Notes.
Joseph Patchen-Patching came to America in the ship Hercules as second servant of Thomas Besbeech from Ashford, Kent, England. He settled first in Roxbury, MA, in a place called Newks, near Boston. Removed to Fairfield, CT by 1652 and testified as Joseph Sr.,age.56, in the Benfield case, May 1, 1666. .

*According to New England Historical and Genealogical Register, his first wife came from Biddenden, Co.,Kent, aboard the Castle, in 1638 with husband Stephen and children, of whom the former died on the passage. Another passenger died at sea and left money to Elizabeth for her care of him. *Jacobus, in The Families of Old Fairfield II part 9, p. 1077 states - New England Historical and Genealogical Register is wrong. Elizabeth Iggleden, not his (Stephen's) widow who came to New England. She came with children Jane, Sarah and John as members of the household of Thomas Besbeech of Ashford, Elizabeth Iggleden's son John became Joseph Patchen's stepson. .

*Since Elizabeth brought a son John with her and married Joseph Patchen, our suggestion that John 'Eggleden' of Fairfield was Patchen's stepson is probably correct. *On Oct. 29, 1646 _____Egheden, stepdaughter to Joseph Patchen about 10 years old "Dyed of a paine first in her head then in her back". New Eng. Hist. & Gen. Reg. v.65,p.187. *Rachel Biggs in her will dated Nov. 17 1646, recorded in Suffolk Co., MA, gives _____ to "poor.

Goodwife Hill and Goodwife Patching tenn shillings apiece." *"Goodwife Patchin, a poor old woman, " i.e., sick old woman" who joined Roxbury Church, Mar 16, 1649 may have been mother of Joseph. Yet his wife Elizabeth must have been considerably,perhaps a decade, older than himself, and in the view of that period a woman of 50 years sometimes qualified for the term 'old'. *Nov. 3, 1651, Benjamin Child witnessed a deed for ten acres and a halfe sold by Joseph Patchin of Roxbury to John Dane of the same town (Suff. Deed, 1:145, in Linzee's History of Peter Parker and Sarah Ruggles of Roxbury, MA, p. 382). *He removed to Fairfield by 1652, was granted a home lot 1655/6, and was one of four 'poor men'whose debts were forgiven by Dr. Pell in his will 1669 (this may have been for medical services). He was living 1689 when his son was still "Jr." *His second wife also testified in the Benfield case, 1666. Much of his property in Fairfield came into possession of the Edward Adams family, probably not by inheritance. Quite likely there was a relationship, but just what cannot be said; Patchen realty may have been turned over to the Adamses in return for Maintenance. .

*His two sons accompanied him to Fairfield, CT, by 1652 where he was granted the home lot on Jan. 29, 1655. In 1658 styled as 'Joseph Pachen, Sr.' and in list of Fairfield landowners from 1649-52. Bought land Apr. 22 and Apr 28, 1658, July 12, 1666, Oct.3, 1672, Oct.4, 1672, May 11, 1681, NOv.9, 1684 (land holder in Stratford CT from Dec.1668-71). Sold land Apr 23, 1671.

Oct 3 and 4, 1672, May 23, 1676, Feb.24, 1681. The title Jr. does not appear until after 1681 when Joseph, SR. sells and disappears from the records. Then Joseph Patchin sells land jointly with Joseph Middlebrook, one acre, 1686. *Schenck's Hist. of fairfield, CT, p.329, No. VI, mentions Joseph Patchin; 334, 1670/1, Patchin, Sr., 4 and 3 acres; 337, grant of part of Old Indian field, 8 acres, Joseph Patchin; 339, division of lots at Compo Neck, Lot #76, 60 acres, Joseph Patchin; 346, Jacob Patchin freeman Mar. 1689/90. .

*Joseph Jr., 1680 was apointed to sweep the meeting house. Inventory Dec. 10, 1689; estate insolvent; no land; clothing and tobacco at house of Nathan Adams; administration granted to Jonathan Morehouse. (Fairfield Probate Records, v.3:299.) Henry B. Betts of Danbury, wrote Aug.16, 1911, "In last issue of the (Hartford) Times, a correspondent familiar with Fairfield.

Records, says - Also repeated references (land Rec.) show that the second Joseph (Patchen) who was unmarried and not bright, died at the home of Nathan Adams and the Adams families took his estate." .

*On Oct. 26, 1692, Robert Sillman and Nathan Adams exchange land, lots to run back to land once the property of Edward Adams and Joseph Patchen, both deceased, now owned by Nathan Adams - Fairfield L.R.,v.A:355. Abraham, Nathan, Daniel, David and John Adams and Luke Guire, son-in-law of Edward Adams, divide land of Edward Adams and Joseph Patchen. - Ibid.,v.3:227..

Jan.21, 1713/4, have land laid out to Joseph Patchen and agree to divide part of long lots that were Edward Admas and Joseph Patchen's - Ibid., v.B:136. *Joseph Patchen, Jr. hath made application to the Townsmen, Apr. 27, 1681; he hath a house and land in Fairfield but wants Town help in improving same. -Ibid.,v.B:136. .

*Town paid for his funeral expenses, and on Dec 10 1689, estate pronounced insolvent, but on Oct.26, 1692, when James Everts buys land of Joseph Patchen, SR., now land of Nathan Adams, one of the boundaries is the 'land of Joseph Patchen, Jr., deceased, now the land of Nathan Adams,'.

'no lands' on probate record. Everts buys 1/2 acre of Joseph Patchen's home lot, bounded on the north by the Milne Pond, formerly land of Joseph Jr., deceast. Rebecca, wife of Daniel3 Samuel2 Edward1 Adams may have been daughter of John Cable, if so, then aunt of Margary and Abigail.

Cable, who married grandsons of Joseph Patchen, Sr. Also, decendants of Thomas Morehouse married into the Patchen family at least fourteen times.

*Sometime before Oct.4,1672, Jonathan, son Thomas Morehouse, purchased from Joseph Patchen,Sr., his house on Wolf Pit Plain which sometime had Pretayned to Thomas Morehouse. By Mar.22, 1681, he had purchased from Joseph Patchen, Sr., all his interests within the bounds of Fairfield.

*The first Wolfpit Plain was Sea Side Park formerly owned by the Sasquam Indians. [end quote] EDV-10.
