For Marianne,

Keep up the good work! I've printed your Stephen and Mary McConnell Piatt information in case I can get to Marion Co OH in the next couple months. There is much work to be done there still.

In the meantime I can share the 1840 census according to Ancestry. You had listed Andrew, John, and Stepen in Green Camp Township and Catherine and James in Center Township of Marion Co. First, I cannot get a Catherine or James of any surname to show up in Center Township. Indeed, Ancestry says there is only one Catherine in all of Marion Co and she's not a Piatt. But I have the Green Camp Township listings:

1840 Marion Co OH, Green Camp Township
TUNIS, Josiah
1 male 30-40
1 female 20-30
1 female 30-40

PIATT, Andrew
1 male 20-30
1 female 20-30
1 female under 5

PIATT, Stepen [as in original record]
1 male 15-20
1 male 20-30
1 male 40-50
1 female 5-10
2 females 10-15
2 females 15-20
1 female 20-30
1 female 50-60

TUNIS, James
1 male under 5
1 male 10-15
1 male 30-40
2 females under 5
1 female 10-15
1 female 20-30

JONES, John
1 male under 5
1 male 20-30
1 female under 5
1 female 10-15
1 female 30-40

JONES, William
1 male 20-30

These six families are listed right down the page so would be neighbors.


Also from 1850:

1850 Marion Co OH, Prospect Twp, 18 Sep 1850

326/329
JONES, David, 33, laborer, PA
Eliza A, 32, OH
Charles, 3, OH
Josiah, 2, OH
James 5/12, OH

327/330
TUNIS, Josiah, 43 farmer, OH
Margaret, 42, VA
SARAH PIATTE, 34, OH
JOHN DORN, 9, OH
Alexander, 5, OH [census does not indicate Alex is a DORN]
REBECCA BARRICKMAN, 92, NJ

328/321
PIATTE, Stephen, 60, none, VA
Mary, 64, NJ
William, 23, laborer, OH
Dabitha, 22, OH
Hannah, 21, OH
Mary A 17, OH
SUSAN DORN, 39, OH

Rebecca Barrickman, 92, born NJ is an interesting listing. Piatt Family Newsletter has a brief mention of a Barrickman in an article from an old paper. A small portion is extracted here:

>From THE GENIUS OF LIBERTY, a newspaper established in 1805 in Uniontown, Fayette Co PA, issue dated 19 Feb 1885. The author of the diary written in 1785 near Pittsburgh is unknown.

<<When I asked him where the others were, he said they were on the other side and could not cross for want of money to pay the ferriage, and that he with the rest had waited from sun an hour high last evening, and with much ado it was that he persuaded the ferryman to let him cross, in short he told a very unwelcome tale, withal complained that he was a little sick. We then went to Nicholas' and got a slug, then breakfast and went and borrowed a canoe and fetched them across. Got a keg of flour from Daddy Piatt and concluded that myself, George Dillinger and Henry Barrickman would go up the river to one Widow Spears', where our canoe and loading were left, and between both canoes would fetch our loading down.>>
