It's hard to pin down John Hiatt to a specific locality. Early Virgina
Grants show that he had five hundred acres in Fayette County on Tates Creek of the Kentucky River, Book 8, p 229, 31 July 1783.
The first census of Kentucky reconstructed from tax lists shows John Hiatt was in Madison County, Kentucky.
Also in 1789 John Hiatt was a witness ona deed from William M. Bledsoe to
William Sprat in Lincoln County, Kentucky.
On 1 February 1799, John Hiatt bought one hundred sixty acres on Logan's
Creek in Lincoln County. Evidently he lived there until his death.
John Hiatt served on the first Grand Jury in Garrard County.
Woodford County deeds, Book A, page 132, indicate his wife was Ann Noel.
There is recorded a decree of Esses County, Virginia Court of Chancery about
slaves bequeathed by the will of Joseph Noel. They had seven children, it is
believed.
John married Lucy Gooch 14 November 1820 in Lincoln County, Knetucky. In her will she left her estate to the children of James Edwards and the children of Steven Terry, so evidently she and John did not have any children.
A deed by the heirs selling the Logan's creek land to William Hiatt
provides most of what we know about his descendants. This is in Deed Book L. p 235, Lincoln County, Kentucky and was written in June of 1821. This indicates Lucy and John were married less than a year.

Judge Frederick Hyatt was born 17th March, 1791 in a Fort on Gilbert's
Creek now in Garrett (sic) Co., Ky.. He moved with his parents to Richmond,
Madison Co., Ky.. From there he came to Missouri in Sept 1811 following Daniel Boone's trail to the Boones Lick country. He, along with 14 families made a settlement and built Mcmahan's Fort, 3 1/2 miles below the present town of Arrow Rock. He himself built the first house on the south side of the river in upper Missouri.
During the War of 1812 he returned to Kentucky, was married and after a
brief stay, returned to Missouri and settled in Florrisant Valley, where he
bought land for $3.75 an acra. In 1822 and 1823 he was appointed Justice of

He had not wasted his time. Reading and study gave him power among men and his accociates in those earlier years of the century were among the best of the region roundabout.

Governor Alexander McNair appointed him justive of the peace in St. Ferdinano township. This was in 1822 or 1823.
