The marriage license of Hannah Peatt (as was indexed) and Isaac Armfield is abstracted from Book 1, pg 42 Hamilton County, Indiana as follows:

Isaac and Hannah had the following known children:

On the 1910 census of Minneapolis, MN, Elizabeth 'Hannah' Armfield was living with her daughter and son-in-law, Florence and Frank Williams. On this census, Hannah gives her birthplace as Ohio and that of her parents as Virginia - which bears out the Moses and Jane Piatt theory.

Florence Armfield was born May 1869 in Montford, Grant Co, WI and died January 4, 1913 Minneapolis, Minnesota. She married 29 Jun 1887 Janesville, WI, Frank Pierce Williams who was born 1870 Janesville, WI and died 22 Feb 1942 Omaha, NE. Frank was the son of Robert Williams and Harriet Parker Travis.
