Harry L and Augusta C ? Piatt
Harry Lee Piatt was born c1870 in Missouri. He is listed on the 1880 census of St. Louis, St Louis County, Missouri, as the son of Michael H and Eliza D Kirk Piatt. I have to question why Michael and Eliza would have two sons named Harry - the oldest being Harry/Henry B Piatt born 1850 in Ohio. Could Harry B Piatt be a nephew or some other relation to Michael and Eliza? Was he adopted? The notes of Trix Piatt Kochs only list Harry B Piatt as Michael and Eliza's son.
Harry L Piatt married Augusta C ? who was born c1875 in Missouri to German parents.
Harry and Augusta had the following known children:
- Olive Piatt b: c1897 MO
- Harold L Piatt b: c1900 MO
