Just came back from a week in Columbia County searching for Piatt's. (Got
back before the big snow storm!)

Like most states, PA subdivides all of its area into counties. It then
further subdivides each county into area townships. Boroughs and villages
are part of the townships. In 1820, Columbia County lists only one Piatt -
located only in the Borough of Jackson, in Madison Township in Columbia.

Here are some population figures for 1820 for townships in Columbia County:
Bloom: 1626
BriarCreek: 1412
Catawissa: 2520
Derry: 1662
Fishing Creek: 512
Hemlock: 1465
Limestone: 435
Liberty: 1146
Madison: 1330
Borough of Jackson: Benjamin Piatt 41--1-1-11-
Mahoning: 1478
Mifflin: 1492
Mount Pleasant: 681
Greenwood: 1078
