and
Ora Frances (Watson) Piety (1882-1935)

This Cemetery Guide discloses certain information on the Vigo and Knox County Indiana
burials for ancestors of Zadoc John Piety and his wife Ora Frances (Watson) Piety. It
was produced in anticipation of an October 8, 2011 family reunion, to be hosted by
Dennis and Sharon Piety at their Pimento Indiana home.

Because this Guide’s primary goal is to facilitate visits by interested family members to
their ancestors’ grave sites, not all available information is presented here. This
document only contains basic directions to the cemeteries and basic information on the
ancestor, tombstone images, and GPS coordinates of each tombstone.

Refer to www.hoggattfamily.com for additional details and scanned images of birth
certificates, marriage bonds and licenses, U.S. Census images, military pension
applications, death certificates, wills and probate records, pictures, and more.

Zadoc John Piety

Thomas Piety was son of British Captain Austin Piety and Sarah Polk. There is conflicting information
regarding his birth. Possible dates 1763 (plaque under tombstone in honor of Revolutionary War service) and
Dec 1770 (tombstone). Thomas’ listing in the 1830 Census for Knox Co IN included one free male in the
household between 50 and 60 years old, which lends most credence to the 1770 tombstone birth year. James
Polke wrote in A Historical and Biographical Sketch of a Pioneer Life 1884, “Austin Piety with his command
was ordered to Kaskaskia, on the Mississippi River in 1770 by the British Authorities. He descended down the
Ohio River with his wife and troops under his command, as far as the falls of the Ohio River (Louisville) and
there made a short stay in order to lay in a supply of buffalo and other meat; thence down the river to its mouth
(now Cairo IL) and from thence up to their destination, the ‘American Bottom’ on the east side of the
Mississippi River opposite St. Louis (Ft. Kaskaskia is down river, south of St. Louis), and during their stay,
Thomas Piety was born in 1770. The party returned to Ft. Pitt and during the Revolutionary War Austin Piety
returned to England and from thence never returned, leaving his wife, Sarah Polk Piety, and four children in
America.”

Mary “Polly” Duncan was born 25 Nov 1774 in
Maryland to James Duncan, who moved his family in
her youth to Nelson Co. KY.

The marriage bond for Thomas Piety and Mary
Duncan, signed by Thomas Piety, was dated 26 Jul
1792. Because Mary was not yet 18 years old in the
Summer of 1792, her father James Duncan’s
permission was required for the marriage license to be issued. They were married 07 Aug 1792 at the Nelson
Co. KY home of James Duncan, Mary’s father, by Joshua Carman. Mary described Joshua Carmen as “a
creditable Baptist preacher.”

Thomas Piety made application for military pension on
January 1, 1834 in Knox Co. IN. He was eligible for the
pension under Act of Congress dated April 25, 1808, but
was unaware of the pension until the District’s
Congressional Representative John Ewing notified him in
1833. He was wounded during his military service at St.
Clair’s defeat in the November 1791 Indian War. For his
service, he received a pension of $4 per month, beginning
January 1834. He only collected his monthly $4 a little over
one year, as he died on 17 May 1835. Thomas’ pension
application stated, “during the Revolutionary war and long
after peace had been concluded with England, he served as
a volunteer and a drafted militia man in different
expeditions against the Indians. Served in that from Fort
Pitt, now Pittsburg Pennsylvania, afterward from Kentucky,
that he cannot precisely state his age is now apparently
seventy years, he well knows by events in his memory that he
has a distinct recollection of his various services as a
volunteer, and as a drafted militia man under Col. J. Hardin, Col. Wilkinson and Col. Scott at different times
from Kentucky against hostile Indians in the North West Territory. That he served in Capt Presley Gray’s
Company of Drafted men collected near the falls of Ohio then attached to Virginia and with said Company
under the command of Col Oltham joined the Army of Gen. St. Clair near Fort Hamilton, that in the engaging
with the Indians near Fort Recovery called St. Clair’s defeat, he the said Piety while in the line of his duty was
severely wounded by a musket or rifle shot and disabled in the thigh and hip joint as stated in the accompanying
Certificate of two physicians and the affidavits of the Ensign of the Company Thomas Spencer and John Parker
a Surgeon of the same which are hereunto annexed that he served for the time he was drafted until wounded as
aforesaid that his mode of life since leaving the service has been that of a farmer. That he resided in the State
of Kentucky in the County of Breckenridge, that for the last nineteen years he has resided in the County of Knox
in the state of Indiana where he now resides at the taking of this testimony.” John Parker, one of the supporting
witnesses for Thomas Piety’s pension application, stated “he well remembered seeing said Piety laying or
sitting wounded during the engagement and while yet on the battle ground that he and said Parker being
himself wounded in the same battle was afterward in the same bed with said Piety and that they frequently
examined the wounds of each other.” Another witness, Thomas Spencer, affirmed his acquaintance “with the
said Thomas Piety since the year 1777 at which period they both resided in the vicinity of Fort Pitt now
Pittsburg Pennsylvania, that the said Spencer removed to Jefferson County Kentucky in the year 1780 and said
Piety also removed to the neighborhood of the State of Ohio in said County of State a few years afterwards,
where their former acquaintance and intimacy was renewed, that a draft of Militia was made in said County in
the year 1790 for men to go on an expedition against hostile Indians up the Wabash River under Major
Hamtramck in which expedition said Piety served as a Sergeant in Capt. McHall’s company, and he said
Spencer served as a private in said Company. The expedition returned to the Falls after burning the Indian
town near the mouth of the Vermillion and the Militia was there discharged. That he the said Spencer served in
different expeditions sent from Kentucky in 1790 and 1791 and then under the command of Col J Hardin, Col.
Wilkinson, and Col Scott always had the said Thomas Piety along with them. That he the said Spencer was in
1791 elected an Ensign in Capt. Presley Gray’s company of drafted men which under General St. Clair’s army
with said Thomas Piety serving as a private and the company was attached to the command of Colonel Oldham
in joining the main army near Fort Hamilton Ohio. That said Piety and this Deponent again became mates
until the defeat of our Army near Fort Recovery known as St. Clair’s Defeat in which our company suffered
greatly. That said Thomas Piety was severely wounded in the thigh or groin, and when all were retreating in
confusion he the said Spencer discovered said Piety to be utterly unable to travel, and a horseman being at
hand, he said Spencer laid hold of the bridle and placed said Piety behind the rider in which manner the
Page 5
Mariah Creek Christian Church Cemetery, Oaktown, Knox Co., IN
wounded man was brought off the field and conveyed to Fort Washington from whence said Spencer and Piety
proceeded by water to the Falls of Ohio.”

On 12 Aug 1844, Mary also made a declaration in court as part of her application for widow’s pension
payments for Thomas’ service. Mary believed she qualified for the widow’s pension under the provisions of
Pension Acts of Congress in 1838, 1843, and 1844. Her application was denied, possibly because the 1791
Indian War referenced in her application did not qualify as “Revolutionary War” service under those Acts.

Internet sources also identify Lyken Cemetery as the burial site for Lewis’
wife Mary B (Shattuck) Paddock, although I have not located a tombstone for
her at Lyken Cemetery.

remarried Rebecca Ann Pogue on 23 Aug 1843. Lewis and Rebecca had at least seven
additional children. Lewis died 31 Mar 1872. Rebecca died in 1886 and was buried
next to Lewis.
