DAVID WILLIAMS PATTERSON was born July 15, 1824, and died November 18, 1892. He was born in Union, Broome county, and died in Newark Valley. He was a son of Hon. Chester Patterson, a native of Richmond, Mass. His grandfather, Amos Patterson, was one of the original "Boston purchasers," and went to Broome county in 1786 with Colonel Pixley and Captain John Raymond to select the ground. The Patterson family followed in February, 1793. Chester Patterson was sheriff of Broome county. 1809-12 and also represented the state legislature in 1819-21 and was a presidential elector in 1824. Chester moved to Newark Valley in 1839, where he died September 22, 1857. The ancestry of the Patterson family on both sides is traced back to and before the Mayflower days. Dr. Patterson received a common schOol education and studied dentistry at Rochester, and commenced its practice at West Winsted, Oonn., in 1846. He married June 8, 1853, Helen Maria, daughter of Otis and Sarah (Slosson) Lincoln, of Newark Valley. There are four children: Anna, Lincoln Elliott, Sterling Woodford and Ralph Thacher. Dr. Patterson returned to Newark in 1865, abandoned dentistry and devoted himself to the study of American genealogy. He compiled thirty complete family genealogies besides innumerable works of lesser importance. Of these the most important are the Whitney family genealogy upon which he was engaged seven years, and the history of the Boston purchase, unpublished and now in possession of the Connecticut Historical society. "During the past forty years there has been no genealogist in America whose work stands so absolutely unquestioned. He was considered final authority on expert genealogy."

David married Helen Maria LINCOLN on 08 Jun 1853. Helen (daughter of Otis LINCOLN and Sarah SLOSSON) was born on 08 Jun 1832 in Newark Valley, Tioga, New York, USA; died on 29 Apr 1915 in Newark Valley, Tioga, New York, USA; was buried in Hope Cemetery, Newark Valley, Tioga County, New York.
