The first patent (#306727) for "Peanut Butter" was given to Marcellus Edson of Montreal, Quebec, Canada on Oct. 21st, 1884. This patent actually considered the paste to be used in the production of candies. John H. Kellogg patented a device to make "nut butter" on April 13th, 1897 (#580787). But the actual origin of ground peanut paste dates back to the Incas, who were known to have ground peanuts into paste as early as around 950 B.C. The doctor in question was said to have convinced George Bayle Jr. to package and sell his peanut paste around 1890, placing it after the Edson Patent.
