This John Hieght connection has been reported to have been the father of
our John, Quaker Imm. but thus far have seen no proof. The date of 1654 as
birth has been given on various sources and accepted by many to be a basis of
fact, but again no proof at all that I have seen.
I have also seen the name of Jeremiah as a possible father of our John, the Imm. but again no proof.This link of our John the Imm. to his parentage in England is of great
interest and will be the direction to concentrate our research. As our John
was reported to have been held in the Tower of London for marriage contrary to the Church of England, there may be information which can be located in that area. A closer look into records from England and Wales may provide a missing clue, also by information which may become available through the Quaker records in Ireland, especially looking for clues in Greenag where it has been suggested that is where they had resided.The information which claims that Elijah was another son of our John and a brother to John Jr., George and William is also critical to find the missing links. This Elijah line is reported to have gone into Kentucky with my line of John #37 in W.P.J. volume. That family also reported that Elijah had gone to visit with his uncle, a Thomas in Ireland and the two returned to this country about 1715 in the Hopewell area. This Thomas line also goes into Kentucky and some of the branches went into the various southern states.
This Thomas line will also hold critical information and is worth the
research to prove or disprove family stories and tradition.The big question will then be as to the parantage of this John, who some
believe to be Thomas, perhaps the same as the one found on the passenger list
of the Buena Ventura of 1634, also that the families had come from Wales.
Certainly an interesting challenge, but one that today, with the access to
information and the computer age, may prove to be successful. As information
comes forward and is shared, it is most likely that we will certainly find the links to all the various Hiatt-Hiett-Hiott-Hyatt etc., lineages. Perhaps there will be sufficient interest to pull researchers together for this work. There has always been circumstantial evidence to indicate the families were familiar with each other and even recognized relationship. Some of the other branches also were Quaker and often follewed a similiar naming pattern.It is with great interest that these suggestions be made, however, it
is perfectly stated that there is no proof of these connections at this time
and it is only for purpose of explanation and sharing of possible information
that this linkage is even put forth. Please do not state any connection beyond our John Hieght, Quaker Imm. as anything further than suggestion and speculation, there is absolutly no claim to that.May we encourage all our families to share and develope this research
freely with each other and someday we will see this lineage develope back to
the reported roots of the days of William the Conqueror. (See WPJ for further
information on the orgin of the Hiatt name, etc.)
