He is not in the Slave Schedule. The fact that Amanda and Samantha are out of normal age order, the fact that Amanda was born in Mississippi, and the fact that the last 3 children in the list are spaced 1 year apart in age suggest that the last 2 children might be orphans taken in by Jonathan. Such a flurry of childbearing by a woman in her early forties would be unusual. On the other hand, according to Shirley Drury Patterson, Elizabeth Paine's parents had moved to Mississippi by 1840 and by 1850 were living in Tishomingo Co., Mississippi, which adjoins Hardin Co., Tennessee. Elizabeth might have been staying with her parents when Amanda was born. And it is not clear whose children they would be if they are not Jonathan's.

In 1860 Jonathan and his wife are dead, and the unmarried children are dispersed. The columns line up perfectly in a fixed-width font.

Children

The following list of children is on pages 43-44 in an article by Shirley Drury Patterson in the Hardin County Historian (Volume 1, No. 3, July-Dec. 1997) entitled "Hinkle/Patterson Families of Hardin County, Tennessee". She says that the late Henry William Hinkle of Bartlesville, Okla. furnished the information on the names and marriages and that some have been confirmed by Hardin Co. marriage, cemetery, and census records. I believe that the existence of Joshua is doubtful.
