Noah Noble Piatt was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, Feb. 24, 1828. He
married Hanna Phillips in 1855. They had five children: Martha (Mrs. Samuel)
Slough: Clara Rees: Mrs. Katherine Thrall: William H; and Johnny, who died
as an infant.
In 1868, after the death of his first wife, Noah Noble married Olive Bryden
in Monticello, Piatt County, Illinois. Roots of the Piatts were deep in Ohio
and Illinois, where two "castles" are open today as museums, and Piatt Park
is in downtown, Cincinnati.
Noah Noble and Olive had three boys; Frank Bryden, 1869-1944; Phil N.,
1872-1967; and James, 1874-1967
Olive, Noah Noble, Phil and James came by train to Hamilton, claiming
"everything the eye could see."
Olive's two brothers, Bob and Jack Bryden, had already come to Kansas and
had claimed land near what is now Sallyards. Olive and the two boys stayed
with Jack while Noah Noble went back to Illinos to bring their belongings
and the five other children, who were still in school.
The tree older girls were in a teacher-training program, and all later
taught around Hamilton.
Growing up on Slate Creek provided happy memories for many people in this
atea. Jim had wonderfull tales to tell of early Greenwood County. He
remembered Indians; and he recalled walking two miles to borrow a hot
charcoal iron to iron shirts. The boys had a house built on skinds and would
take it out to stay where the cattle were. Jum said, "We always moved when
the house needed cleaning.

Does anyone that has been following this article know who Noah Noble Piatt's
mother and father were?
I think (just a hunch) that my 4th grt grand mother Elizabeth hannah Piatt
brn 1828 was related to this family. I have noticed that Ohio also has a
Hamilton Co. My Elizabeth was susposed to be born in Canton, hamilton co.
Ohio, but she was married in Hamilton co, Indiana also. I am beginning to
wonder if these Hamiliton have been mixed up? I know the marriage cert is
for sure, but if I recall I got the other info off of a census page. Any
ideas? anita
