Joshua A. Patten Jr. is the son of Mary A. Brown and Captain Joshua A. Patten. Mary and the Captain's story is recounted in "The Captain's Wife" by Douglas Kelley, 2001. The Captain took ill on their voyage around South America from NY to San Francisco, plus there was a mutiny. Mary, age 19, took charge, gave orders, and the ship made it intact to S.F. with all their cargo. She discovered she was pregnant on this trip. Nursing her ailing husband, they returned to NYC by way of Panama and its railway. Finally back in Boston, she gave birth to Joshua Jr. Four months later the Captain died.

Joshua Patten, an inmate of the city almshouse, Rockland, lost his life, by drowning, Monday, in the mill pond. Patten was subject to fits and while attending to some work on the premises, near the bank of the pond was suddenly taken with one and fell into the water. A boy who was with him at the time gave the alarm, but before help arrived life was extinct. Patten was 41 years old, and leaves no relatives.
