Has anyone heard the story of Burnt Cabins, PA? Supposedly, a group of settlers settled this area of PA illegally because it was Indian land. In 1750, the government came in and forced them out. Before leaving, they burnt their Cabins to the ground so the Indians could not use them and thus the town received its name, Burnt Cabins, PA. There was a Piatt family involved in this and I am trying to find out which one. Do you perhaps know or know of anyone that would?

Can someone tell who these men are and how they connect back to Rene Piatt (the immigrant)? 1807 Census Indiana: Piatt, Benjamin IN DEARBORN CO. 25 1807 VOTER LIST Piatt, Robert IN DEARBORN CO. 25 1807 VOTER LIST Thanks, David

Hey Christine - thanks for the info on the NPRFresh Air interview . I accidently heard the Terri Gross interview with Dr. Piot. Very interesting. If we're related to him, we have a lot to be proud of. He's been doing AIDS research from the beginning and it sounds as though he was the first to really discover the AIDS virus, name it, research it, and work with patients.

I would like to be taken off this list. Jane Nelson Client Service Specialist HQ Global Workplaces 2000 Town Center, Suite 1900 Southfield, MI 48075 T: 248-351-2607 F: 248-351-2699 jane.nelson@hq.com

Greetings list! I just heard a spot on the radio for today's Fresh Air with Terry Gross--she is going to interview Peter Piot. I don't remember exactly what his title is, but I believe he works for the United Nations in the interests of AIDS research or prevention. http://freshair.npr.org/ They will have more information about it tomorrow, when the archive of the show will be available online. Not exactly genealogy, but boy do my ears perk up when I hear a Piot! Thanks, and good luck, Christine in Lexington

Robin, I have been considering getting into this site, but I hate to sign up for around $70 per year for something I cannot tell in advance if it is actually worthwhile.

Hi, Ed, The world was pretty small in the early days and there wasn't a large pool of possible spouses to choose from. In my line I have some cousins marrying: Robert Piatt (1830-1883) s/o John of Daniel of John of Jacob of Regnier m. his cousin Catherine Canby (1828-1888) d/o of Robert of Daniel of John of Jacob of Regnier; they were the parents of my great-grandfather Dr. Louis H.

Elise - It gets even stranger: in 1815 John Pyeatte, s/o (Maj.) Jacob and Margaret Finley Pyeatte, married Martha (Patsy) Carnahan, sister of Sam'l. Carnahan (who had wed Mary Pyeatte, d/o Maj. Jacob and Margaret Fiinley Pyeatte). John died in 1823, whereupon Martha married Andrew F. Pyeatte, John's brother. Andrew died in 1837, and Martha Carnahan Pyeatte married Jeff Cabe (marriage #3 for Martha). After Martha's death, Jeff Cabe married Margaret Pyeatt (the widw Pierce). Then, we have Finis Ewing Pyeatt and his sister, Paulina (s/o,d/o John and Martha Carnahan) marrying Eizabeth Maxwell and Edley Maxwell (her bother) respectively, in a double ceremony in 1836, Arkansas. There may be more, but that's it from the accounts that I have at hand. Reading back over this, it looks kinda' tangled - I hope you can navigate your way through it. It may help to draw it out in a diagram. Good luck, and happy hunting. . . Ed

Anita - Brothers marrying sisters, etc. may not be so far fetched, after all. In the Pyeatt (Piatt) lineage we find, about 1700, the brothers, Jacob and Thomas Pyatt marrying the Hull sisters, Mary and Mercy, respectively. Then, in about 1790, the Pyeatt brothers (Maj.) Jacob and James married the Finley sisters, Margaret and Catherine, and emigrating as a group to (what is now) Arkansas in 1810. Then we find the son and daughter of (Maj.) Jacob and Margaret, John and Mary marrying Martha (Patsy) Carnahan and her brother, Samuel. The grandsons of (Maj.) Jacob and Margaret, John, Andrew (my ggf), and their nephew, Peter, marrying the daughters of Thos. H. Tennant, Margaret, Miranda (my ggm), and Nettie Tennant. These marriages span the family history from New England to North Carolina to Arkansas. On my mother's side, we have my gf, C.H.Roberts wed to Alice Hay, who bore him the first four of his eight children. She died in 1910, following the birth of my uncle, Chas. Roberts. C.H. Roberts then married Alice Hay's sister, Ninnie Lou Hay. I suppose that, should Ninnie Lou (Hay) Roberts have died, Clyde H. could have married the remaining Hay, Flora. I doubt seriously that these were all that isolated, as marriages went, and may still happen. There was strength in numbers in the past, and the group loyalty would be enhanced by sibling marriages. In fact, that is probably still the case. Don't discount it as a possibility, the evidence is right there, in the family history. Keep searching, and be prepared for pleasant and interesting surprises. Ed

Just discovered a little bit more on my 2nd grt grd mother. Elizabeth Hannah Piatt brn 1828 in Ohio, married Isaac Armfield, and they lived in Montfort WI. She went by the name of Hannah, and died in Portland OR. 1914. In the 1910 Minn. MN. census, she was living with her daughter Florence and her husband Frank Pierce Williams. Now this is where I found new info!!! It is recorded that she was born in Ohio and her parents were born in Virginia!!! SO the information I received from a distant cousin must be correct. She said she thought Hannah's father's name was Moses Piatt and her mother Jane Smith. She also said that she thought they were both from Virginia! Or I hope I am on the correct path. Now I did find on line some other Piatts and Smiths in Virginia, that made me think that these could just be a possibly that the two girls could be sisters marrying brothers? I know, I'am getting carried away. I just had to share this! So back to the census and just maybe I'll find the connection to the rest of your Piatts...Anita

Marlene and Listers-- Your Anna Louisianna Pyatt was sister to my Edward William (sometimes seen as William Edward) Pyatt born 16 Feb 1863. Parents were John S Pyatt and Mary C Snider. Im VERY interested in corresponding with you regarding this family, especially if you have information on John's parentage. I believe there are a couple of other researchers from this line on the list as well. Terry? Randy? You guys still around? Have additional information on the family on my website at: http://home.primus.ca/~triedit click on the genealogy link. If you could send me your info on the family of Anna Louisiana I would appreciate it. Thanks, Robin in Canada

For Dave Piatt and all other interested parties - In checking my files on the above family, I find the following. I have a question mark with Ellen's date of birth, 1830 and 1838. I never saw the death certificate, but if the numbers are clear, it would seem that was correct. However, I have found many discrepancies in census records with ages, so either they would give it wrong or the censustaker did not hear it correctly. Regarding, daughter Sarah P. Piatt. Her correct name was Sarah Mildred and that should correct the possible misconception as she went by Millie. My explanation for daughter Carrie is this. I have always assumed Carrie was the child of Ellen and possibly with Mr. Lowden before they married. She did go by the Lowden name so she was either adopted by Moses Cummings Lowden or assumed that name. There was mix-ups in this family according to the elder descendants that I personally interviewed back in the mid 1960s. James and Ellen purchased their property 10/20/1870. Ellen finally got a clear deed for herself on 10/22/1872 after the death of James on 4/11/1872. Ellen then sold the property on 10/9/1876. J. W. Eno was appointed the guardian of the children 3/25/1876, namely, George, Robert, Sarah, Charles and Ulysses. These records came from the courthouse as well as many of the descendants, one other being extremely helpful, Elizabeth (Piatt) Kittle. One thing I am still confused on, is that Mrs. Kittle above, told me there was an Isaac Piatt that was in the family and she thought it was a brother to the above James, but she could not clearly remember the facts. To this day, I have not been able to prove or disprove this fact. The name Isaac certainly was in the family with James grandfather Ephraim. Let me know if you can add anything. Dick Piatt, PA.
