Found in Davis, A Quaker Family page 18.

"The birth of Tamer Davis was recorded by New Garden MM, N.C. to which
southwest Virgina Freinds were attached. Tamer grew up in the Grayson Co.,
Va., area and before her 16th birthday was married to James Vernon. He was the son of James and Content Vernon. He probably was born in Columbia Co., GA but his father died when he was still a child and his mothe returned to North Carolina. After she remarried James Jr. went to live with his Aunt Phebe (Vernon) Middleton and migrated with that family to southwest Virginia. James and Tamer (Davis) Vernon followed his brother to Concord MM, Ohio about 1805. The Cernons and Middletons were set off with Stillwater MM, Belmont Co., Ohio. There James Vernon died about 1815.
Tamer did not remain long a widow. In 1816 at Stillwater MM she was
married to Jehu Hiatt, a widower with seven children. According to Johnson,
Jehu was born about 1781, probably in Surry CO., N.C. and married first in 1801 in Grayson Co., Va, Tamar Lundy, daughter of Amos and Ann (Collins) Lundy. Jehu and Tamer (Davis) Vernon may well have known each other from childhood.
Shortly after the Hicksite separation, in which the Hiatts took the
Orthodox side, Jehu and Tamer moved to Clear Ceek MM, Highland Co., Ohio. One wonders if strained relations over the Hicksites controvery prompted the move.
In 1837 the Hiatts and Vernons began to congregate in Morgan Co., Ohio. In February of that year Jehu and Tamer Hiatt, were granted a certificate from Clear Creek MM to Pennsville (Deerfield) MM in Morgan Co., Chester field MM, which was established in October, recorded the death of Jehu Hiatt, age 56, on 7-13-1837. He was buried at Chesterhill.
The 1850 census showed Tamer Hiatt, 70, living with her son James, 43, in
Marion Twp, Morgan Co. James remarried in that year at Chesterfield MM, but
Tamer probably continued to make her home with him. Her death at age 91 was
recorded at Chesterfield MM and she was buried at Chesterhill.

James E. Hiatt
by Donald Hiatt
My grandparents came to Nebraska from Missouri in 1884 and settled in
western Hayes County where they resided for 16 years until my grandfather,
Stephen Hiatt, passed away in 1901. My grandmother lived with her married
children until her death several years later. Both are buried in Antelope
Cemetery in back of the old Elmer Church. Hearsay has it their home was made
of strips of prairie sod laid up as walls with poles and grass to hold up the
dirt roof. Corn shuck mattresses or "feather-tick" beds provided some comfort for sleeping, though sometimes noisy. Bed-bugs got the old "coal-oil" treatment at least once a week. None of this latter tale is hearsay, but from an eye-witness, myself.
My father, James E. "Ed" Hiatt came west with the family and herded cattle on the wide open prairies. He returned to Missouri from a time and there married Jennie Lucinda Brown, Dec 25, 1898. They returned to Nebraska,
ranching and farming south of Elsie for several years before building a new
home on the hill at the south edge of Elsie.
When the early railroads were built through the west, a sidetrack and
stockyard with a chute was usually provided at about 9 or 10 mile intervals to accommodate the farmers and ranchers so that their horse-drawn wagons of grain or livestock could make the trip and return home in one day. Hence, most points became towns to accommodate the visiting farmers and ranchers.
"Ed" Hiatt was a community minded person and became a member of the Elsie baseball team in company with Homer Troxel, Matt McGahan, Ernest and Henry Normer, and Jeff, Jim, Jack and Don Baker. He also was a member of the Elsie Theatrical Company consisting of at least ten tried and true souls, namely: Charles and Rosetta Witt, Sam Lewis, Grace, Mae, Sam, Frank and John O'Connor, and "Ed" Hiatt. Besides farm and ranch interest, he was a partner in the Hiatt and Baker Livery, Feed and Sale Barn in Elsie. He was county commissioner when the new Grant High School was built. He traveled much of the panhandle of Nebraska for years buying cattle, horses and mules, first with a team and buggy, then later in a Model T Ford. The cattle were shipped east on the Highline Railroad of the old C.B. and Q. "Ed" found time to join the local I.O.O.F. Lodge and gained the Grand Master chair as well as fathered and helped rear seven children. One died in infancy. The eldest, Edith Helen, was born Sept 17, 1900. Next came a boy, Charles Hershel on Sept 9, 1902 who became the apple of his daddy's eye, and a cowboy at 14 with his own horse and all the trappings.
So it was that when a trainload of cattle was to be shipped east, Charlie
begged to go along as one of the caretakers. John O'Connor also went with him
from Elsie. They were riding in the caboose with 30 other men, in the middle
section of a three train combine when the train stopped because of a "hot box". It was about 4 o'clock on a Sunday morning on Oct 16, 1916, when the third section engine struck the caboose. Eleven men were killed including my brother Charlie and John O'Connor, and 16 more were injured.
This tragedy, coupled with the loss of over 40 head of fat cattle was a
blizzard of a year later caused the family to leave the community.
By now there were four more members of the family, Bula Katheryn, Jessie
Nelle, Anna Grace and Donald Edgar. The family moved west to settle in Arvada, Colorado, where the older girls finished high school. From there the family migrated to several places in Eastern Colo. During the "Dust Bowl" of the 1930's we moved north of Baca County finally settling near Wray, Colo. It was here that my mother passed away on Nov 21, 1936, and was returned to Elsie to be buried next to her son, Charles. "Ed" then married Iva Troxel and they moved to the farming community of Otis, Colo. A few years later they moved to Anaheim, Calif. It was there that "Ed" passed away on his brithday, Sept 13, 1951 at the age of 77 years. Iva survives at 96 years of age, in a nursing home in Delta, Colo. Anna Grace is my only living sister, and lives near her daughter at Deer Trail, Colo.
I, Donald, enlisted in the Air Corps in 1939, went overseas in Aug. of
1942 to Egypt. Our bomb group assisted British General Montgomery across North Africa, then to Sicily and Italy before being sent to India in early 1944. I was wounded while flying in the battle of El Alemein, Egypt. After seven months on the Burma border, I returned home to become a gunnery instructor in Florida. I was discharged in 1945, came home and married Dorothy Herman, Dec 23, 1945. I retired form the educational field in 1976 after going from teacher, to Principal, to Superinterdent, to the faculty of C.S.U. in Fort Collins. We have two married children, a daughter in Pueblo, Colo. and a son in Buena Park, Calif. We live in Loveland, Colo. during the summer and Sun City, Arizona in the winter.
