Hi,

Your message looks like it came only to me but was meant for the list. So I
will quote and respond to you and the list.

<Does anyone know of a Benjamin Piatt married to Isabell Palmer, in Ohio?>

All we have on these people is that they were married in Monroe Co OH on 7
April 1874 by Rev Isaac Williams. (Marriage Book 2:18)

There is speculation that this Benjamin was the son of William Piatt and his
first wife Ella "Precious" Keen. Some give Ella's name as Brown. Ella died
in the mid 1860s leaving William with several small children who must have
been taken in by relatives, maybe on both sides of the family. The children
have been difficult to track.

There is also a death record for a Benjamin F Piatt on 2 Jan 1879 at age 24
years. This would make this young man born about 1855. The family group
sheet of William and Ella "Precious" lists a Benjamin as having been born
about 1852 with no further information.

If you find that this is the correct Benjamin and that he was the son of
William and Precious, we have lots and lots of further information.
