For Don,

Good to know you are still criss-crossing the continent and working genealogy in when you can. You daughter gets an atta-girl for finding the Memphis directory listing for Michael Piatt. Maybe this is only the first bite of the genealogy bug for her.

Interesting how the Piatt records hide and hide and hide and then pop out unexpectedly when they want to.

I had been thinking of Memphis for several days as I had recently read another article on the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-1812. (Certainly Nobu can recite all the implications of that event.) I thought it might be time to see the area and go to Graceland at spring break. But Ed says he would rather wait until September and spend a couple of days in Memphis while travelling from Chicago to New Orleans on the City of New Orleans. I won't argue with that. So I'm thinking Rebecca and I will go to Nashville, maybe Huntsville AL, and also take in Grainger and Hamblen Counties, TN, for genealogy. (Listers, I have some information to post about Piotts in Hamblen Co and will welcome suggestions for what to look for in Grainger Co.)

I was the volunteer at Ohio Genealogical Society yesterday and noticed a Barth listing:

Campbell County KY Marriages

1 Dec 1808, John Barth and Rachel Rittenhouse

Don't know if this is important but I don't see the Barth name very often. Rittenhouse, of course, goes back to New Jersey.

Also I noticed in one of the Ohio census indexes by AIS a Michael PFATT in Hamilton Co OH. Now I'm wondering if this is your Michael Piatt misspelled. I'll have to check it out later.

Do consider joining us in Doylestown in June. You will have fun and eat well. Dick knows all the good restaurants.

Mind if I start my "Piatt as given or middle name" list with you?
