Hi list subscribers, I am collecting descendants of a Samuel Platt, born 1779, for a book. (I have 716 descendants at this moment - still adding several more per week.) Besides getting data from various records, I'm also locating descendants of all of the lines possible so that they can contribute up-to-date data and be listed in the book. I'll list various descendants, A FEW AT A TIME, in several locations - and this list is one of them. If a descendant - or someone else who sees this can give me a lead to one, I would love to receive any information. The first ones are all of the surname PLATT, but later there are descendants by many other names. Here goes: Theodore F.? PLATT, born about 1844, IN. Last appeared in 1870 Randolph Co., IN census (age 26), but I have not been able to find him anywhere in 1880 census. (Sometimes they went by a middle name later, of course!) John B. H.? PLATT, born about 1840, IN. Last appeared in 1860 Randolph Co., IN census (age 20). He might have been killed in Civil War - haven't checked this out yet. (Is there a listing by county of Indiana Civil War soldiers?) Mary A. PLATT, born about 1858, IN. Last appeared in 1870 Randolph Co., IN census (age 12); have not yet found a marriage for her. Stanton B. PLATT, born about 1863, IN. Last appeared 1870 Randolph Co., IN census (age 7); have not been able to find him in 1880 census. Again, if anyone has run across any of these people or can point me to a descendant, I would be most grateful! Thanks! Sally Ivy, Bettendorf, IA
