Jacob and Elizabeth Woliver/Wolober Piatt

Jacob Piatt was born c1810-1815 in Rockingham County, Virginia to John and Rebecca Piatt. After their oldest children were born, John and Rebecca (b: 1785) Piatt removed their family to Montgomery County, Ohio, where they appeared before the 1820 census. Jacob's father died in 1830. Jacob Piatt married in 1833 in Montgomery County, Ohio, to Elizabeth Woliver / Wolober / Wolinez (marriage register shows "Wolaber") who was born c1817 in Tennessee or Pennsylvania.

Some known and suspected children of Jacob and Elizabeth Piatt are:

Jacob and family appeared on the 1850 census in Jackson Township, Montgomery County, Ohio:

  • Piatt, Jacob age 35 born VA / male / laborer
  • Piatt, Elizabeth age 33 born TN / female
  • Piatt, Margaret age 13 born OH / female
  • Piatt, John age 12 born OH / male
  • Piatt, Henry age 10 born OH / male
  • Piatt, Lavina age 8 born OH / female
  • Piatt, Eliza age 6 born OH / female
  • Piatt, John age 4 born OH / male
  • Piatt, Martha age 1 born OH / female
    This family was enumerated 18th Sept 1850 #1187/1187 pg 355. Ancestry image 45/48. Neighbors were #1182 Michael & Barbey Miller, #1183 John & Margaret Stake, #1184 Daniel & Barbara Snider, #1185 Michael & Mary Post, #1186 Reuben & Charity Wilkinson, #1188 Cristian & Sarah Coddle, #1189 Horatio & Cintha Thrush.

    In the same township was the following family who have a 12-year-old Piatt boy in their household. I suspect this is a son of Jacob and Elizabeth:

  • Str??t, John age 32 born PA / male / farmer
  • Str??t, Eliza age 31 born PA / female
  • Str??t, Catherine age 2 born PA / female
  • Str??t, Amanda age 8/12 born OH / female
  • Piatt, Jacob age 12 born OH / male
    This family was enumerated 14th Sep 1850 #1147/1147 pg 352B (indexed on pg 353).

    Jacob could be the Jacob Pyatt age 50 born Ohio in Randolph Township, Montgomery County, on the 1860 census living with the Lambert family. I do not know why he would have not lived with his family at that time.

    Jacob and Elizabeth appear as follows in Union City PO, German Township, Darke County, Ohio, on the 1870 census:

  • Piatt, Jacob age 60 born VA / WM / Farm Laborer / $0/$100 / cannot write
  • Piatt, Elisabeth age 56 born PA / WF / Keeping House / cannot read/write
  • Piatt, Luvina age 27 born OH / WF / Helps Mother / cannot read/write
    This family was enumerated #84/86. Neighbors were Abraham and Martha Puterbach (Puterbaugh) and William and Margaret Griffith. Martha and Margaret are their daughters. While the ages and place of birth for Jacob and Elizabeth are not exactly consistent with their 1850 answers, the fact that Lavinia is listed as 'helps Mother' on the occupation establishes that they are the same Jacob and Elizabeth from 1850 Montgomery County, Ohio.

    Does Elizabeth appear in German Township, Darke County, Ohio, on the 1880 census with the Abraham and Martha A Puterbaugh family? I believe Abraham may be the brother of Elizabeth's daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Puterbaugh Piatt. Also, it appears that Martha Puterbaugh is Elizabeth's daughter. They were next door neighbors on the previous census. However, Elizabeth's age should be 63 and born TN:

  • Puterbaugh, Abraham age 58 born PA / WM / Married / Farmer / mother/father born PA
  • Puterbaugh, Martha A (Wife) age 31 born OH / WF / Married / Keeping House / father/mother born PA
  • Puterbaugh, Abraham (Son) age 13 born OH / WM / Single / father born PA/mother born OH
  • Puterbaugh, Elizabeth (Daughter)age 12 born OH / WF / Single / father born PA/mother born OH
  • Puterbaugh, Barbra (Daughter) age 9 born OH / WF / Single / father born PA/mother born OH
  • Puterbaugh, Johnie (Son) age 8 born OH / WM / Single / father born PA/mother born OH
  • Puterbaugh, Lilly M (Daughter) age 4 born OH / WF / Single / father born PA/mother born OH
  • Puterbaugh, Pearl L (Daughter) age 2 born OH / WF / Single / father born PA/mother born OH
  • Elizabeth Piatt (Other) age 73 born PA / WF / Widowed / father/mother born PA
  • Owens, William (Other) age 31 born OH / WM / Single / Laborer / father/mother born PA

    Living next door was Elizabeth's son and family:

  • Piatt, John age 38 born OH / WM / Married / Laborer / father/mother born PA
  • Piatt, Elizabeth (Wife) age 31 born OH / WF / Married / Keeping House / father born PA/mother born OH
  • Piatt, Dora (Daughter) age 14 born OH / WF / Single / father/mother born OH
  • Piatt, Lilly (Daughter) age 12 born OH / WF / Single / father/mother born OH
  • Piatt, Luella C (Daughter) age 8 born OH / WF / Single / father/mother born OH
  • Piatt, John J (Son) age 6 born OH / WM / Single / father/mother born OH
  • Piatt, Mary J (Daughter) age 4 born OH / WF / Single / father/mother born OH
  • Piatt, William H (Son) age 10M born OH / WM / Single / father/mother born OH

    Some of Jacob and Elizabeth's ancestors were buried in the Green Mound Cemetery (New Madison Cemetery), Harrison Township, Darke County, Ohio.
