Jacob Piatt, (1747-1834), was placed on the pension roll of Boone County, Ky., 1832 for service as adjutant and captain, New Jersey line.
From this ancestry came COL. JACOB PIATT, grandfather of A. Sanders and Donn Piatt. He was born May 17, 1747. When the war of the Revolution came on he was elected captain of a military company, composed of ninety young farmers. Not long afterwards he was commissioned captain in the regular service, and from that on served through the entire war, taking part in all the great battles, and was promoted to the rank of colonel to serve on the staff of General Washington. He was wont to tell how, at the battle of Brandywine, his command was on the extreme left as it lay entrenched on the banks of the Brandywine creek.
Before the battle, as they stood in line, looking at the English, Washington rode down and stopping near Captain Jacob Piatt, observed: “Do you see those gentlemen over there?” pointing at the red coats. “We do,” was answered. He then continued. “If they come nearer give them a knock and send them back again. This will be a glorious day for America.” At the battle of Monmouth, Major Piatt was under Lee, who had been ordered to advance while Washington brought the reserve. History tells us that Lee disobeyed orders and was in full retreat when Washington met him. The meeting happened in the presence of Major Piatt, who, seated on a pile of rails, was binding up a wound in his leg. The two generals swore at each other in the most furious manner. The old Calvinistic Huguenot approved of his general’s profanity on the ground that it was deserved.
COLONEL JACOB PIATT was in the first expedition against Quebec, and in the important battles of Germantown, Brandywine, Short Hills, and Monmouth. At the last mentioned engagement he was wounded, as we have said, and, although seriously, clung to the service, never even for a day off duty. He enjoyed the confidence of his great commander. After the war he married and settled on the Ohio, in Boone county, Kentucky. He was an extremely austere man, as pious as he was patriotic, giving all of his pension to the support of a clergyman of his own faith. He lies buried on the farm, under a quaint old tombstone, that had engraved upon it the simple yet poetic inscription:JACOB PIATT
