Asael D and Elizabeth Collier Payne Piatt
Asael Daniel Piatt was born to Daniel Piatt and Elizabeth Cain on January 14, 1841, (or 1842) in Boone County, Kentucky. Asael was named for his mother's father, Asael Cain.
In 1867, Asael Piatt married Elizabeth Collier Payne who was born in January of 1849 in Fayette County, Kentucky. Asael died in 1915 and Elizabeth in 1934. Both are buried in the Lexington Cemetery, Scott County, Kentucky.
Asael and Elizabeth had eight known children:
- Augustus Daniel Piatt b: 1868 KY m: 15 Nov 1899 Cass Co, IL, Bessie Lee Crum (four children)
- Elizabeth Collier Piatt b: 1 Nov 1870 KY m: Samuel H Martin (five children)
- Jemima "Mima" Piatt b: 24 May 1877 (or 1874) KY m: Horace Logan (no children)
- Thomas Piatt b: 4 Nov 1877 Payne's Depot, Scott Co, KY m: Nancy Carr (ch: Thomas Carr Piatt; Nancy Elizabeth Piatt)
- Julia Bryan Piatt b: Nov 1879 Scott Co, KY d: c1950s m: 1901 Andrew Steele (three children)
- Harriet Piatt b: Oct 1881 KY m: John T Wason (no children)(is this 'Mattie'?)
- Robert Lee Piatt b: Sep 1886 KY (never married)
Asael and Elizabeth were living with her father, Augustus Payne, during the 1880 census of Scott County, Kentucky, federal census:
- Payne, Augustus age 69 born KY / Farmer / father/mother born KY
- Payne, Samuel (son) age 21 born KY / Farm Hand / father/mother born KY
- Piatt, Elizabeth (daughter) age 32 born KY / Keeping House / father/mother born KY
- Piatt, Oscar D {enumerator error} (son-in-law) age 39 born KY / Farm Hand / father/mother born KY
- Piatt, Augustus (grandson) age 11 born KY / In School / father/mother born KY
- Piatt, Lizzie C (granddaughter) age 9 born KY / In School / father/mother born KY
- Piatt, Mamie (graddaughter) age 6 born KY / father/mother born KY
- Smith, Monroe (boarder) age 39 born KY / Farm Hand / father/mother born KY
- Piatt, Julia (not reported) age 6/12 born KY / father/mother born KY (This family enumerated district 168 sheet 53 line 28)
It would appear that Jemima 'Mima' is enumerated as Mamie and Daniel Augustus as Augustus. A son, Thomsas, credited to Asael and born 1877 was not enumerated with this family. At three years old he is really too young to have been living with someone else. He also does not appear on the 1900 census with this family which leads me to believe that he is not their son. Does anyone have any ideas where he was, or, is he incorrectly attached to Asael and Elizabeth from some later record?
By the 1900 census of Scott County, Kentucky, Asael and family appeared as follows:
- Piatt, Asael D age 58 / born Jan 1842 KY / wm / married ? years / father/mother born KY / Farmer
- Piatt, Elizabeth C (wife) age 51 / born Jan 1849 KY / wf / married ? years / father/mother born KY / Keeping House
- Piatt, Mima (daughter) age 23 / born May 1877 KY / wf / single / father/mother born KY
- Piatt, Julia (daughter) age 20 / born Nov 1879 KY / wf / single / father/mother born KY / At School
- Piatt, Hattie (daughter) age 18 / born Oct 1881 KY / wf / single / father/mother born KY / At School
- Piatt, Robert (son) age 13 / born Sep 1886 KY / wm / single / father/mother born KY / At School
- Piatt, Russell (nephew) age 20 / born May 1880 KY / wm / single / father/mother born KY / Trader (live stock) (this family enumerated 65/9/17)
Again, Thomas is not listed with this family.
