James married Mary Sisler on 30 Mar 1820 in Bedford Co., PA. James and Mary had 10 children they named: Rachel, Mary E, Isabella, Infant Child (unnamed), James, Elizabeth, John, Abner, Samuel Jack and Josiah Patton.
The Butler Co., PA historical society has the records of their burial in this cemetery taken during an inventory of the cemetery in 1970. They also say a "Infant Child" was buried with them with no marker, name, etc.
A search for James' grave marker during July 2011 did not find his gravestone. This cemetery is in a wooded brushy area. The search found only 4 markers and 3 were legible. None had the name Patton.
