The Patten genealogy is quite expansive in its 290 pages, as it presents known descendants of William Patten of Cambridge down through nine generation. Published in 1908 it lacks the source and quality control of more recent professional genealogies, but still provides Patten descendants with plenty of material for their genealogical research.
William Patten settled early in Cambridge, Massachusetts being first mentioned in town records on 13 Mar 1635/6. He is treated in Robert Anderson's Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, vol. V, M-P, pages 384-386 which largely agrees with the material in this manuscript except that William's origin has since been determined to be Earls Colne, Essex, England. Early descendants of William Patten resided in Amesbury, Billerica, Cambridge, and Tewksbury, Massachusetts; as well as Killingly, Stafford, and Windham, Connecticut and Lincoln County, Maine.
