According to a book I read western Kentucky suffered severe cholera
epidemics in 182?, 1829-1832. Also of significance was the 1852 completion of
the train line connecting Crittendon County to points west.
Our Patrick and Margeret packed up their family immediately and accoring to
Hannah they were settled "on a small hilly farm" about 5 miles from Sidney in
Fremont County by the end of the year, near her brothers-one owned a farm and
another ran a butcher shop in nearby Thurman! After the experiences of covered
wagons, etc of their parents as they migrated from Virginia and South Carolina
through Georgia and Tennessee, the train must have been as miraculous as
airplane travel!
On the 1850 KYFC you will find our newlyweds 1 Dec 1847 or 1 Jan 1848
Patrick and Margeret immediately after David and Minerva. His parents David
and Elizabeth Hamilton Kimsey are just down the road.

Judge Frederick Hyatt was born 17th March, 1791 in a Fort on Gilbert's
Creek now in Garrett (sic) Co., Ky.. He moved with his parents to Richmond,
Madison Co., Ky.. From there he came to Missouri in Sept 1811 following Daniel Boone's trail to the Boones Lick country. He, along with 14 families made a settlement and built Mcmahan's Fort, 3 1/2 miles below the present town of Arrow Rock. He himself built the first house on the south side of the river in upper Missouri.
During the War of 1812 he returned to Kentucky, was married and after a
brief stay, returned to Missouri and settled in Florrisant Valley, where he
bought land for $3.75 an acra. In 1822 and 1823 he was appointed Justice of
the Peace by Gov. Alex McNair in St. Ferdinand Township.

deceased, by Hon. John F. Darby.
Frederick Hyatt engaged in flat boating on the Missouri River as early as 1816-1817.
Florissant Valley Historical Society Page 1472 History of Saint Louis - Scharff.
One of the marked characters of Early St. Louis was Judge Fredrick Hyatt, of the county court, afterwards for many years a legislator, and as such taking active part in the most exciting political events. Born in Madison County, Ky in 1790 and enjoying only common school facilities, he came to Missouri in 1815 or thereabouts and became engaged in Flat-boating on the river. He settled in St. Ferdinand Township, St. Louis Co., about 1819 and was one of the first to cultiviate the soil in that Garden spot, the beautiful Florissant Valley, now so blooming with flowers, overflowing with abundant crops, crowded with homes of wealth and refinement. He had not wasted his time. Reading and study gave him power among men and his accociates in those earlier years of the century were among the best of the region roundabout. As a farmer, he realized his duties in the community taking active part in Neighborhood improvements roads, bridges, schoolhouses, churches. Governor Alexander McNair appointed him justive of the peace in St. Ferdinano township. This was in 1822 or 1823. He afterwards became collector of revenues and taxes for St. Louis County and still later judge of the county court, preforming all these duties efficienty.
In all Judge Hyatt was a member of the legislature for about 20 years.He was listed as a resident in the census report in Loncol Co., KY 23 August 1800 (This is probably an uncle of this Frederick) Lincoln Co, KY, DB G,p. 51, 27 June 1810: Frederick Hyatt of Lincoln Co., bought 103 acresby Logan Creek for $700.00, from Peter & Peggy Higgins. This is NOT the Frederick Hiatt (also had a brother, William), who resided in St.Louis, MO.
