Thank you, Laverne! I am thrilled to have the name of the mother for
Benjamin. May I please have the source for her name so I can get a copy of
the document....if there is one?

I know nothing about a NJ link. I've found Piatt/Pyatt very early (1700's,
but don't know exact date offhand) in WV connected to John McWms in a
lawsuit. I believe this is the same John McWms who was the father of
Rachael who married Benjamin.

This line spells the name as Pyatt and they still reside in Bartholomew Co.
