Letter 30 Oct 2005 from Charlie Rodenbough, cdrsr@triad.rr.com
Larry:
Thanks for yoru quick and encouraging reply. I have the documented Bible record of the Willis Hyatt Family bible in the Philip Lopp Bible. Philip married Eliza Jane Hyatt. They forally adopted their niece, Jeannette Jane Clodfelter, daughter of David Clodfelter and Mary Elizabeth Hyatt after Mary Ann died in 1875. Jeanenette Jane Clodfelter Lopp was my wife's grandmotehr. (As you see, I do not ahve a son, Wesley Shoaf Hyatt.)I based my tie in with Joseph and Mary Hyatt on the 1820 cenus of Davison Co. and then I who other possible supporting information. All of that is tentitive. Although I ahve accumulated Hyatt information from libraries all of it depens on proving the correct line to which I should apply the information. I do have a number of photographs that I will be glad to share of this line.
I do not see any Thomas Hyatt in the notes I have. Can you give me the line you think applies to Willis from George Hyatt and Mary Wakefield through Thomas to Willis. Perhaps I can connect with some of that.
Looking forward to the exchange.
