(29.) ELIZABETH HIATT (3.) (1.):b. 12-11mo-1745, prob. in Va.; prob. died young or unmarried; no further record of her has been found.
Information from the Harmon Hiatt records, written in 1895, sent us by Amer Hiatt.
During the Revolutionary War William and Charity Williams Hiatt nursed the soldiers at Guilford County, N.C. Quaker Church. They took seats all out and put in cots.
Speaking of New Garden MM, Guilford Co., N.C. This settlement appearing to have began about 1722, as that is when Thomas Jessup moved there from Newberne, in Craven Co., on the Neuce River.
See HH book, pg. 85 for drawing of settlement, with settlers places during the Rev. War.
William Hiatt and his brother Christopher lived on adjoining farms. They probably being the heirs of George Hiatt and Martha Wakefield, who first settled the farm in the early 18th century, being the only heirs, since John and George were somehow lost to the family.
A small creek ran through the Hiatt tract, and some one dammed it and built a mill for grinding corn.
Some of the Hiatts are located in Anson Co. at Wainsborough. Allison Hiatt had three sons, John, William, and David, but cannot trace their relationship to the Hiatts of Guilford Co. David has a son, Samuel H. Hiatt living in Charleston, S.C.
William Hiatt grew up on the Hiatt farm in Guilford Co., N.C. He must have obtained the farm from his father by gift or purchase as he was providing for the youngest dau., Rebecca, and his wife, Charity, till his death which occured in 1814. He grew up a family of 10 children on this farm and turned it over to the legal heirs. His wife, Charity William Hiatt, holding an interest in the farm till it was bought by Amer Hiatt, and he used it about 7 years. Then he sold in 1823, thus passing the old Hiatt farm out of the Hiatt possession after having been the birth place and home of 3 generations of Hiatts.
I will now go on with William Hiatt, of Guilford County, N.C., William Hiatt the father of ten children (one of whom was Amer Hiatt), marrieed Charity Williams, daughter of Richard and Preudence Williams, Prudence was a Beale. When William Hiatt asked for the consent of Charity's parents to their marriage, the parents objected, remaking that she was too young to marry. William replied that she would get older every day, which she did, till she was nearly 100 years old, and her descendants numbered about 300 before she died. She was buried at Spiceland, Henry Co., Ind.
Williams Hiatt's father was George Hiatt, the meeting house called "Bethel" near my father, Amer Hiatt's farm, for I went to drop corn for him when I was about five years old. He moved to Henry County where the Quakers
had established a flourishing society or meeting called Spiceland, where there were ten children born unto them (no record of names). They were so careful of the health of the family that they had never required the services of a doctor till they were all grown. He attended to farming systematically and intelligently, and was able to give to each child a house, which, through their training, they were ablee to manage properly. When he died he was nearly 95 years old. He never aspired to any office, but was a bright example of original Quakerism. His wife survived him.

Of the list of children of Martha and George, CHRISTOPHER is the one we are going to follow because he was your five-greats-grandfather.
When you study American history and the Revolutionary War, you don't always realize that not all the important action took place in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. There was a lot of action in the South, and one of the important battles was fought practically in Christopher Hiatt's front yard---the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. I have a map that shows where the British and American armies moved back and forth, and it shows the houses of many of the Quakers whose names appear on your ancestor chart. I am enclosing part of that map that shows where Christopher Hiatt's house was. I have also copied a map out of Mr. Johnson's Book that shows an even smaller part of the battle area showing what a difficult and dangerous position the Quakers were caught in.
Fighting of any kind was contrary to their religious beliefs, and warfare was unthinkable, but the pressures on them must have been enormous, It is reported that Christopher Hiatt acted as a guide to General Green of the American forces and he was arrested along with other Quakers by the British, but they were released as non-combatants when they explained their Quaker beliefs. Their womenfolk baked bread for the soldiers on both sides and one writer reports American soldiers molded their lead bullets in Martha's kitchen. The Quakers tried to help anybody who needed it and they allowed their homes to be occupied, their hay and grain commandeered and their Meeting House used for temporary medical headquarters by the British. The New Garden Meeting House was in the process of being built to replace the original log one and large boards had not yet been installed in the ceiling. They'd been stacked alongside the building, but were carried inside and used for operating tables and beds for the wounded soldiers. Years later it is said you could it in Meeting and look up at the brown blood stains on the ceiling from the blood of the British soldiers, six of whom were buried outside in the Quaker cemetery.
Christopher Hiatt was born in 1737 Martha went to North Carolina. In 1762 a prominent Quaker family. Christopher children were given names we never hear and was around two years old when he married Lydia Beals, daughter of and Lydia had eleven children. Their these days:

Christopher Hiatt died December 12, 1792, a year before his father George. Lydia married again, a man named Joshua Hadley, and she died July 34, 1801.

Friends "at the Spring"
A History of Spring Monthly Meeting
by Algie I. Newlin
Zachariah Dicks was probably the most noted minister of the gospel in the
history of Spring Friends. He and his family were members of Spring meeting
for more than twenty-eight years yet his name does not appear in the minutes of
that monthly meeting. His sojourn within the limits of Spring Meeting is
divided into two parts: more than seventeen years while Spring was a
preparative meeting and more than ten years after Spring became a monthly
meeting. No records of the preparative meeting are extant and his membership
in Spring Monthly Meeting was during the long period in which the minutes of
the meeting were lost. The name of his wife, Ruth Hiatt Dicks, does appear in
the minutes of the Spring Monthly Meeting of Women Friends.
A short biographical sketch of Zachariah Dicks has its beginning when he
reached New Garden Monthly Meeting on August 30, 1755, on a certificate from
Warrenton Monthly Meeting in Pennsylvania. At that time he was referred to as
"a young man." When he reached New Garden Monthly Meeting it too was young,
being established just one year easlier. On December 8, 1756, he and Ruth
Hiatt, the daughter of George Hiatt, were married at New Garden.
After living at New Garden for Approximately twenty years, Zachariah and
Ruth Hiatt Dicks and their seven children moved to within the limits of Cane
Creek Monthly Meeting. Their Certificate of membership was recieved by Cane
Creek on June 3, 1775. This Dicks family settled within the limits of Spring
Particular Meeting, on a tract of land which lay on both sides of Cane Creek a
short distance west of Lindley's Mill. It seems probable that their land
bordered on the west side of the land owned by Hugh Laughlin. During
theTwenty-Eight years that Zachariah Dicks lived at this place he was active in
the ministry and made several religious journeys, including a long one to
England and Ireland.
On June 4, 1793, Cane Creek Monthly Meeting granted Zachariah and Ruth
Hiatt Dicks a certificate which enabled them to move within the limits of
Centre Monthly Meeting. Here they lived for five years. On May 7, 1798,
Spring Monthly Meeting of Women Friends recieved a certificate from Centre
Monthly Meeting for Ruth Dicks. We may safely assume that the record of the
certificate for Zachariah Dicks was in the lost minutes of Spring Montly
Meeting. It is also assumed that they returned to their old home west of
Lindley's Mill. On May 28, 1808, the minutes of Spring Monthly Meeting of
Women Friends report that Ruth Dicks, with her husband, was sgiven a
certificate to Ohio. On September 23, 1809, West Branchg Monthly Meeting in
Ohio recieved a certificate for Zachariah Dicks and Ruth Dicks from Spring
Montly Meeting in North Carolina.
Rusus M. Jones said to him:
Zachariah Dicks was a moving influence in some, perhaps in many, of the
southern meetings. He was a powerful rhapsoldical preacher, believed in his
day to have prophetic insight in an ususual degree.
In 1803 he traveled to the meeting in Georgia and South Carolina giving
Friends there dire warnings of impending disaster if they did not move to the
Middle West to escape the curse of slavery. Some of the itinerant ministers
who knew Zachariah Dicks wrote into their journals their appreciation of the
man. One of these was Elisha Kirk, who visited Spring Meeting in 1784, three
years after the Battle of Lindley's Mill. As he told part of his story, " We
went home with our beloved friend Zachariah Dicks, and on the way he showed us
the place where he and other friends buried thirty-four men in one grave,
during the late troubles.
Zachariah Dicks and Ruth Hiatt Dicks had six daughters and two sons.
Deborah, their oldest child, married Jonathan Lindley, son of Thomas and Ruth
Hadley Lindley. Jonathan Lindley was probably the outstanding political figure
in the history of Spring Meeting. He was born May 15, 1756, the last of the
children of Thoams and Ruth Lindley. He and Deborah were married in 1775, when
Jonathan was nineteen and Deborah seventeen. The Cane Creek Monthly Meeting
minutes report that they were married contary to the regulations of the Society
of Friends and for that offense were disowned. They both gave acceptable
apologies and were retored to membership in the Society. Jonathan Lindley
inherited the homestead which his parents had established near Spring Meeting

"Zachariah Dicks - He is in many respects a typical incarnation of the history of Southern Quakerism. Born in Pa., he came to NC. about 1754 and settked in the Cane Creek section when it was small. Here the greater part of his life was spent. He visited Europe between 1784 and 1787. He visited South Carolina between 1800 and 1804; finally removed to Indiana and died there. His visit to the South Carolina meetings was full of moment to them. 'He was thought to have also the gift of prophecy. The massacres of San Domingo were then fresh. He warned Friends to come out from slavery. He told them that if they did not their fate would be that of the slaughtered islanders. This produced a sort of panic and removals to Ohio commenced." (O'Neall, Annals of Newberry, 40). (R7).
