I am a Hiatt descendant. Lewis and Jesse Hiatt took a wagon train from Iowa across the Oregon Trail in 1852 and settled in Jackson, then Klamath and eventually made their way up to Washinton State. I know I've heard this story about Joseph and Isaac before but I cannot remember where or from whom. I checked my records but do not have a Caleb or Isaac... sorry. There were a great many Hiatts / Hyatts in the Virginia and Indiana area. If I remember where I heard the story, I'll contact you.

I have some friends who live in Cove, Or. I have been there. It is a little way from La Grande, Or. in Union Co.Or. I want to add something here. there are many LDS people there and some went there in the settling of area. Could also it be that these people were LDS???? That might get to be a help in this. Do you have where they died and are buried?

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5cB.2ACI/724.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks, June. It would be interesting as to how Charlotte and Conrad met each other. I believe Charlotte and some of her children came to Washington County, OR around the end of 1892. Daughter, Harriet (nee Brown) Strope with husband and children, daughter in law, Janette (nee Strope) Brown (widowed) with a son, and Emma (nee Stope) Canning, all made the trip from Antelope County, NE to Oregon. Other Brown and Strope children may have also moved to Oregon, but I haven't found them yet. Charlotte's maiden name maybe Deboe. She was from Orange County, New York. She married John Brown abt. 1852 in NY. John and Charlotte, with children, moved to Outagamie County, Wisconsin. From Outagamie County, the now widowed Charlotte, moved with her married daughter, Harriet and family to Knox County, NE. It is there that Charlotte struck a deal with my ggg-grandfather, Samuel Haskin to become his wife. They married in July 1886 and moved to his homestead near Royal, Antelope Co. NE. Samuel Haskin died in 1892 and Charlotte is mentioned in Samuel's Will so I knew she survived him. The surname Haskin is spelled with an "s" at the end and without in various documents. In fact, in Samuel Haskin's Will, the surname of Haskin is spelled both ways. Later generations have dropped the "s".

They had no children together, but Charlotta enjoyed taking care of Conrad's four orphaned children. Thanks to her, Conrad went back to Pennsylvania and brought back fruit and nut saplings which created the basis of his Mountain Home Farm.

There were Schmeltzer families in the Mountain Home area near Sherwood when I was growing up there. You could check for addresses on line at _http://www.bigyellow.com/_ (http://www.bigyellow.com/) , for probable descendents by clicking on "People Pages" near the top, then entering the surname and then the Sherwood zip code 97140.
