Can anyone tell me the children of Abraham Piatt and Annabelle Andrew? They were married abt 1768. I know that Abraham was a Captain in the Revolution and a surveyor. Was he also a Judge of Northumberland County, PA? Did he have brothers that settled in Lycoming County, PA near him?

The baptismal records were printed in the Somerset Co Historical Quarterly, Volume 8, reprinted in 1989 from the 1919 issue. Abraham Piatt served in the Revolutionary War as a Quartermaster from Somerset Co NJ, a Captain of the 2nd Regiment of Middlesex Co NJ Militia, Col Neilson's Regiment, on duty at Cranbury NJ, 1 Feb 1777 to 2 Apr 1777, and later, in 1778, as a Captain in the 5th Batallion, Northumberland Co PA, Militia, John Kelly, Colonel. He moved from NJ to Penn's Valley PA and settled on land obtained in exchange for doing some surverying jobs. He was Judge of the Courts of Northumberland County in 1786. He died in 1791, and all his family removed to Ohio. James Piatt was but a small boy when his father died. An "Abstract of Wills and Administrations of Northumberland County" erred in giving the surname as PRATT. Annabelle died in Hamilton, Butler Co OH. Abraham's brother JOHN PIATT who married first JANE WILLIAMSON and second ELIZABETH YOUNG BEAR was in White Deer Valley, Northumberland/Lycoming Co PA.
