Laverne!!! YOUR WONDERFULL!!!!
I think you've got it! E liz Hanna was born July 18, 1828 and was married
in 1851 so that should make her 23? at time of marriage.

She died Dec 27 1914 in Portland OR. Just a few years after she had come
West with her son Orville.

In fact I'm on my way to OR and WA tomorrow morning. I plan on searching for
the cemetery etc and try to get some more records.

So I won't be able to post more of the bible info until I get home. This was
an unexpected trip.
Boy, I wish I had a laptop! My next project, hopefully!
You know I have read off and on in a few places that some Piatt children
were taken in by other Piatts when their parents died. ?Maybe this is what
happened and my Elizabeth was one of these children? I can not for the life
of me remember where I read about this. It seems to me that Peter case must
have been some kind of guardian? I do believe this story is about to
unravel! Maybe I will find a little more info in OR.!
So also maybe I'll find records in Franklin Co. OH, Back to the microfilms.
And I think I shall search the Montfort WI records...just may be a little
there, because she lived there until her husband Isaac Armfield died.
