The only reference I have is that the two were married on 7 Apr 1874 by Rev
Isaac Williams. There was a note published in PFN that speculated that this
Benjamin was the son of William Piatt and "Precious" Ella Keen Piatt. There
is no proof of this as yet. Precious died after 1860 leaving at least 6 young
children [1860 census, Center Twp, Monroe Co OH] including a Benjamin b 1852.
When William remarried to Hannah Ferrell Dixon only her three children by her
first husband Scott Dixon lived with them. Where William's children went is a
mystery as his family has not yet been fully reconstructed.

The application for marriage license was made by Benjamin Piatt and is on
record in Volume 2, page 18, Monroe Co OH marriage records.
