My Gelatt family info starts with George Gelatt (Gelat) b. abt 1752 in MA, a private in the Rhode Island Militia during the Rev War. George settled in Gibson, PA between 1809 and 1812. His son Collins married a Betsy McIntyre and had at least one child, Nancy, born in 1808 in Savoy, MA. Nancy was married to a Townsend Weyant and lived in Binghamton, NY. Their son Nathaniel S. Weyant (there were possibly other children I'm not aware of) was raised by Asa A Lester, whom Nancy married in 1847 after Townsend's death. My Weyant line then moves to Indiana and on to Chicago. If you have info or ?'s on any of this please share. Thanks Nancy

I have your line in my family but very few dates. If Nancy was born in 1808 she was probably the youngest of the children of Collins and Betsey as he was born ca 1791. I would be happy to exchange with your. Where in Indiana did your family go? I am from Northern Indiana originally.

Thanks for your reply. From what I've pieced together, they went to Broome County, NY. From there, my g-grandfather, Nathainel Weyant went to Valpariso, IN. Email me directly at gravity_inc@Yahoo.com to exchange info. Nancy
