Paolo Patti is born around 1810 in Corleone, the son of Leoluca Patti and Angela Leggio.
In 1834, Angela Patti, 63 (b. 1770), a widow, heads a household on the strada di San Michele Arcangelo with her children Antonino, 30 (b. 1803), Paolo, 24 (b. 1809), Salvatore, 17 (b. 1816), and Leoluchina, 16 (b. 1817). Her married son Bernardo lives nearby.[1]
Paolo marries at least twice, first to Natalia Russo, daughter of Vincenzo Russo and Castrenza Papania, on 8 October 1837. His parents have both died by this time.[2]
Paolo remarries to Carmela Rizzotto, daughter of Liborio Rizzotto and Maria Gulotta, on 26 January 1845.[3]
Paolo and Carmela have at least five children: three sons named Leoluca (c. 1850, 1858, and 1865), Giovanni (c. 1852), and Maria Carmela (c. 1861).
I estimate Giovanni is around the same age as his wife, born in 1852.
A second son named Leoluca is born and baptized on 28 November 1858. His godparents are Giuseppe Salemi and Carmela Listi, a married couple.[4] The birth of a third child by this name indicates the second has died.
Maria Carmela is born around 1861, based on her reported age at marriage, in 1892.
The third son named Leoluca is born and baptized 23 January 1865. His godmother is Maria Listi.[5]
Giovanni marries Maria Rosa Ligotino (usually called "Leoluchina" in the baptismal records of their children) on 12 November 1876.[6]
Paolo dies at age 71 (b. 1811) on 18 May 1882. Maria Carmela survives him.[7]
