Member of New England Historic Genealogical Society, Author of " Memoir of Col. Jeduthan Baldwin." BOSTON, MASS. THOMAS W. BALDWIN 1908 0^ 1l 1-^ r" INTRODUCTION Genealogy is a fascinating subject and one which has always interested me. Several years ago I made a visit to Merrimac and Amesbury with my wife to see what we could learn of her ancestors. We procured considerable informa- tion, to which we added much afterward. About two years ago it occurred to me that it would be of interest to carry this further, and, if sufficient material could be pro- cured, to publish it for the information of the family and any others who might be interested. Accordingly I set about the task of endeavoring to locate and get the record of all Patten families Vv^ho trace their line back to William Patten, who was of Cambridge in 1635. I have succeeded beyond my expectations, and have been able to follow out the lines more fully than I anticijDated. I have got much assistance from county and town histories and records, as well as from genealogies of allied families. Of these I will mention par- ticularly the Roberdeau Genealogy, in which is given a full account of the Patten family, who became connected with them by marriage ; also the Sargent Genealogy to which I am indebted for those families of Amesbury and vicinity who married into that family. I have been much indebted tc Rev. C. H. Pope, whose long experience in preparing genealogies has been of great assistance to me. I regret that his researches for me in INTRODUCTION England in 1907 failed to discover any definite and positive trace of the family before coming to this country. I wish also here to express my thanks to the members of the family who in many cases have responded so freely to the inquiries I have made, and who have been ready to furnish and ascertain anything that might assist me. Some families will be found to be incomplete. This is due to two causes: one, lack of information about parties who could furnish the material; another, neglect of parties, v/ho were able to furnish the material, but failed to reply to inquiries made of them ; the number of these is very small. Errors very hkely may be found, but in a work of this size it is difficult not to have some occur ; but I trust that I have kept them at a minimum. In some cases I have found two different dates for the same event. This may account for some apparent discrepancies. In closing, perhaps, I cannot do better than to quote a paragraph I once saw in a genealogy, the author being given as B. L. Swan. He said : " There is no perfect genealogical work extant, nor can one be made. The causes of error are many and difficult to avoid." T. W. B. Boston, June, 1908.

PATTEN GENEALOGY WILLIAM PATTEN OF CAMBRIDGE FIRST GENERATION The origin and location of the ancestry of William Patten has always been an open question. There are traditions regarding the family in England, but, in his case, there is no evidence in support of them. It is reported that a family of Pattens were in the north of England and went from there to Scotland in the fifteenth century, and about a century later some of their descendants went to the north of Ireland. Such a theory may be correct regarding the Pattens who came to this country in the eighteenth century, as they are stated to have come from Scotland and from Ireland. A survey of Great Britain at the time of the settlement of New England shows but a few places where the name of Patten occurs to any very great extent. One of these was Lancaster County. In the parish of Warrington, sixteen miles east from Liverpool, there was a family of Pattens, and it was from this neighborhood that many settlers came to Dorchester and its vicinity. It is also from this region that the William Patten went who was Bishop of Winchester and founder of Magdalen College. The latter is a man who is claimed by most of the Pattens in this country as their ancestor, but I have so far failed to find any proof which 2 PATTEN GENEALOGY could connect them with him. The earliest will to be found in this region is that of Thomas Patten, of Warrington, in 1579. After this we find no other wills until 1653, when one Thomas Patten, of Warrington, made his will and in it expressed gratitude to his brother William for various kind favors and appointed him as his executor. This could hardly have been our William, for as he had already been in this country at least eighteen years it is not probable that he would at that time have been appointed an executor of a will in England. Another locality where there were many Pattens was the county of Somerset, and it is to this family that I am inclined to think our William belonged. Nothing has been found to show by what vessel he came here, and if this point could be established a clue would perhaps be furnished to his residence before coming to this country. We find also traditions in the family, not only in one branch but in many, that three brothers came to this country and settled in different places. This is a tradition that can be found'to exist in a large number of New England families. This fact as far as this family is concerned is not supported by any evidence. Besides William Patten there seems to have been but one other of that name mentioned in the records of that time. This was Nathaniel Patten, who settled in Dorchester. Nathaniel Patten came from Crew- kerne (Cruets urna, the place of the cross), in the county of Somerset, England, and while he may possibly have been related in some way to our William, yet there is no evidence that he was a brother. In fact the evidence is to the con- trary.*; There is evidence existing to show clearly how and when he came to this country. In the note-book of Thomas Lechford, an attorney of that time, there is a legal document FIRST GENERATION 3 in which Nathaniel's former residence is stated and par- ticulars as to his coming over as one of the charterers of the ship Charles of Bristol, in which he sailed on the i8th of June, 1640. In the note-book referred to is a notice of an account for which he brought suit against the undertakers of the ships Charles of Bristol and the Hopewell of London. The last items in the bill were as follows: Itm for a bag of hoppes spoyled by the raine because some of the undertakers gave orders it should not be received aboard 6 12 6 Itm for a nimming sheet and rugg lent unto the Steward Robert Ring for the undertakers use 280 Itm for a cabbin bought in the ship because I had not convenience in the ship according to agreement for myself e & family i 10 o Itm for a womans pillion lost in the ship Hopewell o 10 p Itm costs & charges att Bristoll from the 24th of May till the 18th of June for myselfe & family because att the said 24th day we should have bin gone 500 Itm they undertooke to victuall the said ship Charles for 16 weekes & to carry but 150 passingers, but they carryed in the sayd ship a great many more passin- gers to my remembrance, and they the passingers were debarred of our beere & water before landing & if we had bin put to a long voyage we must needs have suffered much more than we did, wch I leave to the consideration of the Cort He settled in Dorchester and was a prominent citi- zen there and was interested in considerable real estate. In Suffolk Registry of Deeds, under date of July 21, 1671, 4 PATTEN GENEALOGY we find that Nathaniel Patten, of Dorchester, in the county of Suffolk, appointed his " trusty and welbeloved kinsman Thomas Patten of Bristoll nowe resident in Boston " his true and lawful attorney to act in all business matters for him. This Thomas Patten probably did not remain here permanently, as there is no further evidence of him after the settlement of the estate of Nathaniel. Nathaniel Patten died Jan. 31, 1661. He left no surviving children that there is any record of. He left no will, but his wife Justine made a will dated January 2, 1673. In this she mentions different relatives to whom she left property, but no children. Decem- ber 14, 1674, an agreement was entered into between Ben- jamin Bale, of Dorchester, and Thomas Patten, attorney for his father John Patten of Severalls in the parish of Crew- kern within the realm of England, referring to the settle- ment of the estate of Nathaniel Patten, of Dorchester. This agreement refers to Benjamin Bale as being Nathaniel Patten's sister's son, and provided that all his estate outside of what the court had set aside for the widow should be divided into two equal parts; one part to be given to Ben- jamin Bale and the other part to Thomas Patten, attorney for John Patten, for the use of said John Patten and any other person concerned with him. By this agreement also a division of the real estate was made, one part being set off to Benjamin Bale in consideration of his delivering to Thomas Patten sometime the next summer one load of fresh hay. The other part was set off to Thomas Patten in consideration of his paying to Benjamin Bale 59 pounds. In England we find the wiU of Thomas Patten, of Crew- kern, in Somerset County, and he was clearly the father of Nathaniel. In this will, which was dated March 27, 1629, mention is made of his nephews Robert and Thomas Patten ; FIRST GENERATION 5 also his sons John, Thomas and Nathaniel ; also his daugh- ters Sarah, Joane and Elizabeth, and his brother John, but the name of William nowhere appears in this family, thus showing T think plainly that William and this Nathaniel were not brothers. In Somersetshire we find the will of one Thomas Petten of Hardington Manfylde (Mandeville), Somerset, which I give here. " In the Name of God Amen. " The ninth dale of November in the second year of the Raigne of our Soveraigne lord Charles by the grace of god King of England, Scotland, Fraunce and Ireland defender of the faith. Anno Domini One thousand sixe hundred twentie sixe I Thomas Petten of Hardington Manfylde in the Countie of Somset, carpenter, being verie sick of my body, but pfect of remembraunce thankes bee given to god therefore doe make my last will & testamt as followeth ffirst I give and bequeath my soule unto the allmightie god whoe gave it and is my maker and Redeemer of all mankind and my bodie to bee buried in the church yard of Hardington Manfyld.

In witness hereof I have here unto sett my hand and seale the daie and yeare first above written. " Signed sealed and published in the presents of us John Marsh, John Apley, John Marsh the younger. " Proved at London lo May 1627." Here we find a William Patten mentioned who may have been our pioneer. The county of Somerset was essentially a farming country, and what would be more natural than that one coming from such a country should be selected by the inhabitants of Cambridge as a proper person and one well fitted to take the care of their town cattle. Unfortunately for us the parish registers for that vicinity in England are not in existence for that period. The Hardington Mande- ville registers only go back to the year 1687. Another question that has been raised is whether there is any coat of arms of the family. I have found, in several branches, what has been held to be a Patten coat of arms, and while I have seen two or three of these, I have found no two of them exactly alike, and probably others, of which I have heard but not seen, have the same dissimilarity. Not every family in England was entitled to bear arms, and I am inclined to the opinion that the Somersetshire Pattens, being a farming class, were not of those who had this right, and consequently there is no true coat of arms of this branch of the family. FIRST GENERATION 7 The first mention of William Patten to be found in this country is in the Cambridge Town Records under date of March 13, 1635-36, when the following vote was passed: " Agreed Wth William Patten to kepe 100 Cattell one the otherside the Riuer for the space of seauen Mounthes to begine when the Towne shall appoint him and to haue Twenty pounds the one halfe paid him In Monny when he hath kept halfe his tyme and the other halfe In Come when he hath done keeping at the price wch the Comon Rate of Corne goeth when he is to be paid and he is to haue a man to help him the first 14 days he payinge him for one wee'ke the Towne for the other alsoe he is to lodg ther exsept once a weeke and to haue a man to keepe them every other Saboth day and hee to pay xs a beast for every beast he shall loese and to keepe noe Cattell of anny man exsept the Towns- men give leaue vpon the forfetuer of 55 a head for every head he shall soe keepe." In 1638 there appears the following record: " Agreed with wm. Patten to keepe three score ( ) cowes more or lesse vnder 4 score att the direction of the Townsmen for all this sumr vntill they take them in att los a weeke the one halfe to be pd in the first weeke in July eithr in monie or good corne & thothr halfe when he leaveth of keeping them in monie & those that Refuse to paye in monie shall paye in corne att the price that it is att when it is merchant- able he is to pay ^d for eur cowe he leaveth out a night & xs a cowe for eurie one that is lost through his Defaulte he is to take noe oth cattell without the townsmens consent he is to dry ve them out by six of the clock in the morning & bring them home by sunn halfe an houre high att night at the latest & to bring them into the towne cure Evening he is to keepe them but eurie third Sabt & thoth to be prvided for as in 8 PATTEN GENEALOGY former tyme & whoe eur shall bring in anie strange cattell shall synde a helpe for 2 or 3 dayes & the owners to bring them into the common eure morning by the tyme appoynted & his owne cow to be kept free as long as he keepeth them & he is to pay 6d damage for eurie morning that he is not gone out by the tyme appoynted." In 1646 we find that Brother Patten was fined for one hog without keeper thrice is. On the 20th day of the 3d month, 1649, we find that Andrew Stevenson and William Patten were appointed to execute the town order concerning hogs, and to levy on all such as shall be found breaking that order the just penalty of the same therein prescribed. In the same year liberty was granted some of the townsmen, among them William Patten, for the present hay time to mow the Common meadow at Shawshine, '* prvided they intrench uppon noe prpriety." On two or three different occasions we find him appointed as one of the surveyors of fences, his district being that about the Menotomy fields. He was also appointed surveyor of highways on one or two occasions. The Common, as it was called, was well timbered, for we find that when any one wished for lumber he went to the selectmen for permission to get it from the Common. In 1660, at a meeting of the selectmen, several people, among them William Patten, were granted liberty to take timber to repair their fences and for " reparaccon " of their houses. In 1663 he was granted liberty to take timber from the Common for a cart, and at another time for a cow-house and half a hundred " rayles." In November, 1665, he was granted liberty to fell timber to build a lean-to and an end to his barn; and in 1668 to " repayre his old house at towne." He did not always ask for permission, for in 1662, ^'/■i«coUl" :^Ai»*- V^ §■" 9 5 s: J ^ ^ 1 1 1 ^ ^ I ro "t "i >0 h~ «i OS I 8 p: o > <■< lo « A I < FIRST GENERATION 9 we find that he was fined 205 for felling trees on the Common contrary to town orders. Fines levied by the selectmen were sometimes abated, for in 1663 we find that a fine imposed upon William Patten was abated 55. In 1642 we find William Patten enrolled as a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston. William Patten lived on what is now Massachusetts Avenue, opposite the Common. We find in the Proprietors Records that William Patten had " One house and garden, about halfe an Acre upon the Cow Common, John means East, Cow Common South, thomas Blogget west pine swampe North." " In the new Lotts next Manotomie two Acres of plant eing grounde Persivall Greene East, Willam Manning west Richard Champnies South, Gregory Stone North." In 1645 forty-seven lots on west side of Menotomy River were granted to the several inhabitants of the Town. In this distribution William Patten had " Three Acr more or lesse, Richard francis East Daniell Kempster West, Chariest owne lyne north Comon south." A reference to the accompanying plan will give an idea of the location of his place. In 1901 the City of Cambridge published their early town records and with them a plan of the place in 1635 which had been compiled from the best sources obtainable. By the courtesy of the City Clerk I am able to reproduce that plan here. June 9, 1652, an agreement was made by the Church as to the division of Shawshine. In this William Patten was assigned Lot 87, containing ninety acres. Although by the generosity of the Church all the inhabitants received allotments of the Shawshine lands, comparatively few estab- lished a residence there. Although the name of William 10 PATTEN GENEALOGY Patten appears often in the matters of land distribution in the settlement of Billerica, yet it is doubtful if he ever took up his residence there, but remained in Cambridge until his death. As early as 1655 there were so many house- holders there that they were incorporated as a distinct town named Billerica. The town records, January 29, 1654-55, show that, in answer to a letter sent them by their neighbors of Shawshine, alias Billerica, wherein they desire that the whole tract may be disengaged from this place and be one entire body by itself, a committee of five was appointed, who drew up an agreement for a separation, and this was con- sented to by William Patten and others present, inhabitants of Shawshine. This agreement, or Great Deed, as it is called, has been carefully preserved by the town of Billerica, and bound between two covers which bear the inscription : " The Great Deed from the Cambridge Proprietors to the Billerica Proprietors, 1654." The body of the deed reads as follows : " To ALL PEOPLE to whome these prsents shall come Greeting Know ye that wee whose names are Subscribed FOR Sundry good consideracions us thereunto moving and for valluable consideracions to us respectively paid well & truly the recite whereof wee do by these prsents respec- tively acknowledge and therewth to be fully sattesfied & payd and thereof and of every part & parcell thereof do fully clearely and absolutely acquitt exonerate & discharge the Inhabitants of Billerica their heyres successors Ex'ors administratours and Assignees forever by their prsent have given granted bargained sold aliened enfeoffed and con- firmd unto & by these prsents do fully clearly and absolutely give grant bargain & sell alien enfeofe & confirme unto the Inhabitants of Billerica aforesaid their heyres assignes & FIRST GENERATION 11 such others as shall from time to time be by them admitted as free denizens of the said place & to the enjoyment of the priviledges thereof all our respective rights & interest therein unto any part or parcell of the said land now called by the said name of Billerica als Shawshine with all the priviledges & appurtenances to the same apperteyning or in any wise belonging (only excepting & reserving our Joynt & respective interest that any of us have in the farme wherein John Parker now dwelleth comonly called by the name of the Churches farme (i, e.) the church at Cambridge with free liberty on all the comons of the said place for the Inhabitants on the said farme from time to time for the herbage timber & firewood as any other of the Inhabitants and a joint interest therein together with ye said towne & inhabitants thereof.)

This is the foundation upon which the Town of Billerica was started, and to this document the name of William Patten with others was signed. I here reproduce the document, so that his descendants may see his name as he wrote it. The name may be seen in the fifth column, about half-way down. He married before coming to this country Mary , who died Sept. 20, 1673. William Patten died December 10, 1668. He left no will, but on April 2, 1669, his wife filed with the court the follow- ing inventory of his property : His wearing Apparell. £ I Gray Coate coi I Strayte bodyed Coate ceo 1 Shagg'd Coate 135 ceo 2 pr Breeches ceo old cloaks, Jackctt, & wcscote 000 Shoocs & stockins ceo Shirts, bands, cuffs & handkerchiefs . . . 000 2 hatts 000 440 In yc Hall 2 Tables & a forme 000 5 old chayres oeo I cubbard & cubbard cloath 000 I small chest 000 s d CO CO 15 CO 13 00 10 CO 04 CO 03 CO 13 00 06 00 04 00 05 00 06 00 04 00 f '^'^'Sif- :1s .-.w ■^*>' ^ B >>*-.< • • '% .:,.,■,. ,jC /,...'.....

Rebecca Paine, of Dedham, April i, 1662, the daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Paine ; born October 19, 1642. She died May 19, 1680. He married second, Sarah Dunton, of Reading, May 20, 1686. Her name by some authorities is given as Didson or Ditson, but the name of Dunton is that given by the Billerica records. In 1654 Thomas Patten went to Billerica to live and resided there until his death. His house was west of Long Street, south of the Common, near the house of Francis Richardson. He did not seem to take an active part in the public affairs of the town, but he owned considerable land there at the time of his death. He also owned an interest in a sawmill near Patten ville. In the treasurer's accounts of the town for the year 1664, we find that Ralph Hill, Sen., and Thomas Patten are charged thirteen shillings each for " not traininge." Billerica being a frontier settlement, there was great fear of the Indians and much dread of an attack from them. In 1675 an order was passed by the selectmen and committee of the militia appointing garrison houses and assigning citizens to them. We make the following extract from the order : "5. They appoint Thomas Pattin's house for garrison & to entertaine Goldin Moore, Samuel ffrost, Jno. Kidder, Roger Toothaker & John Trull; seven soldiers & five families." In the same order overseers were appointed for each garri- son, whose duty it was to regulate the work of the garrison and determine what should be done for fortifying them. SECOND GENERATION 17 Orders were also issued putting strict regulations on the conduct of the citizens, and giving instructions as to what should be done in case of an attack by the Indians. A master was also appointed for each garrison, Thomas Patten being appointed for his house. He died January i6, 1690. His widow married for her second husband, Thomas Richardson, December 29, 1690. Just previous to his death he made a will which was as follows : " The last Will and Testiment of Thomas Pattin of Billerica, aged about fifty four, January 14th. 1689-90. " I, Thomas Pattin, being very weak of body, yet of perfect memory, and of a disposing mind do make & ordaine my last \vill & testiment, as followeth: Impr. I committ my poor immortall soul, into the hands of god that gave it, and my body to the earth, to a decent buriall, at the discretion of my executors, also I will that my just and due debts, may be forth with discharged, together with the charge of my funerall. and as for ye dispose of that little estate which ye lord hath lent me, I do thus dispose of it.

I do will that my wholl estate both personall and real be equally divided among all my children, (excepting only as abovesaid) only to ye eldest son a double portion.

William French, a grandson of Mehitable and William, was the celebrated victim of the " West- minster Massacre." As this was the result of the first organized resistance to the royal authority in the SECOND GENERATION 21 Colonies, he has been claimed by some to be the first martyr to the cause of American Independence.

Kendall, b. Apr. 20, 1689. 3. Nathaniel ' (William ') was born in Cambridge July 29, 1643; married Nov. 24, 1669, Rebecca Adams. She was the daughter of John and Anne Adams. John Adams is believed to be the sixth son of Henry Adams, of Braintree, one of the first settlers in the west part of Cam- bridge. She died Dec. 18, 1677. He married, second, Oct. 8, 1678, Sarah Cooper. She died and he married, third, Oct. 15, 1711, Sarah Hancock, who was daughter of Nathaniel and Mary (Prentice) Hancock and was born Aug. 23, 1667. He died at Cambridge, June 12, 1725. Nathaniel Patten seems to have been very prominent in town affairs, holding different offices at various times, such as field-driver, hog-reeve, surveyor of highways, and fence- 22 PATTEN GENEALOGY viewer for the " Menotomy feilds." In 1682 he was ap- pointed town constable, and in 1683 was chosen tithing-nian. Like his father, he did not always ask permission when he wished for lumber, for we find that in 1671 John Adams, Nathaniel Patten, Jonathan Dunster and Joseph Holmes appeared before the selectmen and were convicted of felling wood on the Common, and were fined los each for their default. In 1675 he was granted timber for a pair of wheels, and in 1677 ^^ was granted liberty to fell two trees for rails, and a tree for posts and a tree for a ground sill ; and again in 1682 he was granted six trees for ground sills for his house and barn, and a tree for clapboards for his barn, and two trees for his out fence. Several other times his name appears in this connection. In 1683 it is recorded that he went into the Common Swamp with others and found fifteen loads of wood cut without permit, and they brought the trespassers before the selectmen and they were fined. April 20, 1685, Abraham Holman and Nathaniel Patten were chosen " overseers of the flocke of sheep, for the pro- viding of a shepherd and foulding of the sheep and Carefully to Inspect them in all Consernes." He was again chosen to this duty in the following year. At this time he was interested in the alewife fishery, for we find that on April 13, 1685, the selectmen voted to " lett the ware to nathaniel Patten, the ware & feild for 305 the yeare and if the fish doth not Come up according to expec- tation the Selectmen promise to abate him what they shall see cause." Evidently the fish were not running well that year, for at the latter end of the year they agree to abate him ten shillings ; " & to pay twenty shillings for ye yeare past & twenty shilling for ye yeare befor." SECOND GENERATION 23 In 1686 the selectmen made choice of him to look after the gate at Notomie Bridge and the cross fence for the ensuing year, and he was to have the rent of the " ware " allowed him and was ordered to hang the gate by the first day of May. In 1693 it was voted to sell some of the Common lands to raise money to pay some debts due, and he was chosen one of a committee to attend to the sale. He served in King Phillip's War, being in Capt. Nathaniel Davenport's company. WILL OF NATHANAEL PATTEN OF CAMBRIDGE " In the name of God amen the thirty first day of December 1722.

According to Billerica records his first wife was named Abigail, for we find her death recorded as on July 20, 1 7 18. These records also state that he married Abigail Kittredge about 1720. She was the daughter of John KJttredge, and was born Nov. 15, 1700. She died Dec. 4, 1737. He must have married a third time, as at his death his widow is spoken of as Susanna. He lived in Tewksbury and died Dec. 14, 1770. His real estate was appraised and divided by a. commission who reported Jan. 8, 1 771. They valued it at £365 125 8(i, and divided what was left after they had set off the thirds to the widow Susanna into two parts : one part they assigned to Daniel Shed and wife Abigail, heirs of Sarah Twiss, wife of John Twiss, 32 PATTEN GENEALOGY and heirs of Hannah Rider, wife of Josiah Rider ; the other part they assigned to Mehitable Button, daughter of Kendall, Ephraim and Mary Frost, and Samuel and Rebecca Ober. As no mention is made of his daughter Elizabeth or his son Kendall or any heirs of them, it is to be presumed that they had died previous to this time, leaving no heirs. The widow, Susanna, died shortly after this, for we find that an inventory of her estate was made July 21, 1772, and filed in the probate court. He served in the French war as " Trooper."

He died probably early in the year 1727, as his widow was appointed administrator of his estate May 8, 1727. His widow married Joseph Hamilton, of Boston, May 2, 1728. Mar. 25, 1730, the heirs filed a petition for the estate to be appraised, as Sarah Hamilton had quitted her right of dower. His real estate at that time was appraised as follows : £ s The homestead containing one acre of land with one dwelling and shop . . . . . . - 150 One acre and a half of meadow in Charlestown . . 67 10 One half of two acre lot in Charlestown called Symmes meadow 33 Seventeen acres of pasture in Cambridge . . .120 A ten acre wood lot in Lexington . . . . . 45 415 10 This property was all to be dehvered to Joseph Russell, who was to pay each of the heirs the amount of money they would be entitled to as their share of the estate. This did not include all the property of Nathaniel Patten, as in addition to this he had his share in his father's estate. The above property was included in the inventory of his estate filed May 10, 1727, but we find that in the following July an additional inventory was filed which stated that it was his share of his father's estate. This consisted of: 34 PATTEN GENEALOGY One half of 12 acres at home . One half of 30 acres at Charlestown One half of 10 acres at reedy meadow One half of 15 acres of woodland .

William ^ {Nathaniel,'' William ') was born in Cam- bridge, July 12, 1676; married Abigail Willis, of Medford, Jan. 3, 1 701. She was the daughter of Stephen Willis and granddaughter of George Willis. George Willis was born in England in 1601, and was in Cambridge in 1637, where he was admitted freeman May 2, 1638. He lived to a good old age, for in 1687 we find him with others addressing a petition to King James II. (Hutchinson History of Massachusetts, Vol. I.). At that time Governor Androswas harassing the colonists by disputing their titles to their lands, on the ground that the Colonial Charter having been cancelled by the Court of Chancery, all grants heretofore made under it were invalid and of no effect. The address runs as follows : " The petition and address of John Gibson, aged about 87 and of 36 PATTEN GENEALOGY George Willow, aged 86 years, as also on behalf of their neighbours, the inhabitants of Cambridge in New England, in most humble w ise sheweth ; That your majestys good sub- jects, with much hard labour and great disbursements have subdued a wilderness, built our houses and planted orchards, being encouraged by our indubitable right to the soil by the royal charter granted unto the first planters, together with our first purchases of the natives, as also by sundry let- ters and declarations sent to the late governor and company from his late Majesty, your royal brother, assuring us of the full enjoyment of our properties and possessions, as is more especially contained in the declaration sent when the quo warranto was issued out against our charter. But we are necessitated to make this our moan and complaint to your excellent Majesty, for that our title is now questioned to our lands, by us quietly possessed for near 60 years, and without which we cannot subsist. Our humble address to our governor Sir Edmund Andros shewing our just title, long and peaceable possession, together with our claim of the benefit of your Majesty's letters and declarations assuring all your good subjects that they shall not be molested in their properties and possessions, not availing. " Royal Sir, We are a poor people and have no way to procure money to defend our cause in the law ; nor know we of friends at court, and therefore unto your royal Majesty as the publick father of all your subjects, do we make this our humble address for relief, beseeching your Majesty graciously to pass your royal act for the confirm mation of your Majesty's subjects here in our possessions; to us derived from our late Governor and Company of this your Majesty's colony. " We now humbly cast ourselves and the distressed con- THIRD GENERATION 37 dition of our wives and children at your Majesty's feet and conclude with that saying of Queen Esther, ' if we perish we perish.' " . . The revolution in England the following year, which removed the Stuart king from the throne, probably relieved the signers of the above petition from further apprehension of a disturbance of their titles by the Crown. Stephen Willis, the son of George, was born Oct. 14, 1644, and in early life removed to Braintree, where he married Hannah, daughter of Francis and Mary Eliot. He later removed to Medford, where his daughter Abigail was born Oct. 3, 1677. «At a meeting of inhabitants of Cambridge, held Mar. 11, 1100, for choice of town officers and other business, the following vote was passed : " William Pattin requesting of the Proprietors yt he might have halfe an Acre of land where his house standeth wch he is willing to purchase it was voted by ye Proprietors that he shall have that liberty and give what the sd Com- mittee above mentioned shall determine." At this meeting he was appointed fence- viewer ; and at the meeting held a year later, he was appointed surveyor of highways. William Patten lived in Cambridge until 171 2, when he removed to Medford. His wife died Feb. 19, 1725. He died Sept. 7, 1744. Children, bom in Cambridge: 21. i. William,'* b. Aug. 21, 1701. ii.

He was the son of Peter Sec- 38 PATTEN GENEALOGY comb and Hannah Willis Seccomb, and was born Aug. i6, 1711. He was the town clerk of Medford, and a book bound in brown paper and bearing his initials on the cover, containing a record of deaths in Medford kept by various persons, is still in existence. 22. iv.

Where he hved or whom he married is an uncertainty. In a cemetery at Willington, Conn., are said to be the following inscriptions: " Dea. Nathaniel Patten died Apr. 19, 1779, in his 77th year. Mrs. Ruth Patten, wife of Dea. Nathaniel Patten, formerly wife of Mr. William Johnson. Died Oct. 3, 1786, ae. 80." Mr. William Johnson, by the same authority, died June 2, FOURTH GENERATION 39 1774. A search of the Willington town and church records fails to throw any light on this matter. Nathaniel Patten seems to have been a favorite name. There were in Connecticut Pattens bearing this name, but I have not been able to get sufficient information on them to connect them with our line. In only one instance have I been able to get in communication with any of their descendants. If these are in connection with this line it would be, I think, through this one, who died in Willington. There was a Nathaniel Patten in Killingly, who married Anna Hutchins, Oct. 18, 1730. He had ten children whose births are recorded in Killingly. Children : i. Deborah, b. Sept. 7, 1733. ii. Jonathan, b. Nov. 18, 1733. iii. Anna, b. Nov. i, 1735. iv. Phebe, b. Aug. 31, 1737. V. Daniel, b. Aug. 10, 1739. vi. Mary, b. Mar. 14, 1742. vii. Nathaniel, b. Mar. 19, 1744. viii. Silas, b. Dec. 24, 1747. ix. Susie, b. June 19, 1751. X. Nathaniel, b. Feb. 27, 1754. * Of this family we know nothing further, except that the name of Nathaniel Patten appears on a subscription to hire a minister in South Killingly in April, 1735. At a later date there was a Nathaniel Patten in Norwich, and some authorities on Norwich history say he was of Cam- bridge. In a history of Norwich we find the following account of him. In May, 1774, " Nathaniel Patten, Book binder and Stationer from Boston," opened a shop " near the east end 40 PATTEN GENEALOGY of the plain," not far from Robertson's printing office. He proposed " to bind, gild and letter books in as splendid a manner as can be done in London." At the same time he qffered for sale the largest assortment of books that had probably ever been displayed in this part of Connecticut. His stock included works of Doddridge, Watts, Owen, Harvey, Rowe, Thomson, Smollett; Blair's " Grave," " Pilgrim's Progress," ^' Vicar of Wakefield," " Arabian Nights," Milton's " Looking Glass for Laity and Clergy," " New England's Memorial," " King Philip's Bloody War," Lord Somers's " Judgment of Kjngdoms and Nations," Hancock's " Oration, on the Bloody 5th of March, 1770," Rev. Mr. Sampson Ocean's much approved " Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs," and many other standard and popular works, besides school-books and works for children. Of stationery he had a great variety, and to this he added articles in the fancy line, which resembled the items of more modern days. ** A famous tincture for taking out stains Surprising excellent tooth-drops Venetian tooth-powder Imperial lip-salve A most curious eye-water A most excellent worm powder," etc. It would probably have been difficult at that day to find in any other place on the continent, out of the range of the great cities, a literary counter presenting greater attractions to the old and young of both sexes, than was furnished by the book shop of Mr. Patten on Norwich Green. Mr. Patten is reported to have left Boston on account of FOURTH GENERATION 41 the troubles with the mother country in which that town was so deeply involved. He is said to have left Norwich soon after this, but where he went is not stated. In 1796 a Nathaniel Patten, of Norwich, married Faith Foster. He was of the firm of Sterry and Patten. About this time there was a Nathaniel Patten in Hart^ ford, who was also a bookbinder by trade. In 1781 he sold in Newton to David Bemis land and buildings, being one-third of a paper-mill. In 1786 his name appears as one of the subscribers for building a new church in Hartford. He owned, in the First Church, pew No. 8, a large square pew on the side aisle. He was a man of considerable means and was a frequent advertiser in the Hartford papers of that time. I have been unable to learn anything of his ancestry. There is a tradition among his descendants that he came from Scotland with his father when ten yearsof age, and settled in Boston, following the printer's trade. He married July 18, 1784, Lucinda Hitchcock, daughter of Capt. Aaron and Experience (King) Hitchcock. She died Nov. 10, 1789. He married, second. Mar. 7, 1792, at Longmeadow, Sarah Burt, who was the daughter of Col. Nathaniel and Experience (Chapin) Burt. He died Aug. 7, 1834, at the age of 82 years. His wife died Nov. 13, 1846, aged 79 years. At the St. Louis Exposition his door-plate was used on the Connecticut State Building. Children : i. Experience, m. Aug. 3, 181 5, Fortune Clark White. ii. Lucinda, b. in 1785; d.

John "* (Thomas,^ Thomas,'' William *) was born Mar. 29, 1705, in Billerica ; married Elizabeth Frost, who was the daughter of Edmund and Hannah (Kittredge) Frost and was born Feb. 23, 171 7. She died Apr. 20, 1756. They lived in Tewksbury, but moved from there in 1753, to Shrewsbury, where they were admitted to the church in 1754. Children, born in Tewksbury, except one: i.

Joseph * {Thomas,^ Thomas,' William ') was born Sept. 26, 1710, in Billerica; married Jan. 8, 1735, Susanna Hill, who was the daughter of Samuel Hill. He lived in Billerica until 1743, when his name disappears from the tax-list. In 1762 he deeds, together with his wife Susanna, all the rights they have in the estate of Samuel Hill, of Billerica. This deed is witnessed by Alice and Mehitable Patten, and in it he gives his residence as Ship Island, Lincoln County. In the Lincoln County Registry of Maine, we find that this island is on the east side of the Sheepscot River, and that he purchased it of one Samuel Barter, in 1746. In 1753 he bought another small island or neck of land called Moors Island. In both these deeds he gives his residence as Newbury. In 1762 he deeds to Alice FOURTH GENERATION 43 Patten, tailor, his real estate consisting of Ship Island and two adjoining necks of land called Moors Island and Indian- town Island, together with two hundred acres of land, including two ponds, on the main land in the town of Booth- bay. When at one time a petition was presented for the forma- tion of a new county to be called Lincoln County, the name of Joseph Patten appears among the petitioners. In the first records of Lincoln County, pertaining to the opening of the first court in Pownalboro, in the list of justices present appears the name of Joseph Patten. In the Lincoln County Record in 1762 we find a list of mar- riages solemnized by Joseph Patten, J. P. Children, born in Billerica : i. Lucy,s b. Dec. i, 1735.

Nathaniel'* {Nathaniel,^ Thomas,'' William^) was born in Billerica, Sept. 10, 1707 ; married Mary Kidder, who was daughter of Enoch and Mary (Haywood) Kidder. They are thought to be the ones who were living in Oxford in 1729. Dec. 7, 1729, Nathaniel Patten, cooper, and Mary, his wife, convey land and mill in Oxford to Joseph Reed, of Leicester. The following year they convey land to Benoni Twitchell, also in Oxford. They are afterward reported to have gone to Windham, Conn., where their children are said to have been born, but on the Windham records the birth of Mary only appears. He afterward 44 PATTEN GENEALOGY went to Stafford, Conn., where he remained until his death. His grave and that of his wife may be seen there at the present time. He died Nov. 25, 1756. His widow married Nathaniel Woodward. She died Nov. 30, 1789, aged 88 years. At a court of probate held at Hartford, Sept. 5, 1757, the following entry appears: " It was certified to this Court by Zebulon West, Esq. Justice of Peace that Sarah Patten, a minor 13 years of age, Daughter of Nathaniel Patten, late of Tolland, deceased, before him made choice of Nathaniel Woodward of Coventry in the County of Windham to be her guardian which choice the Court allows." At the same court " Nathaniel Woodward of Coventry, administrator in right of his wife Mary, the Relict of Nath'l Patten, late of Stafford deceased, having settled their account of administration on said Estate then move to the Court for distribution." The decree of distribution gives " to the Rellict of said Dec'd now the wife of said Nath'l Woodward one third of the movable Estate, exclusive of Debts and charges and one third of the Real Estate for her Improve- ment during life and to Nath'l Patten, eldest son a Double share and to John Patten, William Patten, and to Mary Patten, Hannah Patten, and Sarah Patten, children of the deceased each of them a single share."

She died Sept. 16, 1747. He was a cooper by trade and died Oct. 10, 1747. An ap- praisal of his estate was made Oct, 28, 1747, and his personal estate was valued at £824 9^ od. For live stock he had one mare, five cows, one heifer, two calves, a yearling steer, twenty-one sheep, four swine, nine small pigs, three geese, and a swarm of bees. In 1754 a settlement of his estate was made by commissioners, who reported Feb. 4, 1754. They valued the real estate at £3,175. It consisted of 222 acres of land, and a pew in the meeting-house. This real estate, by a decree of the court, was assigned to the 46 PATTEN GENEALOGY sons William and Thomas, and they were to pay their breth- ren Isaac, Jonathan, David, Miriam, Sarah, and Mary their share of the estate in money.

Nathaniel " {Nathaniel,^ Nathaniel,^ William ') was born in Cambridge, Dec. 10, 1702. He married Mary . He went to Kilhngly, Conn., and was a housewright there in 1727. In a deed of land purchased there, he is spoken of as of Cambridge. He did not remain there, for on Feb. i, 1731, administration was granted on the estate of Jonathan Patten, late of Charlestown, to his brother Nathaniel Patten, late of Kilhngly, County of Windham, Conn., but now resident in Cambridge. He is said to be the one who owned a house at the corner of Mount Auburn Street and Brattle Square. In the deed given when he sold the property in 1755 his occupation is given as cooper. In a deed given in 1756 by Nathaniel and his wife Mary his residence is given as Watertown. Aug. 25, 1757, John Willson, of Newton, sells to Nathaniel Patten, Jr., late of Cambridge, a small FOURTH GENERATION 47 piece of land in Roxbury near the new meeting-house. Aug. 20, 1759, Samuel Gridley, of Roxbury, sells to Nathaniel Patten, of Roxbury, cooper, a small piece of land on the meeting-house hill adjoining land of Nathaniel Patten. This deed was not recorded until Sept. 30, 1790. The record of his family is very incomplete. In the history of Cambridge two children are mentioned, namely, Jonathan and Ebenezer. William Patten, who was the minister in Hartford, was the son of Nathaniel Patten, who lived in Roxbury, although the town histories assign him to Nathaniel Patten whose wife was Mary Kidder, but he did not live in Roxbury. Nathaniel, of Roxbury, also had a son Nathaniel, but nothing definite is to be found of him. He also had a daughter Mary, who married Thomas Hunt, of Stockbridge, Oct. 27, 1789. At a meeting held in Roxbury, Nov. 23, 1772, a letter was received from the town of Boston requesting a free com- munication of sentiments " on our common danger." This letter was considered, and a committee, of which Nathaniel Patten was one, was chosen to report thereon. The report, made Dec. 14th, '' made great uneasiness and very difl&cult to understand the true state of the vote and a number of the inhabitants withdrew from the meeting after which said report and letter of correspondence was read over again and accepted." The report was probably drawn up by the chairman, Isaac Winslow, Esq., whose conservative views led him to cast his vote with the loyalists. Three of the committee, one of whom was Nathaniel Patten, refused to sign the report. A Committee of Correspondence was then chosen, of which Nathaniel Patten was a member. In a book entitled " Interesting Family Letters," pub- lished by Rev. William Patten of Newport, in 1834, after the 48 PATTEN GENEALOGY death of his mother, we find several letters in which members of the family are referred to. In a letter from Nathaniel Patten, written in 1767, he says : " My son Nathaniel came in from sea last Sabbath." In a letter written Dec. 12, 1775, he says: " I am now going to remove the third time to make room for our friends the soldiers." June 28, 1776, he writes: "We have returned to our little habitation and have some of our children with us. Daughter P — is come from B — and is with us. My son Nathaniel is confined at Nova Scotia. The government will not suffer him to come away." On July 16, 1776, he again writes and says: ''The very seat of civil war — cannon balls often flying among us and into our houses. About the 19th of April we heard the British troops were coming out of Boston into the country on some hostile design. We thought it likely that they would destroy Roxbury, as they went along. We therefore in a hurry tumbled out what we could of our most valuable effects under fences, or where we thought they would be a little out of sight, as we had not time to remove them far. But it appeared their orders were to go to Concord, and destroy the magazine, and stores there. They went peaceably, until they got to Lexington, where they killed eight men ; and then continued to Concord, where they did some mischief, and killed one or two men. Then our people thought it high time to defend themselves. There were a few collected, some say 50 or 60 at fij*st, who attacked the King's troops with such resolution as made them retreat, and as they retreated, our people kept gathering, until they amounted to about three hundred, as I have heard some say, who were in the battle, that attacked the king's troops, at any one time, and yet they fled before our people, for the Lord was with them, and they could not FOURTH GENERATION 49 stand before them. How wonderful was it to see 500 men drive 2,000 veteran troops, for twenty miles, who had boasted so much what they could do with the Yankees. After this battle, in which they lost five hundred men, accord- ing to the best accounts we could get I thought they would not dare to come out again. I got our things into the house again, and staid until all the people had removed from the lower end of the town, a great many for near half a mile above us, still I thought there was no danger of their coming out ; perhaps they might take it into their heads to fire their cannon, and spoil our houses, but thought after the first shot or two we should have time to escape; but one night about nine o'clock, there was news that the troops were coming out of town ; my son came in and told his mother, he thought she had better get out of the way if she could; it was very dark and muddy and no horse to be got, they were all gone; so she was obliged to travel nearly a mile in the mud, which she had not done for seven years. After that she said she could not go home again — she could not run away if there should be occasion. Afterwards she was taken sick with a fever, and was nigh death, according to human appearance; but God had something more for her to do or suffer. Aften^^ard Jonathan and I staid until they fired their cannon balls into a number of houses, and one into our store and two more, one on each side. Since that every few days they fire into Roxbury, and have shattered some of the houses very much. After we were driven away, we went just up by the middle meeting house, and hired a store, and part of a house, so that we have as good accommodations as we can expect in these times. My son Jonathan is in very good business he is a setler for the army." Nathaniel Patten died July 5, 1790, and is buried in 50 PATTEN GENEALOGY the Eustis Street burying-ground. His estate was settled by Thomas Hunt as administrator. In March, 1790, we find that Nathaniel Patten obtained an execution against one Benjamin Hamilton, and to satisfy the execution he proceeded to take possession of a piece of land, and for that purpose appointed Jonathan Patten, of- Roxbury, as his attorney to act for him in the matter. In 1791 we find that Jonathan Patten sells two parcels of land in Roxbury ; one to Thomas Hunt and the other to Josiah and Nathaniel Ruggles. As no wife is mentioned in these deeds it is to be presumed that he was not married, or if he had been, the wife was not then living. Children : Jonathan, b. Nov. 26, 1731; baptized, according to church records, Aug. 12, 1744. 37. William, b. Mar. 11, 1738. Nathaniel and Mary ; we find no record of birth. There was a son Ebenezer, who was baptized July 22, 1750, at the house of Nathaniel Patten, according to the church records. As no further mention is any- where found of him, he probably died young. ig. LuxFORD * (John,^ Nathaniel ' William ^) was born in Cambridge, Mar. 31, 1704; married May 11, 1727, Rebecca Robbins, who was the daughter of Nathaniel Robbins. He inherited his father's house and died before May 17, 1730. His wife was appointed administratrix June 26, 1730. His real estate was valued at ;!(^i45. It consisted of a house, barn, and land at ;^7o, and two acres of land in Watertown and two three-acre lots at Cambridge Rocks. FOURTH GENERATION 51 Children, born in Cambridge : i. Mary ,5 b.

She died Aug. 14, 1731. He married, second, Mary Robbins, of Walpole, Apr. 12, 1732. She was daughter of William Robbins, of Dedham, and was born Nov. 6, 1709. In 1728 they were living in Stoughton. At the death of her husband Mary Patten was appointed administratrix, and on Mar. 7, 1769, filed an inventory of the estate. His property amounted to ;^246 65 id. It consisted, besides personal property, in the shape of provisions, furniture, etc., of one dwelling-house and sixty-two acres of land, by estimation valued at ;£i2o, and cattle as follows : one horse, and yoke of oxen, one small heifer and one yoke small bulls, four cows, nine sheep, four lambs, two swine, and fowls and geese, the whole of them being valued at ;i£29 185 Sd. When the estate was settled Mary Patten reports that she has on hand, after all debts are paid, the sum of ;gio4 165 ^d. In the order for distribution of the estate she is allowed £34 155 gd, and John, as the eldest son, is allowed a double portion, viz., £17 95 $d, and the other six children are allowed £8 145 Sd each.

She, like her sister, was fond of reading and given to writing letters old-fashioned and entertaining. Her husband was away at sea much of the time, and all the care of a large family devolved upon her. Her children did credit to her training. Four sons and three grandsons became clergy- men in the Episcopal Church. 39, vi. David, vii. Sibyl. FOURTH GENERATION 53 21.

Stephen * (William,^ Nathaniel,' William '), born in Cambridge, June 19, 1707. He married Dec. 10, 1735, at Amesbury, where he went to live, Mary Sargent. She was the daughter of John and Hannah Quiiiby Sargent, and was born Sept. 16, 1714. She was the great-granddaughter of William Sargent, who came to New England about 1631- He was one of the twelve who, with John Winthrop, the younger, commenced the settlement of Agawam, now Ipswich. His name appears in the Massachusetts Colony records as Wm. Srjeant, in an order protecting the grantees at Agawam. He was one of the first to settle at Newbury, in 1635. During the French and Indian War, in 1757, the Earl of Loudon was obliged to resort to impressment to raise an 54 PATTEN GENEALOGY army to attack Canada, and Stephen was impressed, but did not go, sending a substitute instead. He died at Newburyport, Mar. 25, 1761. His wife died Jan. 21, 1786. Children, born in Amesbury: i. Abigail,^ b. Sept. i, 1736; m. Dec. 24, 1761, Ephraim Currier. 41. ii. Willis, b.

John ^ (William,^ Nathaniel,'' William ') was born in Medford, Jan. i, 17 13; married Nov. 4, 1736, Priscilla Loring, who was the daughter of Daniel Loring, of Boston, and was born in Boston, Jan. 15, 1713. In 1743 John Patten and his wife Priscilla sign an agreement on the division of the estate of Daniel Loring. The occupation of John is given as that of hatter. Daniel Loring's dwelling, owned by Governor Leverett in 1679, his orchard, malt-house, mill- house, and wharf were situated on north side of Beach Street, opposite Coolidge's new church. The wharf was afterward called Jackson's Wharf. His son Nathaniel Loring was a partner in the brewery, and at his father's death he was bequeathed the principal part of the estate. In 1784 he died and gave the same to William Patten, his executor. To his sister Priscilla he gave two dwelHng-houses. In 1787 a fire in the malt-houses destroyed one hundred buildings, including the HoUis Street Church. A few years ago there appeared in the Boston Globe an account of this fire, from which I make the following extract. FOURTH GENERATION 55 " Boston's great fire of 1787, great for that day with its population of something like fifteen thousand, broke out in the evening of April 19th in William Patten's malt-house in Beach Street, and spread with great rapidity in a southerly direction, taking in both sides of Washington Street from Eliot to Common Street on the east. " The town had almost recovered from the effects of the disastrous fire of 1767, and the inhabitants had implicit faith in the efficiency of the newly organized fire department. They never dreamed that another such scene as they had witnessed at the time could be repeated in the town of Boston. " The following extract from a letter written by Doctor Belknap to his friend, Mr. Hazard, is the most interesting account of the fire extant. " ' Now, my dear sir, I will give you some account of the fire of Friday evening. I could, as is usual in such cases, tell you of what I did, where I went and how I worked and waded through the dock at low water, and all that, but I believe a general account, with a small plan or sketch will be as much as you will want to have. " ' I was on the spot the next day, and with my pencil marked its progress, a copy of which I will enclose. The wind was a dry northeaster and had prevailed two days, the houses, with only one or two exceptions, were wooden and shingled. '' ' It began in a malt house and had there been no wind the malt and dwelling house adjoining would have silently consumed without further mischief, and about one hundred legs of bacon that were taken to smoke would have been all the general damage. " * But the wind carried the flakes of fire over the dock into 56 PATTEN GENEALOGY some barns and dock houses adjoining to the main street and so rapid and irresistible was its progress that between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening it destroyed between 70 and 80 dwelling houses with Mr. Ebenezer Wright's rectory (Hollis Street Church) as far as there was anything to be burned and had the town extended 10 or 20 miles in that direction, and wooden houses in the way, dry as they were the fire would have been equally as extensive. No lives were lost though much substance. . . .' " April 25th, by an account taken by the selectmen, the loss sustained by the fire was 56 dwellings, 13 stores, a meeting- house, 8 barns, and 86 families burned out. Loss of property in round numbers, twenty thousand dollars. " Much praise was given to the inhabitants of Charles- town, Roxbury, Dorchester, Milton, Cambridge, and Med- ford ' for their very spirited and cheerful assistance with their engines on this occasion.' " The light given by the fire was so great that at Water- town a person's countenance could be plainly distinguished at a considerable distance. . . . " One result of the fire was to entail a great amount of hardship and suffering, and on the following Sunday com- mittees of the several churches in the town set on foot sub- scriptions, and the large sums contributed told of Boston's benevolence and liberality. Among others who contributed was General Lafayette, who no sooner heard the news than he wrote a letter of sympathy for Boston, and directed Samuel Beck to pay two hundred guineas on his account to the sufferers. A petition was sent to the General Court for relief, and several thousand dollars were appropriated by that body." I find no complete record of this family, but find that on FOURTH GENERATION 57 March 19, 1765, Priscilla Patten, widow, Sarah and Anna Patten, spinsters, Jonathan Patten, tailor, Daniel Patten, baker, William Patten, malster, all of Boston, deeded to Jonathan Patten, of Medford, shopkeeper, by quitclaim deed, " all the Right Property and demand whatsoever that we now have or ever may have by any way or means whatso- ever to the real Estate of our Hond. Uncle John Willis, late of Medford in the County of Middlesex aforesaid deed, yeoman whether being in Medford aforesaid or any other Place whatever together with all the Estate Right Title Interest Use Property Claim and Demand whatsoever of them the said Priscilla, Sarah, Anna, Jonathan, Daniel and William Patten which they now have or at any time hereto- fore had of in and to the aforementioned Premises with the appurtenances or to any part thereof or which at any time heretofore has been held used occupied or enjoyed as part or parcel of the same." It is supposed that the above persons were children of John Patten, who died in 1759 or 1760. Jonathan Patten, of Medford, had previously bought the interest of other heirs of John Willis, as on Apr. 23, 1764, Willis, John, and Stephen Patten, coopers, of Ames- bury, gave a similar deed to the one quoted above. On Feb. 7, 1764, Thomas Patten, a brickburner of Medford, and Mary, his wife, also gave Jonathan Patten a similar deed. In December, 1758, John Patten, with others, deeds to Benjamin Willis their interest in dower set off from estate of Thomas Willis to Susanna Willis, but, in August, 1761, Priscilla is spoken of as a widow. Priscilla Patten died Aug. i, 1798, aged 85 years. In her will, dated Sept. 13, 1787, and proved Sept. ii, 1798, she 58 PATTEN GENEALOGY mentions her son William and grandson Nathaniel, and names her daughter Sarah as executrix. Children : i. Sarah,' b. in 1738; d. unm. Apr., 1809, aged 71 years. ii. Mary, b. in 1739; d. Dec. 29, 1752, aged 13 years. 45. ill. "William, b. in 1750. Sarah, in her will dated Feb. 17, 1808, says : " I give and bequeath to my kinsman Nathaniel Patten, late of Roxbury, Ropemaker but now residing in Boston, twenty dollars and hope that he will consider the manner in which I remember his children in the same light of affection as if I had bestowed my worldly substance on him. This sum I order for him within one year after my decease and as much sooner as my executor may find convenient, I give and bequeath to my little namesake Sarah Patten, daughter of my kinsman above named One hundred dollars to be paid her when she becomes of age. I give devise and bequeath unto my trusty friend Robert Lamb of Boston Merchant all my Real Estate situate in Boston and bounded as follows; viz; Southerly on Beach Street, measuring sixty six feet, Westerly on land of John Jarvis, measuring one hundred and Eighteen feet, Northerly on Land of John Hoskins, measuring twenty seven feet, Easterly on Land of General Henry Jackson, measuring seventy three feet. Northerly on Land of said Jackson, measuring twenty one feet, and Easterly again on said Jacksons Land, meas- uring forty five feet, together with all the buildings thereon and all rights and privileges thereto belonging. To have and to hold to him the said Robert Lamb for and during the Life of my nephew Na- thaniel Patten aforesaid and after his decease to descend to the four after named Children of the said Nathaniel as tenants in common in equal and undivided shares, of one fourth part to each viz; To Nathaniel Patten Junior, Nancy Patten, Mary Burdick Patten FOURTH GENERATION 59 and Sarah Patten and to their heirs and assigns known as a fee simple estate. All the Residue of my Property after paying my debts and Legacies I give devise and bequeath to the aforenamed Children to be divided between them share and share alike." Nov. 17, 1808, she added a codicil to the will, in v^rhich she provides that " in case my Nephew Nathaniel Patten should die before the decease of his present wife I do hereby bequeath her the sum of One hundred dollars to be paid her yearly and every year from the time of my decease and so long as she shall remain a widow." In this codicil, also, she bequeaths her tomb in Chapel Church burying-ground to the children of Nathaniel Patten. 24. Aaron " (William,^ Nathaniel,'' William ') was born in Medford, Apr. i6, 1717; married Dec. 6, 1739, Jane Ordway, of Newbury. July 6, 1748, she was appointed administratrix on her husband's estate. June 18, 1759, James Ordway was appointed, she probably having died. On the same date he was also appointed guardian to the four children, Rebecca and Lois above fourteen years of age, and Isaac and William under fourteen. Aaron Patten was admitted to the Second Church in Amesbury, Nov. 15, 1741, and dismissed "to church where he now lived " in 1744. This was Newbury. Children : i.

As he is not men- 60 PATTEN GENEALOGY tioned in the appointment of guardians in 1759, he probably died young. iv. Isaac, b. Nov. 4, 1746. He lived in Newbury, where in 1768 he gave deed of land to Moses Emery, and his occupation is given as joiner. Later he went to sea, as in 1779 we find that William Patten, of Kingston, N. H., deeded to Joshua Morse, of Hopkinton, N. H., David Ordway and Isaac Patten, of Newbury, mari- ner, all his interest in land of his father Aaron Patten, late of Newbury. This is all that we find of him. 46. v. William, b. Jan. 27, 1749. 25.

They resided for a time in Andover, FIFTH GENERATION 61 where they were admitted to the South Church by profession of faith on Feb. 6, 1774. They afterward removed to Temple, N. H., and it is said they were the first ones to go there in a covered carriage. To reach there they were obliged to follow marked trees. Mar. 29, 1782, they were dismissed from the church at Andover and transferred to the church at Temple, in which place they had already been living for some years. He was a private in Capt. Henry Abbott's company, which marched on the alarm of Apr. 19, 1775, and served one and one-half days. He served on the Committee of Correspondence and Safety in Temple, in 1777. In that year he served for forty days at Ticonderoga. In 1781 he was one of a committee of three on the erection of the new meeting-house. In 1777 he served as tithing-man; also in 1782, 1785, 1791, and 1792. He died Oct. 23, 1807. His wife died Feb. i, 1834. Children, all but two bom in Temple, N. H. : i.

He graduated from Har- vard College in 1754, and received an honorary degree from Yale in 1759. He finished his collegiate education when quite young, having been admitted to Harvard at the age of twelve years. After graduation he taught school at Dedham, Mass., and pursued his theological studies there under the charge of Rev. Mr. Havens. He was licensed to preach and ordained at Halifax, Mass., Feb. 2, 1757, seven weeks before he was nineteen years of age. His predecessor FIFTH GENERATION 73 there was Rev. John Cotton. He remained there until Sept. 5, 1766, when, owing to ill health, he asked for a dis- missal. In 1767, owing to the ill health of Rev. ELnathan Whitman, who was settled over the South Church at Hart- ford in 1732, he was settled there as his colleague. Rev. Mr. Patten early showed a disposition for the ministry, as it is said that at the age of five years he composed a sermon on the first verse in the Bible which excited the surprise of his friends. From a history of the Second Church of Hart- ford, we learn that he was given a call Jan. 29, 1767. On Mar. 30, 1767, the following vote was passed by the society: " Voted ; That we will make and give to Rev. Mr. Patten, his heirs, etc., a lease for nine hundred ninety nine years, at the rate of one peppercorn per annum rent, of one acre of land belonging to this Society given us by Mrs. Ann Burnham, mother of Joseph Buckingham, Esq., late of Hartford, deceased, situate in said Hartford, lying South of the Meeting House of said Society; and said acre of land is that which lies next adjoining land the Society have leased out to Capt. Jonathan Seymour ; and also the sum of three hundred and fifty pounds, lawful money as a settlement, to be paid in a reasonable time, provided he agree to settle in manner as above said, and said sum we oblige ourselves to pay in labor and materials suitable to build a house, barn, etc. . . . pro- vided nevertheless, that if the said Mr. Patten should be called to any more public service, or shall of himself, or on his own account and default leave said society and cease from his work of the ministry among us, then, and in such case, he shall return to this society of the settlement we now agree to give him, in the manner as follows, viz.: If said Patten continues with us thirty years, no part of his settle- ment is to be returned ; if he leaves us at the end of ten years, 74 PATTEN GENEALOGY he is to return two thirds ; if at the end of twenty years one third of his settlement ; and we do agree that Mr. Patten shall have one acre of land to improve during his ministry, . . . next to his building lot." Mr. Patten was installed Sept. 23, 1767. In the intro- duction to a book entitled " Interesting Family Letters," his son thus speaks of him: " In person Mr. Patten was above the middle stature — he was well formed, and there was a remarkable dignity connected with ease and grace in all his movements — his countenance was manly, his eye intelligent, and expressive. His voice was clear and sonorous, full and distinct — every tone adapted to the sentiment he uttered. The attention of every one was immediately arrested and fixed when he spake. His sermons were strictly evan- gelical, and very instructive and impressive. In prayer he had uncommon gifts — consisting, principally, of scripture expressions, judiciously selected and embodied and very appropriate. He was a diligent reader, and eminent in the acquisition of knowledge, there being but few subjects with which he was not acquainted. He appeared to have an intuitive view of every thing to which he attended, so as not to require a teacher." His health failing him, he resigned his charge at Hartford, and in the fall of 1774 went to his father's house in Roxbury, where he died Jan. 16, 1775. A letter written by his father Jan. 24, 1775, says: " His remains lie with all the ministers that have been settled in Roxbury, since it was a town, and that have died in this parish." He married June 9, 1758, Ruth Wheelock, daughter of Rev. Eleazer Wheelock, of Lebanon. She was born Mar. 4, 1744. Rev. Eleazer Wheelock was founder and president of Dartmouth College and died Apr. 24, 1779. Her mother FIFTH GENERATION 75 was Sarah Davenport, daughter of Rev. John Davenport, the first minister of Stamford, Conn. He was son of Rev. John Davenport, founder and pastor of the first church in New Haven, and succeeded Wilson, Dec. 9, 1668, as pastor of a church in Boston. He was born in Coventry, England, in 1598, and died in Boston, Mar. 15, 1670. He was edu- cated at Oxford, and in 1630 was minister of St. Stephen's Church in London. The three daughters opened a school in Hartford which attained great celebrity; there were pupils from several of the West Indies as well as various parts of this country. Sometimes the school consisted of between two and three hundred pupils and perhaps thirty or forty were in the family as boarders. The brother George, after graduation from college, at first was inclined to a mercantile career, but gave this up and opened a school in a separate apart- ment from his sisters, taking charge of instruction of boys in literary branches and in the classics. When they closed their school in 1825, they could count up nearly four thou- sand pupils in whose education they had shared. In their school the time was divided between study, painting, em- broidery, and some needlework. Professor Thacher, of Yale College, in an article written for the Memorial History of Hartford County on his school-days in Hartford, says in part as follows: " Mrs. Patten did not engage in teaching at the time of which I speak. Even her daughters were well advanced in years. But I well remember their gentleness and gentility and a certain combination of cheerfulness and sobriety which characterized them. Their long service in the trying profession of teaching had not soured them. From my own experience there I should say that they were especially 76 PATTEN GENEALOGY conscientious in their quiet endeavors to awaken religious feeling in their pupils. They lived and taught in a plain mansion in Church Street, just west of the present site of Christ Church. The exterior of the house was not very inviting, but there is scarcely a more charming picture brought down in my memory from my childhood than the bright, cheerful apartment occupied as a sitting-room by the aged and still cheerful mother of this unique family. Her presence in it would have been enough to make it attractive to a child; but the slanting rays of the sun, the pots of flowers, and the Franklin fire, all have their place in the picture." " There was a brother in this family who was well known as a teacher for upwards of twenty years, during which period he had in all three thousand pupils. His school was known as a ' Literary Institution.' In its earlier years it was open to both sexes, but at the time I attended it, as I did for three months, the scholars were all boys, and only the ordinary branches of a boy's education were taught. Mr. Patten was educated at Dartmouth College, and fitted boys for college as well as for business during a part of his life in Hartford." His school was kept in a room in a building on the west side of Main Street, just above Asylum Street. When the brother died in 1830, it was the first death in the family for fifty-three years. Mrs. Patten was one of the founders of the Beneficent Society for the support and education of indigent orphan and neglected children. She was one of the first contributors to Williamstown College, to the Foreign Missionary Society, and to the Connecticut Bible Society. She died Dec. 5, 1831. The following are parts of the inscriptions on their graves in Hartford : FUTH GENERATION 77 " Rev.

She was the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Hurlbut. She was bom in New London, Dec. 12, 1769. William Patten took his degree at Dartmouth in 1783, and was ordained to the ministry May 24, 1786. He was settled over the Second Congregational Church at Newport, R. I., in 1786, and remained there about 48 years. In 1833 he retired and removed to Hartford, Conn., where he died in 1839. He was a fellow of Brown University and received from that institution the honorary degree of D. D. in 1807. He published several separate sermons, among them " Chris- tianity the Tme Religion," a reply to Thomas Paine's " Age of Reason " (1795), and " Reminisciences of Rev. Samuel Hopkins." His wife is said to have set up the first " ragged school," the precursor of the modern Sunday School, that was ever established in this country. She was assisted in this labor of Christian love by Miss Floride Calhoun, of South Carolina. Doctor Patten is represented as being a " distinguished SIXTH GENERATION 133 theologian, meek and lowly in heart, most kind and benevo- lent." In 1834 he published a book entitled " Memoirs of Mrs. Ruth Patten;" he also published one under the title of " Interesting Family Letters," being letters received by and written by his mother during her lifetime. He had a narrow escape from death during his last year at college. He was at his aunt's, and to get to church on Sunday it was neces- sary to cross a river much swollen by copious rains. Several of the party crossed in a boat, but William attempted to ford on his horse and lead the other horses, but in the middle of the stream he was thrown from his horse, and it was with much difficulty that he was rescued. After getting him from the river it was fifteen or twenty minutes before he could be brought to consciousness. Mrs. Patten died in Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 30, 1855. Children, bom in Newport, R. I. : i.

Moses '^ {Willis,^ Stephen,^ William,^ Nathaniel,' William ') was bom in Amesbury, Aug. lo, 1772. He was apprenticed to a hatter and worked as a young man at this trade. In the latter part of the century he made some trips of exploration to the Penobscot, and finally decided to settle there. He married Apr. 11, 1 801, his cousin Sally Whittier. She was the daughter of Col. Isaac Whittier, of Amesbury, who was a veteran of the Revolution. In November, 1801, Moses Patten with his brother Amos removed to Bangor, Me. Moses Patten was agent for the proprietors of the towns of Exeter and Corinth, and did much in promoting the settle- ment of those towns and of the valley of the Penobscot. With his brother he engaged in business in Bangor. They gradually extended their operations with good success until the troubles growing out of the embargo, non-intercourse, and finally the War of 181 2, checked their business career. The capture of Bangor by the British fleet finally swept away their personal property, as it did of most of those engaged in business at that time. Moses Patten was a selectman of the town, and with his associates arranged the terms of the capitulation, which was made to prevent the destruction of the town. At the close of the war they resumed business, and having a large part of their real estate still in their hands, they were able to retain their place among the leading firms of the State, which position they had held for nearly thirty years. They retired from business in 1828, but in the panic of 1837 they met with heavy losses. 140 PATTEN GENEALOGY In 1809 he was commissioned as coroner by Governor Gore; in 1816 he received a commission from Governor Strong as Associate Justice of the Court of Common Pleas and Sessions, which commission was renewed by Governor Brooks in 1819. He was the first Justice of Peace appointed by Governor King, the first Governor of Maine. He was selectman of the town continuously from 1806 to 1818. Upon the organization of the City of Bangor, in 1834, he served for two years on the Board of Aldermen. He died at Bangor, Nov. 27, 1864. His wife died May 27, 1855.

Nathaniel ^ {William,^ John,^ William,^ Nathaniel,' William^) was born in Boston; married Oct. 28, 1792, Nancy Scott. He was one of the original incorporators of the Boston Marine Society, In March, 1807, the ropewalk and stock of Nathaniel Patten were destroyed by fire. The matter being laid before the Massachusetts Charitable Association, a conmiittee was appointed to solicit subscrip- tions for his relief. This committee occasionally reported progress, and on one occasion reported subscriptions of $172 in cash and $60 in work. As his health was feeble the government voted $20 from the fund for his relief. The last report of the committee was that his health was re- established and no further appropriation was necessary. As has been shown in 1809, at the death of their aunt 146 PATTEN GENEALOGY Sarah, the property of their great-grandmother, Priscilla Patten, was left in trust to be divided among Nathaniel's four children at their father's decease. Under date of Feb. 14, 1822, Nancy Patten, of Franklin, Howard Co., Missouri, states that she is " entitled to the sum of one hundred dollars annually out of the estate, which was of the said Sarah Patten in her Hfetime, and whereas a certain lot or parcel of ground situated in said town of Boston was, by said last will and testament, given to Nathaniel Patten, Junior, Nancy Patten, Mary Burdick Patten and Sarah Patten and to their heirs and assigns, and whereas also the said persons are desirous of selling and disposing of the same," she appoints Henry Purkett and William Loring, of Boston, her true and lawful attorneys to attend to the same. June 12, 1822, Nathaniel Patten, a printer of Franklin, Howard Co., Missouri, appointed the same parties as his attorneys, and authorized them to sell the property on Beach Street. July 8, 1822, Isaac S. Nettleton and Nancy, his wife, of Spring- field, Indiana, also gave them a power of attorney. Sept. 21, 1822, they gave deeds of the property ; one for a third, being the interest of Sarah' Patten, a minor of Franklin, Howard Co., Missouri; one for a third, being the interest of Nancy and Isaac S. Nettleton, of Springfield j Posey Co., Indiana; and one for a third the interest of Nathaniel Patten. They also give a deed in which they quitclaim for Nancy Patten any interest she may have in the premises, and in this deed they state that Mary Burdick Patten had died, leaving no issue. He died previous to 1822, his wife surviving him. Children : i. Nathaniel,' bapt. at New South Church, Sept. 9, 1793. ii. Nancy, bapt. Aug. 23, 1795. SIXTH GENERATION 147 iii. Mary Burdick. iv.

Montague, formerly Dean of Columbian University, Washington, D. C, now presi- dent of Howard University, Birmingham, Ala., v^rrote in one of a series of articles entitled, " Pupils of Other Days," the following tribute to him: " Another pupil I recall distinctly, and with pleasure, blended with pain, Conrad M. Patten, son of a gentle- man and lady of fine social position, living then in Georgetown, now West Washington, was, if I may single out one from so many, the purest, cleanest young man I ever knew. A leader in his class, strong in mind, pure in heart, gentle, ever courteous, he was perhaps the first student of his time in the Columbian Uni- versity. He was a boy whom it was pleasant to teach, whom it was a privilege to know, whom it was an honor to love. Scorning deceit, he was never offensive in parading candor ; fond of fun, he was ever respect- ful and considerate of others; standing at the head of his class, he was a stranger to vanity ; faithful to his vows to God, he adorned the institution whose student he was. Going to Harvard, he stood there for all that he had stood for at Washington. While yet a Harvard student, in the bloom of young manhood, with the future beckoning him on to home joys, to a larger career in the world of which his college course had been happy augury, to service for the Master, he died. ' Beyond the serene and shining pathway of the stars,' he waits for those of us who loved him here; he EIGHTH GENERATION 227 serves there Him whose child he was here. Such souls, making earth brighter and happier, add sweet- ness to our hope of heaven, and, in moments of heart exultation, call us from the strife here to the peace there." ii. Juliet Craik, b.
