Hi again. I just found more confirmation of my theory from e-mail I just sent you. On the l860 Powell Co., KY census, there is the following entry: Charles Patton 30 yrs old M KY Lois 58 yrs old F William 5 M KY This Charles Patton must be your Charles Patton who married Letty Jane Anderson in l868. Notice that the Lois shown here is our Lois b. l802, the daughter of Charles Patton and Ann McCoy. She must have been living with her son - evidently Charles Patton b. l798 was already deceased. I did find a record of a death for a Charles Patton in l842. Note also that the William shown is the same age as your William Harrison Patton b. l855 in Powell Co., the son of this Lois Patton and what I believe to be the Charles Patton b. l798 in Clark Co., KY. Lois did marry a William Dewitt in l832, so she was evidently a widow again. Joan
