Jospeh was not a patriarch because he is not the progenitor of the people. The nation was composed of the members of all the tribes, not just Joseph, so none of the brothers is on the level of patriarch but the father of ALL the tribes is.

Ah, yes, I found where these matriarchs are mentioned in Genesis. I remember the story of Rachel from a childrens' Bible I read when I was a kid so at least that rings a bell.
