I was working on this family for my mother-in-law, Joseph J. Piatt's great granddaughter, when she passed away last winter. Now her sisters have asked me to continue the research.
I already have a lot of information on this family, but am particularly interested in a post to this board in January about a Samuel Harrod P

I have a gr gr great grandmother Tabitha Piatt born OHIO Feb 28 1828, and on the 1860 census says her father born VA and her mom born NY. Do you know what states your earlier Piatts were from?

Langley. Easley, SC : Southern Historical Press, c1984.
Vol. 2: 1740-1755, Books V-PP, p. 235.
Here there is a history of land transactions involving 200 acres on
Hilton Head Island, Granville Co., SC. This references Deed Book I-I,
p. 130, dated 1 Dec 1747, where Roger MOORE deeds as a gift "for love &

May, as well as an additional 700 acres bounding Goose Creek.
As to the question about whether the PIATT-PYATT-PYEATT surname is of
French Huguenot origin...
I have done some research in English records. PIATT's started
immigrating from France to England and the Netherlands in the
mid-1500's, as did individuals with the surname FLEURY. As near as I
have been able to determine, all of these families were listed as being
Huguenot.
Rene PIATT who settled in Piscataway, NJ could have arrived there either
directly from France or he could have come by way of eithe
For Anita,
Believe me I'm very sorry to say that females do not quality for the Y-DNA testing which we are doing with the Piatt Surname DNA study. The Y-DNA is passed from father to son to son to son and so on. While a father passes his Y-DNA to his daughter also, she does not pass it on to ANY of her children. Thus the Y-DNA line is broken by the female.
In a conversation with another researcher whose Piatt line had also "daughtered out" the question came up of testing long deceased old great uncle Ne
In reading the discussions on this Piatt/Pyeatt line I find myself wondering
if the spelling Pyott is ever found. I am a descendant of John Pyott b. ca
1730. His birthplace is unknown to me but he moved from Chester Co. PA to
Loudon Co VA. I have seen the name spelled as Piott, Piatt, Piggott, Potts.
Would like to know if there is a possible connection between these families.

Yes Laverne,
> Likewise we have no particpant who represents the line of NC Rev soldier Joseph Pyatt, although we are hoping to rectify that. It would appear from logic, I hope more than a hunch, that there are at least three Piatt/Pyatt immigrations--Rene of NJ, Rev War Joseph Pyatt from Staffordshire(?) ENG, and the Pyatts of the SC coast. Whether there may be a connection or not among these lines prior to arriving in the colonies could be proved or disproved by DNA testing.
I share the same suspicion
Sharolynn,
I did some research on this family back in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Actually, I visited and spoke to some of the people in 1971 that were related
in this family.
In my research I did find the Will of Mary Hughes. It was written 2/27/1754
and recorded 8/7/1754. There was no date when it was proved.
Mary Hughes signed with a mark and was made in Prince Frederick's Parish,
Craven County and was then a widow. It mentions a son Henry, under 21 years of
age who received the entire est
I will try to post my findings in a timely manner, but the house just
sold & I will be moving at the end of the month, so please be patient

Okay, we've got another John PEAT who died apparently died in
Charleston, SC in 1778. At this point in time, I haven't the slightest
clue who this guy is, so anything is possible. The only conclusion that
I have drawn is that this is most likely NOT the same as the John PYATT

For Robin,
Two other findings from the census:
indexed and recorded as BIATT:
1860, Hillsdale, Hillsdale, MI
family 513/513
Anthony BIATT, 47, France
Dorothy, 44, France
Helen, 9, NY
Caroline, 7, NY
William, 5, MI
(Now both parents were born in France, but we know the family moved to MI about 1853-1855.)
indexed as PRATT but clearly written PIATT:
1870, Hillsdale, Hillsdale, MI
family 83/85
Antony [sic] PIATT, 55, farmer, France
Fannie(?), 51, keeping house, France
William, 14, works on farm, MI
Millie
For Robin,
Yes, this Anthony is in the 1880 census at
http://www.familysearch.org
but finding him took a little work. I searched for the given name "Anthony" and soundex equivalents who were born ten years either side of 1799. Individual #634 in the list was:
Hillsdale, Hillsdale MI
Anthony PYIT, head, 76 (b 1804), b NY, farmer, Ger, Ger
Dorothy PYIT, wife, 62, b Ger, keeps house, Ger, Ger
William PYIT, son, 23, b MI, farmer, NY, Ger

Sharolynn,
Some additional facts I have pertaining to John Pyatt the son born in 1750.
He was married to Charlotte Withers. Their son John F. Pyatt married Martha
Allston.
In 1971 I spoke to Mary Louise Doyle who owned the Pyatt-Doyle house which it
was then called and one of the homes the public could visit. I have a
picture of this house. She stated they could not state for sure who the builder of
the house was but that John F.Pyatt and wife Martha Allston owned the place
before John F. death in
Sharolynn,
I did fail to mention that Mary Louise Doyle was Mrs. Arthur Hazard Doyle who
lived in this home at 630 Highmarket St., Georgetown, SC. It was on the
corner of Highmarket and Screven Streets. It was a beautiful home.
Dick Piatt, PA.
I'm not exactly sure how to best present my findings as this will most
likely need several posts to the list. Hopefully, I can do this in some
semblance of order. I'll try to group family units in each e-mail.
John PYATT, of Prince Frederick Parish, married Hannah LABRUCE, a
spinster of Prince George Parish, 28 March 1744. Their marriage license
was dated 23 Feb 1743/4. The marriage itself was performed by Rev. John
Fordice on 28 Mar 1744; John Laurens of Charles Town was listed as a
bondsman.

Thanks to you, Dick. That does help. According to a number of sources,
John PYATT, b. 1750, the son of John PYATT and Hannah LABRUCE married
three times and his 3rd wife was Charlotte WITHERS. I haven't gotten
around to collating the information I've gathered about him yet. I
spent over 2 hours writing yesterday's 2 e-mails, and have quite a bit
yet to present. I just haven't known whether to continue to post what
I've found to the list.
I know that information has been published about the PYATT-PY
Sharolynn,
It certainly is not boring to me or I would not yet be researching after 42
years. I do admit I am trying to zero in more on my elusive ancestor Isaiah
Piatt, but I do have tons of information on so many lines in the United States.
When I see something like your postings I will try to assist if possible.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Dick Piatt, PA.
Sharolynn. keep on posting! I find it fascinating reading. It makes me
question some other assumptions about the Piatt family. Besides, it's just
plain interesting. Soooo, keep on posting!

Keep posting! I am researching the John Pyott of PA and VA as a descendant
of his daughter Susannah.

Does a woman qualify for the DNA tests? If so, I will do it. As far as
I know there is no male descendent of my Piatt/Pyatt family. My grt grand
mother was a Piatt. In my grd mother's address book , it was spelled Pyatt.
All I know is grt grand mother's mother and father were Jane Smith and Moses
Piatt/Pyatt from W. Vir. also lived in Ohio where my grt grd mother was
born. No clue to who her family was at this time.

Dear All,
I've been researching the Pyatt-Pyeatt-Peat's in North and South
Carolina the past few weeks. I was planning to post the results to the
list sometime this week. There is the possibility that we have two
separate strains of the surname involved and that some researchers have
intertwined the two family groups. I want to sort out all the pages I
copied on Saturday before presenting my results.
Since I have a meeting tonight, I probably won't be able to get to this
until tomorrow. But h

Keep posting and may I add another John Piatt to the list. My anscestor John
S. Piatt born in Virginia about 1843 and died in Jackson county West
Virginia.

Has anyone done any research on the possibility that the Piatts/Pyattes originated in France and were possibly Hugenots who fled during the persecutions? My earliest Pyatte ancestor is Joseph, who came from England, fought in the Revolutionary War and settled in western NC.
