Notes

John Henry Vagedes TERVORT

John Henry emigrated with his father and two brothers from Germany abt 1848.....(Shoe Maker)  Came to Utah in  Johnston's Army,  when Johnston left Utah  to fight for the South, John Henry deserted and married Sarah Rosina.
 The story as told by Nephi Savage:  John Henry's term of enlistment had expired, but the officers would make no move to release him,  so he decided to leave at all hazardsl.  A merchant from Payson, who did a great deal of trading at the Army port, Geo W. Hancock, happened to meet up with young Vagedes, and after talking with him decided that Payson was in need of just such a man (shoemaker).  A little later, on one of his trips to the Fort he took a large packing box.  Under cover of darkness, Vagedes secreted himself in the box and was brought to Payson, by Mr. Hancock, as a rather live piece of freight.  Here he dropped his real name, and adopted his mother's maiden name "Tervort".  No one in Payson, not even his wife knew his real name for several years.

Sarah Rosina SAVAGE

   Was sealed to 2nd husband.

Martha Ellen TAYLOR

    Sent by Ethel Claunch. Pedigree charts sent by Laura HIATT MORSE of 371 So. 400 E, American Fork, UT 84003, 5 Aug 2000.

Larry, I have quite a lot on her.. Her father and my ggggrandfather were brothers.....not sure how to send it...did copy this from personal note on her:  She was married first to Jesse Peele...

Jesse and his brother-in-law, Lee Taylor didn't want to join the CSA, so they ran away to join the Northern Army. They sometimes had to swim rivers to reach the North and this probably contributed to Jesse falling ill and later dying in a Union hospital without ever joining the Army.. His wife, Martha Ellen didn't know of his death until after the War when her brother Lee returned and told her. She never planned to remarry but after the death of her son, she married James Madison Hiatt soon after joining the Mormon Church and they soon moved to Utah.

Jedediah M. Grant was called as a traveling Elder for the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS.   He passed through Surry county, NC abt 1845 and held a cottage cmeeting in the vicinity of the farm of Thomas (Road) and Mary Ann Danley Taylor.  They were very much interested and pondered much over what they had heard... Many year later  ...Elders David M. Steward of Ogden, and Warren N. Dusenerry of Provo replaced Elders Henry G. Boyle of Payson and Howard Coray of Provo.  They baptized Thomas, and three of his children; Martha Ellen, David Rufus and Zachariah Shadrick, in Stoney Creek on March 12 1869...ice having to be cleared from the creek to do so... Mary Ann was baptized on March 15th.

Jedediah M. Grant had sowed the seeds of the Gospel to the Taylor family when he was in the vicinity in 1845.

 In June, James Madison Hiatt was baptized in the Stoney Creek and on 8 July 1969 he married Maartha Ellen Taylor , daughter of Thomas and Mary Ann.  Msartha Ellen was a young Civil War widow who's husband, Jesse L. Peel, had did in a Union hospital.   In his juounal, Elder Henry Green Boyle wrote that he helped organize a party of 104 people move from NC to UT.

 Almost half of the Boyle Group were members of the Taylor families of Mt. Airy, Surry, NC...According to David A. Stone, in the book, "Stones of Surry", p.95, others of the group were family names of Griggs, Hills, Andersons, Casandrias, Haymores, Bakers, Spainhowrs, Callahans, Baldwins, Carson, Kinders, Japlins,, Howes and others.

 James M. Hiatts wrote that their particular family left about one o'clock for Mt. Airy, which was 5 miles away.  At the campgrounds that evening a memorable serenede was given them and their company, numbering more than a hundred. by the "darkies".  The old time melodies and plantation songs were sung to the accompaniment of guitars and mandolins, as only the colored folk can sing them.

 The company journeyed by team for 3 days to Witheville, VA, to the nearest railway station.  They continued by train to Norfolk, VA and from there took a steamboat to New York City, because the fare was cheaper.  It was a 30 hour trip up the Atlantic Ocean.  Upon landing with a great number of other emigrants, they went to a large hall.  On the way there they were showered with dishwater and rotten eggs, the news having spread that they were "Mormons".

  From NY the journey continued ovesr the bay to New Jersey where they boarded an emigrant train for Taylor's Switch, near Harrisville, UT the terminus then for the dUnion Pacific RR.

 It was a very slow and tedious journey, with not a change of cars.  So slowly did they travel crossing the plains that when herds of buffalo appeared, many of the emigrants jumped off the moving train, chased and shot at the animals, then came back and boarded the still moving train.

  Sarah Jane (Fallen) Taylor told of the rough trip on this train.  They traveled in box cars.  Their beds were made on the floor at night, then rolled up each morning so they could sit on them.  Each family was confined to thei small area in which all of their posessions were kept.  Men wore heavy boots and they tromped over the bedding at night.  One dark night some man stepped on Sarah Jane's neck with his heavy boot and injured her badly.  From the results of the injury a huge outer goiter grew upon her neck.  Sarah Jane never joined the LDS Church, nor would she let any of her children join until they were old enough to move away from her home.  Her husband, Joseph Clarence joined the Church 2 Sep 1868 and was End. 11 Oct 1870.  This worried his wife, Sarah Jane..

  On the trip, many had contracted measles and were very sick,  (four died).    It was a terrible sight, so many sick and no conveniences.  Kind hands were willing to do what they could, but the suffering was still great.  There were no doctors nor medicine.  They had to depend on the Lord.
  It has been said that this group was one of the first companies of Saints to cross the plains by train.  Upon their arrival at Taylor's switch, near Harrisville, they camped for 3 days.  A Bishop form Payson, UT sent 29 teams and wagons in which the emigrants made the journey to Payson.  They camped the first night at Bountiful.  Mary Ann, Sarah Ann and Jedediah slept on the porch of the Bountiful Tabernacle.
   The company arrived at Payson on 31 Jul 1869.  They stayed at Union Hall until homes were found.  The Thomas (Road) Taylor family moved out before night to the Orwell Simmons home.  This was thier abode until the purchase of the Daniel Stark place, located across the orad.  After a few years this place was sold back to Mr. Stark and family moved to a 5 acre lot in what was called "The Poorman's Field"..

Biography written by his daughter Sarah Ann Howard:
 Thomas married Mary Ann Danley who was 18years of age.  Their first home was built west of the road, a small log house.  Father took his axe and hewed down the trees and made the logs to build the house.  He would get up at 4 AM to cut the logs....There were two large rooms.
 He had 3 books: a reader, speller and arithmetic book which he studied har.  Those pioneer days there was not much chance for schools or schooling, so he had to learn himself.  He was determined to learn and make himself intellingent and have business ability so he could go on and be a business man and meet the world and be able to bring his children up, and give them the chances of educational training, even if he himself was a self-made man, so to speak.
 Their next home was right on the road and they had to still carry the water from the spring by their first home.  Mother carried 3 buckets at a time, one on her head and one in each hand.  In these two homes 9 children were born.
 Later he had a well dug by Mr. Cox 75 feet deep with a windlass to draw water with 2 buckets.  While digging the well Mr. Cox used to tell us ghost stories and make us laugh.
 Many years later a nice home was built of lumbesr, 2 rooms vesry near the 2 room log house on the north side, which made us a very nice pleasant home.  A mulberry tree grew between an a large spreading oak close to the road near the house where father used to love to sit and read his Bible.  A few years later a big electrical storm came and tore the beautiful oak up, completely destroyed the mulberry tree.  My sister was sitting by the north window of the log house and felt the heat of the lightning which burned her arm..
 Grandfather had land and slaves to work it.  Aftesr his death the land was divided and father got his portion.  He was very good to the slaves and they loved him.  Father was very successful and acquired much land and some of the slaves lived in the small homes.  He had cattle and sheep, raised much cotton, tobacco, indigo, blue to dye cloth, flax, fruit and some corn and some wheat and vegetables.  When the Civil War broke out, father was on the side of the north,  the freeing of the slaves and one of his sons fought for it.  Lee enlisted in the Northern army and was captured twice by the Southern army and imprisoned an nearly starved to death.
 Jedediah M. Grant was a Mormon missionary many years in that locality.  Before we joined the Church father believed his teachings and very suddenly Bro. Grant was called away and no Mormon elders were again in our locality for several years.  My father read the Bible and belonged to the Methodist Church, but he said they did not teach the doctrine of the Saviour so he did not belong any longesr.  Bros. Henry G. Boyle and Howard Coray came as missionaries, they were fine missionaries and had many converts and Father, Mother, Ellen, Rufus and Zachariah were ready for baptism and soon joined the Church, also Jedediah.  In 1868, they were baptized by Howard Coray in Stony Creek.  He was a singer, and H. G. Boyle was the preacher.  Stony Creek was close by.
 Ellen was married on the 8th of July 1869 and they started for Utah on the 9th, left home about 2 PM came as far as Mr. Airy, a distance of 5 miles, camped all night.  Frank lived at home and was single, mother went in the store and looked around and could not say goodbye, so went home whichout saying goodbye.  Loaded up the wagons and went to Withville, VA 3 days travel.  Many people came to say goodbye, about 100 in camp, 127 at VA when the darkies came to say goodbye and played their banjos and danced and had a good time.  They went from Withville on boat to New York because the fare was cheaper that way.  When we got to New york we all got off the boat and people knew we were Mormons and showered us with dish water, egg shells, and rotten eggs.  We stayed in New York in hotels.
 Leaving New York, we crossed over the bay on boat to New Jersey and boarded an emmigrant train (perhaps the first that went over the plains). it moved so slow that one day some of the men jumped off with their guns and fired at some buffalo running by, and boarded the moving train again.  One day the train stopped and my father bought the largest head of cabbage we ever saw, for which he paid 30 cents and all on the train would come and eat some raw, it was very sweet and they all liked it.
 Ogden was the terminous of the RR aat that time, so we camped 3 days.  Our company was mostly Taylors and at our camp some of the Taylors from Harrisville came claiming we were relatives and one of my father's brother-in-laws, Thomas Taylor with his family and another woman Eliza Taylor went to Harrisville and made their homes.  Mary Taylor later married "Parrot" and Eliza married "Larkin".  With this company was Elders Henry G Boyle from Payson and Howard Coray from Provo.  The most of our company was desirous of going to Payson, so the Bishop of Payson sent to Ogden where we were camped 29 teams and wagons to convey our goods to Payson.  It took 3 days to reach Payson, there they all were at about 10 o'clock Saturday, July 31st, they were stationed in a large hall called "Douglas Hall" but before night nearly all had been provided with homes in the town and moved out.  However, there was a disease of measles or something similar broke out and 2 of the children of Wm. Taylor (John and David) died and were buried in the Payson cemetery.
 Thomas Taylor and family lived a short time in Orowell Sinous house, then bought the Daniel Stark home as he had been called to go to Dixie and settle up there; later he was released, returned and wanted his place back, which with much sacrifice my father gave up.  The settlement was by arbitration but not exactly satisfactory.  Thomas Taylor and family moved then onto a 5 acre piece which he purchased in the "Poor Man's field".  He worked hard and got a little more property in Payson City, and as he became less able to work, moved to a small home in the western part of town and that was their home until he died Sep 1, 1894.
 His religion was always uppermost in his mind.  In 1884 August 6 all of his children that were in the Church were sealed in the Logan temple to he and his wife.  He lived strictly the Word of Wisdom, giving up tobacco which he had used from a boy, coffee, and in fact he tried to live a true Latter Day Saint life.

  The reader will recall that we initially started the Hiatt history with James Madison Hiatt with a story written by his son James Franklin Hiatt entitled From the Carolinas to Utah depicting the move of my branch of the Hiatt family from North Carolina where the Hiatts had been living for one century (four generations).  The history continued forward in time in Chapter Three and gave the life stories of James Madison Hiatt and his brothers, his son James Franklin and his daughter Martha Gertrude Hiatt Oliphant, my mother.  Chapter Four contains the history of William Hiatt, the father of James Madison Hiatt.  William Hiatt is the eldest son of Jesse Hiatt (the subject of this chapter).  Chapter Five then goes back in time to John Hiatt who came to America from England in 1699.  He and his wife Mary settled in Pennsylvania.  His son John Hiatt Jr. and wife Rachel, (whom we discussed in Chapter Six ) moved to Virginia where his son William was born and raised.  (We discussed William's history in Chapter Seven.)  He and his wife Susannah Hodson were married and lived in North Carolina where William Jr. was born and raised.  Chapter Eight tells about William Hiatt Jr. who met and married Elizabeth Thompson.  Their son Jesse was born in Mt. Airy, North Carolina in the year 1796.  This brings us up to date.
JESSE HIATT BORN AND RAISED IN SURRY COUNTY
  As indicated Jesse Hiatt was born in the year 1796 in or near the present town of Mt. Airy, Surry County, North Carolina.  He was the second son of William and Elizabeth Hiatt.  His brother, Charles was two years older, and he had two brothers and one sister younger.  They were William, Rebecca, Hiram and (unknown).
  Jesse Hiatt grew up in the area of Mt. Airy, North Carolina with many aunts and uncles and cousins close by to visit.  In the year 1804 however, his uncles and aunts as well as his grandfather moved across the North Carolina border into Grayson County, Virginia.
  It is likely that eight year old Jesse went to stay with his grandfather some of the time to keep him company, since the old man was a widower and was all alone after the death of his wife Susanna in 1782.  His grandpa, William,  may have told him many stories about his own childhood days in Orange County, Virginia, and how and why they left Virginia during the French and Indian War.  Very likely he explained to the boy how his own father, John, died.  He had left the fort and taken his family with him because he heard there was to be an Indian attack on the fort.  He caught the quinsy due to exertion and exposure to the cold weather, and died later that winter as a result.
  His grandfather also may have told him about the eventful trip down the Great Wagon Road through the Shenandoah Valley, since the Quaker people felt it necessary to leave their home in Pennsylvania during the French and Indian War and later they left Virginia because of the growing practice of slavery.
  Grandpa William also lived through the eventful years of the Revolutionary War so it is likely he told Jesse about the hard times they experienced.  Since the Quakers were consciences objecters, William did not join Washington's army.
  His grandfather was likely happy to have his help around the farm when he came to visit.
  "The Society of Friends", or Quakers, was the most important religious group in North Carolina before 1700.  Although this group expanded southward from the Albemarle Sound area during the early eighteenth century, the most important Quaker settlement in North Carolina became New Garden (1754, Guilford County).  The Revolution ended Quaker growth in both numbers and influence, for their opposition to war cost them dearly in the loyalty of their own youth and in public hostility.  Later, opposition to slavery spurred heavy Quaker migration to Indiana and other mid-western states. 9 p.499
HIATT FAMILY AND THIER MOVES
  On March 23, 1805, Jesse and his mother and father, brothers and sisters moved from the (Mt. Airy area) Westfield Monthly Meeting and were received (on certificate) into the Deep River Monthly Meeting in Guilford County, North Carolina which is some fifty miles southeast of Mt. Airy.  They remained in Guilford County between 1805 and 1813.
  His father's family was contemplating a move to Ohio along with the rest of the Quakers who were emigrating there en masse.  His father and brother Charles went to check out the country in Ohio but did not remain.  Instead they moved back to Westfield monthly Meeting where they had lived previously.  His father bought property in the Stoney Creek area where he stayed until 1829.
JESSE HIATT MARRIES JULIA TAYLOR
  Jesse obtained a marriage bond in Surry County, North Carolina to be married to Julia Taylor on the 20 March 1818. when he was twenty-two years old.  Julia was seventeen.  Julia Taylor was born in Virginia on the 10 January 1801.  She did not belong to the Quaker religion.  She lived in Surry County when they were married and  probably knew William as they were growing up.  She evidently had much influence on Jesse and his thinking since he did not marry and stay in the Quaker religion.
  Marriage bonds were posted by the groom alone or with a second person, usually the father or the brother of the bride, to defray the costs of litigation in the event the marriage was nullified.  These bonds, the only marriage records maintained in some jurisdictions, were usually annotated with the marriage date after the ceremony.  It was rare for a marriage not to take place within a few days of the posting  of the bond even though many bonds do not bear the annotation.  A marriage bond is also a financial guarantee that no impediment to the marriage existed.  Marriage bonds were a civil record kept by the county or state government.
  When a Quaker member married a non-member he was excommunicated from the Quaker religion.  This is what happened to Jesse Hiatt which is shown in the following document found in the Quaker records:
  Jesse Hiett condemned his marriage out of unity.
Westfield Monthly Meeting 12th day 6th month 1818

  For a discussion of the meaning of "condemned for marriage out of unity" read page 149 in the foregoing chapter about William and Elizabeth.
  William, Jesse's father, deeded 81 acres of land near Stoney Creek to him [Jesse] and his brother, James in November 1817 for $2.
  After their marriage in 1818, Jesse and his bride, Julia Taylor, settled on their Stoney Creek property near his father and mother, William and Elizabeth Hiatt.  They could have lived with them, which was a common practice at that time, until they were able to get their own house built.
  Jesse's brother Charles was married later that same year to Mary Keys.  They may have lived with their parents for a short time also.  It shows in the Quaker records that Charles moved to the Deep Creek Monthly Meeting in the town of Guilford, April of 1819 and then in 1822 moved to Wayne County, Indiana.
  Here on this Stoney Creek property Jesse and Julia Taylor Hiatt raised eight children.  Their names in order of birth are:  Mathilda, William (my direct line), Jacob, Edmond, Nathan, Hiram, Rebecca, Jonathan.
  Jesse Hiatt and his wife and family worked hard to clear the land and make it productive to feed and clothe their family.  This virgin land of trees and underbrush had to be cleared so they could raise their crops and graze their horses, cattle, sheep and pigs.
JESSE, ONLY HIATT TO STAY IN NORTH CAROLINA
  The Quaker Hiatts were almost all gone from North Carolina by the 1820.'s  Jesse's father, William, was the last one of the Hiatts who finally did leave.  He sold his 100 acres at Stoney Creek to Benjamin Taylor in 1829 and took his family to Indiana where all the other Quaker Hiatts had moved.  Jesse and his family were the only ones of this huge Hiatt clan to stay in North Carolina.
  Benjamin Taylor, who bought this property was later to become a relative to Jesse Hiatt, through marriage.  Jesse's son William married Benjamin Taylor's granddaughter Mary Taylor.  (See history of William and Mary Taylor in Chapter Nine)
  The 1830 census of Surry County, North Carolina shows a Jesse Hyet.  Notice how the name Hiatt is spelled.  Census takers often did not spell names correctly.  There were no other Hiatts on this 1830 North Carolina census.
1830 Surry County, North Carolina Census: Jesse Hyet-1 male aged 30 to 40, 2 males aged 5 to 10, 2 males aged under 5, 1 female aged 20 to 30, 1 female aged 10 to 15.
DEATH OF JESSE HIATT AND HIS WIFE JULIA
  The 1840 census of Surry County, North Carolina indicates that Julia "Heit", his wife was the head of the family.  This indicates that Jesse, her husband, had died since the last census.  There were five young males and a young female, in addition to the head of the family.  Julia's youngest child was only about two years old.  This was the only Hiatt family on the 1840 census for Surry County.
  Jesse died in 1835 at his Stoney Creek property in North Carolina when he was only 39 years of age and left a very young family for his wife Julia to raise.  The youngest child was one year old and the eldest was 15 years of age.
  WILL OF JESSE HIATT :  In the name of God Amen.  I, Jesse Hiatt of the County of Surry and State of North Carolina, being weak in body but in perfect mind and memory maketh my last will and Testament to-wit:  1st My will is that my body shall be decently buried. 2nd that My debts and funeral expenses be paid in due time.  3rd. That my beloved wife Julia Hiatt remain in full possession of both my personal and real estate during her life or widowhood.  4th. That when death or marriage shall take place that my estate shall be equally divided amongst my children, Matilda, William, Jacob, Edmund, Nathan, Rebecca, and Johnathan.  Lastly, I appoint my trusty friends Shubel Burcham and Edmond Taylor for my executors.  Done in the presence of Evan Davis, John Simmons
  Signed:  Jesse (his X mark) Hiatt (Seal)  This 3rd day of the 8th month 1835. Recorded in Will Book of Surry County, number 4, page 90, as reported by Mrs. Nettie T. Christensen, Rexburg, Idaho, after a trip to North Carolina, about 1936.
  Julia Taylor Hiatt died 5 March 1892.  She lived a long eventful life after her husband's death.  She had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who lived around her on the Stoney Creek property in Surry County, North Carolina.  She had been a widow nearly 60 years.  A picture on page 32 shows the headstone for William and Mary in Hiatt Cemetery located on property owned by William and Mary near Stoney Creek.  Julia and Jesse were probably buried in this cemetery also.
  The 1850 census for Surry County - Hollow Springs District, Northern Division names Julia Hiatt at the age of 47 and indicates she was born in Virginia.  It names Nathan as 21 years of age, Jonathan 16 years of age, Rebecca 18 years of age.  The birth place of each child was North Carolina.  The rest of the children were not living at home which verifies they were married by that time.  William Hiatt, (my direct line) was married in 1845 and was living on the Stoney Creek property near his mother Julia at the time of her death.

DESCENDANTS OF JESSE HIATT AND JULIA TAYLOR
  My mother Martha Gertrude Hiatt Oliphant born 30 August 1891 in Payson, Utah, was a granddaughter of James Madison Hiatt who was a grandson of Jesse and Julia Hiatt.  She was born the year before Julia Hiatt died.  Her life story is entitled  "My Story Lest I Forget" and is found on page 76 in this volume.
  The story below which I found in the Hiatt book on page 354 gives a little more background on the Jesse Hiatt Clan.   I quote the story as follows:
  In 1946 Mattie Hiatt (of Springville, Utah) wrote:  There is a large tribe of the descendants of Jesse Hiatt and Julia Taylor down here in Payson, and many of their close relatives live at Mt. Airy, Surry County, North Carolina.
  For many years we tried to connect our genealogy, finally after the book of Hinshaw's came to the Library, I requested that some of the family come over and see if I couldn't find their ancestry, as I had copied into family groups all the Hiatts as well as my Stouts and Hobsons, etc that were in the record.
  The eldest [living] man of the tribe, Frank Edmund Hiatt (brother of James Madison Hiatt) came over Sunday July 31st 1938 and this is what he told me, saying that he wished to tell me what he knew before I said anything:  "A William Hiatt deeded land to Charles and Jesse Hiatt, this Jesse Hiatt was my grandfather, and the William Hiatt may have been the father, and Charles may have been a brother of Jesse.  However, Charles later sold his land, deeded to him by this William, to my grandfather Jesse and went west.  I was born on this land because it later came to my father, (Willliam) and I have handled and seen this deed."
  Well, I knew that the only Charles Hiatt I had seen in all the North Carolina records which Hinshaw had compiled was the son of William Hiatt.  This Charles had married Mary Keyes and they had two children on record, a daughter Elizabeth and a son Benjamin Keyes Hiatt.  So as a pot-shot I asked Frank Hiatt if he had ever known a Benjamin Keyes Hiatt.  He looked positively startled and replied yes, why?  I then asked if he knew what the relationship of this Benjamin Keyes Hiatt was to himself, and he answered, that this man had told him that he, Benjamin Keyes was a cousin to thy father, saying also, thy grandfather and my father were brothers.
  In going on telling of this said Benjamin Keyes Hiatt he, Frank, said that this man worked at the farm of his father-in-law while he, Frank, was courting one of the farmer's daughters who later became his wife.  And that this Benjamin Keyes Hiatt, although years older, had also wanted the same girl.  So we have proof of this tribe, and it is a vast one.  This incident took place in Surry County, North Carolina, on the farm of Zachery Hutchens.  Mattie Hiatt's great-grandfather, Reuben Hiatt, was a first cousin to Jesse Hiatt, grandfather of Frank Edmund Hiatt.  15 p.354
  The article above refers to Jesse Hiatt and William, his father who deeded him property.  Edmund Franklin Hiatt is a brother of my great-grandfather James Madison Hiatt who emigrated to Payson, Utah in 1869 when he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  He, Edmund Franklin, followed James Madison Hiatt, his older brother to Utah in the year 1886.  Their life stories are told in the first part of this book, Chapter Three.  The story or saga of this large company of people joining the Church and emigrating to Utah is found in Chapter One entitled  "From the Carolinas to Utah".
  The Mormon Church had a great influence on my Hiatt ancestors and became their whole life as did the Quaker religion before.  Their history is interwoven like a beautiful fabric with the church and bears going into in some detail.
  The Mormon Church was restored to the earth in 1830 during Jesse's life time.   The message of the Restored Gospel was joyfully accepted by the greater part of Jesse's descendants. Therefore I am going to give a short sketch about the Mormon Church and the founder Joseph Smith in the following chapter.
  A short sketch of George Fox, the founder of the Religious Society of Friends and their beliefs was presented in Chapter Five on page 118.
The Civil War took place after the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  (Mormon Church) was organized.  The Civil War had a great impact on the lives of the Hiatts who lived during that time in North Carolina.  Thus I am going to give a short synopsis of the Civil War in North Carolina in the last chapter.

                                                   BIOGRAPHICAL SKECTH OF ISAAC SAMUEL HIATT
Written by his wife, Frances Bryant Hiatt

"Isaac Samuel Hiatt was born July 9, 1853. He was the third son of a family of five boys of Willima and Mary Taylor Hiatt.
"The part of the country in which they lived received its name from a remarkable peak called Mt. Airy. The country side was beautifully wooded abounding n fresh springs and numerous beds of wild flowers.

     “When Isaac was eight years old, the civil war broke out an for the next four years he spent most of this time carrying  provision to men who his in the woods, called bush whackers. They were men who did nt fight because they did not believe in the Southern cause, and would not join the Northern Army because they would not lift a sword against their own loved one. The Grandmother and Auntsupplied the provision and the young biys did their duty faithfully in caring for those who needed it.

“The father of this was an invalid and his duty was done by giving advice to the boys and mother who so loyally cared him and made a livelihood that they might the after affects of that long and terrible struggle between the North and the South.

“Isaac was not a robust and the weeding of the crops and lighter work fell to his lot. The boys were diligent in the work they had to perform but they had social gathering when occasionally a banjo and fiddle provided  music for their dances. Not far their home these boys built a lowery where the Latter Day Saints Missionaries held their meetings. In Sept. 1877 he meet Martha Frances Bryant and in Feb. 17, 1878, they were married. They moved tp a fifty acre farm near Mt. Airy where they lived ten years. At this home five children were born. In the spring of 1881 Isaac and family were visited by two Mormon Missionaries. He tried to disprove their message by the Bible but after investigation they found I Heaven Sent Doctrine. He sought for and increase of Testimony through prayer and shining light enveloped him and a voice said ‘L will reward you according to your works.’ Isaac, wife, and one child was baptized in the Arat River June 12,1881. He then sold farm form for live dollars per acre and with 180 converts and thirteen Mormon Missionaries came to Utah.
“Isaac and family first settled in Payson but later moved to Salem where they made their permanent home and prospered accordingly.

“The first few years after their emmigration was indeed a hard struggle for them as they had a great deal of sickness. After moving to Salem there were born to them more children making a total of fourteen, four of these have since passed away. Isaac Interested in Bee culture and was skillfull in the handling of them. He was expert truck Gardner.
“He was always friendly and kind but had a retiring disposition and preferred the quietude of his home to amusements also where. He was an ardent church worker and an honest faithful tith prayer. He lived and loved and his greatest desire was that his family would work diligently and faithfully and be recorded for their works.
“In May 1891 Isaac, wife, and six his family entered the Manti Temple and did work for themselves and their nearest relatives, among the his parents. From that day until his death he was an enthusiastic Temple Worker and with his wife they spent their spare time and means to further the work nearest and dearest to them, On Dec. 15, 1926, at the age 73 years he suffered a heart attack which ended his diligent and useful career.” (R152).

                                                  A SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF FRANCES HIATT

Daughter of Madison Daniel Bryant and Pauline Jane Taylor, of Pilot Mountain North Carolina.

“She was born on chestnut Ridge a portion of the Allegheny ranges of mountains running along the line between North Carolina and Virginia, on Dec, 22, 1860. She was the eldest of a family of seven children, three sons and four daughters. Being the eldest child in the family, at an early age she was given the responsibilities is helping her mother with the cares of the house. In those days they made their own clothing, taking the wool from sheep’s back, washing and dyeing the wool with bark from forest trees. Then spinning and weaving it into cloth and yarn to be made into suits and woolen stockings. They also raised flax and made in into linen table cloths and towels.

“Among her first memories were the exciting times of the civil War. Strongly impressed on her young mind was the poverty and sufferings the people were caused to bear. She was married at the age of seventeen years to Isaac Samuel Hiatt, 17 Feb 1878. To this union seven sons and seven daughters were born. Eleven of the fourteen were raised to man and womanhood. At twenty years of age she was baptized into the church of Jesus of Later Day Saints. Coming for the Gospels sake and their devotion to the Church, they arrived in Utah in 1888, with four of their children having been born in North Carolina. They settled at Salem, Utah, and made their through the remainder of their lives. With her husband she returned to North Carolina on a visit in the year 1913. Her life was one of industry, thrift, faith and loyalty in the service of the church. Genealogy and Temple work were her choicest affords, along with Relief Society work. Many beautiful rugs and quilts were made by her hands in the sunset years of her life. Living at the time of her with her son Walter in Vale, Oregon, she passed away 13 Jan, 1946. Leaving a posterity of 49 living grand children and 30 living great grand children.” (By Nora Hiatt). (R152).

    I have recorded two sets of Temple ordinances having been done for Isaac Samuel Hiatt.  The second ones being: B. 17 Oct 1967  E. 28 May 1890  s. 8 Mar 1916 MT.

Isaac raised a (truck?) garden and had bees; his wife wove rag rugs for many years.  Rosa and Lamisha were great spellers, the best in the Salem School.  The family home was located at about 310 E. 100 S. Salem...

BIOGRAPHICAL  SKETCH  OF ISAAC  SAMUEL  HIATT

Written by his wife, Frances Bryant Hiatt
  Isaac Samuel Hiatt was born 9 July 1853.  He was the third son of a family of five boys of William and Mary Taylor Hiatt. The part of the country in which they lived received its name from a remarkable peak called Mt. Airy.  The country side was beautifully wooded abounding in fresh springs and numerous beds of wild flowers.
  When Isaac was eight years old, the civil war broke out and for the next four years he spent most of his time carrying provisions to men who were in his woods, called bush whackers.  They were men who did not fight because they did not believe in the Southern cause, and would not join the Northern Army because they would not lift a sword against their own loved ones.  The Grandmother and Aunt supplied the provisions and the young boys did their duty faithfully in caring for those who needed it. The father of this family was an invalid and his duty was done by giving advice to the boys and mother who so loyally cared for him and made a livelihood that they might survive the after affect of that long and terrible struggle between the North and the South.
  Isaac was not a robust youth and the weeding of the crops and lighter work fell to his lot.  The boys were diligent in the work they had to perform;  but they had social gatherings when occasionally a banjo and fiddle provided music for their dances.  Not far from their home these boys built a bowery where the Latter Day Saints Missionaries held their meetings.
  In September 1877 he met Martha Frances Bryant and in February 17, 1878, they were married.  They then moved to a fifty acre farm near Mt. Airy where they lived for ten years.  At this home five children were born.
  In the spring of 1881 Isaac and his family were visited by two Mormon Missionaries.  He tried to disprove their message by the Bible but after investigation they found it "Heaven Sent Doctrine".  He sought for an increase of Testimony through Prayer and a bright and shining light enveloped him and a voice said "I will reward you according to your works".  Isaac, wife, and one child was baptized in the Arrat River June 12, 1881.  He then sold his farm for five dollars per acre and with 180 converts and thirteen Mormon Missionaries came to Utah.
  Isaac and his family first settled in Payson but later moved to Salem where they made their permanent home and prospered accordingly. The first few years after their emigration was indeed a hard struggle for them as they had a great deal of sickness.  After moving to Salem there were born to them nine more children making a total of fourteen; four of these have since passed away.  Isaac was interested in Bee culture and was skillful in the handling of them.  He was also an expert truck gardener.
  He was always friendly and kind but had a retiring disposition and preferred the quietude  of  his  home to amusements elsewhere.  He was an ardent church worker and an honest and faithful tithe payer.  He lived and loved, and his greatest desire was that his family would work diligently and faithfully and be rewarded for their works.
  In May 1891 Isaac, wife, and six of his family entered the Manti Temple and did work for themselves and their nearest relatives, among them his parents.  From that day until his death he was an enthusiastic Temple Worker and with his wife they spent their spare time and means to further the work nearest and dearest to them.  On 15 December 1926, at the age of 73 years he suffered a heart attack which ended his diligent and useful career.

Chapter Eight

WILLIAM HIATT AND ELIZABETH THOMPSON

EARLY YEARS OF WILLIAM HIATT
  William Hiatt Jr. was born 28 November 1762 in Rowan (now Guilford) County North Carolina in or near the Quaker settlement of New Garden.  North Carolina was a new frontier where his parents, William Hiatt and Susannah Hodson, had come before their marriage to find peace away from the French and Indian War.  His father never became involved in fighting in this war because he did not believe in killing another human being and besides the Indians had been their friends.
  In the 1760's, when William was very young, the family moved away from New Garden with many of his Hiatt relatives to what became known as Westfield Monthly Meeting in or near Mt. Airy, North Carolina five miles from the Virginia border and fifty miles from New Garden.  The Westfield Quaker Meetinghouse pictured on page 35 still stands there today.(1992)
  William Hiatt Jr., the sixth child in the family, grew up in these North Carolina hills near Mt. Airy with five sisters and six brothers:  Sarah, John, George, Susannah, Ann, (William) Rachael, Ruth, Joseph, Jacob, Jesse, Richard.
  Here on a 300 acre tract of land owned by his parents he and his brothers and sisters grew up sharing the joys of roaming the wooded hills together.  There were many cousins living nearby with whom they enjoyed many happy hours.
WILLIAM AND ELIZABETH MARRY
  He lived during the Revolutionary War but did not become a soldier in Washingtons Army.  He was married in 1792 after the war ended.
  William Hiatt Jr. married Elizabeth Thompson in Surry County, North Carolina in 1792.  Her maiden name [plus birth place and date] was not mentioned on the certificate because in the Quaker records the name is only recorded after the marriage ceremony and the bride takes on her husband's name.  In the following Quaker record William Hiatt is disowned and latter condemned for his marriage out of unity.
Westfield Monthly Meeting., Surry County, North Carolina:  18-2mo-1792 - William Hiett, Jr., disowned for marriage out of unity.  19th day 7th month, 1794 -William Hiett condemned his marriage out of unity.
Disownment for marriage out of unity- In the Quaker Meetings there was a report made up by the committee which investigated the couple "to determine if they were 'clear' for marriage, or in other words, if either the bride or bridegroom had been promised to anyone else.  The report is usually in the minutes and makes  interesting, if not particularly informative, reading.  If the couple were not members of the same meeting, the marriage took place at the bride's meeting."  7 P.46
  The quote below from the book "Our Quaker Ancestors",  explains further the meaning of disownment for marriage out of unity.
  In the monthly meeting records you will encounter two terms, "marriage contrary to discipline" and "marriage out of unity"  While these appear to be synonymous, they are distinctly different.  "Marriage contrary to discipline" means the couple was married by a civil servant, or by a "hireling priest" (a minister of another religion), while "marriage out of unity" means one of the parties in the marriage was not a Quaker.  Either of these conditions was reason enough for the couple to be "disowned" by the Quakers.  "Disowned" is a term you  will encounter often in meeting records.  It means just what you would think--the Society does not want those "disowned" persons attending the meetings.  Members could be disowned for many reasons, all detailed in these records.  Also noted are names of those appointed to a committee to meet with disgraced members--not once but as many times as necessary-in an effort to convince them of the error of their ways.  Once they are repentant, they are invited back to the meeting to admit publicly their wrongdoing.  They are then welcomed into the group as full-fledged members once again.  Again, all of this activity is fully reported in the monthly meeting minutes, in details not always complimentary to the guilty party.
  The fact is, in no other religious organization was it so easy to lose one's membership.  Even though the Quakers had no official creed, the organization expected members to live by a discipline dictated by the yearly meeting.  Any infraction was reported to the preparative meeting which, in turn, presented it to the monthly meeting.  A committee was appointed to investigate the charge and the visits to the offender began.  At such time as the culprit was ready to admit wrongdoing, he or she had also to explain the reason for such heinous action.  Those on the committee would then ask Divine forgiveness and all was forgotten-except for the record in the minutes.  However, if the person refused to admit guilt and ask this forgiveness, the committee recommended "disownment".
  By modern standards, some reasons for disownment are trivial.  They include:
1.*deviating from the truth (Quaker tenants)
2.*keeping liquor in the home
3.*fighting
4.*asking high interest on loans
5.*being seen on the street while a meeting was in progress 7 p.47

Quaker Meetings. - Since Quakerism demanded organization, it was natural for these southern Friends to search for a meeting to which they could report and from which they could expect support of their efforts to establish themsleves on the frontier.  The entire structure of the Friends movement was built around the concept of meetings of varying function, size, and authority.  There were Yearly Meetings, Quarterly Meetings, and Monthly Meetings.  The Yearly Meetings were the largest being composed of many Quarterly Meetings.  The Monthly Meetings and Preparative Meetings were the smallest in size, but their function and authority were different.  Monthly Meetings are under the jurisdiction of the Quarterly Meetings, the Quarterly Meetings are under the jurisdition of the Yearly Meetings.  Most of the records  were kept in the Monthly Meetings since they were closest to the people.  They were able to  keep track of the needs of the people better.  Preparative Meetings were held to  complaints of a trivial nature from more important matters so that the agenda of the monthly meeting was not overburdened.  In addition, the preparative meeting reviewed requests for membership, together with announced intentions of any members who wished to mary.  The recommendations for membership came out of the separate men's and women's meetings.
CHILDREN OF WILLIAM AND ELIZABETH
  William and his wife Elizabeth had a family of four boys, and two girls according to the 1810 census.  Names of family members are not mentioned on the census until 1850. but the Hiatt book gives their names as Charles, Jesse, (my direct line) William, Hiram, and Rebecca.  The other girl's name is not known.
  The Revolutionary War was won by the Americans in 1783 but their was no way for the new country to raise money to pay for the food, supplies and services of the soldiers who had fought this eight year war.  Thus when the country became the United States and the Constitution was signed in 1787, there was now some means of changing chaos into order.  The taxing system was started in 1792.
  The following paragraph gives a list of the taxes paid by William Hiatt beginning in 1792
  William's name was on the tax list in 1792, 1793, 1794, 1795, 1796, 1797, 1798 as owning 100 acres of land in Surry County.  His father deeded it to him the same year that he was married in 1792.  In August of 1799 he bought 50 acres for 20 pounds near the Arrarat River which was  also near his father's farm where he had grown up.
  In the year 1803 his Hiatt relatives began to emigrate into the wild frontiers of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois along with the main body of Quaker people.   They were seeking a place where slavery was not accepted or practiced.  His father, William Hiatt Sr, moved to the area of Ohio from Grayson County, Virginia with many of the Quaker Hiatts about 1803.  William Hiatt Jr. did not choose to move to Ohio at that time.  Instead he moved his family from Mt. Airy back to the Quaker community, Deep River Monthly Meeting in Guilford, North Carolina.
  He sold this 50 acres in Mt. Airy for 50 pounds, at a profit of 30 pounds and bought 96 acres in the Deep River District.  This was in the area where the Battle of Guilford Courthouse was fought during the recent Revolutionary War.  Notice that the money classification was changed from pounds to dollars about 1804.
  He and his family were received on certificate of removal (shown below) into the New Garden Quaker settlement in Guilford from the Westfield Monthly Meeting dated 23rd day 3rd month 1805.  This was the same vicinity where he was born and where his father, William, had first settled when he first came from Winchester, Virginia to North Carolina in 1751.
Deep River Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina --6th day-5th month-1805.  William Hiatt received on certificate from Westfield Monthly Meeting, dated 23rd day- 3rd month 1805.
  When a family wished to change locations, a certificate of removal was requested from its present meeting.  A committee was appointed to determine if the family affairs were in order.  If there were no debts outstanding and if all members of the family were in complete harmony with friends and neighbors, the committee reported that a certificate could be issued.  This document could name the father, mother, all the children, the monthly meeting to which they were going, and the date.  The meeting issuing the certificate is named also.
  They lived at the Deep River Monthly Meeting, in the Guilford Courthouse area from 1804 until 1813.
WILLIAM AND ELIZABETH CONTEMPLATE MOVE TO OHIO
  Since the main body of Hiatts had already gone west with the Quakers between the years 1803 and 1813, William and Elizabeth wondered if they should go west with the rest of the clan.  William Hiatt Jr. and his older son Charles took a trip to Ohio in 1813 to check out the conditions as to whether they wanted to move or not.  The following Quaker Certificates of Removal show that they first got a certificate from the Deep River Monthly Meeting in September, (ninth month) 1812 to go to the Fairfield Monthly meeting in Highland County, Ohio.
  The next certificate of removal was obtained in the Fairfield Monthly Meeting in Highland County, Ohio [October] 10 month 1813, one year later.  It was endorsed to Westfield Monthly Meeting.  Evidently they wanted to return to Westfield Monthly Meeting instead of going back to the Deep River Monthly Meeting where they left a year before. They had been in Ohio for over one year and were ready to go back to Westfield Monthly Meeting in Mt. Airy, North Carolina.
  The following Quaker records of William Hiatt from the year 1805 to 1813  show how events  were recorded  in their Monthly meetings.  These records also show a pattern of their moves.
Deep River Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina --6th day-5th month-1805.  William Hiatt received on certificate from Westfield Monthly Meeting, dated 23rd day- 3rd month 1805.  7th day 9th month 1812- Charles Hiatt received by request.  2nd day - 11th month 1812 - William Hiatt and son Charles granted a certificate.
Fairfield Monthly Meeting, Highland County, Ohio:  30th day 10th month 1813 A certificate received for William Hiatt and son Charles from Deep River Monthly Meeting, North Carolina endorsed to Westfield Monthly Meeting, North Carolina.
Westfield Monthly Meeting, Surry County, North Carolina - 9th day 4th month 1814 - William Hiett and son Charles received on certificate from Deep River Monthly Meeting dated 2nd day 11 month 1812.  12th day 8th month 1815 - Jesse Hiatt received by request.   11th day-4th month 1818.  William Hiatt disowned for marriage out of unity.
WILLIAM BUYS PROPERTY ON STONEY CREEK
  Now that the family were back in Surry County, North Carolina, William Hiatt bought 81 acres of land from Thomas A Ward for $75 in the Stoney Creek area on the 30th day of January 1814.
  He bought an additional 66 acres on Stoney Creek for $60 from the same man on 2nd of April 1815   Then in December 1815 he bought another 200 acres on Stoney Creek for $300 from Thomas Perkins.  This Stoney Creek property is still owned by Jesse Hiatt's descendants today. (1992) There is an old home still standing on that property which may have been built by William.
ELIZABETH  DIES - WILLIAM MARRIES AGAIN
  Three years after moving to Stoney Creek in 1817, heart-ache came to William. His beloved wife Elizabeth died.  The rigors of pioneer life including clearing land, building homes and raising children took its toll.  Her age is not known but William was only 54 years old at the time of her death and she probably was about the same age.
  William Hiatt Jr. married another woman by the name of Sarah Dunigan soon after about 1818 and they lived on the Stoney Creek property.  In the Quaker Westfield Monthly Meeting records in Surry County, North Carolina, William was disowned for marriage out of unity, indicating he had married again.  She evidently was not a member of his faith which caused the disownment.
  11th Month 4th month 1818 - William Hiett disowned for marriage out of unity.
  William sold the 81 acre tract of land in 1817 to his two sons Charles and Jesse for only $2.  This is the land which he had purchased in 1814 for $75.  Evidently this was a wedding present to his two older sons, Charles and Jesse who were married the following year.  According to the family group sheets, Jesse was twenty-two years of age at the time.  Charles sold his land to Jesse and emigrated to Wayne County, Indiana in 1822.
  On the 1820 census William Hiatt and his son Jesse were the only Hiatts  listed in Surry County North Carolina.  The rest of the Hiatts had all emigrated to the Quaker settlements in Ohio and beyond by that time.  On this census he and his wife Sarah Dunigan were over 45 years of age.  They had three male children at home and three female children, one being between the age of 10 and 16, and two  were under the age of 10.
  The 1820 census of Surry County, North Carolina lists William Hiatt Jr. and his family as follows: William Hiet - 1 male aged over 45, 2 males aged 18 to 26, 2 male 10 to 16,   1 male aged under 10.; 1 female aged over 45, 1 female aged 10 to 16, 2 females aged under 10. 15 p.127

WILLIAM SELLS LAND IN PREPARATION TO EMIGRATE TO OHIO
  William and Sarah continued to work this land growing enough food for their sustenance until 26th of August 1829 when he sold 100 acres to Benjamin Taylor for $200.  Benjamin Taylor would later become a relative through marriage.
  Benjamin Taylor had a daughter by the name of Elizabeth Taylor who later married Sterling Taylor.  Elizabeth and Sterling Taylor were the parents of Mary Taylor who married William Hiatt, the son of Jesse Hiatt mentioned above.  So this Stoney Creek property was owned by the Taylors as well as the Hiatts both of whom are our ancestors.
  The property is located on Sheep Farm Road which intersects with Hollow Road shown on the map on page 163 (obtained from the Surry Community College  Library in Dobson) and on page 19 sent to me by Delia Dechrest or Ella Gammons.).  It is also interesting to note that "Hollow Road" called the "Main Wagon Road", most likely is the Great Wagon Road which was greatly traveled from 1740 to 1800 and took the Hiatts from Philadelphia to Yadkin River.
DEATH OF WILLIAM HIATT AND SARAH DUNIGAN
  Sarah, William's wife, died in 1830 in Surry County, North Carolina according to the William Hiatt Jr. family group sheet.  We can imagine that William Hiatt became very discouraged after her death for he soon left his Stoney Creek property in Surry County, North Carolina.  He took his family of two teenage girls and two small boys five to ten years of age to Henry County, Indiana where his father, William and the main body of Quaker Hiatts were living.  His father moved there previously in the year 1803.  He, William, did not leave until 1829 and was one of the last of the Hiatts to emigrate into Indiana.  He died  there in Indiana soon after his arrival.
  The 1830 census for Henry County, Indiana:  William Hiatt - 1 male aged 60 to 70, 2 males aged 5 to 10;  1 female aged 15 to 20,  1 female aged 10 to 15.
  William did not live very long after he moved to Indiana.  His family group sheet shows he died in the year 1830 but evidently he was still living when the 1830 Indiana census was taken.   His father, who preceeded him to Indiana, outlived him by four years, living to be almost 100 years old.  He was only 68 years of age leaving four children to be raised by other family members.    The younger children on that census were children of Sarah Dunigan.  15 p.128

HISTORY OF THE QUAKER MIGRATION TO OHIO AND INDIANA
  The United States won the Revolutionary War in the year 1783 making it possible to extend their land holdings..  Before the Revolutionary War the land was owned by the British.  And before French and Indian War, the land on the east side of the Alleghany Mountains was owned by the French which then went to the British when the British won that war.  Now the land was owned by the American people and they   were free to move westward.
  The Quakers began to leave North Carolina around 1803. A panic was  caused by Zackariah Dicks, a respected Quaker leader they believed to be a prophet, when he  warned them "to come out of slavery" which produced a sort of panic and they began to emigrate west to Ohio.15 p.82
  North Carolina was considered a slave state after the Revolutionary War.  The Census of 1790 reported the State's white population at 288,204 and the slave population at 100,572 or a little more than one -third of the total.   The majority of North Carolinians never held slaves at any time.  The percentage of slaveholding families in the State was 31 per cent in 1790, 26.8 per cent in 1850, and about 28 per cent in 1860.  Slavery was later to be abolished completely after the Civil War in all the states.  The Civil War was caused by two different groups of people - those who favored states rights of the people to own slaves and those who did not.
  The Quakers were abolitionists and were bitterly opposed to slavery and the fugitive slave laws enacted in the United States between 1793 and 1850.  The laws provided for the return between states of escaped slaves.  The struggle to abolish slavery was largely religious.  The struggle was led by the Quakers,  to outlaw slavery in Pennsylvania as early as 1675. They obtained, almost single-handedly, the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire and the U.S.A. by acts of Parliament and Congress in 1808.
  Another reason for moving west was to obtain cheap land which was opening up.  The United State made a large purchase of land in 1803 which was called the Louisiana Purchase..  The Quakers did not emigrate to this area but went further north to Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana.  These states were part of the Northwest Territory which did not allow slavery.
  The Northwest Territory was awarded to England after the French and Indian War in 1763 and then it was ceded to the United States after the Revolutionary War in 1783.  The Ordinance of 1787 provided that the territory should be divided into divisions and as soon as any of the divisions had 60,000 free inhabitants it should be admitted to the Union.  It embraced territory now comprising the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and part of Minnesota.  It is estimated that in the year following the passage of the act, not less than 20,000 men, women, and children settled on the banks of the Ohio.  Ohio was organized as a territory in 1799.  In 1800 the district of Indiana was organized and the Illinois Territory was created in 1809.
  Opposition to slavery was the main reason for the Quakers to leave North Carolina.   The Ordinance of 1787 in the Northwest Territory provided that "schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged;" and that "there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude--". This made the Northwest Territory a very favorable place in which to settle.
HIATTS MOVE  NORTHWEST TO OHIO, INDIANA AND ILLINOIS
  I am including two stories from the Hiatt Book which give an unders-standing of how the Quaker Hiatt's may have lived as they moved to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
  The first story is about Jesse Hiatt, the younger brother of William Hiatt Jr. (do not confuse with our Jesse Hiatt) He first went to Clinton County, Ohio in 1810 with his first wife Martha.  His wife died and Jesse married another woman by the name of Sarah Kinsey Maxson, for both the marriage was their second.  The following  account of the Maxsons and Hiatts gives a picture of how the Hiatts may have emigrated from North Carolina to Ohio and Indiana and finally to Illinois.   It also gives a picture of how they lived during pioneer times.  It is taken from a history of McLean County, Illinois, written in 1874, and gives an account of the Maxons and the Hiatts.  I quote part of the story which goes as follows:  Jonathan Maxson was a step-son of Jesse Hiatt.
  Jonathan Maxson was born June 11, 1820, on a farm about half a mile from the town of Freeport in Harrison County, Ohio.  His ancestors were of Scotch, Irish and French descent.  He was one of a family of ten children.  His mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Kinsey, was twice married, and he had four brothers, two sisters and four half sisters.  Jonathan was intended by his father to be a farmer, and while a lad he learned the duties of that laborious but independent calling.  Farmer's boys do not usually pine away for the want of work, and Jonathan could always find plenty to do.  His education was not very well attended to, as educational advantages were not to be had where he lived.  He went to school only two terms and learned to read and spell.  Some time after the death of his father, David Maxson, his mother married a very worthy man named Jesse Hiatt, and moved to Clinton County, Ohio.(from Harrison County, Ohio)  Shortly after this the family determined to move to Illinois, and in the fall of 1830 started on their journey to Tazewell County, (of which McLean was then a part), as they had friends and relatives there.
  They went in two wagons, one under charge of Mr. Hiatt and the other driven by Christopher Kinsey, Jonathan's grandfather.  They also had five hundred sheep and four milch cows.  Their journey of two hundred and fifty miles occupied twenty-one days, because of the difficulty in taking charge of their large flock of sheep.  They camped out every night of their journey, except one, and by day they traveled from point to point without any road to guide them.  It was necessary every night  to guard the sheep from the wolves, but this was easily done as the frightened sheep huddled closely together.
  The entire expense of the journey was ten dollars spent for food, which was less than a dollar apiece, as the caravan consisted of eleven persons.  They had a very easy and pleasant journey with no remarkable adventures.  One of the party caught an eel about four feet long and weighing about six pounds  with his hands in the White River.  It made a supper for the whole party.  Jonathan the son of William's second wife, says this is not a fish story.
  The party arrived at Stout's grove on the twenty-first of September , 1830, but after a few days of rest proceeded to Dillon's Settlement (now in Tazewell County).  After spending two of three weeks in taking observations of the country, Mr. Hiatt returned to Stout's Grove and bought a farm of one hundred and sixty acres, (twenty acres under fence) with a log cabin, for four hundred dollars.  One half of the farm was prairie and the other half timber.
  Here the family succeeded very well.  Mr. Hiatt followed his trade as a blacksmith, and the boys attended to the farm, and they all did well.  Jonathan went to school sometimes during winters, for five years.  His teacher was Hosea Stout, the nephew of Ephraim Stout, the founder of the settlement at the grove which bears his name.  The School was attended by thirty or forty children, who came great distances and boarded with the farmers nearby.
  Jonathan Maxson never saw any candy until he was eighteen years of age.  How terrible this must have been for a boy.  People spun and wove their own clothing.  A calico dress to wear on Sunday was a piece of unwarrantable extravagance.  The family was always quite independent of the market.  Their tea was made from roots and herbs, their sugar from maple sap, and they kept twenty swarms of bees for honey.
  Jonathan Maxson states that during the winter of the deep snow (1830) he and his brother went out into the woods where it did not drift nor blow away and took a careful measurement of the depth of the snow with a stick and found it four feet deep.  During the early part of that terrible winter deer were very numerous, but when the deep snow came they were starved and hunted by famished wolves and by settlers with snow shoes, until they were almost exterminated.
  Shortly after the snow fell Mr. Jesse Hiatt killed a very large deer, which he was unable to carry home.  He buried it in the snow and covered  it with his coat to keep the wolves away.  But the snow afterwards fell so deep that he was unable to visit the spot for two weeks.  At last he put a harness on one of his horses and went to drag it home.  On his return with the deer he killed three others and attached them also to his horse.  But the load was so hard to drag that he did not return until late at night, when he found the frightened neighbors collected at his house, about to start on a search for him.
Families Blaze Trail in Back Country on horseback
  They had collected on horseback with trumpets and horns and various things with which to make unearthly noises, and were no doubt disappointed to find that there was no occasion for their fearful shrieks.  The remainder of the night was spent in dressing the deer. ---
  Jonathan's step-father, Jesse Hiatt, kept for a long time a gun which went through the Black Hawk war.  Captain McClure borrowed it and carried it through the war and when that exciting and troublesome campaign was finished, he returned the gun to its owner.
  Jonathan Maxson was eighteen years of age when his stepfather died and upon him devolved the duty of overseeing the farm. ---- 15 p.132
  The following was written by Mrs. Flora (Harvey) Kittle, in 1926 -- a great-granddaughter of Isaac and Lydia (Dicks) Harvey -- The  subjects of the stories are no direct relation to the Hiatts on our line.  I am quoting this story to show what the Hiatts who went to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois went through as they were emigrating to many of the same destinations.  It gives more background on the Revolutionary War and why the settlers felt a need to emigrate Northwest from North Carolina.

LYDIA DICKS HARVEY --EMIGRATES TO OHIO, AND INDIANA
  The second story of Lydia Dicks Harvey also tells about the emigration from North Carolina into the frontier life in Ohio and about the Underground Railroad set up to help the Negro slaves escape out of slavery into non-slaveholding states and into Canada.  It also gives some background material about the Revolutionary War.
  In later times in North Carolina, there were many emigrations due not only to the Revolutionary War, but to troubles within the state itself, culminating in the "War of the Regulations".  Some went to South Carolina, and on to Georgia.  Some moved farther west to the region of old Salisbury; and some hardy pioneers surmounted the difficulties of the almost impassable mountains, and settled in eastern Tennessee.  We have found two lines of Harveys among these settlers.
  Then later, when the sickening wrongs of slavery were becoming more and more intolerable, the tide of emigration turned toward the Territorial lands north of the Ohio.  By the Congressional Ordinance of 1787, no slaves could be held there.  We have accounts of some Harveys emigrating from Tennessee to the Friend's settlement at Redstone, Pennsylvania.  Most of our people living in North Carolina came north together in 1806, settling in Clinton County, Ohio, and adjacent counties, particularly Warren County, where my people were among the earlier settlers.   "Most families," she writes, "made the trip in a farm wagon drawn by two horses.  Most every wagon carried a tent to be used at night, and when they arrived at their destination till a cabin could be built.  The distance was called 700 miles or more.  Every one of the family able to walk was expected to do so.  My grandmother Harvey was a frail little woman, but she walked, so she said, over half of the way.  Besides, she did the cooking by the roadside, for a family of seven whose appetites were sharpened by the pure mountain air they traveled through.
  Arriving at Cumberland Gap (a road was built in 1806 in Jefferson's administration.  New Standard Encyclopedia,) no team could take a wagon down its steep slopes.  There were two ways of descending.  One was to unload the wagon, secure a strong rope to the tongue and wind it a time or two around a deeply rooted tree.  Several men would then hold the rope, plying it out gradually and letting the wagon down backwards.  Grandfather chose the other way, that of unloading and taking the wagon to pieces, and carrying it piece by piece down the steep grade, as well as everything they had in the wagon.  They were seven weeks on the road.
  A glimpse of our people in the early settling of Clinton County, Ohio, is given in a sketch written by Rebecca Harvey, a sister to my grandfather.  (Rebecca a daughter of Lydia Dicks Harvey, and a granddaughter of Ruth Hiatt Dicks -[editor-WPJ]  She was a small child when they came to the new home, and wrote the sketch when she was nearly 80 years old.)
  "In the year 1804", she writes, "Samuel Lee, an orphan boy raised by my father, moved with his family and built a cabin on the place my father had bought previous to that time."  Then she speaks of their coming with other settlers in the year 1806.  "In those early days," she continues, "there were some remarkable circumstances took place, and, I think, providentially.
  It was getting late in the fall when we arrived at our new home.  Isaac Harvey (her father) had employed Samuel Lee to build him a house - which he did - had it up and covered, and a pretty good hewed log house it was, with a snug puncheon floor.  It looked to be such a nice place in which to live, Eli Harvey's wife being weakly, that Isaac proposed they come in with his family; and he took in their mother and a hired hand that came with us, which made just twenty in all; and we lived that way for a while.  All seemed satisfied but Eli; he was so dissatisfied that he thought he must go back to North Carolina in the spring; and he thought he would not build such a house as others had built.  It was an extremely cold winter, but whenever the weather was so they thought they could stand it to go out to work, Eli would go down to his place and clear away the under brush in readiness to build.  By this time he had concluded to stay till fall, but thought he could not stay any longer in such a wilderness country.
  He finally cut the logs for a house and hewed them very particularly; and while cutting and preparing the logs, he became so homesick that he decided to move his family down to where he was at work.  This would save him much time going and coming.  So, when the coldest weather was over, they set up a tent and lived in it for a time.  The rest tried to persuade him not to do this because of the ill health of his wife; but she was willing if only it would satisfy him.  He set the tent with the opening to the east.   Just behind it stood a very large sugar tree which forked several feet from the ground.  One day, when he was away from home, there came up a tremendous hurricane, such a one as I had never seen before.  Greatly alarmed, he started for home.  When within a quarter of a mile from home, he observed trees torn up by the roots, or broken down, and the underbrush flattened to the ground.  Now he had to walk the logs of fallen trees and pick his way, in search of his dear family.  He thought if he found them at all, they would surely be crushed to death.  But at last he spied the tent and saw that it had been unharmed.  The great sugar tree had been uprooted, and had fallen in the direction of the tent, but in such a manner that the tent stood unharmed between the two great arms of the forked tree.
  The family were greatly frightened, but unhurt.  They had been alarmed about his safety.  His family was safe; and the dear old pioneer knelt with them then and there, to express his gratitude in prayer for their providential deliverance.  After that he lost sight of going back to North Carolina, and with the help of his neighbors, he cleared away the timber and built a snug little house, which I believe is still standing by the side of the frame house he built afterwards.  (This was written in 1872.)
  By a treaty with the Indians at Greenville, Ohio, a very desirable strip of land in what is now eastern Indiana, was opened for settlement in 1811.  The valley of the Whitewater was then literally flooded with the stream of emigration, principally from the south.  Coming from North Carolina, there was a dividing of ways.  Some chose to go on into what is now Washington County, Indiana.  A young man whose parents settled in Washington County, had a sweetheart whose parents settled in what is now Wayne County.  The distance was so great that the suitor was obliged to stay over night in the woods, on the way, and keep up a fire that he might not be attacked by wild beasts.
                           Quaker ford rivers to get to their destination
  A people strongly opposed to the slave traffic made themselves felt by the operation of what was known as the underground railway, in the newly settled lands of Ohio and Indiana, especially in the Whitewater valley.  Many of our people were instrumental with others in helping fugitive slaves on toward Canada, where they could not be overtaken and brought back by their masters.
  ---William, my ancestor, son of Isaac and Martha, also died in North Carolina.  His wife, Elizabeth, with her children and grandchildren were among the early settlers of Clinton County, Ohio.  She could remember the overland trip from Pennsylvania to North Carolina in a Conestoga wagon, and she lived to see her fourth generation.  There would be much to tell of this family of hers, but I will mention only one of the sons, Isaac Harvey, my great grandfather.  He was one of many in our branch of the family in Ohio and Indiana who sacrificed much in missionary work among the Indians.  Through his efforts, Friends were interested to establish a mission at the headquarters of the reservation for the Shawnees at Wapakonnetta, Ohio, and he and his wife who was Lydia Dicks, were the superintendents for many years.  He is accredited with having put an end to belief in witchcraft among the Shawnees, and the story of his offering his own life before the council of war-determined chiefs, to save that of one accused, I have found in four different books on the shelves of our State Library.  It is best given in "History of the Shawnee Indians", by Henry Harvey, and it is well given in "The Prophet", by Edward Eggleston.
  When the lands of Ohio were wanted for settlements of white people, the Indians, by treaty, accepted a reservation in what is now the state of Kansas.  Many of the Harveys of our branch had a part in the work of carrying on the mission established there.  Simon D. and Mary H. Harvey, my grand-parents, assumed the work at a time when there was so much lawlessness and border ruffians had already attempted to break up the mission because of the sympathy shown to fugitive slaves.  My parents, Moses B. and Martha Harvey and their two little girls, my older sisters, went out by wagon from Indiana in 1857, to assist at the mission.  They later settled in Kansas, and in Kansas I was born.
        The Northwest Territory - destination of the Quaker people
  One more view and the pageant is done.  Back there where we were looking upon the efforts of our people with others, to mitigate the sufferings of the slaves, I should have called your attention to a scene enacted at the National Capital.  I give it as found in Cyrus Pringle's Diary, a book in our city library.  "On several occasions, friends, in larger or smaller groups, went to Washington for times of prayer and special communion with the great president, Lincoln.  These times were deeply appreciated by the heavily burdened man.  Tears ran down his cheeks, we are told, as he sat in bowed silence, or knelt as they prayed for him to Almighty God.  Writing of the visit of Isaac and Sarah Harvey, of Clinton County, Ohio, in the autumn of 1862, Lincoln tenderly said, "May the Lord comfort them as they have sustained me."15 p.158
