By the 1860 census Horatio had left the home and his mother and two siblings were still in Tiffin Township, Adams, County, Ohio. Also in Tiffin Township were his father's brothers, Jacob Piatt and Benjamin Piatt and their families and his grandparents.
By the 1880 census of Tiffin Township, Adams County, Ohio, Horatio's family appeared as follows:
- Piatt, Horatio age 50 born OH / MWM / Farmer / father/mother born VA
- Piatt, Anna (wife) age 46 born OH / MWF / Keeping House / father/mother born OH

From familysearch.org page 214B. There are many other Piatt families in Tiffin Township at this time. Laverne Ingram Piatt offers some analysis of Horatio's children as follow:
"James J, at 27, was likely on his own. [I find him on this census in Manchester Township with wife, Hettie, and son, Charles S, aged 6 months. MCP] Henry Lewis, 25, with the family in 1880. William B, 22, with the family in 1880.
Martha, at 21, likely married. David C, 18, with the family in 1880.
John V, 16, with the family in 1880. Frank, aged 14 in 1880 census, but not in family group list. Sarah, not in census, should be 14--deceased? working "out"? or mis-listed? Mary Alice, 12, with family in 1880. Lizzie A, 10, with family in 1880.
Mary Lora, 4, with family in 1880, but age is incorrect according to family information. George Franklin, should be aged4, missing from census. I'm wondering if the census taker just didn't mess up here with multiple errors--a mis-named 14 year old, a wrong age on Mary Lora, and omission of 4-year old Frank because he had already listed a Frank and a 4-year old. The census on this page was taken on two days. Contributors to this issue of Volume 6 of PFN with Adams County origins were David D Piatt of Stout OH and James D Piatt of FL. James is deceased. I haven't hear of David for some time."
