Sharolynn, You are so right with your data on Rene Piatt and the early records. I am sure all of this is referring to one person, but with one additional reference I wish to make. There are records showing that Rene had a son Rene. In all my research, I cannot find another Rene, but in some instances a son Thomas is noted as Rene. I think this is where some researchers get confused, as well as myself. Research on this matter must go on, and even though I did most of this back in the very early 1960s, not all material was available back then as it is now. I hope this gives one something to look out for in their research on son Thomas. Richard O. Piatt, West Chester, PA.
