The lineage for John Piatt of Monroe Co OH who married Mary Truax is thought to be:

.Rene Piatt and Elizabeth Sheffield
..Jacob Piatt and Mary Hull
...Jacob Piatt and Jean Paul
....Jacob Piatt and Elizabeth Dunham
.....James Piatt and Nancy Coleman
......John Piatt and Elizabeth Keezy
.......Jacob Piatt and Elizabeth Allen
........John Piatt and Mary Truax

When the father of William Peatt of WV, who married Mary Smith, is found and the connection made back to New Jersey, the cousinship between their descendant John who married Mary Snyder and the John Piatt who married Mary Truax can be figured.

Why did John Piatt of Monroe Co OH move to Jackson Co WV? One possibility is to work in the oil fields. The first well was drilled in 1859 and the boom became serious after the Civil War. More information on the history of the oil business in Ohio and West Virginia can be seen at:
