I have this one picture of my great grandmother a year before her death
posted on Monroe County's Site:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohmccogs/RebeccaPiattAllen.htm

Here are the obits that confirm some of what you have sent me: (BUT there is
a bit of confusion, Lorenz and Lorenzo--- were they two different people---I
am really beginning to think they may have been because the parents are
different OR since Lorenz/Lorenzo was the baby did Mary Piatt remarry after
the death of John?) I know for fact Simon Piatt is my relation; as Harley
was my Uncle. Also note in Lorenzo's obit that the name Briggs shows up but
not Bessie (could this have been a nickname?)

PLEASE let me know how I can get a copy of this Volume 9 Piatt Family
Newsletter, 1994. I would really love to have it.
