Series V. Miscellany contains a collection of items pertaining to either John Patch or Emily Goodwin Patch. The large majority of these items are undated fragments and excerpts for which context or origins are unascertainable; however, several items were authored by Emily E. Patch, John Patch's sister and Emily Goodwin Patch's aunt. Series V also includes detailed genealogical notes; the notes' authors and dates of composition are largely unspecified, but they do provide extensive insight into the Patch family's lineage. One packet of notes was copied from the Historical and Genealogical Parish Register of South Petherton, Co. Somerset, England, outlining the Patch family's roots going back to 1575. The majority of the dates contained are for baptisms dating through 1678. Also of note is a brief account of John Patch, born in Beverly, Massachusetts in 1699 to James and Sarah Balch.
