Josiah S. Fowler (1846-1896, Los Gatos) inherited 240 acres near the Santa Cruz Mountains summit from his father - either Joseph (Find-a-Grave) or Jacob (Powell). The ranch was on the road from Santa Cruz to San Jose near where it crossed Summit Road, and the house hosted the first post office in the community that later became "Patchen". The best-know resident of the area was "Mountain Charley" McKiernan. The community of Patchen is gone, but the name "Patchen Pass" persists.
