Hello, Karen -- Bingo! We have a match. Enos Riley Hiatt was my late husband's grandfather. Will be glad to exchange info -- My husband was born DeLoe Robert Hiatt, Jr., 1/1/1927 while his father was working in Chicago. Both of his parents were Randolph County born -- and were high school sweethearts, who married at age 18. His mother was an EAGY. Three years ago we found a first cousin, son of DeLoe Sr.'s brother Rhea Hiatt (yes, RHEA, pronounced REE, is a man's name). Of Rhea's five children, only Burt is still alive -- and he still lives in Randolph County, in winchester, near the Enos Hiatt homestead. My husband answered to Bob Hiatt -- DeLoe and Rhea are not everyday names -- and it was a delight to see him and Burt standing toe-to-toe for the first time in their lives -- Bob at 75 and Burt at 82 -- facial expressions and gestures were so much alike -- they even STOOD the same way. I've been meaning to get back to Winchester to visit Burt and Betty -- but -- in the year since Bob died, I've not felt up to it. Spent a lot of time out of Ohio, visiting my mother and sister in Florida. Home now. Sure do miss Bob's sitting behind me while I worked on genealogy -- when he'd think of another fact from his interesting life (he left home at age 12, after his mother died -- worked as a cowboy, forest ranger, race car driver -- not in that order -- and made his living fixing things -- troubleshooting factories in trouble, building machinery, working in wood to 1/1000ths of an inch.) Would be glad to share the stories Bob told about his father and grandfather -- and the research we gathered. Lynn Messina was our first HIATT genealogical angel, and I think she still lives in Randolph County. She set us on the pathway, and was the first to connect us to the HIATT clan, Quaker immigrants, who came over on Penn's second ship -- Bob was 9th generation. Lynn knows so much HIATT information, that, for a while, I thought she had memorized the Hiett-Hiatt book (:-) but in truth she has gone beyond the book, and added a lot more information to the family tree and could probably write her own book. Did you know that Enos Riley Hiatt was a covered-wagon child -- from Indiana to Missouri? Two Hiatt sisters and their husbands (one of them a HIATT cousin, the other Pleasant Stanley) were pioneers. Then the husbands died, and the widows and their younger children went back home to Randolph County. And later, Enos married his cousin Elizabeth Stanley. I'm looking now at that generation -- and it looks as if one of his HIATT relatives married one of Elizabeth's siblings. (Actually, that's what we were looking at when Bob died, Oct. 2002 -- and I haven't done a thing since then. This might get me going again.) Done. Glad to hear from you.

I have 4 gentlemen by the name of Enos Hiatt. Enos Hiatt (son of Isaac Hiatt and Hannah Sulgrove) born 28 Aug 1805 Guilford Co North Carolina, and died 9 Dec 1882 Randolph Co Indiana.

Hiatt (son of Eli Hodgson Hiatt and Anna Hiatt) born 17 May 1861 Randolph Co Indiana. This Enos married Mary Elizabeth Stanley. I would be glad to share information I have. I was born and grew up in Randolph Co, moving to neighboring Delaware Co when I married. But, I still consider Randolph Co "home". Where in Ohio do you live????
