Unless you can show it impossible, I'd say that Martha (#9), wife of John Jr., is the Patty Vannatter in this news clipping:
"m on the 20th ult. in Potter county, by John Taggart, Esq. Mr. John Ives, to Miss Patty Vanatter, both of Pike twp."

More evidence is on the 1850 census for Eulalia Twp., Potter Co., Penna. A household consists solely of "Riley Ives, 18; Amelia Ives, 16; Betsy van Atter, 66", with the latter called "grandmother" on this transcript:

It's a good guess that Betsy is the mother of Martha/Patty. She's also probably the wife (perhaps sister-in-law) of the Potter pioneer and pantherslayer Jacob B. Vannatter.
Patty's generation (whether siblings or cousins) would consist of:
Jacob (m. Rebecca Keeler)
Polly (m. Isaac Merrick; a descendant calls Isaac's wife "Elvira")
Edward Parker (m. Almira Burrows)
Elizabeth (m. John Nelson)
Howland (m. Eunice M. Butler)
This would make Burl Ives a descendant of Jacobus Janszen van Etten, who arrived in New Netherland in 1658.
