Notes:
Joseph Patchin-Patching came to America in the ship Hercules as second servant of Thomas Besbeech from Ashford, Kent, England. He settled first in Roxbury, Mass., in a place called Newks, near Boston. He removed to Fairfield, Conn. by 1652, and testified as Joseph Sr., ae. 56, in the Benfield case, May 1, 1666.
According to New England Historical and Genealogical Register, his first wife, Elizabeth Iggleden, came from Biddenden, Co., Kent, on the ship 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 that the New England Historical and Genealogical Register is wrong. Elizabeth Iggleden who came to New England was not the widow of Stephen. Elizabeth Iggleden came with children Jane, Sarah and John as members of the household of Thomas Besbeech of Ashford, and Elizabeth's son John became Joseph Patchin's stepson.
Since Elizabeth brought a son John with her and married Joseph Patchin, our suggestion that John "Eggleden" of Fairfield was Patchin's stepson is probably correct.
On Oct. 29, 1646 ___?___ Egheden, step daughter to Joseph Patchin 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., Mass., 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, March 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, Mass., 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 of 1669 (this may have been for medical services). He was still living in 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 we cannot say; Patchin realty may have been turned over to the Adamses in return for maintenance.
His two sons accompanied him to Fairfield, Conn., by 1652 where he was granted the home lot on Jan. 29, 1655. In 1658 he was styled as "Joseph Pachen, Sr." and was in list of Fairfield landowners from 1649-52. He 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, Conn., from Dec. 1668-1671). He sold land Apr. 23, 1671, Oct. 3, and 4, 1672, May 23, 1679, '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 History of Fairfield, Conn., p. 329, No. VI, mentions Joseph Patchin; 334, 1670/1, Patchin Estate, 60-195 acres; 336, building lot and pasture to Joseph 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.
Sometime before Oct. 4, 1672, Jonathan, son of 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 Patchin, Sr., all his interests within the bounds of Fairfield. The first Wolfpit Plain was Sea Side Park formerly owned by the Sasquarn Indians.

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 The New England Historical and Genealogical Register is wrong.

Notes:
Mary Morehouse is believed by some to have come to American in 1638 from Biddenden Co, Kent aboard the ship "Castle" together with her husband Stephen and children. Stephen died during the passage. There is disagreement among researchers as to whether Jacob was the son of Mary or the son of Joseph's first wife, Elizabeth. The Patchin/Patchen Society has Jacob as the son of Mary while LDS Church has him as the son of Elizabeth. Some researchers have Mary as being born in 1638 in Biddenden, Kent, England but this would make it impossible for her to have come to America with her husband in that year.

(see note for Joseph's second wife, Mary Morehouse.)
Notes: Joseph, Jr., 1680, was appointed 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."
Oct. 26, 1692, Robert Silliman and Nathan Adams exchange land, lots to run back to land once the property of Edward Adams and Joseph Patchin, 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 Patchin.-Ibid., v. 3:227. Jan. 21, 1713/4, have land laid out to Joseph Patchin and agree to divide part of long lots that were Edward Adams and Joseph Patchin's.-Ibid., v. 3:395.
Joseph Patchin, 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 Patchin, Sr., now land of Nathan Adams, one of the boundaries is the "land of Joseph Patchin, Jr., deceased, now the land of Nathan Adams," "no lands" on probate record. Everts buys 1/2 acre of Joseph Patchin's home lot, bounded on the north by the Milne Pond, formerly land of Joseph Patchin, Jr., deceast. - Rebecca, wife of Daniels Samuel 2 Edward' -Adams may have been daughter of John Cable, if so, then aunt of Margery and Abigail Cable, who married grandsons of Joseph Patchin, Sr. Also, descendants of Thomas Morehouse married into the Patchin family at least fourteen times.

Served in King Philip's War in 1676 under Capt. Samuel Wadsworth and Capt. John Holbrook. His daughter Sarah Marcy was a grantee in 1733 of Narraganset No. 4 for his service.
Will for James Hadlock, Sr of Salem at http://www.essexcountyma.org/wills/hadlockj.htm lists son James. This seems to be his uncle, as there are records of James consistantly at Salem. Jacobus theorizes that James(1) had a brother Nathaniel of Charlestown. Nathaniel's widow married Roger Draper, who may have been a cousin of Sarah's father James. Savage's completely confused the two: JAMES, Roxbury, m. 19 May 1669, Sarah Draper, had Sarah, b. 16 Dec. 1670, rem. to Salem, there had, in 1678, w. Rebecca, d. prob. of Richard Hutchinson, wh. he m. May 1658, unless the numerals in Essex Inst. II. 150 and 1, be wrong, as they prob. are; s. James, and John, ds. Mary, Hannah, there said to be b. July 1657; Sarah, Sept. 1659; and Rebecca. But possib. he had some of these by ano. w. for the will of Hutchinson, 1682, calls him s.-in
