William was born in Kentucky, but ended up in Indiana where most of his children were born. When his father, Robert's, will was written in April of 1845 he says 'I, Robert Piatt, of Fountain County, Indiana'. Perhaps he was living with or near William at that time. William's last two known children were born in Illinois. He is said to have moved to Cumberland, Maryland, in the 1860's. I do not have an abstract for William on the ?Fountain County, Indiana census of 1850.
