Hiatt and told him that the first Hiatt in England came over with William the "Conqueror", and for distinquished services was madee a baron and given a large estate, and this estate and Baronstey had been handed down from one generation to another, and that his brother older than himself was not the baron (yet he was 84). He and the Baron were both bachelors. He said Lord Nelson's paymaster, (Purser) was William Hiatt, and that the record of all the Hiatt's as well as others, was fully recorded in England. He had some interest in the Illinois Central RR and was over to see to it.
Oliver S. Hiatt, of Leavenworth, Kansas, tells me that they had a talk of some length in 1893 with a grandson of Christopher Hiatt, who was 82 years old.
He told me that this understanding was that our Hiatts came from Wales, and that he had never heard of the Van Hiatt idea. This man said he thought his grandfather was a much older man than my grandfather, William, his brother.
Oliver S. Hiatt says that his grandson of Christopher's told him that Christopher Hiatt's oldest son, John, lived and died in Virginia. A daughter of Christopher's married Irwin Montgomery and they lived in Virginia. This is a new chapter in the history of the Hiatts. Drusilla Hiatt Reed has often heard her grandmother, and mine say that her "Mother-in-law" was Martha Wakefield, but never heard her say that they, George and Martha, lived in Virginia, but on the old Hiatt farm in North Carolina at New Garden.The Hiatt Family
Here is a little history of the Hiatt family that is not generally know in our branch of this numerous people. It was sent to me by Mrs. Delia Hyatt, wife of Professor Alpeus Hyatt (you can see they use the U in spelling the name, they are from Maryland.) Prof. Alpheus Hyatt, of Harvard University, resided at Cambridge, Mass. Mrs. Hyatt, who is writing a history for her husband, of the Hyatts in America, says that Pleasant Van Hyatt, of Kansas, writes her that her ancestors have always had a tradition that the name was orignially Van Hyatt. That his grandfather was Jonathan Van Haytt, who lived in Grayson Co., Virginia, in 1813. He dropped the Van as being useless.
He was a Quaker and married Rachel Williams, whose ancestry comes in a direct line from Richard Williams, grandfather of Oliver Cromwell.
This Jonathan Hyatt had a brother, George, living in Virginia at the time of the Revolution, and of whom many eccentricities were told at the time the British had him prisoner. Being a Quaker, he refused to bear arms or fight, but persisted in riding his gun like a little boy rides a broom stick. In passing along the highway he called at a house when the good lady had just taken a pail of nice hony from her bee, and he bargained with her to have all he could eat for a shilling. She gave a teaspoon to use for eating it. After eating quite a quantity, he said: "Kind lady,. please give me a larger spoon, or I shall never get enough," She said "Stranger, if you will stop now, I will give you all you eaten freely, since with a larger spoon you would eat all I have."
This Jonathan Hiatt family moved to Henry County, Indiana and had a family of twelve children. (Note from editor, this is the line of John Hiatt and Sarah Hodson, John is the son of George Hiatt #3 in Hiatt Book.)12 JAN 1839 Get Certifcate to Hamilton County, Indiana, Westfield MM.

Genealogy of the Hiatt Family According to Harmon
Hiatt
Of
Crawfordsville, IndianaJanuary 28, 1895
You will write the history of your family and the events that I probably do not know, and when you send it back to me, I will finish it up with our families. I believe Luther was a member of the Legislature, and you can all add something that I do not know.
After you have examined the record and copied such as you want to know, away back, and have read what you want to of my Land of Ophir, you can send them back to be corrected and printed or put way in the drawer. I have been ever since I came home from Chicago writing up the family and am tired enough to rest awhile. ____________ H. Hiatt.
Oliver S. Hiatt tells me that an Englishman by the name of Hiatt called on Dr. A. H. Hiatt and told him that the first Hiatt in England came over with William the “Conqueror” and for distinguished services was made a baron and given a large estate, and this estate and Baronetey had been handed down from one generation to another, and that his brother older than himself was not the baron (yet he was 84). He and the Baron were both bachelors. He said Lord Nelson’s paymaster (purser) was a William Hiatt, and that the record of all the Hiatt’s, as well as others, was fully recorded in England. He had some interest in the Illinois Central R.R. and was over to see to it.
Oliver S. Hiatt, of Leavenworth, Kansas, tells me that he had a talk of some length in 1893, which a grandson of Christopher Hiatt, who was 82 years old.

Here is a little history of the Hiatt family that is not generally known in our branch of this numerous people. It was sent to me by Mrs. Delia Hiatt, wife of Professor Alpheus Hyatt, of Harvard University, resided at Cambridge, Mass. Mrs. Hyatt, who is writing a history for her husband, of the Hyatt’s in America, says that pleasant Van Hyatt, of Kansas, writes her that his ancestors have always had a tradition that the name was originally Van HYATT. That his grandfather was Jonathan Van Hyatt, who lived in Grayson County, Virginia, in 1813. He dropped the Van as being useless. He was a Quaker and married Rachel Williams, whose ancestry comes in a direct line from Richard Williams, grandfather of Oliver Cromwell.
This Jonathan Hyatt had a brother George living in Virginia at the time of the Revolution, and of whom many centricities were told at the time of the British had him prisoner. Being a Quaker, he refused to bear arms or fight, but persisted in riding his gun like a little boy rides a broomstick. In passing along the highway he called at a house where the good lady had just taken a pail of nice honey from her bees, and he bargained with her to have all he could eat for a shilling. She gave a teaspoon to use for eating it. After eating quite a quantity, he said: “Kind lady, please give me a larger spin, or I shall never get enough.” She said: “Stranger, if you will stop now, I will give you all you have eaten freely, since with a larger spoon you would eat all I have.”
This Jonathan Hiatt family moved to Henry County, Indiana, and had a family of twelve children. Here is the name of Jonathans’ children; John, Josiah, Lydia, Silas, Martin, Jonathan, George, Richard, Sallie, Rachel, Nathan. Here we find names that our family uses very frequently, and I would naturally infer there is a close relationship. (son of John and Sarah Hodson HIATT, m. Rachel Williams)THE ANCESTRY AND HISTORY OF THE NEW GARDEN HIATT’S
The following account was found among the papers of Amer Hiatt after his death October 14th, 1877. Elijah Coffin was at great pains to get it up, and he believes it to be correct.
John Van Hiatt is said to have come from England with William Penn’s colony above the year 1690. William Hiatt claimed this John Van Hiatt as his ancestor, and William married Mary Smith in the early part of the 18th century. He lived in Maryland, and to them was born George Hiatt, who married Martha Wakefield from Ireland. This family of Hiatt’s moved to the South, some stopping in Virginia and others going to North Carolina, where a Quaker society was being formed in Guilford County, and a body of them established or set up a church or meeting called New Garden. Here, on or beside what is called the deep River Road, they erected their meetinghouse where it stands today after having been repaired. And further on this Deep River Road the Quakers build what they called the Deep River Meeting House. It was in and around these churches that Cornwallis had his camp before the battle of Guilford Court House (see plan on page).
The families of Quakers who located at or near New Garden were Enoch Macy, Timothy Russell, John Hussey, Isaiah Hunt, James Johnson, Josiah Unthank, William Baldwin, Ruth Williams, Josiah Dix, William Hiatt, Christopher Hiatt, Ann Hunt, Elizar Hunt, Thomas Jessop, and Isaac White. Now here are sixteen families of Quakers, with their locations and relative course from the meetinghouse and each other, as they were at the time of the Guilford County battle. Jonathan Jessop, son of Thomas Jessop, who was ten years old when the battle was fought, drew this sketch. This Jonathan Jessop will be referred to again as he developed into a great businessman at York, Penn. He was my great uncle.
The above settlement was quietly and peacefully going on, for the Jessop's recorded the fact of their coming from Newberne in Craven County on the Neuce River in 1722. This subject will be treated more fully when we come to speak of Thomas Jessop, he being directly related to Amer Hiatt’s family through Achsoh Willis, her mother being a Jessop. Now, it seems that the Quaker settlement was the inducement to locate in this country.
You will see by the little diagram on the next page about the location and course of each family. There were many other families in the neighborhood, but these were all that the boy drew. There was a Ballinger living right in the way between the armies.
William Hiatt and his brother Christopher lived on adjoining farms. They probably are the heirs of George Hiatt and Martha Wakefield, who first settled the farm early in the 18th century, being the only heirs, since John and George were somehow lost to the family. Further on I will explain the finding of John Hiatt.
A small creek ran through the Hiatt tract, and some one dammed it and built a mill for grinding corn.
Some of the Hiatt’s are located in Anson County at Gainsborough. Allison Hiatt had three sons, John, William, and David, but cannot trace their relationship to the Hiatt's of Guilford County. David has a son, Samuel H. Hiatt, living in Charleston, S.C.
The families near New Garden say their intermarriage constitute a very large and scattered relationship that can be traced to the old Quaker ideas engrafted there, and these great cardinal principles against war, slavery, intemperance and immorality have like the little stone seen by the Prophet, been rolling around the world, crushing and breaking to pieces other ideas, and laying the foundation of a great millennial region of peace and happiness among men.
I find in Crawfordsville a certain William Hiatt, who says his father is Silas Hiatt, and his father was John Hiatt, and his grandfather’s father again was John Hiatt, which would carry him back to be the son of George Hiatt, and a brother of William Hiatt and Christopher and an uncle of Amer Hiatt and his brothers and sisters. This is evidently the missing John Hiatt. They came from Carolina to Indiana, they say in 1823, and were Quakers. They perhaps belonged to some meeting a little way out of the common travel and became estranged to our part of the family. The name of Silas would suggest a relationship.
Now I may go on with the genealogy of our family. There may be some inaccuracies in these old dates and names, for everybody is just like we all are, hurrying through the world without record of who or what they are.
I will now go on with William Hiatt, or Guilford County, N.C. William Hiatt the father of ten children (one of whom was Amer Hiatt) married Charity Williams, daughter of Richard and Prudence Williams. Prudence was a Beale. When William Hiatt asked for the consent of Charity’s parents to their marriage, the parents objected, remarking that she was too young to marry. William replied that she would get older every day, which she did, until she was nearly 100 years old, and her descendants numbered about 300 before she died. She was buried at Spiceland, Henry County, Indiana, (?) September 19.
William Hiatt’s father was George Hiatt, son of William Hiatt, and whose mother was Mary Smith, and it is certainly true that George Hiatt’s wife was Martha Wakefield from Ireland, a Quakeress from Belfast. Charity Hiatt says her mother-in-law was Martha Wakefield. This would make William, John and George and Christopher all sons of George Hiatt and Martha Wakefield, who came from Maryland to Carolina very early in the 18th century, and these boys were all born on the Hiatt farm, where they erected a mill on a branch to grind corn. I have a distant recollection of the creek and old milldam on the farm of the Hiatt’s. Therefore, I shall consider George Hiatt the father of John, George, William and Christopher, as being the founder of our family of Hiatt’s. This George Hiatt, my great grandfather, will be Number 1, and will all go back to him. Thus, Amer Hiatt No. 3, William Hiatt No. 2, George Hiatt No. 1 (or thus, Alfred Hiatt Coe No. 6, Jessie Hiatt Coe 5, Alfred H. Hiatt 4, Amer Hiatt 3, William Hiatt 2, George Hiatt 1).
John Hiatt 2, George Hiatt 1, born (no record), married and to him was born John 3, somewhere near Guilford County, N.C. Unable to trace any other children I find in Montgomery County, Indiana, Silas Hiatt 4, and John Hiatt 4. They have sons and daughters, but I can’t trace them.
George Hiatt 2, George Hiatt 1. This man is lost to all the family, no one having any knowledge of him.
Christopher Hiatt 2, George Hiatt 1. See 1st page. This man lived on a farm adjoining the old Hiatt farm, and probably has been a part of it, he being the youngest son would be likely to settle on part of the old place. He was a saddle and harness marker, and may not have required much of the old homestead. I have no means of knowing whom he married, or how many children he had, or what became of the family. (See back 1st page).
William Hiatt 2, George Hiatt 1. Born (no record), only that he grew up on the old Hiatt farm, and that he must have obtained the farm from his father by gift or purchase, as he was providing for the youngest daughter, Rebecca, and his wife by the name of Charity till his death, which occurred in 1814. He grew up a family of ten children on this farm and turned it over to the legal heirs. His wife, Charity Williams Hiatt, holding an interest in the farm till it was bought by Amer Hiatt, and he used it about seven years, when he sold it in 1823, thus passing the old Hiatt farm out of the Hiatt possession after generations of Hiatt’s. He married in the forepart of the 18th century or before the middle of it. He married Charity Williams, daughter of Richard and Prudence Williams. There were ten children born, Joel Hiatt 3, Benajah Hiatt 3, Isom Hiatt 3, Rachel Hiatt Kersey 3, Esther Hiatt Evens 3, Ruth Hiatt Stanley 3, and Rebecca Hiatt Unthank 3.
Joel Hiatt 3, William Hiatt 2, George Hiatt 1. Born in 17(?) (No record) on the Hiatt farm, married ______ Unthank, daughter of Joseph Unthank, cousin of Josiah Unthank. She died. He married three times. Lived to be 95 years old. Married last when over 90 years. To them was born three sons and one daughter, Allen Hiatt 4, Joel W. Hiatt 4, Gula Elma Hiatt Dillon 4. One son died at Newport, Indiana.
Allen Hiatt 4 married Rhonda Hunt. Have no record of their age. Allen must have been born in 1795 or `96. He was a merchant in Milton, Wayne County, Indiana. He often collected roves of hogs and drove them to Cincinnati. He was a very good businessman. Was elected to the Legislature, served one term, then moved to Salem, Iowa, perhaps died there. To them were born two daughters, Gula Elam Hiatt White 5. He died within thrity days. Ann Hiatt Gibson 5, John Milton Hiatt 5.
Gula Elma Hiatt White was an invalid and great reader, becoming very intelligent and an interesting conversationalist. She had no children.
John Milton Hiatt was born in Milton, Wayne County, Indiana, (no record of dates). Married there and moved to Keokuk, Iowa, and ran a sawmill, getting logs that were rafted down the Mississippi River. There were children born to them (having no dates). He took some kind of an appointment from the general government and died while in Oklahoma.
Gula Elma Hiatt Dillon 4, (no record). She married a Mr. Dillon, an Eastern Yankee, who to hear him tell it, one would suppose he know it all. He claimed to have been to the Legislature and Congress. They had several children, and the last time I saw her she and her children were in a wagon and was visiting her relatives. She was at Amer Hiatt’s farm in Randolph County, Indiana.
Joel W. Hiatt 4, born (no record). Married Lydia Williams, daughter of Daniel Williams, a distinguished Quaker preacher, who had lived and preached many years in Philadelphia, PA. Joel W. Hiatt’s father, Joel, and Daniel Williams were cousins. Joel and Lydia never had any children. Joel was a very successful merchant, and a good businessman, and he and his wife, Lydia, were zealous Quakers and much esteemed in the Society of Friends.Benajah Hiatt -3-
Benajah Hiatt, born about 1750. Married Elizabeth White, a near neighbor (see plat), the daughter of Isaac White. He had a farm nearby, since I remember being there, and seeing his shop and getting strips of strings where he made addles and harnesses, having learned the business with his uncle, Christopher Hiatt 2. Benajah was a very zealous Quaker preacher. His discourses were logical and to the point, but he spoke too slowly, I used to think, when I heard him at first day meetings. He seemed to think he could advise his brothers and sisters in matters of business and religion. This disposition remained with him till the Hicksites and Orthodox division of the Quaker church, and his brother, Silas, left his Orthodoxy and joined the Hicksites. Though their farms were adjoining in Wayne County, Indiana, they never visited or talked with each other. They were estranged on account of their religious opinions. Silas was a Unitarian, and was well informed and very intelligent. His family and Benajah’s were always friends, but not very friendly. They had no social intercourse nor family talks while they lived. There were seven children born unto them; Naoma Hiatt Coffin 4, (Elijah Coffin). John Hiatt 4, (Rebecca Unthank), Mordecai Hiatt 4, (Rhoda Dix), Anna Hiatt Unthank 4, (Elis Unthank). Joel Hiatt 4, (Matilda Ferguson), Esther Hiatt White 4, (Josiah White), her second husband was Joseph Dickerson, Hanna Hiatt Dickerson 4, (Charles Dickerson).
Naoma Hiatt Coffin 4, married Elijah Coffin, who was well educated, and an accomplished schoolteacher. (He was the second teacher in my early life, the first being Sally Hubbard, who taught a summer school in a log house that the neighbors built with one log out and greased paper put in to admit light. The floor was puncheons, the seats were benches, and in this house the children were first trained). He was a clerk of Indiana yearly meeting of Friends for many years. He was a cashier of the Richmond branch of the old State Bank of Indiana during the life of its charter, and he closed it up without one cent of loss. A precise and honest businessman, and after a useful life, he died at Richmond. To them were born two sons and some daughters.
Charles F. Coffin 5, ---------------- of Ohio, had several children. Charles was distinguished as a Quaker preacher and traveled extensively, passing around the world.
William Coffin 5, was a farmer and traded largely in cattle somewhere in Kansas. Have no record of his marriage or further life.
John Hiatt 4, was a farmer. Married Rebecca Unthank, daughter of Josiah Unthank (see plate). He moved near Dublin, Indiana, where a number of families of Quakers had set up a church or meeting house called “Bethel,” near my father, Amer Hiatt’s farm, for I went to drop corn for him when I was about five years old. He moved to Henry County where the Quakers had established a flourishing society or meeting called Spiceland, where there were ten children born unto them (no record of names). They were so carful of the health of the family that they had never required the services of a doctor till they were all grown. He attended to farming systematically and intelligently, and was able to give to each child a house, which through their training, they were able to manage properly. He died in 18(?) and was nearly 95 years old. He never aspired to any office, but was a bright example of original Quakerism. His wife survived him.
Mordecai Hiatt 4, married Rhoda Dix in Carolina (see plate on page 5), then they moved to Milton, Wayne County, Indiana. He, like his father, was a saddle and harness maker, and successfully conducted the business, selling thousands of his goods and growing up a family of pleasant and intelligent children. He was consistent Quaker, and his wife, Rhoda Dix Hiatt, was a woman beloved by all her aquaintenance. I have seen him showing his goods, and if there was any defect he always pointed it out first to his customer. To them were born ten children. One he called Benajah, and I have no further record, except that one of the girls married a man (?) , lived in Richmond, and another married a (?) Clawson, and they moved to Maury County, Tennessee, where he grew thousands of bushels of potatoes for the Chicago market. Selling one season 12,000 to 15,000 bushels. She died there.
Joel Hiatt 4, married Matilda Ferguson, whose father lived on a farm south of Milton, Indiana. He, liked his father Benajah and brother Mordecai, worked at the saddle and harness trade and often went with a wagon load of goods with Mordecai to the farmers. I heard Mordecai say that Joel could always sell more goods than he could because he always covered up all defects and kept the saddle so that is could not be seen. His motto was to sell, the purchaser being his own judge of the quality. He was an exception to the Hiatt name, for he was decidedly pro slavery, and went to Kansas at the time of the border ruffian troubles to own and have slaves there to help make the state a slave state. He became a great trader in hogs and cattle, driving them to Cincinnati, from Milton, Indiana, before he moved to Kansas. In Kansas at Leavenworth he dealt largely in hogs and cattle. They had children born unto them. I never knew them nor how many they had. He died in Leavenworth, Kansas.
Anna Hiatt Unthank 4, married Eli Unthank, a cousin of William Unthank, who married Rebecca Hiatt 3, they youngest child of William and Charity Hiatt 2.
Esther Hiatt White 4, married Josiah White, had one child (Oliver White, Quaker preacher), and lives in Milton, Indiana. Josiah White died, and she married Joseph Dickerson, an Englishman, and lived in Richmond, Indiana.
Hanna Hiatt Dickerson 4, married Charles Dickerson, brother of Joseph’s, and lived in Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana.Isam Hiatt (3)
Isam Hiatt 3, married (no record) lived on Mad River between Dayton and Springfield, Ohio, near his sister, Prudence Stanley. They had some children. One, Jesse Williams Hiatt, a man of some note as a business man. One daughter, Charity Hiatt, who married Williams, and by this name she obtained the name of her grandmother, Charity Williams. Had several others, I was told, that I saw moved to Warren County, Indiana, and settled his family there. Never saw any of the family. One daughter lives near Spiceland, Henry County, I forget her name.
Silas Hiatt (3)
Silas Hiatt 3, married Anna Clary. Moved from Carolina in `21 to Wayne County near Milton and commenced to clear up a farm, but he sold and bought another one west of Milton and adjoining the village. His wife Anna died soon after, and he finally married, (?), an Eastern or New York lady who was an interesting conversationalist. He was a man of deep thought and good judgment. He went with the Hicksites and was a Unitarian, which gave great offense to his brother Benajah, and all his family agreed in opinion with him except Irena, who had lived a number of years with a Mr. Wilson, who was orthodox. Silas became more and more confirmed in his Unitarianism as he became older and died at Milton and was buried there. They had nine children; Jordan Hiatt 4, Millie Hiatt Bague 4, Ascenath (deaf and dumb) 4, Irenea Hiatt Saint 4, Edna Ann Hiatt Smith 4, Amor Hiatt Jones 4, Henry Hiatt 4, Benajah Hiatt 4, Louisa Hiatt Spencer 4, Lydia Hiatt Smith 4.
Jordan Hiatt married Edith Perris and settled on a farm west of his father’s old place which was now owned by (?) Ferris, father of his wife Edith. They remained on this farm and raised a large family of children, bright, intelligent and useful citizens. One peculiarity of Jordan was that he believed it wrong to take interest on a note for any property of money loaned. He never would have one cent for anything. He was much esteemed by his neighbors, and died on the farm where he first located.
Millie Hiatt Bague 4, I have no knowledge of her.
Asenath Hiatt 4, was deaf and dumb from infancy. Was careful of interests and happiness of her brothers and sisters. She lived to be about seventy years old and died at Milton, Indiana. I believe she was visiting her cousin, Ann Unthank, at the time of her death.
Irena Hiatt Saint 4, married Alpheus Saint. How many children she had I do not know, but she lives with a daughter, Julia Dunn, at Chillicothe, Illinois, and is now 83 years old. She has a clear and distinct memory of her early life and acts. A great reader and a good talker. She never left the old orthodox Quakers.
Elda Ann Hiatt Smith 4, married Aaron Smith and lived many years in Dublin, Indiana, to whom were born two daughters and one son. Second married (?) Jones of Harper, Kansas. Helen M. Smith married Homer A. Billings, of Onondagua County, New York, Fabius P.O. They have one daughter, Elda S. Billings. Her husband, Homer A. Billings, is a very good poet and writes for many of the papers and magazines. He has a beautiful home on the elevated land of the county about 17 miles from Syracuse Lake. The farm is land which his father bought of the U. S. Government and Homer was born and grew up and inherited the farm from his father.
Eoline G. S. McDowell, Elda Ann Hiatt’s daughter, married Andy C. McDowell, and they have three children; Grace F., Helen G., and Frank.
Hector C. Smith, son of Elda Ann Hiatt Smith, married Molly Marrow, and they have four children; Florence, Irving, Homer, and Remond, and live at 24 Prospect Ave., Plainfield N.J. This Elda Ann Hiatt, now Jones, is a good letter writer, and I have no doubt she is a pleasant talker.
Benajah Hiatt 4, died about the time he was grown and was buried at Milton, Indiana.
Henry Hiatt 4, born about 1816 or `17 married a lady from New York State, who was an advocate of woman suffrage, a very good talker and very intelligent. He was a perfectly non-resistant man in his belief and practice. Once he and some men were threshing wheat; he bore heavily down on one neighbor in a jest, and the man struck him in anger, but he did not resent, and when told that he ought to prosecute his neighbor, he said; ”No, I was in fault, I would not injure him for anything.” He never allowed himself to get angry. He settled on a farm about 9 miles from Lawrence, Kansas, and when the border ruffian troubles were on hand, he had some trouble with ruffians of a very serious nature. I cannot relate his difficulty, but he maintained his dignity, and has the farm now and has kept the Post Office at the cross roads for about 50 years.
Louisa Hiatt Spencer 4, married a man by the name of Spencer. Further than this I do not know anything of them or where they live.
Lydia Hiatt Smith Spencer 4, married a brother to Elda Ann’s husband. He moved to Lawrence and was in the grain and grocery business, general trader. Now lives near Henry Hiatt’s. I only know that they had several children. I stayed over night and day with them about 25 years ago, and was treated very kindly.PRUDENCE HIATT STANLEY (3)
Prudence Hiatt Stanley 3 married James Stanley and lived on Mad River between Dayton and Springfield, Ohio. They had a family of children. I know the names of but three; Eleazar, Rachel, Rebecca. Prudence lived to be very old.
RUTH HIATT STANLEY (3)
Ruth Hiatt Stanley 3 married Jessie Stanley. Lived near her sister Prudence and her brother Isom Hiatt. How many children they had I do not know. One was Nathan, another Mary.
RACHEL HIATT KERSEY (3)
Rachel Hiatt Kersey 3 married William Kersey and lived at “Bethel” meeting near Dublin, Indiana. They had seven children born unto them. Anna 4, married Driver Boone. Eli 4, married (?), Asher 4, married about four times and lives somewhere in Iowa. Vireling 4, married Emily Butler, studied medicine and was very successful practitioner in Richmond, Indiana for many years. Had several children. Never saw them. One is now practicing medicine in Chicago, Illinois. Silas Hiatt Kersey 4, married two or three times. Never saw his wives. I think they had, but do not know them or where they are. Silas was a physician of considerable ability and practiced in Richmond, Indiana. Mary Hiatt Sheridan 4, married George Sheridan. I do not know where they live, but likely in the vicinity of Spiceland Quaker Meeting. Charity Hiatt Kersey 4, married a Mr. Alden, and I believe live near Spiceland in Henry County, Indiana.
ESTHER HIATT EVANS (3)
Esther Hiatt Evans 3, married Jesse Evans. Had a farm west of Richmond, Indiana, about two miles. He cut off his timber and sold it for firewood and thus cleared his land. There were born to them three sons and one daughter. Jurietta married a Mr. Brown, lived on the farm, and hauled hundreds of cords of wood to town. Their boys were Risden, Ryon and P. Newby. The boys had six horse teams and hauled goods, flour, bacon and grain from Richmond to Cincinnati, and brought back loads of goods for the merchants. There was great strife between the teamsters who could haul the largest load and have the best looking team of horses. This was before the day of railroads or turnpikes. I know nothing of the boys for many years.
REBECCA HIATT UNTHANK (3)
Rebecca Hiatt Unthank was the youngest of William and Charity Hiatt’s ten children. She married William Unthank, son of Josiah Unthank (see page 5). After their marriage, they lived on the Unthank farm till, with a few others, they moved to Milton, Indiana. Among those in the caravan were some of the Hubbards. Hardy and Richard and the young woman, Sallie Hubbard, my first schoolteacher. The Hubbards had been teachers in North Carolina. Their mother some time previous was an Indian, and many of the Hubbards were given land when the Indians were removed west. Hardy Hubbard was probably Amer HIATT's teacher for the few months schooling he ever received.
Rebecca and William Unthank had six children, thus: Drusilla A., married Roland T. Reed, and had two sons, Albert and (?). Joseph Addison married C. Saint. Anna married William Cloud, and they have a number of children grown. Harriet married Jesse Gordon. Josiah married Susan Hunt. Samuel Nixon died at about 20 years old, was a fine young man, teacher.AMER HIATT (3)
Amer HIATT 3, born Jan 28, 1794 on the old William HIATT farm (see page 5), Guilford County, North Carolina. Married Achsah Willis on the 12th day of June 1816 at the Garden Quaker Meeting, according to the form of that church, and went to farming on the old HIATT farm. He acquired a common school education, and must have attended the school of the Hubbards. He read well, and was good in the first branches of arithmetic and geography. He spelled well and had a good knowledge of history and what he read he seldom forgot. I have known him to read the ancient histories of Greece and Rome, night after night, by fire light all winter long and he would then question us boys about the volumes we were reading. Hickory bark split kindlings gave us the light and no lamps on the center table. He never wanted any office or position where he would have to exercise authority over his fellowmen. He would not have any appointment by the Quaker church to which he belonged, for he desired to live at peace with all men. I remember once at a business meeting, some Friend, moved I suppose by the Spirit, said he thought of Amer Hiatt. Father arose and said; “Please take my name off, as I cannot serve.” The Friend persisted, and father said, “Take my name off, for I will not serve.” The Church founded a complaint against him for being out of unity and disowned him, and he remained several years out of the church, but was finally reinstated into fellowship.
He was very careful of notes and accounts and when he died he had every note or receipt that he had ever given or filed away. He always canceled his notes by tearing off his name and filing it away. Here are a few specimens. Here is, perhaps, the first note he ever gave when he was about 20 years old. It was for something he bought at his father’s sale. “Twelve months after date for value received, we acknowledge ourselves indebted to Benajah Hiatt or Silas Hiatt, Executors of the estate of William Hiatt, deceased, the sum of Twenty-Three dollars and eleven cents as witness our hands and seals this 3rd day of the ninth month, 1814, thst., John Haskins. A ----- name torn off, left. W---tt., and tt’s.” He made a payment on the note on January 1st, 1816 of $12, and afterwards paid it off.
He came into possession of the old place and made an agreement to care for his mother, and bought her interest in the farm for about of the above note, $24.
Here is another note that he gave a neighbor that shows the care with which common transactions were conducted in those days: “Six months after date I promise to pay Daniel Baldwin fifteen bushels of wheat for value received, as witness my hand the third day of the first month, 1817.” Test., Richard Williams. Torn off name. Paid and filed away.
This had evidently been put off until the next crop could be harvested. Whether he had borrowed wheat of his neighbor Baldwin for family use, or had bought something for the use of the farm, like stock, no one can know. I find another evidence of his care in a tax receipt carefully filed with his papers. Thus: received of Amer Hiatt seventy-three and three fourth cents, his tax in full for 1829. James Moorman, Collector, W. C. This was his tax for 1829, in Milton, Wayne Co., Indiana. He had just moved into town off a farm one and one half miles west in Payette County where his tax was much more. This receipt for his tax is on a little strip of paper about ¾ inches wide, but it contained the fact and was carefully filed away, and is now with me if called for. He was a farmer all his life. He knew no trade or profession, yet he was quite handy with the tools on repairing and fixing up the implements of the farm. He made the study of his farm the foremost, and always good crops of everything in his line. He always kept more or less products for sale, but would never contract to deliver it at a certain price ahead. He would say, “My cattle or hogs or grain will be for sale by such a time and then thee or any other buyer can have them at the price they are bringing. “ His object was to trade his produce in fine condition for market, I never knew him to misrepresent anything he had for sale, and often in telling the truth he lost money, but he abhorred deception. He died October 13, 1877, and was buried at Westfield, Hamilton County, Indiana, aged 83 years, 8 months, 16 days. He was strictly temperate, never using spiritous liquors or tobacco in any way. He was opposed to the slavery of the African race, and his whole sympathy was with them in their oppression. His dislike of the laws and practice in the slave estates tended greately to influence him to remove to Indiana, then a new state just admitted into the Union. He married Achsah Willis, daughter of Joel and Hannah Willis, who was born on the Thomas Jessop farm by the will of her father, Thomas Jessop. He left to his wife, Ann (Matthews) Jessop, one half interest in his home farm, and it was with her that Hannah Willis and Joel lived when Ashsah was born the 28th of November, 1799. Her father, Joel Willis, was born at York on the old Willis farm adjoining York on the north in York County, Pennsylvania and learned the hatting business in the village of York. Here he became acquainted with Hannah Jessop who had come with her mother to York to apprentice her son Jonathan Jessop to an old friend of hers to lean the clock and watch business. The Willises were Quakers, and Joel formed an attachment to Hannah Jessop, and they married in the old brick meeting house on the bank of Cadarus Creek, and Joel went with the widow Ann Jessop to Carolina and by the way Ann Jessop was a distinguished preacher who had visited England as a preacher by the authority of the Quakers in America. Joel and Hannah went with Ann to her home left her by Thomas Jessup’s will, a coy of which I have. This little history gives a little clue to our family of Hiatt’s and Willis, and Jessops, but I shall have occasion to refer frequently to our relationship. The poet, N. P. Willis and Fanny Fern were related to these Willesses’:. We are related to the Sisters Phoebe and Alice Cary through the Jessop family. Joel Willis’: families in Carolina were Lydia, Jonathan, Anna, Achsah, William and Jesse. Lydia and Anna married two brothers by the name of Thornburgh. Lydia and her husband located in Highland County, Ohio and died there. Anna went to Rush Country, Indiana and afterwards to Hamilton County where she died and was buried at Westfield cemetery. She had been a distinguished Quaker preacher, following the steps of her grandmother, Ann Matthews Jessop who as a Quaker traveled all over the United States and took an extended visit to England and Scotland and Wales and returning she went with Joel and Hannah Willis to Highland County, Ohio where she died in 1835 and was buried at Fall Creek Quaker Cemetery. Anna Thornburgh in imitation of her grandmother, traveled and preached for the people. She had a very musical voice and her preaching was often a lofty style of blank poetry, entertaining and interesting holding an audience spellbound to the end.
Jonathan Willis married Hanna Thornburgh, a sister of the above, and had a number of children. Their son Joel has a son living in Indianapolis. His name is Jonathan Willis.
William died when just grown up.
Jesse married Betsy Summer in Ohio. These families all had large families of children.
I now return to our mother, Achsah Hiatt, who married Amer Hiatt June 12, 1816 and went with him to live on the old William Hiatt farm with Amer’s mother Charity Hiatt and her youngest daughter Rebecca, who soon after married William Unthank, a near neighbor (see page 6). (Amer Hiatt must have bought the interest of his mother and youngest sister, for he farmed there seven years and sold it to move to Indiana, and his mother went to live with Unthank and came to Indiana with him and remained with him until she died, and was buried at Spiceland, Henry County, Indiana, when she was more than 90 years old, and a numerous progeny mourned her departure, for she had been a consistent Quaker and truly a mother to all who knew her). Here Achsah and Amer lived till the summer of 1823, and to them were born one daughter Jane, born June 3, 1817, died August 5, 1874 in Kansas. Harmon born January 20, 1819, Elaine born March 4, 1821, died September 14, 1887 buried at Westfield, Indiana. With this family Amer and Achsah moved to Indiana and bought 80 acres of land one and a half miles west of Milton, Indiana. They cut off the timber and made a farm, and on the 22nd day of October, 1823 another son was born and named Alfred Hadley Hiatt. Then was born Jesse Willis Hiatt in Randolph County, Indiana.
Achsah Willis Hiatt was a woman whose life was devoted to best interests of her children. There was no labor or service but what she was willing to bestow it on her children, if sickness preyed upon them, day or night she would watch to anticipate their wants and weary or fatigued as she might be she came with the best tender affection to the relief of either. I can now look back and see her bathing the fevered brow, or preparing some delicate morsel of food, or telling something to cheer and mend up the sick one of the family, and a thousand other things that no one but a loving mother can do. And are we who yet live truly grateful toward her. But she has gone and lies in the buried ground at Westfield, Indiana side by side with our father. She died May 12, 1878 aged 78 years, 5 months and 12 days. Achsah Hiatt was a consistent member of the Quaker church through the whole course of her life. She had several views about other churches. Her husband Amer and all her children left the Quakers and united with some branch of the Methodist Church. But nothing could induce her to leave the religious opinions of her children, widely as they might differ with her, or each other. She believed them trying to do right, with all their differences. She had some natural ability as a poet, and I have often heard her compose several stanzas as she was engaged at her everyday work. She never wrote any for publications nor did she ever have any published. But the ability to compose poetry is perhaps a family trait coming from the Jessop ancestry of the family. Her mother, Hannah Willis, had some ability in that line. Achsah never attempted to preach or teach in public. But the trait of the ancestral family seems to have followed in the families of her children, which will be seen as each one described.

Sent by Richard P. Ratcliff wrote by Thomas D. Hamm. The Antislavery Movement in henry County, Ind. published in 1987 by the Henry Co., Historical Society.
Alfred Hadley Hiatt was one of the most energetic of Henry County's early antislavery leaders. Here follows an attractive sketch of Hiatt by Charles F. Coffin (1823-1916), for many years a prominent Indiana Friend.
In the early part of the last cnetury, there lived in Guilford County, North Carolina, William Hiatt, and his wife Charity and their seven children, namely Joel, Benajah (my grandfather), Rachel, who married W. Kersey, Silas, Amer, Esther (who married Jesse Evans) and Rebecca, (who married William B. Unthank). The parents were upright, honorable people, consistent members of the Society of Friends, and as well educated and intelligent as others in the agricultural community in which they resided."
Charity Hiatt lived to be nearly ninety years of age and the writer remembers her well advanced in years as a wrinkled old woman supporting herself with a hickory stick, full of life and vitality, although bent with age, with a great vein of humor in her composition which largely descended to her children.
She died in 1840 at her daughter Rebecca's in Spiceland, Ind.
In course of time the sons all removed to Indiana and settled in the vicinity of Milton, Ind. Wayne County, Amer, the youngest son and the father of Alfred H. Hiatt, was a man of unusual force of character and of very decided views of his own, which frequently differed from those of others about him. Himself and wife were consistent members of the Society of Friends and brought their children up in the faith of their fathers. Amer Hiatt and his wife removed and settled in Randolph County, Ind. then a new country, covered by the primitive forests and with much wet land, but a good rich soil, roads almost impassable much of the year. Here Alfred grew up in habits of industry on the farm and accustomed to the regular attendance of the Friends meeting near by.
He managed to procure a fair education and later went to Cincinnati and graduated in the Medical College there. At this time there was great agitation on the slavery question and young Alfred threw himself in very earnestly on the
antislavery side and assisted with others to organize and run what was called "The Underground Railway" by which slaves were aided in escaping into Canada.
Not being satisfied with the extra conservatism of Friends where he resided and having experienced a change of heart, he joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church and soon felt called to the ministry in that church. For many years he was engaged as a 'circuit rider' in visiting the churches of that denomination in that section of the county. His life was devoted with great earnestness to the gospel ministry and the anti slavery cause, and he was exposed to no inconsiderable privation in a new country and living upon very limited means.
He continued his work however faithfully and earnestly until after the Civil War and destruction of slavery, when the cause of the existence of the church to which he belonged, (which was an offshoot from the Methodist Church on account of the supposed pro-slavery views of the latter,) seemed to cease and the church consequently declined largely in numbers until it became a very small body.
As Dr. Hiatt was not inclined to enter the ministry of any other church, he withdrew from that line of work and returned to the medical professi9on in which he continued to the close of his life. While he was a man of great firmness and was often exposed to danger on account of his antislavery views he was naturally mild and gentle and always preserved a Christian demeanor. He was universally beloved whole course of his life to be deeple interest in religious questions and once said to the writer that he had no materially changed his views but retained substantially those in which he had been educated. He was active and earnest in his connection with the Congreational Church to which he attached himself and took part in their prayer meeting and various lines of Christian work.
The association of the writer with Dr. Hiatt was close and unusually cordial. Being near the same age and closely related, it was always a pleasure to meet with him and converse upon the events of the past and those which were
to come.
He attended occasionally the Friends Meetings in Chicago and at one time at the request of the writer, spoke very acceptably as a minister dwelling on the joys of a Christian life.
The last time that the writer saw him was during the past winter soon after which the writer went South and was absent two months. We spent two hours together in his office in the most earnest and pleasant conversation, during which the suggestion was made that we were both well advanced in years and that not many years at farthest were before us. In his case it proved to be not many months. He was quiet, calm and earnest and expressed the joy it would afford him to be reunited to his wife who died a few years previously and other loved ones who had gone before but that he was patiently abiding his time.
When we parted after very cordially shaking each other hands, I remarked to him that there was something more than the ties of blood that bound us together, to which he responded most cordially. This was our last meeting, as upon my return from the South I did not see him until his death occurred.
It is rarely that we will meet with a more earnest, gentle, Christian man, one whose whole bearing indicated the depth of his Christian life and character. We can almost imagine the joy he felt when he heard the welcome message, "Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
