I'm looking for family for my gggrandmother - Sarah "Sallie" Hyatt - some have even spelled it Hiatt. Sarah was born 26 Oct 1812 in KY. She married Benjamin Franklin Hopkins before 1836 in KY, and sometime around 1840 they moved south - first to TN then to Tishomingo Co MS.
We have always thought Hyatt was Sarah's maiden name, and it still might be but recently through DNA testing we have discovered that her first son born 24 Jun 1833 - William Arachei Hopkins was not a Hopkins. So it's possible that Sarah was actually married to a Hyatt/Hiatt. So I started looking at every possible Hyatt/Hiatt in KY during that time frame and that lead me to Samuel.
What is very interesting is that your 1820 census for Samuel shows a daughter under the age of 10. Sarah would have been 8 then. Do you have any info on this daughter?
Thank you,
Cay Devin
