Marion Co OH:
Certificate No. 689: "This 1st day of Oct AD 1859 personally came before me ELIAS JONES and made oath that he is twenty-one years of age and that MARYANN PYATT is eighteen years of age and a resident of this county; that both said last named persons are unmarried and that there is no legal impediments [sic] to their being joined in marriage. ELIAS [his mark} JONES. Subscribed and sworn to before me the day and year above named. G Suysler?, Probate Judge of Marion Co OH."
1860 census, Marion Co OH, Prospect Twp:
Family 1319/1320
JONES
Elias, 28, farmer, OH
Mary, 25, OH
PIATT
Mary, 73, born New Jersey
DORN?
John, 19, OH
Family 1320/1321
TUNIS
Josiah, 53, farmer, OH
Margaret, 52, OH
PIATT
Sarah, 42?, OH
DOREN?
Alexander, 14, OH
THOMAS
Mary M, 9, born Iowa
It looks like these families can be explained this way:
Elias and Mary Piatt Jones
Mary McConnell Piatt, mother of Mary Piatt Jones
John Dorn, s/o Susan Piatt Dorn; gs/o Mary McConnell Piatt
Josiah Tunis, Tunis is a New Jersey name
Margaret Tunis, unknown if a Piatt, but possibly so
Sarah Piatt, d/o Mary McConnell Piatt
Alexander Doren, s/o of Susan Piatt Dorn as above
Mary M Thomas, likely d/o William Thomas and wife Rebecca Piatt Thomas. Was she named for grandmother Mary McC Piatt?
William Thomas married Rebecca Piatt in Marion Co OH on 30 March 1842. Apparently Rebecca died between 1851 and 1854. On 14 Oct 1854 William Thomas married Hannah Piatt (Rebecca's sister) in Marion Co OH.
Ancestry has indexed Mary Piatt, 73, and Susan Piatt, 42? as PRATT. But an examination of the original record will show both as Piatt and in households of known family.
