Dear John,
I have Benjamin F Piatt as dying in Bartholomew Co where you have Shelby
Co. Do you know which is correct? Also, on the other Benjamin whose father
was James Piatt: I have no information on that line - other than one
descendant and a three line family generation list (James, Benjamin,
Clarissa). Could you provide more please? Thanks, Marianne
