Joseph Slatten of DeWitt Co. IL 1850

Probably the son of Tyre Slatten who moved across VA to IL (Albemarle VA-Amherst VA-Garrard KY-Adair KY-Morgan IL).
However, Tyre's son Joseph is usually recorded as marrying Martha Allen. A Joseph also married Elizabeth CAMPBELL, but this is a real problem since this couple (as SLATONS) lived in the Lexington KY area and there are several Josephs who have a similar profile to the SLATTEN man.
I am not able to provide any evidence since I am at my workplace. Because Joseph appears in 1830 Morgan IL census, proximity suggests that this is Tyre's son (or at least a descendant). Betsy" b 1792who married Peyton Brown in Garrard co KY has her bond signed by Tyre, and James A b 1794, who married a Swiggett, may be either issue or grandchildren of Tyre. James A named a son Tyre, and each is in Morgan co (1850 Morgan, p 220) and Harrison co IL (1860 p 63, 1870 p 20) respectively.
