Joseph Patten was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, July 23, 1830. His parents, 
Hugh and Jane (Nesbut) Patten, were both natives of Kentucky, and the former 
was born in 1795. Hugh Patten spent his life on the farm where he was born and 
died at the age of seventy-one years. Joseph grew to manhood in the county of his 
birth, attending for a time the common subscription schools, but the principal 
part of his education has been obtained by self application. He came to Missouri 
in September, 1858, and in April, 1859, located in Henry County, where he 
purchased land and improved the farm upon which he now resides. He sold 140 
acres of his original farm to the town company for the town site in 1870, and has 
at present 150 acres well improved, with the exception of seventeen acres of 
timber. There are seventy acres devoted to tame grass. His large residence is 
located in the suburbs of the city, in connection with which is a good barn, out 
buildings and an orchard. Mr. Patten was married in Callaway County, Missouri, 
December 23, 1858, to Miss Louisa West, a native of St. Louis County and a 
daughter of Alvin West, of Kentucky. Her mother was born in Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. 
Patten are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, of which he has been 
an elder since 1866.
