Laverne, Is this the same Benjamin Piatt that showed up in Scioto and Adams Co OH about the same time as Lewis Jr. and John H. Piatt that we have not been able to verify his origins?

For Amanda: No the Benjamin who I speculate is the one in Dearborn Co IN in 1807 would be Benjamin McCullough Piatt, son of Jacob and Hannah McCullough Piatt. Benjamin would have come to the area straight from New Jersey near the time his parents did the same after the Revolutionary War. Benjamin became a Federal judge and spent him life in Cincinnati and Logan Co OH where two of his sons built the Piatt Castles. Benjamin of Adams Co OH was associated with the Piatts of Washington Co PA. -- Laverne Ingram Piatt Ontario, OH
