2) John Patton, b. ca. 1769, was also a son of Thomas Sr. (742). John first appears on tax lists in 1790 in the household of Thomas Patton. He married 8 May 1793 Barbara Rains in Montgomery Co Va. (67) In 1804-05 he is shown on tax lists as living on John's Creek, near his brother Thomas Jr. In 1810 John Patton (b 1766-84) is found in Montgomery Co. with a large family. (41110- 41110); he is listed immediately after Thomas Patton. John is on the 1811 Montgomery tax list. In July 1810 John and Barbara Patton (wife) sold two tracts to John Wygle, suggesting they were moving away. He is not found in the 1820 Montg. census; a John Patton (b 1780's) was living in 1830 in Wythe Co. Va. There was also a Barbara Patton here, born in the 1770's; she had a good sized family and could well have been the widow of John. However, we also find in 1840 a John Patton and wife, both born in the 1760's, living in Jackson Co Tenn right next to David Patton, son of Thomas Jr. This argues that John went to spend his last days next to family. It is quite clear that we have yet to learn a good bit about the family of John and Barbara Patton!
