==Early Life==
Timberlake was born in Fort Greble, Dutch Island, Newport County, Rhode Island on Christmas Day, 1901. His family had a strong military tradition, with several West Point graduates. His father, Colonel Edward J. Timberlake, U.S. Army, USMA Class of 1893, played for West Point in the first Army-Navy football game in 1890. Col. Timberlake had four sons and all graduated from West Point. The second youngest, J. Coleman Timberlake, died in 1938 at age 32, but Patrick and his three brothers carried on the family’s military tradition in notable style. His brother, Edward J., was also a decorated Air Force lieutenant general who served in World War II; the oldest son, Edward, was an Army brigadier general.
