Background

The following Patten's (and variations were listed in the 1800 Ohio Territorial Census. All were present in Washington County, confined to several communities along the Ohio River. The census was unique in that it included first an identification of the Head of Household, and then a list of the men over 21 in that household, including the HOH. It may be that the second list was collected for local purposes such as a tax list, or perhaps to identify men who could bear arms on the frontier.

Some households were surveyed twice, apparently on different days, and their are a number of duplicate entries, with slight differences in the household composition. Some HOH were left blank. Those entries may be where the HOH was a woman, but there are also some households where a woman is listed as HOH, but not included in the liftoff men over 21.

Isaac PattenNewtownWashingtonHousehold of Benjamin Green, with Richard Pitar, Samuel Elliot, John Patten,Ancestry trees consistently identify him as the son of William Patten=Jane Southard. Line traces to William Patten 1660-1715, who died in Somerset MD,with nuermous sons; Data on this lineage is fairly consistent, but there seems to have been a lot of local movement from MD to DE, to NJ, some which can be confirmed independently, some of which has not yet been confirmed.

Apparently the sheriff visited the household on two separate dates, and a slightly different set of persons were living there on those dates.

John PattenNewtownWashingtonHousehold of Benjamin Green, with Richard Pitar, Samuel Elliot, Isaac PattenJohn Patten appears in the same household as Isaac Patten, and so we might guess that he's a kinsman of Isaac. Currently, the only obvious kin would be John Patton 1752-1839; That John Patton, however, seems to be well documented through census records as living in Fayette Co PA in the 1790-1830 census records, including an 1800 census record. He seems to have settled down in Fayette well before the 1800 census, and it seems unlikely that he could be the John Patten appearing in Washington Co OH in 1800 census.
