L. (YOACHUM) PATTERSON

Does anyone have info on an L. Yoachum born abt 1828 in Kentucky? There is a record in the 1850 census for Thomas Patterson and wife L. Patterson which shows her as being age 22 in 1850 (Taney MO). I believe her maiden name is Yoachum because there are two children living with them noted as follows: L. Yoachum age 15 and M. Yoachum age 13. I'm not sure how they are related but based on their ages and the age of L. Patterson I am thinking they are younger siblings of hers. I also believe her son is William Patterson b.1849 (1850 census shows him as 1 yr old, 1860 census shows him as age 11). L. Patterson died before 1853 when Thomas remarried Matilda Gray. Matilda was previously married to Unknown Essary. They had one child together named Mary Patterson. Matilda died bef 1860 as she does not appear with Thomas and William. Oddly, neither does their child Mary Patterson. Thomas remarries again to Atlanta Hunt who was previously married to Allen Crouch. Mary appears in the 1870 census w/ Thomas & Atlanta as age 15. There is also William and who I believe is his wife, Elizabeth maiden name unknown. Atlanta and Allen had 1 child named Jonathon Crouch. Atlanta and Thomas had 1 child named Nancy Jane Patterson. Allen Crouch was previously married to Jane Hickman and together they had 7 children. I am descended from their son James Elbert Crouch.

UPDATE 12/11/14: It is possible that L. Yoachum was actually born around 1817 and the children listed with her and Thomas in the 1850 census are hers from a previous marriage to an unknown Yoachum.
