Eighteenth graduate of USMA at West Point.
December 13, 1805- October 30, 1806.
There was another Partridge who graduated from the USMA in 1806, Alden Partridge. I'm wondering if they were related?
Commissioned 2nd lieutenant in Corps of Engineers. Served at West Point in 1807 and then as assistant engineer in construction of defenses at Charleston, S.C. 1808-1810.
Promoted to 1st Lt. Corps of Engineers Feb. 23, 1808. Served at West Point 1810 to 1812. Captain Corps of Engineers July 1, 1812.
He was chief engineer in the Campaign of 1812 in Michigan Territory in the army of Major General William Hull and, because of Hull's surrender of Detroit on August 16, 1812, became a POW.
