In the 1830 census there was a male born 1820/25. This individual was not in the 1840 census. It is not known if he was gone, died or was not Joseph's son. He was not mentioned in the 1883 Circuit Court Case # 2463, so he was not a son of "Patsy" or he had no issue. It is now believed that he was not Joseph and Patsy's son.
