Mrs. Patten came of several Revolutionary stocks, being the daughter of Simon Newcomb Pratt and his wife, Deborah Isabel, daughter of Joseph Nelson, Jr. (Joseph, Sr., and wife Isabel Rogers), and wife Mary, daughter of Lieutenant Daniel McCleary and wife Elizabeth Savage, the latter a daughter of Captain John and Eleanor (Hamilton) Savage, of Salem, New York.
Mrs. Patten was the ninth in descent from Joshua Pratt, who came from England to New England in the ship Ann in 1623. Joshua Pratt was one of the surveyors who laid out the village of Plymouth, Massachusetts, receiving as compensation for his work one peck of corn a day. Her great-grandmother,
Isabel (Rogers) Nelson, was a lineal descendant of the Reverend John Rogers, the martyr, who was burned at the stake at Smithfield, England, February 4, 1555, the first Protestant martyr in the reign of Queen Mary of England. Her brother
was the Reverend John Rogers who in 1767 succeeded the Reverend Thomas Clark as pastor of his church at Cahans, near Ballibay, County Monaghan, Ireland, and was pastor of the church for nearly fifty years.
