Sent by Candice M. Snow. Somewhere in my records I came across the following information. George Washington Hiatt's brother ran a store in OH and later moved to IL.

Sent by William HIATT, Marshall, MI. George was raised by a family whose head was Reuben Peel, a Quaker. When George became 21, Mr. Peel gave him $40, a horse, and a saddle. George departed to make his own way in the world.
On rumor, the only tim George saw his father was an occation when George rode horseback to visit him, the father was not in a mood to visit as he was dead drunnk. Great great grandfather Hiatt was reported (vaguely) to be a confirmed drunkard and was red headed. Goerge was a tea totoller.
George Washington HIATT was a large man with white hair (not balk) and a beard of medium length and extent, sort of a stubby blunt one. He built a frame house, two stories high, on a site of a crossroads about two miles northwest of the village of Kingman, Shelby Co., IL. It was built about 1880. It had a big east-exposure porch (roof was a part of the house roof) and the house was the finest in the area.
The house still stands, unpainted and uncared for. In our boyhood days, it was (surrounded) by orchards, gardens, and barn lots, with about 15 acres devoted thereto. Fruits included pears of several varieties, peaches, appleas, quinces, plums, and apricot trees, grapes and berreis as black, yellow and red rasberries, drewberries and huckleberries.
There was a large hay-barn, well, flowering shrubs, and a giant maple shade tree. Grandpa's house was a gathering place for family social affairs, with big dinners on Sunday. Between the front yard and the grass-covered roadside was a white picket fence.
Phoebe Reynolds boe him no children but according to a bronze marker in the Brick (Caskell) Church cemetery, located about four miles north of Trowbridge, IL, her children (who provided the marker) were Harry, Arthur and Ella Reynolds. George's third and last wife was Louise Hoxie, who survived him. She inherited a life interest in his estate when he died. She was a tall, pleasant and capable person. On one of her visits after George's death (she moved to Calif.) she gave Clark and Lyman each 50 cents and advised them to invest it. They bought each a hen and nesting eggs. By this means their capital was increased in a single summer to $1.50 each. This was their first business project. George's estate, upon his death was administered by his son (our father) William Pearson Hiatt, under court order, and the land in the estate was divided equally among the heirs.
Grandpa Hiatt (George W.) came from OH, by horse-drawn moving wagons (it could have been ox-drawn) with his first wife and five children. His first residence was along Bush Creek, about 1 mile northwest of his later home.
