DavidPatten was the son of Benenio (Benoni) Patten and Abigale Edith Cole, and was born in Theresa, New York.
David traveled to Indiana to investigate the church and was baptized by John Patten on June 15, 1832.
DavidPatten became one of the original apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on February 15, 1835, receiving his ordination from Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin Harris, jointly known as the Three Witnesses.
As there was confusion over David W. Patten's birth date, Thomas B. Marsh was identified as the eldest of the Quorum and so designated Quorum President.
After these men were released from their positions, Thomas Marsh was named as President of the LDS church in Missouri, with David W. Patten, and Brigham Young, as Assistant Presidents, on April 6, 1838.
David W. Patten, the second apostle in the Quorum, was among the church members killed.
