LAVERNE -- Thanks for reprinting the Daisy Piatt Warner excerpt. I had looked all over for it without success and couldn't remember where I had read it. I have some more questions about this family to ask you. Since you will be away, I will use the time to get my thoughts together and ask you after your return. -- JOHN

Since I'm back home I hope to get back to catching up on delinquent answers to e-mails and postings to surname boards. While catching up on my snail mail I noticed this very interesting acquisition by the Ohio Historical Society as listed in Echoes, Vol 40, No 6, December 2001/January 2002, page 4: "Adams County, Ohio Legal Documents 1799-1857 This anonymous donation of a variety of early Adams County legal documents includes court summons, indictments, indentures, voting records, poll books, common please court records, estate appraisals, and receipts. M2002-000012, donation" I'm sure the descendants of the Adams Co line of Piatts would hope that something might be found concerning Jacob, Benjamin, Lewis and others of this area. Now if anonymous would just part with the rest of the public records being stashed in the attic or barn of a private residence perhaps many genealogical questions could be answered. -- Laverne Ingram Piatt Ontario, OH
