  Abstract from the Hiatt Family, Record of Edgar Hiatt The record of the
  first George Hiatt, born 1698 at Greenage, three miles from Dublin,
  Ireland. His brother Thomas Hiatt who came to Penn. about 1733, joining
  the New Garden, Chester Co., Friends Meeting April 10, 1733. He states
  that some of the family went to Va. prior to 1759 and joined Hopewell
  Friends Meeting. George Hiatt married Martha Wakefield in Penn. in 1724.
  Martha and children took certificate from Hopewell Va. Meeting to Cane
  Creek N.C. in 1751. George, it seems remained in Va. until 1754 and took
  certificate from Fairfield meeting Va. to New Garden N.C. where he was
  joined by Martha and children. George died 25 Oct 1793. Martha died 5 Feb
  1794. To George were born 11 children. This record received from Edwin J.
  Hiatt
  
  Wellmington, Ohio 16th April 1938, by Frank Hiatt. George and Martha were
  members of New Garden Mtg. for over 40 years.
  
  Found in The Winchester Journal-Herald, Saturday, Dec 28, 1946. Randolph
  Co, Ind. History of the Hiatt Family page 6. It is not known when George
  and Martha Hiatt with their children, removed from Pennsylvania and
  settled within the verge of Hopewell Montly Meeting, Fredrick Co., Vir. a
  guess would place the time near 1740. They resided here until the middle
  of the eighteenth century. Exactly what disdemeanor occurred, is unknown,
  but from 1746 to 1754; George Hiatt was disowned. In Jun 1751, Martha
  Hiatt and children were given in certificate to Cane Creek Monthly
  Meeting, Alamanac county, North Carolina. She and her children were
  received at Cane Creek in October of that same year. In May of 1751
  Martha Hiatt was given a certificate back to Virginia. The next recorded
  minutes found is in the minutes of New Garden Monthly Meeting when George
  Hiatt was recieved on certificate 11th Mo. 30th 1754. It is strange
  indeed that circumstances warranted Martha to chase back and forth
  thorough wilds of North Carolina and Virginia. She must have been of a
  singular nature for again in 1768 she went "Northward" to see her
  children and Friends. In 1761 she was appointed a minister. George and
  Martha Hiatt continued with in the verge of the New Garden Monthly
  Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina, until their death.
