His paternal grandfather, who was of German descent, and belonged to the Society of Friends, spent the larger part of his life in North Carolina, settling there when a young man.
"Born and brought up in North Carolina, Caleb Hiatt, who was public-spirited and patriotic, served as a soldier in the War of 1812, enlisting before he attained his majority. Subsequently settling in Highland county, Ohio, he followed his trade of a cabinet maker, and for many years was engaged in the manufacture of furniture. Investing then his money in land, he carried on general farming in Highland County until his death, February 28, 1849, at the age of fifty-six years. He married Elizabeth Knight, who was born near Lynchburg, Va., and died in Ohio. Her father, Joshua Knight, was a pioneer builder of Virginia, being in partnership with his brother, who was a stone mason. Removing to Cincinnati, Ohio, he built the Broadway hotel, the first hotel erected in that city."

From a letter James M. Hiatt wrote in 1906 to Jesse M. Hiatt: "My father, John Hiatt, was born in 1800. This was all he knew, and is, therefore, all I know of his birth, owing to the destruction of the family records of my grandfather by fire after the death of the latter, my father having, in the meantime, become a traveling journeyman at his trade -- cabinet making. Hiatt-like, he was careless of such matters, especially in his younger days.
"At the age of 36 years my father, while working at his trade as a journeyman, in Centerville, Indiana, married Clarinda Stiggleman, she being then 24 years old. She was a sister of the widely known mill-wright John Stiggleman, who became wealthy, and lived and died on a farm near Centerville. Mother was a very superior woman intellectually - a self-made scholar and a born teacher. She taught me to read in the Bible by the time I was two years old. She taught Father English Grammar, Composition, Rhetoric, the Higher Arithmetic, and had him reading the New Testament in Greek, Syriac, and German before I was six years old. She afterwards taught him Latin. Of course she was a great help to me when I was going to school. In fact, she was my main teacher. Prof. Hoshour said that she was the greatest natural linguist that he ever knew. And the wonderful thing about this wonderful woman was that she was practically always her own teacher, having never had but two terms in school, and that a common -- a very common -- school.
"But she was a Methodist -- a very zealous one -- and Father was a Quaker, who, having been for many years a 'tramping journeyman,' and having seen much of the world, was no longer a exceedingly tenacious adherent to the doctrinal teachings of George Fax. The result was that the 'weaker vessel' controlled the stronger, and Father, without doing violence to any of his conscientious scruples, became a Methodist. But he stuck to his Quaker habits all his life. He never said 'You' to me, and, when he bought a hat, if it had on it a ribbon exceeding a quarter of an inch in breadth he would instantly tear off the offending ornament, and tie a string in its place. It always seemed strange to me that he would have been so indifferent about orthodox doctrines and yet so unswervingly persistent in orthodox habits. Mother always used the 'plain language' to him to avoid offending him; and a very amusing occurrence between them converted him from a hatred of flowers to a love of them. One bright afternoon, when father came from his shop to the house on a special errand, he found mother in the front yard watering her posies, and to her, very gently: 'Clarinda, don't thee think that thee is employed in a mighty foolish business?' 'Well, John,' she replied, in her inimitable sweetness of manner, 'I don't know but that I am. But don't thee think that God was employed in mighty foolish business when he made these floral beauties.' Father stood a moment, gazing steadily at her, and then stepped up, tapped her lightly on the shoulder, and said: 'Clarinda, thee's right in thy love of flowers, and I'm wrong, and have always been wrong.' From that forward there was no warmer admirer of flowers than Father.
"Father had three brothers of whom he and Mother used to talk -- Caleb, Enoch, and Josiah. The first named was a cabinet-maker, and was my father's partner in a shop that was among the first of its kind in Cincinnati. But this was previous to Father's marriage, and just about the close of Father's career as a traveling journeyman. After the termination of this partnership, Father went to Centerville, Indiana, took a Jour's job -- shortly afterwards took a wife -- the only one he ever had -- from that time onward generally owned his own shop. Whether he had any brothers other than those just named I do not know. I never saw any of his brothers." (R24, 44).

Errors and Corrections to Hiatt-Hiett Genealogy and Family History Page 954, Concerning Enos and Lydia Hiatt of Hinkles Creek MM, Hamilton Co., Ind.
This paragraph contains several errors:
1. Enos Hiatt b. 1801 did not marry Lydia Davis.
2. Eli Hiatt s/Enos & Lydia Hockett Hiatt married only Martha Williams and the date of their marriage is 8 May 1866 not a Quaker date. Eli's birthdate is also 8 May and not a Quaker date.
3. Believe child shown as Ebenezer is really Eleazor (verification of this is from Dorothy Ellen Hiatt, grand daughter of Eli and Martha Williams Hiatt) Information on the 3 different Enos Hiatt who lived in Hamilton Co., Ind. ca 1850 in an attempt to find parents of Eli Hiatt b. 1844 who married only Martha Williams.

I cannot yet find any information on the death of Enos Hiatt. I believe Enos b. 1801 must have died before 1870. I have checked the death records in Hamilton Co. They run 1872 - 1900 and there is nothing for any Enos Hiatt. I can find no will for Enos Hiatt; am working on deed transactions to see if I can find a death date for Enos.

“I remember the story that Isaac as an early homesteader at Baker City, Oregon, had trouble with cattle rancher who tried to run him out. Not being able to get redress from local authorities he took the law in his own hands. As a result he shot and killed one of them in the act of tearing down his fence. Evidently the rancher had more influence in the courts and Isaac did a term in the Penn for maslaughter. I’m not proud of that but it is part of the record and my sympathy is with him and his decendants. Any way after that it seems he did not communicate with the rest of the family which accounts for lack of information about his family.” - Earl M. Hiatt (R118).

History of Pilot Rock and Umatilla County by Will M. KidwellMr. and Mrs. Jesse Hamer and Family came to the Pilot Rock region and
settled at Vinson at least in 1865 and possible as early as 1864. We know that they were there for their daughter Irene's wedding in 1865. Mrs. S.N. Harvey of Pine Grove reported that from her records Irene was either 13 years of age and pershaps almost 14 when she was married. Mrs. Harvey further stated that Jesse Hamer was her mother's uncle. Her mother's father was John Harrison Hamer. John Hamer and family stopped in Elko, Nev., for a few years before they came to Oregon.
Miss Sarah P. Hamer, daughter of Jesse and Billie Hamer, married Charles P. Cate in 1870 at Butter Creek. Mr. Cate was to become a prominent stockman of Umatilla County. Mr. Cate and his new bride began with the cattle business, first on a small scale. But by strict economy and attention to business details they acquired 700 acres of land on Butter Creek. In 1892 they sold out and moved to Mountain Valley which was to become Gurdance, Oreg. There they purchased 1200 acres of good land. Here he engaged in raising both cattle and horses. Mr. and Mrs. Cate had a family consisting of Ella (Daughtery), Alpha, Asa, May, Irene, Charles, Sarah, Roy, Nona, Verne, and Clay. This family was held in high esteem. (Parsons p. 369-70)
