.Original Notes for George Hiatt 1777CHAPTER VII
SECOND GENERATION: GEORGE HIATT
GEORGE Hiatt first appears on record in Bucks Co., Pa., in1734 when he signs a petition for the formation of Richland township--"George his X mark Hyat". (Early Friends Families of 'Upper Bucks' Pa., by Clarence V. Roberts, 1925,p. 8.) By 1746 he was a member of Fairfax Monthly Meeting in Virginia, and is known to have resided at Pipe Creek in Maryland and also at Hopewell in Virginia, before removing to New Garden Meeting in North Carolina in 1754. During this time he was involved in some difficulty with the Quakers - the exact nature of which has not been ascertained - and following is what is recorded by Fairfax Meeting pertinent to this matter:
"31 of 11 mo. 1746 - George Hyat requested a certificate in order to Join with Hopewell Monthly Meeting therefore the meeting appoints Jonathan Williams and Daniel Matthews to make the necessary Inquiry concerning him and make their report at next Monthly Meeting.
28 of 3 mo. 1748 - The friends appointed in the affair of George Hyatt report that they have done their Endeavor to Inform themselves in the affair and think it necessary to wait some longer till things appear more clear, therefore it's left under the former friends care till nextly monthly meeting here.
25 of 1 mo. 1749 - The friends formerly appointed in the affair of George Hyatt concerning his certificate report that he has acted contrary to the discipline of friends should act as they see meet (?). in the affair therefore is left under consideration till next monthly meeting.
24 of 10 mo. 1749 - George Hyatt having been formerly recommended by certificate from Hopewell Monthly Meeting to this and being removed back again hath kiong since applied to us for something as a barrier in his way which this meeting has long had under consideration and finding that he had run in to it before he removed from Hopewell and having nothing else to object against him the meeting appoints George Matthews and Daniel Matthews to prepare a certificate for him suitable to his circumstance and produce it to next monthly meeting for approbation.
31 of 1 mo. 1750 - The friends appointed to prepare a certificate for George Hyatt have produced it which was approved and signed.
31 of 5 mo. 1754 - Whereas George Hyatt formerly obtained a certificate from us to Hopewell Monthly Meeting which he never have in to that Monthly Meeting for some Reasons, and now has Brought it into this meeting again, and likewise requests another to New Garden Monthly Meeting in North Carolina this meeting under consideration finds it necessary that he should condemn his neglect and did order and produce something from his Friends and Neighbours where he lived at Hopewell and settle all his affairs at Pipe Creek, and this meeting appoints Daniel Matthews and Oliver Matthews to Inspect into that affair and if settled to produce a certificate to next monthly meeting with a copy of the same." (R43).
SECOND GENERATION: GEORGE HIATTIn 1907 Mary Coffin Johnson wrote to Jesse M. Hiatt: "I have not taken up great-great-great-grandfather George Hiatt because you and I differ a little about his story. I think I would be highly pleased with him if he was well groomed and divested of his leather clothing which he was forced those stiff old Quakers evidently made a lot of his misfortune, and he was eight years under their critical eye, 1746 - 1754, before they would clear him. I wonder if he went to North Carolina with Martha and the children. There is little evidence that he did. You will notice that the family increased pretty regularly till about the time his misfortunes are on record, and then there is six year gap, but he certainly was in North Carolina a year at least before his certificate was granted in Virginia, for Martha was all right…. On going all through my studies and notes, & etc., & etc., which I have done the past week, I have come again to the very same point that I did a few years ago concerning the earliest ancestor Hiatt and his colleagues -- if he had any -- that is, that he was first in Pennsylvania, and that the records in Philadelphia are the only ones that will most likely unearth him." (R19, 44). In 1906 she wrote: ".…I do so desire that the first original John shall be found… My Uncle John- who lived to about 90 years - knew that the Virginia family spoke some other language and thought it was Welsh' but 'could not say sure.' I think what the Indian Hiatts write, and their connections concerning the very early Hiatts, may all have come from my father's record. My book of notes and sketches was out in Indiana three months a few years ago, and a lot of them took interest in the subject and copied out of it." (R19,44).
Martha Hiatt removed from Hopewell Meeting in Frederick Co., Va., in 1751, to Cane Creek Meeting in Orange (now Alamance). Co., North Carolina. Cane Creek Mo. Meeting: 7-10mo. - 1751 - Martha Hiatt & children received on certificate from Hopewell Mo. Mtg., Va., dated 5-6mo. - 1751. On 2-5mo - 1752- Martha Hiat granted cert. To Opeckon, Pa. (R45). (Opeckon refers to the Quaker Meeting at Hopewell, near Opequon Creek, in Va., not Pa. - editor.)
New Garden Mo. Mtg., Rowan (now Guilford). co., North Carolina: "Ye 30 of ye 11 mo. 1754 - George Hyett produced a certificate from Fairfax held at Menoquesy dated ye 28th of ye 9 mo. 1754 for himself which was read and accepted. 25 of 7 mo. 1761 - "New Garden Preparative Meeting offers Martha Hiatt to be recommended to the meeting of Ministers and Elders and Overseers to be held the 7 of 8 mo. Next as a minister." 27 of 8 mo. 1768 - "New Garden Preparative Meeting informs this (Mtg.?). that Martha Hiatt requests a few lines for Martha Hiatt report it's complied with." (From the original records of New Garden Monthly Meeting, North Carolina -- editor.)
Hopewell Mo. Mtg. Frederick Co., Va.: Martha Hiett "Our Friend", produced a few lines from Friends of New Garden, NC., signifying their unity with her testimony and that her Conversation and Conduct were agreeable thereto. Esther Haines inform this meeting that she had a desire to go in Company with her mother who is lately come from Carolina intending to travel into some parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania to see her Children and relations. She the sd. Esther designing to visit some meetings that may fall in their way, and as it appears likely that she may fall in with some meetings not in the verge of our Quarterly Meeting therefore this meeting thinks fit at this time to Certify that we have good unity with her Testimony, her Life and Conversation Corresponding with her Christian Profession the 3d of the 10mo. 1768. (From the original records of Hopewell Mo. Mtg., Va. -- editor.)
SECOND GENERATION: GEORGE HIATTIn 1761 George Hiatt first appears on court of North Carolina when he was a witness to a Deed from Robert Thompson to David Edwards. Rowan Co., North Carolina, Deed Book 4, p.495 - 8 April 1761 - Robert Thompson to David Edwards - all of Rowan - 200 acres - consideration 20 pounds - land on branches of South Buffelow Creek. Wit.: George (his X mark). Hiett, and Nathan Dicks. (R49).
On the same date as above, George Hiatt makes his first known purchase of land in North Carolina. Rowan Co., North Carolina, Deed Book 4, p. 496 - 8 April 1761 - Robert Thompson to George Hiett - 200 acres - consideration 15 pounds - "On a branch of South Buffelow Creek Beginning at a forked Chestnut; and Runs thence east, 216 poles, to a Black Oak Saplin, then South 150 Poles to a Black Oak Sapin, thence West 216 Poles, to a Large White Oak on the branch, then North 150 poles to the first Station." Wit.: Nathan Dicks, and David Edwards. On 30 of 6 mo. 1764 he sells this 200 acres to Henry Sigfret for 55 pounds. Wit.: Abraham Cook, and Nathan Dicks. Signed: George (his X mark). Hiett.(R40).
George Hiatt has three more Deeds on record: Guilford Co., NC.: Book 5, p. 59 - 5 November 1788 - George Hiatt to John Maris - 8 1/2 acres - consideration 50 pounds - Horsemen (Creek). - George Hodgsons corner-Jacob Roger's line - Thomas Archer's corner - signed: George (His X mark). Hiatt. Book 5, p. 71 - 18 October 1788 - George Hiatt to Jacob Rogers - 212 acres - consideration 162 pounds - William Stanley's line - William Coffins line- Silas Williams line - Jesse Williams line - Matthias Williams a witness - signed: George (his X mark). Hiatt. Book 5, p.334 - 39 October 1788 - George Hiatt to Geo, Hodson - 73 3/4 acres - consideration 65 pounds - Buffalo (Creek). - Jacob Roger's corner - William Standley's line - Thomas Archer's line - John Maris corner - signed: George (his X mark). Hiatt. (R46).
George Hiatt owned at least 700 acres in Rowan, (later Guilford). Co., North Carolina, but sold much of it during his lifetime. He must have been very close to 95 years of age when he died the 28th of 10 mo. 1793 in Guilford. Martha, whom descendants say was a Wakefield, from Belfast, Ireland, of Scotch-Irish ancestry, died less than four months later - 12th of 2 mo. 1794. She had been a Quaker minister for a third of a century.George and Martha were members of New Garden Meeting, which records their dates of death and the names and dates of birth for their eleven children.
Following is a full copy of the will of George Hiatt, the inventory of his estate not being preserved. File No..0186 -Will Book A, p. 184 -Greensboro, Guilford Co., NC.:

When George Hiatt wrote his will on the 2nd. Of January 1793, at the approximate age of 95, at least 4 of his 11 children were dead. Of three of his daughters not the slightest mention is made in his will. His daughters Ruth and Ursula are named in the will, and his son William is named as executor. Of his son Joseph, who is known to have been living, there is no mention. This is one of the many instances where, for some reason, all children are not listed in a will, and it cannot be assumed that in such instances the unlisted children were deceased or that they never existed.
In 1790, the first Federal census (Seep age 6, this volume - editor)., George Hiatt, Guilford Co., North Carolina, was listed with 2 males over 16 years of age - including Head of Families- and three females. Besides George and Martha it is believed that they had with them the three youngest children of their son John Hiatt (d. 1767)., Martha, Susannah, and Jonathan Hiatt. Martha and Susannah are named in George's will. On the original census records George is listed next to William Hiatt, who was his son.

Subject:
Greenag Date: 9/20/2011 2:44:59 A.M. Mountain Daylight Time From: maureen2411@tiscali.co.ukHi Larry,
Hope you don't mind me replying off site but Ireland really doesn't come under the heading of Somerset !!
In reply to your question Do I come from Ireland? No I don't! I hail from Devon in the west Country of England. My husband and I were both in the Navy and he then decided that he wanted to retire back here.Paddy is the one that researches Irish family History, very difficult because alot of the records were burnt in the Four courts Fire in Dublin in 1922. I asked him about Greenag, and he went on to a site he uses( Sean Ruad) and he came up with 2 possibilities. You have to bear in mind that ag is soft over here. Anyway GREENAGH, poor law District of Killarney County Cork. The other one is now classed as being in Northern Ireland, GREENAGHAN near Larne in County Antrim.
Hope this helps. Paddy also suggested that if you are researching Irish connections that he suggests ROOTSCHAT Ireland. If you are looking at Northern Ireland he is KINGSKERSWELL and spends most of his day helping people from all over the world.
As an added thing, Kingskerswell is the name of the village in Devon that I hail from!
Bye for now
MaureenGeorge Hiatt was one of the original lines of children from the John Heyett/Hieght/Hiatt/Hiett, etc. line, Quaker Imm. of 1699. Born In Greenag, Ireland, just No. of Dublin.

Harmon Hiatt said there was also a son George, of whom no one has any record.Abstract from the Hiatt Family, Record of Edgar Hiatt
The record of the first George Hiatt, born 1698 at Greenage, three miles from Dublin, Ireland. His brother Thomas Hiatt who came to Penn. about 1733, joining the New Garden, Chester Co., Friends Meeting April 10, 1733. He states that some of the family went to Va. prior to 1759 and joines Hopewell Friends Meeting. George Hiatt married Martha Wakefield in Penn. in 1724. Martha and children took certificate from Hopewell Va. Meeting to Cane Creek NC in 1751.
George, it seems remained in Va. until 1754 and took certificate from Fairfield meeting Va. to New Garden N.C. where he was joined by Martha and children. George died 25 Oct 1793. Martha died 5 Feb 1794. To George were
born 11 children. (There seems to possibly be another, George, Jr. that is mentioned in the book of Genealogy of the HIATT family by Harmon HIATT, 1895, but says in his book: "This man is lost to all the family, no one having any knowldge of him.")

Notes for George Hiatt:
This article was found at the Randolph County Genealogy Society where they had a photo copy of a newspaper article that was found in The Winchester Journal-Herald, Saturdays issue dated December 28, 1946 written by Willard C. Heiss Among the earliest settlers in the White River Settlement of Friends were two brothers, Jonathan and Christopher and a cousin, Zachariah Hiatt. Jonathan Hiatt and his wife, Rachel, were charter members of the White River Monthly Meeting. Records fail to disclose any close affiliation of Zachariah and his family with the meeting, several of his children, however, were disowned for marrying contary to the discipline. So from those meager references to the minutes of the meeting it is to be assumed that the family still held in spirit if not in action to the teachings of their forefathers. In the case of the family of Christopher Hiatt no mention of him or any member of his family is to be found in the minutes. Although Christopher Hiatt did not seem to carry the convictions of Fox deeply in his heart, he and his descendants have the same Quaker heritage as those that hewed closer to the line. In that respect, it is interesting to point out that practically all the Hiatt's broke with the "orthodox" and joined the Hicksites during the upheaval of Quakerdom in the late 1820's. Whether these wayward Friends formed with others in a Hicksite Meeting is not known, as no Hicksite records dealing with that sect in Randolph County have been found. Also, unknown is the ultimate fate of these dissenters. And the records of White River Monthly Meeting consist of volume one of the Men's Minutes and volume one the Women's Minutes [ later records having been lost or mislaid ], it is impossible at this time to determine how many or who finally were accepted back into the meeting.
(Note--A Stephen Hiatt is mentioned in the Men's Minutes many times, and seems to have been quite active on committees and such like. It is impossible to place him as a close relative of the aforesaid Hiatt's). Antecedents Indefinite Little if anything is known definitely about the English antecedents of the Hiatt's. It is known that they were early Quaker immigrants and were in Buck's County, Pennsylvania before 1700, thought by some to have arrived with Penn on his second voyage in 1699. This ancestor was John Hiatt. A Mary Hdyot (?) mentioned in the records of the Falls Monthly Meeting (Buck's County, Pa.) in a certificate dated 1706, is thought to be the wife of John Hiatt. Three sons, George, John and William, have been assigned to John and Mary Hiatt, although they doubtlessly had other children. The Randolph County Hiatts are descendants of George Hiatt. George Hiatt war born circa 1700, probably in Bick's County, Pennsylvania. Circa 1725, he married Martha Wakefield. To this union was born the following: (I) Mary Hiatt, born April 28, 1726 married 1746 to George Pope. (II) John, born December 19, 1729 married 1752 to Sarah Hodson. (Hodgson, inserted LDA)(III) Ester, born February 1, 1731 married 1747 first to Thomas Wright, married second 1767 to Robert Haines. (IV) Ann, born December 2, 1733. (V) Ruth, Born April 1, 1735 married 1754 to Zachariah Dicks. (VI) Christopher, born October 22, 1737 married 1762 to Lydia Beals. (VII) Ursula, born December 22, 1740 married 1758 to Evan Stephens. (VIII) William, born July 1, 1742 married 1764 Charity Williams. (IX) Elizabeth, born November 12, 1745. (X) Lydia, born March 22, 1747 married first 1775 to Uriah Hunt, married second 1784 to Samuel Hoggatt. (XI) Joseph Hiatt, born April 3, 1753 married 1779 to Keziah Mills. It is not known when George and Martha Hiatt with their children, removed from Pennsylvania and settled within the verge of Hopewell Monthly Meeting, Fredrick County, Virgina; a guess would place the time near 1740. The resided here until the middle of the eighteenth century. Exactly what disdemeanor occurred, is unknown, but from 1746 to 1754 ; George Hiatt was disowned. In June 1751, Martha Hiatt and children were given certificate to Cane Creek Monthly Meeting, Alamance County, North Carolina. She and her children were received at Cane Creek in October of that same year. Was of Singular Nature In May of 1751 Martha Hiatt was given a certificate back to Virginia. The next Record minute found is in the minutes of the New Garden Monthly Meeting when George Hiatt was received on certificate 11th Mo. 30th 1754. It is strange indeed that circumstances warranted Martha to chase back and forth through wilds of North Carolina and Virginia. She must have been of a singular nature for again in 1768 she went "Northward to see her children and friends." In 1761 she was appointed a minister. George and Martha Hiatt continued within the verge of the New Garden Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina until their death. George Hiatt died October 28, 1793 and Martha Hiatt died February 12, 1794. The second child born to George and Martha Hiatt, as already noted, was John Hiatt, born December 19, 1729, in Buck's County, Pennsylvania. His marriage is Record in the Book of Marriages of New Garden Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina, as follows: :"Whereas John Hiatt son of George Hiatt of Bladen County, North Carolina and Sarah Hodson daughter of George Hodson of the same place having declared their intentions of marriage with each other before several of the Monthly Meetings of the people called Quakers at New Garden in the county aforesaid, and having the consent of parents and parties concerned their said intentions was approved of: And they left to their liberty to accomplish their marriage according to good order to which they did on the 22nd of the 4th mo. 1752 in the presents of many witnesses. Twelve of whose names are inserted. To wit: Martha Hiatt, Mary Hodgon, Hannah Ballenger, Abilgail Pike, Sarah Beals, Ann Hunt, George Hiatt, George Hodson, Henry Ballinger, Thos. Hunt, Eleazer Hunt, Thos. Beals. Sarah Hodgon was the daughter of Geroge and Mary (Thatcher) Hodson. She was born circa 1733. To John and Sarah (Hodson) Hiatt were born the following: (I) Christopher, born March 3, 1753, married 1776 to Elizabeth Mills. (II) Mary, born January 12, 1755 married 1777 to Micajah Mills. (III) George, born June 22, 1757 married 1794 to Sarah Stanley. (IV) Solomon, born November 2, 1759 married 1782 to Sarah Unthank, widow. (V) Martha, born December 21, 1761 married 1796 to Silas Maris. (VI) Susannah, born February 8, 1764 married 1795 to James Galbreath. (VII) Jonathan, born August 7, 1766 married 1792 to Rachel Williams. John Hiatt died suddenly November 28, 1767, leaving his widow to raise the seven young children. Sarah Hiatt died March 1, 1817. Both were buried at the New Garden Burying Ground, Guilford County, North Carolina. Christopher Hiatt, son of the above mentioned John and Sarah Hiatt, was one of the Randolph County Quaker pioneers. He was Born March 3 married to Elizabeth Mills on December 19, 1776. Elizabeth Mills was the daughter of Hur and Rachel Mills, she was born December 24, 1754. On page 156 of the Birth and Death Records of the New Garden Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina, we find the following birth records of births: (I) John, born March 30, 1778. (II) Jesse born July 19, 1779. (III) Rachel born May 5, 1781. (IV) Sarah born January 26, 1783. (V) Elisha born November 27, 1784. (VI) Jether born September 1, 1786. (VII) Elizabeth born January 6, 1789. (VIII) Solomon born April 13, 1791. (IX) Jonathan born April 23, 1794, probably married, 1821 to Mary Edwards, this being one of the early marriages of Randolph County, Indiana. Mentioned in 1820 Census Christopher Hiatt and family were mentioned in the census of Randolph County for 1820. He had entered land ( S E sec. 19 T20 R14 ) on September 17, 1817, the same day as his brother Jonathan. From that fact one would conclude that they arrived here about the same time as the Jonathan Hiatt family or in 1817. Thus, making them one of the earliest families to settle on the White Water River. In the clerk's office at Winchester is recorded the will of Christopher Hiatt on page 75 of the will Record Book A. His will mentions sons: John, Jesse, Solomon, Jonathan, Elisha of Grayson Co., Virginia, Jether of Clinton County, Ohio. Daughters: Rachel Hiatt, Sarah Montgomery, Elizabeth Edwards and Lavina Hiatt. Administrators were his wife, Elizabeth and Jonathan Edwards. Will was dated June 30, 1826 and recorded: July 30, 1827. Jonathan Hiatt, the brother of Christopher, was barely more than a year old when their father died. Jonathan was born, August 7, 1766. His Childhood and youth must have been shadowed with many trails as his widowed mother struggled to raise her family. While yet very young, the Revolutionary War was being waged even to the very doorsteps of the Hiatt homestead for after the Battle of Guilford Court House both American and British Troops were nursed in neighboring Quaker homes. In March of 1791, Jonathan took as his wife, Rachel Williams (daughter of Silas and Mary (Hunt) Williams). Rachel Williams was born, June 4, 1771. To Jonathan and Rachel was born twelve children. Data concerning the children is not complete, but that which is known follows: (I) John born December 17, 1791 married to Sarah Kentworthy. (II) Silas born October 14, 1793 married 1821 to Mary Davis. (III) Jacob born about 1794 married 1820 to Esther Hiatt. (IV) Mary born March 1, 1795 married December 22, 1819 to Isaiah Cox son of John and Patience Cox. (The Coxes were also among the earliest families of White River Meeting arriving about the same time as the Hiatt's) (V) Jonathan married Ruth Hiatt. (VI) Lydia married 1822 to Benjamin Harris. (VII) Richard born, November 27, 1808 married 1828 to Charlotte (Lottie) Coats, daughter of John and Sarah Coats. (The Coats family was early at White River settling there about 1819.) (IX) Sarah married 1829 to Thomas W. Coats, son of John and Sarah. (X) Nathan married 1834 to Polly Elzroth, probably the daughter of George Elzroth. (XI) Rachel married 1834 to James McDorman. (XII) Martin married 1838 to Martha Grissel, Second White Settler Tucker, in his History of Randolph County, states that Jonathan Hiatt was the second settler in the White river Settlement. Benjamin Cox being the first. This is rather problematical, but there is no doubt he was among the first. Tucker further says "he lived in a camp at first, but before very long built a hewed log house of only one story. There were but seven or eight hands and the work took them two or three days." This cabin was located on the land he had entered. It was near the White river Meeting House, that was built a few years later. He died about 1836 and his wife, Rachel died about 1851. Zachariah Hiatt was the son of Joseph, who was the brother of John, who was the father of the foregoing Christopher and Jonathan. This makes Zachariah a first cousin of Chrisopher and Jonathan. Joseph Hiatt, the father of Zachariah was the youngest son of George and Martha Hiatt. He, Joseph was born April 3, 1753. He married March 25, 1779 to Keziah Mills. To them was born: (I) Zachariah born December 1, 1779. (II) Martha born February 17, 1782 married 1803 to William Montgomery. Joseph Hiatt moved from Guilford County, North Carolina, in 1801 to the vicinity of Westfield Meeting, Surry County, North Carolina and later that year to near Mount Pleasant Meeting, Grayson County, Virginia, where he purchased land and continued to reside until his death in 1826. His home was a welcome stop for many weary friends and relatives on their trip from the Carolina's to the North West Territory. Zachariah Hiatt moved to Grayson County, Virginia, probably about the time same time as his father. He married September 17, 1803 to Anne Coffin (ancestry to follow later). To them were born nine children: (I) Moses born may 6, 1804 married 1821 to Elvina Edwards. (II) Armilla born August 5, 1805 married 1827 to George Knight. (III) Mary born 1806 married first, June 19, 1842 to Thomas W. Coats. (This was his second marriage, having married first Sarah Hiatt, daughter of Jonathan). Mary married second November 8, 1875 to William Pickett. (IV) Hepsa born April 13, 1808 married in November of 1827 to John Cox, son of Benjamin and Ann Cox. (V) Sarah was born March 26, 1810 married 1836 to Jesse Bond. (VI) Joseph born December 8, 1811 married first in 1836 to Dinah Bond, he married again to Mary (Bond Cook, widow of John Cook) and perhaps had a third wife. (VII) Keziah born July 22, 1813 ,married to Sylvanus Knight in 1830. The Knights, George and Sylvanus and their families moved to Iowa sometime prior to 1840. (VIII) Libni born December 2, 1815 died young. (IX) Martha born August 23, 1818 married 1837 Jonathan Swallow. Had Small Nursery It is not known when Zachariah Hiatt and his family left Grayson County, Virginia. It is likely that it was about the same time that Jonathan and Christopher were given certificates to the Fairfield Monthly Meeting in Ohio, 1813. No evidence shows that he settled in Clinton County, Ohio, but more likely came to Wayne County, Indiana as his wife's relatives were moving there. Tucker says that Zachariah Hiatt first settled in Wayne County. His stay must have been short as he is recorded as resident of Randolph County in the 1820 census. He entered land in White River Township in January of 1818. It has been said that Zachariah Hiatt had a small nursery that he maintained from the early date in conjunction with his farm. He died December 31, 1860 and was buried in the White River burying ground. Ann Coffin, wife of Zachariah Hiatt, was born July 12, 1777. She was the daughter of Libni and Hepsibeth (Starbuck) Coffin. The Coffin family was of old New England stock migrating from Nantucket Island to North Carolina in the middle of the eighteenth century. Tristram Coffin born in 1605, immigrated from England to Salisburg, Mass., in 1642, with his wife Julia and their children. He was one of the original purchasers of Nantucket Island. He died there in October of 1681 and his wife a year later. One of their children, John born October 30, 1647 married Deborah Austin. To John and Deborah was born Samuel on December 12, 1680. John Coffin died September 5, 1711, his wife Deborah died April4, 1718. Samuel married 1706 to Miriam Gardener and they had among other children William, who married October 4, 1740 to Priscilla Paddock. To William and Priscilla Coffin was born Libni. Libni was born August 7, 1745 married January 29, 1767 to Hepzibeth Starbuck, Daughter of Joseph and Ruth (Macy) Starbuck. She was born March 23, 1749 in Nantucket and died about 1825 in Wayne County, Indiana. Anne Hiatt died December 17, 1859 and was buried at White River. Thus furnishes an all too brief account of the Hiatt's early Quaker pioneers of Randolph County, a stock that gives their descendants a heritage of which they can be rightly proud. In due time, it is my hope to compile data concerning all early Quaker families that settled the county and if interest is manifested it will be published. If any one has any material concerning this subject mail it to the undersigned. THE WINCHESTER JOURNAL HERALD Saturday, December 28, 1946 Willard C. HeissQuaker Collection: HIATT Line [0003]

SELECTED ITEMS FROM THE GENEALOGY OF DANA, JOHN AND HEATHER HIATT
... George was first recorded in Bucks County, Pa., where in 1734 he
signed a paper for the formation of Richland township by marking "George
(his X) Hiatt". This tells us that George didn't know how to write...
George Hiatt moved from Bucks County down into Maryland and lived for
a time in the Pipe Greek Meeting neighborhood, but by 1746 he had moved on
to Virginia where he is recorded in the records of the Fairfax Monthly
Meeting, near the present town of Waterford. George was a planter like his
brothers, but apparently he bought too much land and got into financial
trouble, None of the old Quaker records describe just what it was.
We find George next in the records of the Hopewell Meeting in Virginia
for when he wanted a paper giving him permission to move to North Carolina,
they wouldn't let him have it. Even though George was not allowed to move,
his wife, Martha, was given permission and she and the younger children went
south and joined the New Garden Meeting in, Guilford County, North Carolina.
It wasn't until eight years later, when George finally must have got his
affairs in order, that he could join his family.
George was fifty-nine years old when he got to North Carolina where he
bought more land and became more prosperous. He got two hundred acres along
Buffalo Creek in Guilford County for fifteen pounds- - -a lot cheaper than
the Pennsylvania land, probably because things there were a lot less well
developed. In 1770 he bought five hundred acres for fifty shillings per
hundred acres, making his farm holdings seven hundred acres in all.
If you ever want to look up the original land grant papers, George
had one numbered 1324, and you can get a copy from the Bureau of Land
Management of the Department of the Interior in Alexandria, Virginia.
Martha Wakefield Hiatt, George's wife, was an important person in her
own right. She was a member of New Garden meeting for over forty years, and
was approved by them as a Quaker Minister in 1768 and continued in that
capacity till her death in 1794. As a Minister she travelled back and forth
from North Carolina up to Virginia stopping to speak to groups of Quakers
wherever she stopped along the way. Think of Martha, born around 1700, died
in 1794; had eleven children, the last one when she was fifty-three years old.
Martha must have been a remarkable woman. She was born a Quaker probably
in the area of Belfast, Ireland, where even today there is great conflict over
religion, It is likely that Quakers were persecuted there in the late 1600's
and being pacifists that probably why the Wakefield left and came to America,
as did so many of our ancestors, Quaker or other religions.
According to Quaker records, Martha had at least four of her children
with her in North Carolina. Some of the older ones were already grown and
married. One of her ministerial travels is recorded and says that she took
with her daughter Esther, who was by that time also a Minister, but on
her last journey she was alone all the way from Winchester, Virginia to Guilford
Courthouse, N.C., riding over mountains and through the forests that were still
Indian country at the age of seventy. For a third of a century, she was a
Quaker "elder" and sat upon the "facing bench", the raised platform at the
front of the Meeting House, where the most important members sat looking out
toward the congregation, There she sat in the New Garden Meeting during
the funeral services of a number of her own children and grandchildren.
When she died at age 94, just four months after her husband George, she had been married 69 years.
George Hiatt either sold or gave away to his children all of his
property except one hundred eleven acres before he died October 28, 1793, at around age 95. By the time George died five of his sons were already dead, leaving him fewer children to whom to bequeath anything. But George's will indicates he had very little to bequeath to anybody. Sometimes a man's will was accompanied by an inventory, a very detailed list of everything he owned, down to the number of spoons and "old buckets", There was no inventory for George and we have only the will and this is what he bequeathed; "to my daughter, Ruth Dicks, my big iron pot and hooks." "Unto my daughter, Ursly Stephens, my other iron pot called the middle size pot, and hooks," And "to my grand-daughter, Susanna Hiatt, daughter of John Hiatt, deceased, the little pot." I give unto her sister, Martha Hiatt, the Dutch oven. And all the rest of my estate I leave and bequeath unto my wife Martha Hiatt." They sold his remaining one hundred eleven acres after Martha died; the deed dated 21 February 1797.Hiatt, George, son of John and Mary (Smith) Hiett, Sr., was born circa 1698; died on Oct. 28, 1793 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. He married Martha Wakefield. It is believed that he was the first settler in what is now known as North River Mills, Hampshire County, W.Va. Source: The Descendants of Peter Simmons, by Gwen B.

Sent by I. Jo Summers and Marion Johnson.
Letter to I.Jo from Aunt Hazel Hiatt Anderson dated 4 June 1971.
Silas Kenworthy Hiatt's mother was a Kenworthy and the two families were among the very first white people to settle there in Indiana. I do not remember (if I ever knew) where they came from. Silas Hiatt was the first white baby boy to be born in what became Montgomery County later. Both familes were Quakers and early in life Silas married a young Quaker girl and had two children. The wife and born children died and I remember seeing their graves in what was then the Quaker Cem. east of town. Of course it is now Greelawn, later when he married my Grandmother, who was (not) a Quaker, he was put out of the church which was their custom at the time. I think he always resented this. He lived a year or two after Grandmother died. I do not know just when but it must have been about 1900. The house did not burn till some time after their deaths. They had a farm 2 or 3 miles southeast of Darlington and lived there until they were old and moved into Darlington. I have always understood that the Kenworthy family built the water mill which stood for more than a century near the covered bridge on Sugar Creek. It was destroyed about 20 or 25 years ago. I am not sure enough about it to state it as a fact about their building the mill.
Silas was the first male child born in Montgomery Co.
Crawfordsville's Centennial celebration and the impending Indiana Sesquicentennial have interested many people in their pioneer ancestry. The Montgomery History Society has a letter from Mrs. Nell Hiatt Talbert of Franklin, sister of Harry L. Hiatt of Darlington, regarding their family in the early history of this county.
The great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John B. Hiatt, settled in the early 1820's three and one half miles northeast of Crawfordsville, where their first Hoosier child was Silas, born on May 8, 1823. They believed him to be the first white male child born in Montgomery County.
His mother, Sarah Kenworthy Hiatt, was a practicing physician and preceded by a number of years the several women doctors in Crawfordsville. Her father, Elisha Kenworthy built the first grist mill on Sugar Creek just west of Darlington, according to Mrs. Talbert.
The Hiatt immigrant acnestor was John, who came from England in 1699 with William Penn on his second trip. The Hiatts were Quakers and fled to England to escape persecution. Harry Hiatt of Darlington and his sister, Mrs. Talbert
of Franklin, are grandchildren of Silas Hiatt. The Hiatts have lived continuously in the Darlington community.
From notes on page 60 by Marion Hiatt Johnson, her book, on John B. and Sarah Kenworthy Hiatt.
Of the five girls, I only remeber Aunt Eleanor and Aunt Belle. They both lived at Frankfort, Indiana. There was just one house between Aunt Belle's and Aunt Eleanor's house. In my young eyes of around 10 years old, I thought they
were real old. They both had leg trouble and didn't get out of the house much, so they both would sit on their upstair sunporches and talk back and forth across the way.Taken from "History of Montgomery County 1881" Beckwith page 545 Silas Hiatt, farmer and stock raiser, Darlington, is the oldest person now living who was born in this county. His parents, John and Sarah (Kenworthy) Hiatt, were natives of North Carolina, where they were married (Ed. note - wrong) and removed at an early date to Ohio, from which state they came to Union township, Montgomery County, where the subject of this memoir was born 5 August 1823. His maternal great-grandfather came to America from London previous to the revolutionary war, and served throughout the whole campaign, his grandmother hiding the valuables in the soap barrel to prevent the soldiers from carrying them off. (Ed. note - We think this is unlikely since they were Quakers, but perhaps we are wrong. Even if they did not bare firearms, they could have furnished supplies, doctored the wounded and helped in many other ways. In the history of the Hiatt's it is stated, that the wounded of both armies were taken into the New Garden Meeting house and 127 William Hiatt's (3) wife, Charity (Williams) Hiatt baken bread for them). Story continues - During his youth the Indians were still in this part of the country and when quite a little fellow he can recollect of witnessing the exodus of the aborigines,
there being a body of over 300 horsemen, beside the other members of the tribe, all dressed in gorgeous style, and presenting a gay appearence.He received his early education at the pioneer log school-house his tutor being Jedediah Bowles. Col. Clark was his companion, and sat on the same split pole bench. The education he recieved was very limited, having only att4ended
in all nine months, but during his after life, he has studied and improved himself greatly. He has followed farming since he reached his eight year and has just passed through his forty-third harvest.He married, in 1843, Miss Elizabeth Kashner, whose father was one of the early settlers of this neighborhood. His first wife having died he, in 1848 married Miss Elzira Booher, whose parents arrived here about 1830. By the latter union there is a family of seven children. Mr. Hiatt now has a splendid farm of 100 acres, well improved and in general good shape, the result of his own industry and thrift. He is a member of the IOOF and trustee of the lodge, and in politics in connected with the republican party.
Silas sold his farm in 1898 to J. Corns. Elzira died in 1900 and Silas 5 months later in 1901.
