In answer to all of the posts on this subject, I believe I can help.
Levi H. Patty was born in Covington, Ohio, ca. 1833, to Samuel Patty and Salomi Bollinger.
I'm not sure what he was doing in the interim, but he is reported to have moved to California in 1863; he apparently was sympathetic to the Southern states in the Civil War, but abstained from fighting in it for some reason. From 1865-1875, he was a contract physician at the Presidio in San Francisco, and in the meantime was an observer there from April - November 1868. Apparently he also had some dealings with masonry, as he is reported to have been First Master of the lodge in Covelo, California in 1875, and withdrew in 1878.
As to his personal life, in about September 1869, he married Adelia A. Hardin, an orphan from Missouri who had been living with her aunt and uncle, A.D. and Margaret Blythe.
By all accounts, they had six children:
* Maurice, born probably some time between June and October 1870
*an unnamed son who was born ca. 1871 or 1872, but
died in infancy ca. February 1874
* Alice, born ca. 1872 or 1873, who died around the same time their second son did
*another little girl born January 1877
*a son Levi, born in about 1881 and still living at the 1900 census (supposedly the only one of 6 children still living at that time)
*a son Lee H., born circa 1882, and still living at the 1920 census (had a wife, Grace, and a daughter Jean)
The last available letter written to Levi is from his sister Mary A. Whitney, dated Aug. 17, 1893; the 1900 census lists Adelia as widowed.
Should you wish to see if you can glean any more information pertinent to your research, there is a box of correspondence and other papers regarding this aspect of the Hardin and Patty families available; it is currently housed in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections stacks at BYU (Provo).
(I've been editing the finding aid for the collection, and was trying to refind previous information/see if I could find anything else when I happened upon this discussion thread.)
