You say that John Piatt (b:c1784) was murdered in New Orleans, LA before 26
Jun 1812. Do you know the story behind that?

Why was John in New Orleans? Was he the only Piatt down there?

I have come across the following.

A Benjamin Piatt that was always in trouble with the law down in Louisiana.
Now, he is supposedly the son of Jacob Pyatt and Elizabeth Dunham. He married
a Mary Phillips, was divorced. He apparently married for second to a Mary
Waddell and settled in Adams County, OH.

Now, my question is was Benjamin in New Orleans when John was murdered? Were
the two cousins in New Orleans together? Is this two different Benjamin
Piatt? If so, who would this Benjamin Piatt be? How was he in trouble with
the law in Louisiana?
