1840 Marion County, OH census / Marion City - pg 9 Patten, Richard 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 30-40, 1 female 5-10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 30-40 [This looks to be an error; There is a Richard Patten in Marion Twnship, in 1840, but he was born 1800-1810. That's a bit far off to assume its Richard born 1786.
1851 Marion County, OH census / Marion City Patten, Richard [This looks like an error; There is a Richard patten in Marion Co in 1850 census, but he's married to a Susan, not a Lucy, and DOB is about 1800. There's another Richard Patten in Gilead that could be our irchard, as this one is born 1790-1800 and could conceivable match up with Richard born 1787--wife is age 30-40, implying a DOB of 1810 to 1820 which is a bit old to be Lucy b 1803
