Precious little information is known about Isabell PALMER and Benjamin PIATT.
All I have is:

7 April 1874, Isabel PALMER and Benjamin PIATT were married by Rev Isaac
Williams, Monroe Co OH Marriage Book 2, page 18.

2 Jan 1879, Benjamin F PIATT died, age 24 years (the same Benjamin?) no death
record cited

5 Jan 1884, John McVAY and Isabel PIATT were married by J R Camden JP, Monroe
Co OH Marriage Book 3, page 144 (application by Amos Mobberly) (Isabel Palmer Piatt?)

1880 census, Monroe Co OH, Graysville
Washington Twp, 180/183

Calvin Flanigan50 OH OH OH
Nancy, wife 48 OH OH OH
Ebenezer Hall 14 OH OH OH nephew
Rosetta PIATT 5 OH OH OH adopted daughter
Sarah E PIATT 5 OH OH OH adopted daughter

In 1900 Calvin and Nancy Flanigan were living alone.

Other marriage records which might pertain:

IF the seven year old Benjamin in this family is the same as the one who died
at age 24 in 1879 (numbers are close) AND the same one who married Isabell
PALMER, then we have the probable link to Rene.

More work is needed for confirmation, though.
