Dear Nelson
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the long delay in getting back to you. Unfortunately given the early time frame of your search it will be difficult to find out much more about James. Do you know what religion he was? RC records for Londonderry City begin in 1823 for example, much later than your 1699 year of birth.
Best wishes

James Patterson's descendants were protestant so I am assuming that he was also.

Church of Ireland records for Derry City begin quite later too:
http://derry.rootsireland.ie/generic.php?filename=sources.tpl&selectedM…You will have to depend on sources outside of parish records like the Irish Newspaper Archive or trade directories etc. The Irish Genealogy Toolkit website gives a good run down of sources:
