| S N was Mayor of the Borough in 1658, and we learn from Worth's "History of Plymough" that he established a post-house for letters; the word "Postma" on the token is evidently an abridgement of Postmaster. Mr. Worth further informs us he was a sufferer for conscience' sake. During his mayoralty he was required to give currency in the church to a proclamation issued by Parliament. He refused from scruples of piety, and was immediately sent for to London, and imprisoned. This untoward affair ened in his ruin. ("History of Plymouth," p. 133). It is probable the celebrated historical painter, James Northcote, R. A., was one of this family. He was born at Plymouth in 1746, and his father was a watchmaker. |

| Edward Patteson is mentioned in the siege accounts as selling cloth to the Committee of Denvce, and (with Thomas Dalkeinge) as "making and tarreinge capes for ye centinells at ye outworks." This is interesting as an early mention of a rude kind of waterproofing. |
