Memorable Moments & Stories

  • Other: William Hiatt William and his brother Christopher lived on adjoining farms. A small creek ran through the Hiatt tract, and someone dammed it and built a mill for grinding corn. Charity held an interest in the farm until it was bought by Amer Hiatt, and he after about 7 years sold it out of the family in 1823. This is the farm that William Hiatt had inherited from his father. As we know William Hiatt had inherited his fathers farm and had married Charity Williams of Welsh descent. It was during his lifetime that the Battle of General Green and Cornwallis took place on the farm and adjoining territory. The wounded soldiers of both armies were taken into the New Garden Meeting House; and Mrs Hiatt baked bread for them. On 17 May 1769 when William was 26, he married Charity WILLIAMS, F, daughter of Richard WILLIAMS, M + Prudence BEALS, F, in New Garden Monthly Meeting Rowen Co NC. Born on 6 May 1750 in Prince George Co MD. Charity died in at dau. Rebecca's Spiceland, Henry Co IN on 17 Mar 1840; she was 89. Buried in Spiceland Friends Cemetery, IN. Charity moved to Indiana in 1824 with some of her children.

  • Other: William Hiatt Susan Orlie reports a different spelling and info = Isom HIATT settled in the Logan co,OH area around 1812. He was originally from Guilford Co, NC. He moved to Iowa in 1841. My ancestor was Ruth HIATT. It seems likely she was the daughter of Isom HIATT and Mary Irwin. But I could use more on this. If anyone has anything on her please send it my way. I'm also interested on what became of those of this family who went to Henry co,IA in 1841: Isom, Mary, William and wife Rebecca, Elizabeth and Eunice. !BIRTH-SPOUSE-CHILDREN-DEATH: Ancestral File; ; The Church of Jesus C hrist of Latter-day Saints, CD-ROM dated 21 Aug 1992, Information sub mitted by..; St George Regional FHC/FamilySearch Home Field Trial, s earched Jan-Mar 1995.1

Memorable Moments & Stories

  • Other: Charity Williams Ancestral File; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, CD-ROM dated 21 Aug 1992, Information submitted by; St George Regional FHC/Family Search Home Field Trial, searched Jan-Mar 1995; [shared by Mary Bond rbond@erols.com]. The writings of Mary Coffin Johnson (written about 1899) concerning her great grandmother, Charity Williams.

    "Charity Williams Hiatt, the daughter of Richard Williams and Prudence Beales, was born at Monocacy, Prince Georges County, Maryland, the 5th mo. 6th, 1750. She was but a young child when her parents removed to Guilford Co., NC. She married at 19 years of age to William Hiatt, son of George Hiatt and Martha Wakefield Hiatt the 5th mo, 17th day, 1769. They had a family of ten children, of whom Benajah Hiatt, my grandfather, was the eldest. All of their children were born, and brought up and married in North Carolina. In her girlhood, she was accustomed to attend her father's still. Those were days in which intoxicants were used in every household. Small still houses were erected on the springs, brooks and creeks, in which barley, Indian corn and a superior peach brandy was distilled for private family and neighborhood use. These liquors were of the purest and of excellent quality. Charity Williams possessed an unusually jovial and humorous nature, a characteristic she retained to the end of her long life. This, it is said, she inherited from the Williams side of her ancestry. Always mirthful and of a kindly disposition, the neighbor's children were delighted and danced up and down when they saw her coming. These children remembered her for more than fifty years after she had quitted the earth, with happiest recollections. All who knew her counted her as a most agreeable companion and friend. One of her great granddaughters tells us that a babe was born in their home one night and great-grandmother walked over the following day to visit the little newcomer. Taking him in her arms, she asked if he had been given a name. The reply was that he had not. "Well," she said, "He shall be called William Hiatt Coffin, in memory of my dear husband." In her later years she always walked with a cane. In dress, she wore waists separate from the skirt, much like the present day style "Jackets". She often wore them in white with a wide white apron. On the 20th of August 1824, she joined a colony of Friends of which her son, Benajah Hiatt and his family were of the number, and emigrated to Indiana, a new state. They traveled with one carriage and one covered wagon, which contained household goods and necessary traveling equipment. They camped in tents at night. Her grandson, John and his wife Rebecca, newly wed, slept in the wagon. The journey occupied six weeks. On reaching Indiana, they settled at Milton and great grandmother resided with her son Benajah Hiatt a year or more. Afterwards, her home was with her youngest daughter, Rebecca Unthank at Spiceland, twenty miles distant, until the close of her life. Both Charity and her husband were active, substantial Quakers. It was placed upon the records of the church in the peculiar expression of their times, that "they were orderly and exemplary Friends." Charity died aged 89 years and 9 months and is laid to rest in the old section of the burial ground near the Friend's Church in Spiceland, Indiana.".1
