Life Sketch

Nathaniel * (William J ) was born in Cambridge July 29, 1643; rnarried 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, 1 71 1, 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- viewer for the " Menotomy feilds." In 1682 he was ap- pointed town constable, and in 1683 was chosen tithing-man. Like his father, he did not always ask permission when he wished for lumber, for we find that in 167 1 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 105 each for their default. In 1675 he was granted timber for a pair of wheels, and in 1677 he 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." 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.
