The Quincy area was settled by 2 Platt families over the years... the Platts from Indiana (no relation) and the Platts from our side arrived in Quincy via the west coast. (Further proof the family did everything backwards .hehe) Mary Dodd (Daughter of Wesley and Sarah) and Joseph Platt were my great grandparents. My grandfather, Edward Joseph Platt married Mary Riley and had my father...John Edward Platt....I have much more information for you...but, I wanted you to know that you're on the right track. It was great hearing from you in Rootsweb. I look forward to sharing more info. TY again... Sincerely, Mary Platt-Lindley
