biographical and/or anecdotal:
John came from England with William
Penn's second voyage in the fall of 1699. He was a member of the Quaker sect. John's
occupation was that of a farmer and a merchant. He was a member of the religious
organization, "Society of Friends" in England * from Marie Ballen- Moulton,
Iowa: The Heitts/ Haitts were Quakers in England fleeing from persecution to Holland
and Normandy, France. Many family members died before coming to the United States.
The Hiatt England History was complied by William Perry Johnson via Marie Ballen.
The following is what is known of the life of John Hiatt (name sometimes) spelled
Hiett) John Hiatt was born about 1674 in England and was a Quaker before the death
of George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends. When John Hiatt was about twenty
one years of age, he married Mary Smith, the daughter of William and Grace Smith.
What happened to them after their marriage in England if not clear, but there was
a John Hiatt that was taken prisoner in Somerset-shore in 1683 (this date should
probably be 1693) at the time the Quakers were persecuted. The record says that he
lived in the village of Shipton Mallet. It may be the same John Hiatt, (then again
it may not). At any rate, he turned up in Pennsylvania in 1699 and bought 300 acres
of land in Bucks Co. for 350 Pounds. His deed is in the Courthouse at Doylestown,
the seat of Bucks Co. John was about 26 years of age at this time, (his wife was
22). They had three small sons, the youngest a little baby.-There is another deed
on record there, dated 1706 when John Hiatt bought some more land in Bucks Co. on
the Delaware River that had originally belonged to William Penn. Furtheer records
show that John Hiatt was alive in 1726, but do not show how much longer he lived.
His wife, Mary was alive in 1745 at the age of 78, but her death date is not known.-Each
of the three sons became ancestors of large relationships.
