Anita,

Some of the Piatts mentioned in the Oregon 1930 census are from my Piatt
family. Several years ago Lynn White traced our Oregon Piatt family to
Columbia County, PA. The family moved to Lucerne County, Pa and then to
Van Buren County, IA. About 1874 the Piatts, Riggins, Wolfs and Zinks
left Iowa for Oregon. Some lived in Washington County but eventually
settled in Linn County. The one's that you listed that belong to my
Piatt family are:

Lora Piatt who was married to James Piatt, son of Isaiah. She was his
widow in 1920. James was born in Oregon. His father was born in PA.

Wesley Piatt was the son of John Piatt, the son of Isaiah. John was
born in IA.

I am interested in the Ephraim Piatt mentioned in your list. Ephraim is
a name used in every generation of this family. However his age and the
wife's name do not match any known Ephraim Piatt in my family

I still must connect my John Piatt in PA to known families. An
Ephraim Piatt lived in Columbia County, PA in the early 1800's. John's
age fits into his census report.

I hope this helps direct your research. If any of these match your
information please e-mail details.
