For Jim Harriman;

I posted the following in response to your query on genconnect:

*****

d 17 Jan 1899, Carl Twp, Adams Co IA, but Mt Zion Cem
m 27 Nov 1862, ?Rock Island Co? IL to

ELIZABETH A ROGERS (d/o ELIJAH ROGERS & NANCY BEACH)
b 27 Apr 1841, Ripley Co IN
d 24 Oct 1919, Carl Twp, Adams Co IL, bur Mt Zion Cem

children:
l. HOMER, b c1864, IL; lived Omaha NE
2. ELLA, b c1866, IL; m EUGENE DUDLEY of Creston IA; had ALLEN DUDLEY, b Feb
1887, IA
3. WILMUTH, b 10 Sep 1868, IA; d 27 Aug 1940, Adams Co IA; but Mt Zion Cem,
never married
4. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN "FRANK," b c 1872, IA; m Nettie M ____; lived in Fresno
CA, 1910
5. RACHEL, b Dec 1880, IA

Allen and Elizabeth Rogers Piatt are listed in the 1880 census of Adams Co IA,
Carl Twp. The 1900 census for the same area lists Elizabeth Piatt as head of
household. The 1910 census for Fresno, Fresno Co CA, lists Benjamin F, Nettie
M and daughter Helen M Piatt.

I don't have any further information on the siblings of this Benjamin Franklin
Piatt other than listed above. Also, since I did not have a maiden name for
Nettie, I have nothing on her parents.

A lengthy biography of Allen Piatt was printed in the BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF
MONTGOMERY AND ADAMS COUNTIES [IA], Lewis Publishing Co (1892), page 429-30.
It states that Jacob Piatt was a native of Penn Valley Pa and that Jane
Thompson was a native of the Juniata Valley of Pennsylvania. Also mentioned
is "the late Hon Joseph McDonald, of Indiana was a first cousin of Allen
Piatt." Allen's parents lived in Butler Co OH until 1842 when they moved to
Henry Co Il, settling six miles south of Cambridge where they "passed the rest
of their lives." Elijah Rogers was a native of Indiana and Nancy Beach of
Kentucky and a daughter of James Beach.

The lineage for this Benjamin Franklin Piatt from the immigrant would be thus:

.Rene Piatt and Elizabeth Sheffield
..Jacob Piatt and Mary Hull
...John Piatt and Frances Van Vliet, the widow Wyckoff
....Abraham Piatt and Annabell Andrew
.....Jacob Piatt and Jane Thompson
......Allen Piatt and Elizabeth Rogers
.......Benjamin Franklin Piatt and Nellie Outhier

Source: Piatt Family Newsletter, Volume 7, 1992. Volume 7 and 8 of PFN
follow the generations descended through John Piatt and Frances Van Vliet
Wyckoff Piatt.

It seems that I also posted information concerning Jacob Piatt and Jane
Thompson to one of the message boards so you might poke around on genconnect
and the other one or two Piatt boards. Maybe Christine can post to the list
as to which these boards are. I have been having trouble accessing
myfamily.com lately. My browser flips to an adserver address and a banner for
Fingerhut and then goes dormant. It doesn't lock up but it won't go anywhere.
Then I have to restart my browser. My daughter's computer has no trouble.
Advice would be appreciated on this.
