JOE BROWN RELEASES LATEST BOOK- PROCTOR ANCESTORS
Clemmons, N. C. 27012 - September 13, 2012 - JOE BROWN today announced that he will release his latest book, book # 24, "PROCTOR ANCESTORS" on Saturday, September 22, 2012 at Diana's Book Store in Elkin at the Pumpkin Festival.
"PROCTOR ANCESTORS" covers the history of the PROCTOR, VESTAL, AYERS and WHITAKER families going back to the Tenth Century. The Proctor family and the Whitaker family goes back to England, while the Vestal (de Vassal) family and the Ayers (Le Heyr) family goes back to France.
The Vassal family goes back to the Eleventh Century and 27 Great Grandpa R. de Vassal, born in 1050 AD. 10 Great Grandpa John Vassall was the builder and owner of the 'Mayflower' ship (and other ships) that brought Pilgrims to America. The Ayers family goes back to the Tenth Century with connections to the house of the Duke of Normandy.
The Whitaker family goes back to the Eleventh Century, and 24 Great Grandpa Johias de Whitacre, who was born in 1042 AD in England. 10 Great Grandpa John Proctor, 'Ancient Planter' came to America, arriving at the Jamestown Colony in May, 1610, after surviving a shipwreck on the way.
These four families had great leadership, industrious workers, wealth and character. We had ancestors Knighted in England, as well as members of Parliament and Mayors of cities in England. It took a lot of character for our ancestors to make the long trip across the Atlantic Ocean to America back in the 17th Century. The dangerous trip was made in hope of religious freedom and a better life in America. We need to be grateful for our ancestors!

The enumeration was made 15 Nov. 1850Little Page Proctor by Ralph Harrelson
Little Page Proctor was an early pioneer in this county. In the spring of1821, he met with others in the log cabin of John Anderson to implement a county government. Proctor was one of the first three memebers of the Commissioners Court of Hamilton County, Illinois. At the fall term 1821 he was still a member of the court. He helped make the many important decisions for the county in 1821-22 and no doubt had great influence thereafter.
The name Proctor seems to be English, and means "one who rules". One of the British generals in the War of 1812 was named Proctor, but had not the character of our Hamilton County Proctors. Our Proctors were Americans, and
fought as such in the Revolutionary War.
Tecumseh, one of the great Indians of all time, himself a British general, once said to the British general Proctor: "You are not fit to command, go home and put on the petticoat of a squaw". Had Tecumseh said this to Little Page, or to his soldier brothers, they probably would have trained their trusty flint locks upon him.
Little Page Proctor was born in Virginia in 1780. He was living on the Holston River in Virginia when he volunteered for service during the War for Independence. He was in service until 1794, serving with Virginia Troops. He first served under the command of Captain Cornelius Riddle, (Riddle is a pioneer name in Hamilton County also). Proctor served under such notables as George Rogers Clark in the Kentucky Territory of Virginia. For his service Little Page was granted a pension in 1832 while living in this county.
After his service in the Revolution, Little Page remained in Kentucky for two or three years. He then settled in Gallatin County, Illinois.
In 1814, on October 18, Little Page entered at the Land Office in Shawneetown the NW 1/4 of Section 10, T 10S R9E. This quarter section was near the later a little too conceited and he proposed to put him in his place, but received a sound thrashing for his pains.
Charlie Edmonds says that he began working in the stave mill at the age of five. His job was to bundle the staves, putting 52 staves to each bundle. For which he received 10c a thousand, and could bundle eight or nine thousand a day.
A stave bolt was a length of log cut to the size for making staves. This stave bolt was steamed for 12 to 14 hours in a hot box so that it could be cut or porcessed.
The hot box was built like the ice houses of the day. Thick walls filled with saw dust to hold the steam until the bolts were softened enough that they might be cut to proper thickness for the staves.
A large knife was fastened to a table, and the stave bolt moved against it to accomplished this cutting operation in some cases. Others have said the bolt was fastened down and the knife moved against it. Antoher operation was trimming the raw edges off the staves. This was done by putting the raw edge of the stave under another big knife and tripping it so that it cut that edge of the stave off. In either of these operations if the operator get his hand or fingers under the knives they were cut off as were the staves. Quite often the men doing this work had fingers and even a hand missing.

Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
State of Illinois:
: ss
Hamilton County :
On this 18th day of September 1832, personally appeared in open Court, before the Hon. Thomas C. Browne, judge of the Circuit Court of Hamilton county, now sitting, Little Page Proctor, a resident of said county and state, aged 71 years, or thereabouts (having no record of his age) who being first duly sworn according to law doth, on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the United Sataes under the following named officers and served as herein stated: He resided upon Holston river in the state of Virginia in the year 1777, and in the last of that year or the first part of the year 1778, he volunteered under a Capt. Cornelius Riddle, who said he was authorized to recruit men to go to the relief of the inhabitants in the Virignia Territory, now called Kentucky, who were greatly exposed. He was immediately marched from the town House upon Holston and reendezvoused at Powell's Valley about the 10th of March 1778. He marched under Lieut. Hargrove (he thinks Benjamin) through the wilderness to Kentucky river, where there was a fort called Booneboro. On his arrival at this place, he found the in habitants in great distress, some thirty odd of them having been taken prisoners by the Indians & carried to Detroit in the February before. Capt. Hargrave was ordered into immediate service. He has no commander except Lieunt. Hargrove, and the principal service was guarding the fort against the Indians night and day. Shortly afterwards he was attached (with all of Lt. Hargrave's company) to Capt. Ben. Logan's, who was at Logan's Station, and while with him his service was camping, scouting and spying round the fort, mostly getting back to the fort of nights, but sometimes laying out. During the summer of 1778, Capt John Holder came out from N. Carolina. He was dressed in uniform, & said he was authorized to take command of the troops and Capt. Logan gave up to him the command of the men who had come out under Lt. Hargrave. He then enlisted under him and remained under him for about five years. He was marched from place to place, wherever the enemy was the most troublesome, and was in numerous engagements and skirmishes with the Indians -- at one time surrounded & besieged by them in Booneboro for 9 or 10 days and nights. In the fall of the 3d year after he came to Kentucky, Gen. Geo. Rogers Clark came on with a considerable body of troops, and called to his aid Capt. Holder's Company and the militia of the neighborhood and marched immediately across the Ohio River against the Shawnees, Wyandots and Sanduskies and came upon one of their towns on the Little Miami, which we surrounded and in the course of the ensuring night, the Indians attacked us and the battle was kept up till the break of day, when the Indians made their escape with a considerable loss in killed and wounded. They took in this affair between 30 and 40 prisoners, and returned with them to Boonsboro and kept them until an exchange took place for our prisoners who had been taken to Detroit. The next fall, this applicant marched again under Gen. Clark, in the same company, on another expedition against the Indians (more particularly against the Sanduskies) upon the Scioto, took two or three of their towns, and had one pretty severe battle at Sandusky town, in which the Indians were again defeated with considerabel loss of killed and wounded. He then returned to Kentucky under Capt. Holder who sent him soon after to Stroud's Station, which was commanded by Capt. John Constant, with whom he remained about two years, guarding that and other stations, wherever the danger was most eminent, until peace was given to the frontiers by the victory of Gen. Wayne in 1794. Every garrison or station had its own Captain, and wherever he moved he was placed under the Capt. of the fort. His first Captain was Riddle above named who did not come out to Kentucky till the fall after he marched from Holston, and who never took command of Hargrave's men. His next was Logan. His 3d was Hodler.His 4th Capt. James Estill, afterwards killed in a battle. His 5th Capt James Dooling . His 6th Capt. Johnson under who he served a tour of 3 months, in scouting. His 7th and last, Capt. Constant. At the time of Waynes victory, these officers were all dead or gone off, and this applicant never received one cent of pay, whether from the fact that he did not belong to the Continental money had depreciated and become valuelss, made no inquiry or demand of pay, and let the whole matter drop. He states that he was constantly in service from 1777 or '8 as above stated, till the defeat of the Indians by Gen Wayne in Aug 1794, employed as above stated. He served with no Continental regiments, unless Gen'l Clark's was one-- and whether his service was in what is called State troops, continental line, or militia, he does not know, but supposes it was in the State troops. He has no documentary evidence of his service, except the affidavits or certificates of some of his old neighbors and fellow soldiers obtained last year in Kentucky and sent on to the Treasury Department thro Genl Robinson, one of the Illinois Senators. He respectfully refers the Hon. Secretary of War to those affidavits as confirmatery of his statement made herein, and also to the positive oaths of his brother Nicholas Proctor who served with him throughout in the same service and under the same officers -- excepting that he was in one campaign across the Ohio more than this affiant was in.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.

James Estill, Saml Estill, Lieutenant. Little P. Proctor during the time he was stationed at Strodes Station served a campaign and ------ with this affiant under Genl Clark in what was called Clarks Campaign.

He also continued to do duty as a soldier and was enrolled as such whenever called on during the war. He cannot state with precision the length of time Little P. Procter served, but he must have served six or eight years or more. He was also in the fort at Boonsborough during the siege of that fort by the Indians and done his duty as a brave soldier during the whole of the Siege, and the fort was at the time commanded by C.J.'s Callaway and Boon.

Death date from IGI Gen. Lib.
This family had settled in what is now Amazonia near St. Joe, driven out by an earth quake abt 1811, said the earth shook for 3 days and nights and they took it as a sign of God "to get them out" so removed to White County, IL where Jesse then joined the War of 1812.
THE EARTHQUAKE OF 1811
This earthquake was the most remarkable phenomenon that ever occurred on the American continent within the memory of man. The shocks were repeated with more or less violence, for the space of three months, and were felt along the course of the Mississippi from Cairo to New Orleans. The central point of the convulsions appears to have been about seventy miles below the former place. The scenes which presented themselves during the earthquake, or succession of earthquakes, to speak more properly, were terrible beyond all powers of description. The first shock was felt on the night of December 16th, 1811; it made a great commotion in the waters of the river, and greatly alarmed the boatmen. The steamer Orleans, the first steamboat built in the west, was on her passage to New Orleans, and was tossed about as it were by a violent tempest. Just below New Madrid, a flat boat belonging to Richard Stump was swamped, and six men were drowned. During the various shocks, the banks of the Mississippi caved in by whole acres at a time. Large trees disappeared under the ground or were cast with frightful violence into the river. At times, the waters of the Mississippi were seen to rise up like a wall in the middle of the stream, and then suddenly rolling back would beat against either bank with terrific force. Boats of considerable size were often cast "high and dry" upon the shores of the river. Frequently a loud roaring and hissing were heard, like the escape of steam from a boiler. The water of the river was much agitated. Whole islands disappeared. On the shores, the earth opened in wide fissures, and closing again threw the water, sand and mud, in jets higher than the trees. A dense fog or mist pervaded the atmosphere. The air was impregnated with a sulphurous effluvium, and a taste of sulphur was observed in the water of the river and the neighboring springs.
Each shock of the earthquake was accompanied by what seemed to be the reports of heavy artillery. A man who was on the river in a boat at the time of one of the shocks, declares that he saw the mighty Mississippi cut in twain, while the waters poured down a vast chasm into the bowels of the earth. A moment more, and the chasm was filled, but the boat which contained this witness was crushed in the tumultuous efforts of the flood to regain its former level. The town of New Madrid, Missouri, was almost entirely destroyed by these convulsions of nature. This town, which formerly stood on a bluff bank, fifteen or twenty feet above the summer floods, sunk so low that the next rise of the water covered it to the depth of five feet. Many of the inhabitants were drowned, and the buildings generally were destroyed.
One of the lakes formed by this earthquake is nearly sixty miles long and several miles wide. The legislature of Missouri, in 1851, made an appropriation for the purpose of reclaiming the sunken lands. A more terrible calamity of this kind has rarely been recorded in the history of the world. Fortunately, it occurred at a time when that part of the country was but thinly inhabited.

The first saw mill in the precinct was one brought across the Missouri
River by Willis Hill, in the spring of 1857, the owner dying before it was
unpacked; that operation was preformed by L. P. Hiatt, who set it up and
continued to run it until the summer of 1858, when it was sold and removed to
Pawnee City...
The first hotel was that of L.P. Hiatt, a large frame building erected early in 1857, and destroyed by fire in 1863; later in 1857 put up a
substantial building for hotel purposes, which was also burned in 1862. In
1863, Strongs Hotel was burned, the Hiatt House, and in 1864.There is another grandson unaccounted for, George Hiatt, who was a pall
bearer for Sarah Estes Hiatt, wife of William K. Hiatt, March 9, 1911.

James 19 Ill.
Nancy J. 16 Ill.An incident which I (Helen Hiatt Kelsall) had heard my father William Anderson Hiatt tell many times about his Uncle Page Hiatt.
Page Hiatt lived in Illinois and one afternoon late in the Fall he was
walking to a neighbors house and about one and half miles away. He had walked some distance and noticed a panther was following him. He walked faster but the panther kept on coming. He walked even faster and came to the edge of a bluff, one side a creek the other side level. Page was a very stout big man so he made a running jump from edge of the bluff and landed on the other side as it happened near a tree. At his feet where he landed lay a big limb, he grabbed this limb whirled his back against the tree and the panther jumped on same tracks of Page. He kept his back to the tree and hollowed for dear life. The neighbors a quarter of a mile away heard the screaming and came running. The dogs frightened the panther away. The next day the panter was hunted down and killed. It was very large and old. They also measured the jump across the stream which Page and Panther made and was unusually long distance.

A large monument stood over the resting place of James Hiatt inscribed as
James husband of S.W. Hiatt died Mar. 25, 1876 aged 66ys 1mo 28ds.
James L. Hiatt took a notion that he would like to move to Iowa, which was then being settled up. He wanted to go where he could getmore land. He rode a big gray horse, his favorite.
James L. and Sarah had a big brick house and a big apple orchard. My
grandfather took a great interest in fruit. He had a big vineyard. He knew
how to take care of grapes. Their farm was not far from Des Moines.

living with them. This child was too old to be a son of Nicholas and Susannah.
So must have been a relative of one of them. He does not appear with them in other census records. In 1850 they are found in Dist. N, Caldwell Co., Mo. along with Susanna's sister, Mary Ann and family. Abt. 1851 they moved to Fremont Co., Ia. where they lived until Nicholas died in 1866. Susannah lived with their son John at the time of the 1880 and 1885 census, but it is not known where she was from 1866 to 1880 and from 1885 until her death. No death record has been found for her in Fremont Co., Ia. Susannah lists her birthplace as Kentucky (1850 Census), Illinois (1856 Iowa Census) or Tennesse (1860, 1880 and 1885 Censuses), so it is uncertain where she was born.

Mary Ann Hiatt spent her later years with her youngest daughter, Martha
Garrett Hilder. Some of the family stories she told were written down by
Martha and by Adelaide Upson Hiatt, wife of Mary Ann's nephew, "Colonel Johnson
Hiatt." Many copies of these manuscripts, very similar in data, are extant but
location of original copies is unknown. (Later research has revealed a few
errors in this data, but it is a good guide since Mary Ann knew most of the
people personally).
My 1856 Mary Ann was living in Sidney Twnshp., Fremont Co., Iowa with her
recently widowed father Jesse Hiatt.
In 1840 Mary Ann and Archie were in Middle Pct, Peoria Co., Ill. By 1850

Proctor's were Methodists, many of them ministers. Mary Ann was buried from
the Methodist Church in Wymore, Neb.
John Garret born Greenup Co., Ky according to a letter by his oldest
daughter Nancy Garrett Limings in 1923. Censuses of 1850 and 1860 prove the
year of his birth to be right, but there is no evidence to prove his parents.
Isaac Garrett and Nancy Goins (Goanes) were ever in Greenup Co., They were
married in Madison Co., Ky. 14 Nov 1811.
John Garrett died in Saunders Co., Neb. Linwood Twnshp. lists Mary Ann as a

horseback in the rain. He was thrown, broke his leg, developed pneumonia from
the exposure and died. Family data also says that he and Mary Ann were married
13+ years before his death, adding further proof that he died early in 1870.
John Garrett had married (1) 1833 Matilda Paine born ca 1813 Memphis, Tenn.
daughter of Jack Paine. There is a tradition that she was related some way to
the James Boys (Jesse et al) Matilda died Fremont Co., Iowa after 1850/1 when

and son in law, Martha Garrett and John George Hilder.
She removed with her parents from Hamilton CO., Ill between 1832-1836. (Her
father, Jesse, and older brothers Little Page and John, are listed as voters in
a Hamilton Co., election 6 Aug 1832. Her sister Susannah was married 17 Nov
1836 in Peoria, Ill.
Mary Ann Hiatt spent her later years with her youngest daughter, Martha
Garrett Hilder. Some of the family stories she told were written down by
Martha and by Adelaide Upson Hiatt, wife of Mary Ann's nephew, "Colonel Johnson
Hiatt." Many copies of these manuscripts, very similar in data, are extant but
location of original copies is unknown. (Later research has revealed a few
errors in this data, but it is a good guide since Mary Ann knew most of the
people personally).
My 1856 Mary Ann was living in Sidney Twnshp., Fremont Co., Iowa with her
recently widowed father Jesse Hiatt.
In 1840 Mary Ann and Archie were in Middle Pct, Peoria Co., Ill. By 1850
they are in Dist. N. Caldwell, Mo.
They were in Missouri about two years, where son Jesse was born. They
then removed to Fremont Co., Iowa where youngest son Joseph McAllister was
born. They first settled on unimproved land on Mill Creek about 8 miles south
of east of Sidney, then settled about 2 miles north east of Sidney.
According to family letters, Mary Ann, Archie and children were very
religous people. Though Mary Ann was of Quaker Stock, of the Hiatt side, the
Proctor's were Methodists, many of them ministers. Mary Ann was buried from
the Methodist Church in Wymore, Neb.
John Garret born Greenup Co., Ky according to a letter by his oldest
daughter Nancy Garrett Limings in 1923. Censuses of 1850 and 1860 prove the
year of his birth to be right, but there is no evidence to prove his parents.
Isaac Garrett and Nancy Goins (Goanes) were ever in Greenup Co., They were
married in Madison Co., Ky. 14 Nov 1811.
John Garrett died in Saunders Co., Neb. Linwood Twnshp. lists Mary Ann as a
widow, head of household #5. According to family date, he was coming home on
horseback in the rain. He was thrown, broke his leg, developed pneumonia from
the exposure and died. Family data also says that he and Mary Ann were married
13+ years before his death, adding further proof that he died early in 1870.
John Garrett had married (1) 1833 Matilda Paine born ca 1813 Memphis, Tenn.
daughter of Jack Paine. There is a tradition that she was related some way to
the James Boys (Jesse et al) Matilda died Fremont Co., Iowa after 1850/1 when
youngest son, Joshua, was born. Joshua appears in the census of 1870 Saunders
CO., Neb. age 19 in the household of his stepmother Mary Ann Hiatt McAllister
Garrett.
John Garrett and Matilda Paine had nine children, Nancy Garrett Limings,
Susanne Garrett McDonald, Rhoda Ann Garrett Fletcher, Elizabeth (Betty) Garrett
Green, and sons, William, John, James, Joshua, and Elijah. Not listed in order
of age except Nancy was the oldest, born about 1835.

brothers names. See under John. There was also a note that his first wife's
name was Matilda (Nancy) Paine, and it list his 9 children. This notebook also
said that John and Mary Ann were married 16 years. If correct, that would
mean, from his marriage data, that he must have died in 1873.Mrs. M. Sloats Grandmother: Mrs. Mary A. Hiatt, McAllister 1st Marriage:

Joseph and Martha Ann Hiatt FamilyPage 7 Joseph Hiatt, Living with his father and the rest of the family in Peoria Co., Ill. where he was born on Dec. 27th 1826, and where he grew into young manhood. He was a Stalwart young man, 6 feet tall, and possessing all the attributes it takes to cope with the rigorous demands of a frontier life. He ranged widely, so it was destined that he should meet and fall in love with Martha Ann Estes, dau. of Joel Estes, (A first cousin), when the family was residing in Andrew Co., Mo., near Savannah, Mo. She was 15 and he was 23 but they wanted to be married at once. However, her parents demurred, holding that she was to young to take on the responsibities of a young bride, and that she should remain under the parental roof a bit longer. Never the less, the eager insistence of the young people finally prevailed and they were married March 19, 1849.
Two years later, we find all the Hiatts in Fremont Co., Iowa, in the early days when that state was young. Jesse took out a soldiers land grant and Joseph, his son, homesteaded on a track of land in sec. 14, just north of Sidney. There were only three other families in Sidney at the time, and the nearest other settlement was St. Joseph Mo. It was said that they knew every living person in that section of the country.
Here, he took his beautiful young bride and they started their lives carreer with hight ambition and heart full of couraage, plus a pleantiful supply of intestinal fortitude that it takes to pioneer a wild new world. They hewd their home form the forest for the first forty had to be cleared, and delved their living from the soil, and thier first dwelling was a rude log cabin. They labored side by side, gradually increasing their holdings with land bought at $1.25 and acre. They took time out for a brief interim when they went on a gold hunting expedition, for this was just about the time when the entire country was at white heat in the frenzied hope of scooping up gold, after it's discovery in Calif. in the year 1849. It was said of this, that they returned with 9 pounds of gold dust which they promply put into additional acres.
Their fortune smiled upon them and the fruits of hard labor were rewarded them, the rough hewn log hut was torn down and replaced with a comfortable two story dwelling. Here they dwelt and labored for 40 years, and they prospered. Here they produced and reared their unusually large family, who all grew to manhood and womanhood on the old home place.
They were pious and kind - very religiously inclined. They were members of the Baptist Church - "Hard Shelled Baptist", they called themselves. They were ever ready to extend a helping hand when anybody in need appealed to them for help. So their "Candle of Light" did much to brighten up their world.
Thus the curtain was drawn on the lives of two sterling individuals who were the founders of a remarkable family, the descendents of whom number in the hundreds.The descendents of Joseph Hiatt have long held reunions at Glenwood, Iowa and are still active as of this year, 1991. From an article:

Joe Hiatt's house, generally known as the Lamb House, burned to the ground with all its contents, except part of two beds and a trunk, Wednesday night of last week. It was one of the oldest houses around Sidney and was built in the old fashioned way, with fire places, brick basement and 14 rooms. There was $1200 insurance on the building, but the furniture was uninsured. The cause was by a defective flue.

A Remarkable Pioneer Family
The Family of Joseph and Martha Estes HiattSIDNEY, Ia., Jan, 28, - Special: THe picture of the family of Joseph and Martha Estes Hiatt of Sidney, Iowa, shows a family of fifteen children, all married and with homes of their own. Mr. and Mrs. Hiatt came to this region in pioneer days. They were the parents of seventeen children, all of whom are living except two.
Joseph Hiatt and Martha Ann Estes were married near Savanah, Mo., in 1849, the groom being 22 and the bride 16. They came to Gremont County,Iowa, in 1851, almost 20 years before the railroads. This region was then a veritable wilderness. Council Bluffs was a straggling Mormon village, fifty miles to the north, and the next nearest town was St. Joseph, Mo., 100 miles south. Up until the beginning of the civil war the Hiatt's knew every settler in Fremont County. They homesteaded a tract of land two miles north of the present town of Sidney. Here they carved their home from the forest and delved their living from the soil. Here they toiled together until fortune smiled upon them, and the rough log hut was torn down to make place for a commodious modern dwelling. On the old homestead they dwelt for forty years, and there they reared their unusually large family, now scattered far and wide, from Iowa to California, and one daughter is a missionary in South Africa. The devoted wife and noble mother has just passed away at the age of 74. The rugged pioneer father is still hale and vigorous in mind and body at the age of 81. Mrs. Hiatt was a sister of Hon. F. M. Estes, a former representative from this county whose son, J. S. Estes, made the race for congress in 1906 in opposision to Col. W. P. Hepburn.Names written on paper over each. Picture is too weak to make a copy, must hope that someone will provide an orginal copy for publishing in later books.

HIATT - HIETT FAMILY HISTORY
VOLUME I 1951
By William Perry Johnson and the Hiatt Family Assocition of Utah
CHAPTER VIIISECOND GENERATION: WILLIAM HIATT
WILLIAM Hiatt, like his brother John, settled in Lancaster Co., Pa., prior to his removal to Virginia. The Land Office at Harrisburg, Pa., has record of William Hiett (sic). who received warrant number 32 for 200 acres on 26 January 1733, for lands to be situated on Beaver Creek. A survey was made and returned 232 acres. The survey is recorded in Survey Book K. p. 397. This tract was patented to John Eshleman in November 1809. This is also given in Penna. Archives, 3rd Series, XXIV, 423, Lancaster County Surveys, 1733-1896.
Around 1900 Kirk Brown, a genealogist (Quaker). of Baltimore, Maryland wrote to Jesse M. Hiatt: "I have lately purchased over 1000 papers formerly the property of Juhn Churchman, his son George, and his grandsons John, Miciah, and Joseph Churchman. The first John was the eminent Minister among Friends, he and two generations following him were noted surveyors, in Cecil, Chester, York, and Lancaster counties, many of the papers referred to are surveys and plats from original warrants issued for settling new lands.
"I find in the plat and survey made for William Philips, of Sadsbury Township, 1736, by John Churchman, for 112 acres of land and allowances of 6 % for roads, and etc., that William Hyatt owned adjoining land, mentioned on the draft of survey. This warrant was dated 12th of 9th month, and returned 12th of November 1736, to the Surveyor General office of Penna., Lancaster Co., being an adjoining county of Cecil." (R44). (Cecil County was in the State of Maryland while the other counties mentioned above were in Pennsylvania -- editor.)
The first documentary evidence of William Hiatt's being in Virginia is to be found on a loose sheet of Hopewell Mo. Mtg. Minutes which is preserved in Baltimore. It reads: "At our Monthly Meeting of Hopewell at Opeckon the fourth Day of the Second Month A.D. 1748: William Hiett and Alice Lowden appeared at this Meeting and declared their intentions of taking each other in marriage, this being the first time, this Meeting appoints James McGrew and Simeon Taylor to inquire into the said William Hiett's conversation and clearness in respect to marriage and what else may be needful to make report to the next Monthly Meeting accordingly.… At our Monthly Meeting at Hopewell at Opeckon 2nd Day of 3rd Month 1748: William Hiett and Alice Lowden appeared at this meeting and declared their intention of takingeach other in marriage, this being the second time, the friends appointed to inquire into the said William Hiett's conversation and clearness with others in respect their marriage, report that they find mothing to obstruct their proceeding. Therefore, this Meeting leaves them to their Liberty to consumate their said intentions when they see meet, and this Meeting appoints Lames McGrew and Simeon Taylor - to see that the marriage be decently accomplished and make report thereof to the next Monthly Meeting accordingly." (R34).
Many of the early deeds were evidently lost or destroyed, but the following have been preserved. Winchester, Frederick, Co., Va., Deed Book 2, p. 383: -24 October 1751 - William Hyatt to David Lewis - 184 acres - 5 shillings - on east side of Opeckon Creek - land granted by Lord Fairfax. Deed Book 4, p. 170, 1 September 1756 - David Lewis, of South Carolina, to William Hiatt, -- acres -- 5 shillings - both sides of Opeckan Creek 0 Turkey Spring. On 30 October 1754 the Rt. Honourable Thomas Lord Fairfax granetd land to William Hyatt of Frederick Co., Va, (Irving B. Hiett, Toledo, Ohio.) (R39).
Since some children of William Hiatt became of age in the 1750's and 1760's, it is apparent that these were by a first wife. The tradition that she was Mary Smith, a daughter or a sister of John Smith, pertains to William's mother rather than to his first wife. (See pages 32,33, this volume -- editor.) Therefore, the identity of the first wife of William Hiatt remains a mystery. At Opeckon (Opequon, or Hopewell). Friends Meeting on the 4th of 7th month 1748 William Hiett and Alice Lowden declare intentions of marriage, in the traditional Quaker custom. Alive is very probably a daughter of Renier Lowden (or Loudon). of Salem Co., New Jersey.
At Salem Mo. Mtg., Salem Co., New Jersey, om 30-11mo.-1720, Renier Lowden, a Quaker, and by occupation a tailor, was reported married to Easter (Esther? --editor.) Worthington. On 14 April 1730 the will of Renier Lowden was proven in Salem Co., New Jersey. He names children Robard (Robert -- editor_, Rachel, Eals (Alice - editor)., and not one born, to share equally his property - 100 acres in Salem County, and a house and lot in Salem. Wife Easter was Executrix to his will. The records of Philadelphia Mo. Mtg. show that Renier and Easter were there in 1726-27. Also recorded are the deaths of Rachel Lowden, son of widow Lowden, 5-8mo.-1730.
The maternal grandparents of Alice (Lowden). Hiatt were no doubt the Robert Worthington and wife who were received on certificate from Dublin Mo. Mtg., Ireland, at Salem Mo. Mtg., New Jersey, 26-5mo.-1714. One of their sons must have been the Robert Worthington who married 1729 to Mary Burtis, and was one of the earliest of Quakers to settle near Charles Town in what is now Jefferson Co., W. Va. - this was only five or ten miles from where the Hiatts settled near Middleway, in the same county. This Robert Worthington had a grant of 3000 acres of land in this section, and is known to have lived in Philadelphia, Pa., and in Burlington and Salem, New Jersey before settling in Virginia. His grandson, Thomas Worthington (1769-1827)., was fourth Governor of Ohio, and Mary Worthington, sister of Thomas, was the wife of Ohio's first Governor, Edward Tiffin. Alice Lowden may have come to Virginia with her uncle, Robert Worthington, or perhaps with her mother who probably remarried.
There was a John Lowden (d. 1714)., a Quaker who came from Ireland to Chester Co., Pa., in 1711. His son, Richard Lowden, had a grant of 300 acres in Lancaster Co., Pa., in 1734. John may have been a brother or close relative of Renier Lowden.
William Hiatt died in 1767, and in 1770 his widow, Alice (Lowden). Hiatt, married to John Thomas. The records of Hopewell Mo. Mtg., Frederick Co., Va., give the following data: 4-2mo.-1770-John Thomas disowned for marriage contrary to discipline. 5-7mo.-1770-John Thomas and wife Alyce Hyat disowned for marriage by hireling teacher. 3-3mo.-1777- John Thomas and Alice his wife gave satisfaction ( for being married by a hireling teacher). 3-11mo.-1777-John Thomas and wife Alice granted a certificate to New Garden Mo. Mtg. North Carolina. (R34). New Garden Mo. Mtg., Guilford Co.,North Carolina: 25-4mo.-1778-John Thomas and wife Alice received on certificate from Hopewell Mo. Mtg. dated 3-11mo.-1777. Deep River Mo. Mtg., Guilford Co., North Carolina, records the death of John Thomas: 13-11mo.-1781. (R45).
The immigrant Thomas ancestor was Evan Thomas who came from Wales about 1719, and settled in Philadelphia Co., Pa., within the verge of Gwynedd Mo. Mtg. In 1726 Evan Thomas and wife Catherine removed to Goshen Mo. Mtg. in Chester Co., Pa. Evan Thomas was one of Alexander Ross' seventy families, and was one of the early Quaker ministers at Hopewell. His will was dated 18-6mo.-1753, and was proven 1 April 1755, naming the following children: Evan, Jr., John, Thomas, Enos, and Martha. (R34). Evan Thomas died 4-2mo.-1755, aged about 70.
Evan Thomas, Jr., married Albenah Ross, daughter of Alexander Ross, and they were the parents of the Mary Thomas who married 1744 at Hopewell to John Hiatt (son of John Hiatt, Jr. and grandson of John Hiatt, immigrant - editor.) At Hopewell 20-12mo.-1770-David Ross, son of John, dec., married Catherine Thomas, John and Alice Thomas, Phebe Thomas, and Evan Hiett (son of John and Mary Thomas Hiatt - editor). (R34). The John Thomas who married 1770 Alice (Lowden). Hiatt, was either a son or grandson of Evan and Catherine, married 1814 Ruth (Wright). Horseman, a granddaughter of George and Martha (Wakefield ). Hiatt, thus the families of all three sons of John Hiatt, immigrant, are intermarried with this Thomas family. Martha, wife of Isaac Hiatt, (son of William and Alice (Lowden). Hiatt). may also have been of this family.

Winchester, Frederick Co., Va.: Court Orders No. 3, 1748-51: William Hiatt was appointed overseer of road from John Smith's to John Littler's, on 7 Deccember 1748. This is the first that William Hiatt appears on the court records of Frederick Co., Va.
In 1900 Oliver S. Hiatt wrote to Jesse M. Hiatt: "John Hiatt settled in vicinity of Hopewell Mo. Mtg. in 1737 and William Hiatt in 1738. This William Hiatt's first wife was Mary Smith and he bought 90 acres of land close to a village now called Smithfield and about 8 miles north of Charles Town, where John Brown wash hung. This William - tradition says - was the son of John Hiatt our emigrant ancestor.… The John who lived near William is supposed to be his brother." (R44, 47). (See pages 32,33, this volume, for a discussion of the "Mary Smith Hiatt" tradition -- editor.)

From information sent April 16, 1991 by Darleen Hiatt Peterson of Wheaton, Ill. 60189: Copy of the William Hyatt land grant 30 Oct 1754. She writes also, "I have all of his Deeds and Indentures from Frederick Co., Va but am sending only this DEED as I believe it to be quite 'special.' No grave site was found in the cemetery records there for Wm Hiatt/Hyatt for which I am so sorry.She also "enclosed several pages from the Hopewell Friends History, 1734 - 1934 which indicate the 'Marriage intentions' of William Hiatt and Alice Lowden made in the Hopewell Meeting House in 1748 before it burned down." She also recommends the society of Frederick Co., Historical Society in Winchester, Va. for a source of information.

Alice Lowden, (2) wife of William Hiatt, son of John and Margaret Hiatt.
He d. Testate by Mar 1767, Frederick CO., Va. Thought to have died in North or South Carolina** Alice Lowden (b. Abt. 1728, d. Aft. 1777)
Alice Lowden (daughter of Renier Lowden and Easter Worthington was born Abt. 1728 in Salem, Salem Co., New Jersey, and died Aft. 1777 in N or S Carolina. She married William Hiatton July 1748 in HopeWell Mo Mtg., Frederick Co., Va., son of John Hiett and Mary Smith Notes for Alice Lowden: Alice Lowden married William Hiatt sometime in July of 1748. He had been previously married and had five children by a previous marriage. He died about 1767 in Frederick Co. Va. and she was remarried to John Thomas. They evidently married outside the Hopewell Mo Mtg of the Quakers and were disowned for marriage by a hireling teacher. Later they gave satisfaction for such an indiscretion and were granted a certificate to New Garden Mo Mtg. Guilford Co. N. Carolina. John Thomas died on Nov. 13, 1781. Although this particular Thomas family does not enter into our own geneological tree, the Thomas family was prominent in the early Quakers with branches in almost every Monthly Meeting that I have seen, and one branch at the Newton Meeting in Chester Co. Penn. was in our direct lineage. Sarah Thomas, the daughter of Peter Thomas and Elizabeth (Goodwin) Thomas, was the mother of Christian Vore, our second male ancestor on this continent. The name appears in our family again as Martha Thomas, wife of Isaac Hiatt. As yet I have been unable to trace the exact lines of the Thomas family in our family. There are numerous geneological studies of other branches, some of which will probably interlink. More About Alice Lowden and William Hiatt: Marriage: July 1748, HopeWell Mo Mtg., Frederick Co., Va.. Children of Alice Lowden and William Hiatt are:
+Isaac Hiatt , b. Abt. 1751, Fredrick Co., Virginia, Now Jefferson Co, West Virginia, d. Abt. 1824, Guilford Co., North Carolina.Dear Dave, thanks for taking time to write back. I would be so very interested to see all that you do have. I may have some you may be very interested in too. BUT I don't have much at all on the Lowden side, have never really pushed it, but should and would like to, perhaps your contact will encourage that, am sure there is a lot more then what I have. I don't have anything really past Reneir Lowder but do have a lot on the Esther Worthington Side especially gong back several generations on some. I had tons of papers and information published, court records, church, etc. but most of that has become lost, not sure how much I still have or where I have it, binders full. I do have quite a bit in my files. Where does Nancy Lowden come in? I don't have anything on the siblings of Alice but following the Hiatt and associated families have thousands more to add, over 410,000 names and working near full time on my file, My file is predominantly a working, master file, most of what appears from my lines on any site is from my records with people adding to or submitting my information as I have sent most my info to hundreds of others too.
I have made up files on DVD's to send out, would love to see your other lines, I find it very rare to find others of the colonial families that do not share a few or several other family lines too. I don't find the name of Kishlar, that is odd though, does it have other variations of spelling?
I would be happy to share what I have and hope to see what you have as well. I have several books, research, families stories, histories, etc. of dozens of books on dozens of families as well as many I have reprinted, scanned, etc. for research purposes. One I am going to have finished this coming week is Irish Quakers in Ireland and America 1690 thru 1740 published in 1790, very fragile so have to type and will then try to photo it by camera to make PDF format too. Thanks, love to hear more from you on your data too. Sincerely, Larry Anderson Hi Larry You must be a full time professional genealogist. I am still pretty new at it. Anyway, I was looking for info on Nancy Lowden and came across a web site that you might be interested in. It is lowdenhistory.com It has a lot of info on the Lowden family, starting with William Lowden, son of Reiner.
