In the interest of looking at associated families in the hopes of finding additional information on Piatt/Pyatt I found the following at:

My question is: Is the Rev Jonathan Dunham who performed the 1755 marriage ceremony in Loudoun Co VA, the same Rev Jonathan Dunham who was the son-in-law of Rene Piatt?


<<Catharine MARTIN15,41 was born about 1735 in Piscataway, New Jersey. She died about 1830 in "Domestic Retreat" Nicholasville, Kentucky. She was buried in Ky. The Shreve Family was associated with the Martin's in Fayette Co. PA
Land owned by Colonel Israel Shreve, who maintained
lands for George Washington, sold to Benjamin Martin in 1738. John F.Martin

Seven other children by the 1st and 2nd wives. Dinah Pyatt was the daughter of Jacob and Mary Hull Pyatt. Dinah was born February 2, 1703/4 and died 1789. Jonathan Martin was born June 12, 1687-8 and died August 1768 and married three times. Jonathan was the son of Benjamin Martin born in 1656 and married Margaret Reynolds, daughter of Nicholas Reynolds, on October 24,1688. Margaret died June 12, 1687-8.

Judge Luther (Martin) Shreve of Chicago, wrote: "My grandmother married a second time, and when I knew her, her name was Catharine Thomas. She was a remarkable woman--tall, dignified and reserved even with my father,Judge William Shreve. She lived alone (except with her two servants) for a number of years on her own little farm, consenting in her last years, at my father's request, to come and live near him at his farm, known as "Domestic Retreat" near Nicholasville, and ten miles from Lexington, Kentucky. My earliest education was from her. She gave me a pony and taught me to ride. She died about 1830. Parents: Jonathan MARTIN and Dinah PYATT.
