For Robin:

Capt Jacob Piatt, whose first wife was Hannah Cook McCullough, married a
second time to Mrs Martha Perry according to the Piatt Family Newsletter,
Vol 7, 1992. Other information below says that Martha Perry was Martha
Huddy who had first married William Perry.

Martha Huddy Perry Piatt's father was Joshua Huddy who was hanged by
Loyalists near Monmouth NJ in 1782, after the war was effectively over.
Some of his story can be read at:

I'll copy some information from the website of the Captain Joshua Huddy
Chapter DAR which gives some genealogical information:

http://www.geocities.com/captjhuddy/fjhuddy.html


<<Briefly I shall refer to Captain Huddy's two daughters, Elizabeth and
Martha, both of whom were named in his will. Elizabeth was born April 22,
1766. She married Mr. Nathaniel Green and Martha married a Mr. William Perry
She was buried in Cincinnati, Ohio. After his death she married a Mr. Piatt
One of Elizabeth's daughters had a descendant whose name is Anna Stratton.
She may still be living [note: this waqs 1950] and was a member of the DAR
Chapter there. This fact was verified by the NSDAR not long ago. A Mrs.
Jones, who formerly lived in Four-Mile-Colony in New Lisbon was descended
from one of Captain Huddy's sisters. Mrs. Jones once attended one of our DAR
meetings in 1932 when Judge Xenophon Huddy of Milford, another descendent of
one of Captain Huddy's sisters was a guest speaker.

Since writing the foregoing brief story regarding Captain Joshua Huddy. I
have received two interesting letters from Miss E. Ruth Rudisill (*) of
Mountain Lake Park, Maryland, who is a direct descendant of Captain Joshua
Huddy, as follows:

Her mother was Mary Coleman Perry who married John Wesley Hopkins.

Her father was Joshua Huddy Perry who married Lydia Paddock.

His mother was Martha Huddy who married William Perry August 10th, 1786, and
after his death she married a Mr. Piatt. Martha Huddy was one of Captain
Joshua Huddy's daughters.

If by chance you should go to the Old Tennent Cemetery and find a marker
near the British Soldier's (Col. William Monckton) grave with Captain Joshua
Huddy's name on it, that does not indicate that Captain Huddy is buried
there, for he is buried in the cemetery in an unmarked grave. The U.S. Army
Department placed the Huddy marker there in 1962.

In 1950 Captain Joshua Huddy Chapter, DAR erected and dedicated a bronze
plaque embedded in a large natural rock on the approximate site of the
Blockhouse. Another monument to Captain Joshua Huddy's memory stands at the
foot of Waterwitch Hill in the Highlands, marking the spot where Captain
Huddy was hung on April 12, 1782.>>


Certain DAR records indicate that 18 women have gone into DAR on Joshua
Huddy's service. Seventeen of the women descended through Martha Huddy
Perry and 1 through Elizabeth Huddy Green.
