When they received title in 1735, everything from the crest of the Blue Ridge to as far west as the British had or claimed control was Orange County.

Descendants of John HIATT Jr. FIRST GENERATION 1 John HIATT Jr. (ID:2) b. abt 1696 in Eng; d. between 26 Oct. 1764 and 4Dec. 1764 in Frederick Co., VA; bur. in Frederick Co., VA.

John HIATT, Jr. first appears on the records of Lancaster County,PA. on 25 April 1733 when he received warrant number 5 to 200 acres ofland situated on Beaver Creek. He apparently did not comply with the conditions of the warrant, for the land declared vacated and regranted in1744. George HIATT, brother of John Jr. also held land in LancasterCounty that he sold before moving to Frederick County, Maryland where hewas associated with Pipes Creek Meeting. The three HIATT brothers, John Jr. George and William, eventually were living near Hopewell in Frederick County, VA. Even though John Jr. and George owned land in Lancaster County in PA, it appears that their real base of operations was in the Elk County area prior to the move southward. About 1733 seventy families settled in what became Frederick County, VA. Here they founded Hopewell Meeting. Thirty-six patents havebeen found for thirty-four of these families. All patents dated 12 Nov.1735. John HIATT Jr. was granted 300 acres. He purchased 200 acres more in 1738.

The HIATT's settled at the head of a branch of Opeckon Creeknear the present day village of Middleway, northeast of Winchester. This location was in Orange County, VA. in 1734, Frederick County in 1738, Berkeley County in 1772, Jefferson County in 1801. Today Berkeley and Jefferson Counties still exist but they are part of W. VA. The HIATT's remained there about twenty years. In 1757 the HIATT's moved to Rowan (now Guilford) County, NC, although John Jr. did not sell the land in Virginia. He bought 640 acreson the south fork of Deep River and built a mill. Some maps show HIATT Creek flowing into Deep River. Hiatt's Creek (Run) a tributary of North River, still bears his name. This land fell in Guilford County when it was formed in 1772.

John Jr. purchased land at North River Mills. In 1760 John Jr. deeded this land to three sons by Rachel Wilson, Joseph, George and John and returned to Virginia. This time he settled in Hampshire County on a plantation of 659 acres purchased from his son, George. Shortly before his death, John HIATT Jr. returned to Frederick County, VA.

John HIATT Jr. will was written and probated. An old pioneerstory in a paper stated, "Scouts brot news that there was a body of Indians coming toward the fort on Capon and HIATT gathered his family and started in the night. He took quinsy and died that winter. John HIATT left a will naming all of his children except Phebe who was born after his death. It was dated 3 Jan. 1764 and probated 4 Dec. 1764. His sixteenth child was born posthumously. His oldest child would have been forty-two years of age when John died.
