a sturdy constitution, for he lived to the age of 91.
