There is a Piatt park in downtown Cincinnati. I think they pronounce their name Pi' att. I have not been able to connect their line to mine though (Scioto Co. / Adams county Piatts). Amanda Kemen Cincinnati, OH
Piatt Park in Cincinnati was originally named Piatt Park, then renamed for James A Garfield, but renamed again to Piatt Park just a few years ago. It is a narrow park in the heart of downtown but I can't quote the boundary streets from memory. It was named for some or one of the early prominent Piatts in Cincinnati, all being from the line of the Five Revolutionary brothers. A few years ago I was shopping in Cinncinati and when the clerk returned my credit card she said, "Thank you, Mrs Pee-ott'." The same day I was shopping in Dayton and the response was "Thank you, Mrs Pie'-ett." For Amanda, The Adams Co Piatts would be cousins to the ones in Cincinnati with the branching of the lines coming in the third generation from two brothers who were sons of Jacob Piatt and Mary Hull. Most of the Adams and Scioto Co Piatts (not including those of Lewis Piatt) descend: .Rene Piatt and Elizabeth Sheffield ..Jacob Piatt and Mary Hull ...Jacob Piatt (oldest son) and Jean Paul ....and on down The Cincinnati Piatts descend: .Rene Piatt and Elizabeth Sheffield ..Jacob Piatt and Mary Hull ...John Piatt (youngest son, "John of France") and Frances Van Vliet Wyckoff ....and on down -- Laverne Ingram Piatt Ontario, OH
