Robert Mayne Patterson was born on July 17, 1832 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States. His parents, John and Margaret (Mayne) Patterson, were natives of the north of Ireland who had come to America early in the eighteenth century.
Robert Mayne Patterson graduated from the Central High School of Philadelphia in 1849, served as official reporter for the United States Senate, 1850 - 1855, and for a time studied law. Turned to the ministry largely by the desire of his parents, he attended Princeton Theological Seminary, graduating in 1859.
In 1859 Robert Mayne Patterson was ordained to the ministry by the Presbytery of Philadelphia. In the next forty-seven years he served only two churches as pastor--Great Valley Presbyterian Church, Chester County, Pennsylvania, 1859 - 1867 and 1881 - 1906, and South Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, 1867 - 1881. His ministry was marked by acceptable preaching and faithful pastoral work. While he was in charge of South Church the membership greatly increased, a burdensome debt was paid, and the building was remodeled. During his second pastorate in Great Valley the church erected a new edifice. When, in 1906, ill health caused his retirement, he was made pastor emeritus, a distinction which he held until his death after a long illness, five years later.
The activity which made Patterson most widely known was his editorship of two religious weeklies, The Presbyterian, as associate editor, 1870 - 1880, and The Presbyterian Journal, as editor, 1880 - 1893, each published at Philadelphia. His increasing familiarity with church laws and doctrines, which his articles and editorials disclosed, and the character of his many books led to his being called to take a prominent part in the deliberations of the Church throughout the country. In presbyteries and synods and in the General Assembly, his knowledge of ecclesiastical law was continually in demand. He was sent by his presbytery to thirteen sessions of the General Assembly. In 1880 he was a member of a special committee appointed to prepare a plan for consolidation of the synods and for enlargement of their powers. At different times he also served on six other special committees and commissions of the Assembly. He was a member of the Pan-Presbyterian Council at London in 1875, at Philadelphia in 1880, and at Belfast in 1884.
For many years, also, Patterson was one of the members of the Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work. Of his books, which totaled nearly thirty, several were biographical, including The Character of Abraham Lincoln (1865), Elijah, the Favored Man (1880), and William Blackwood (1894); four were local or general church histories, culminating in American Presbyterianism (1896); a number were polemic; and most of the remainder dealt with Christian instruction and church methods, of which Church Extension in Large Cities appeared in 1880 and The Angels and Their Ministrations in 1900.
He died on April 5, 1911.
