Patrick Dunn of Orange Co., NC

I am looking for info regarding the family of Sarah Dunn b 1773 who married James Rippy in Orange Co., NC March 6, 1792.

The only Dunn listed in the 1800 Census for Orange Co., NC is Patrick Dunn. He and his wife are over 45. There is 1 male between 10-16, 2 males between 16-26, and one other female between 16-26.
By 1810 in Orange Co., NC there are three Dunn listings...John, Drury, and S. Dunn

I assume "S." is a son of Patrick as he is between 26-45 with a woman over 45 and another male between 10-16(Perhaps his mother and younger brother)These are the only 3 in the household.

Patrick is also on the Early Census Index and Tax Lists for Orange County, NC in 1779. So, he has been in Orange Co. for at least 20 years.

The 1779 Lists, 1800, 1810 Federal Census I mention are all in the Hillsborough Township.

There are two other marriage bonds for Orange Co. in the same time frame.
Jane Dunn and Robert McKee, 26 Dec 1797

Patsy Dunn and George Allen, 30 Sep 1807 (Could this be Patrick's daughter?)

Samuel Dunn and Peggy Nelson, 27 April 1811 (Could this be the "S." from 1810?)

Polly Dunn and Robert Love (I dont know when)

Also in Hillsborough there are several Rippys in 1790 Matthew (father of James), Thomas, and John. (In 1800 Edward, Jesse, John, Joseph, Thomas)(In 1810, J, Thomas, John, Joseph, Edward, Matthew)

I am slowly building a case for Patrick as father of my Sarah Dunn. The proximity of these two familes, the timeline of ages, marriages, and records appear to match. I am eager for corrections and more info!!
