Census (family)
In 1790, this first Federal census (See page 6, this volume -- editor),George Hiatt, Guilford Co., , North Carolina, was listed with 2 males over
16 years of age -- including Heads of Families -- and three females. Besides George and Martha, it is believed that they had with them the three
youngest children of their son John Hiatt (d. 1767), Martha, Susannah and
Jonathan Hiatt - Martha and Susannah are named in George's will. On the
original census records George is listed next to William Hiatt, who was his son. [1]
Note, 1790 Census, Ancestry.com: Which one of the George Hiatt people is the correct one? It could be either one.
1. I would say it is probably the one in Image 289 where he is next to the William Hiatt which could either be his son or his brother.
2. I could also be Image 288 since in 1790 he and Martha were quite old and might be alone in the household. [2]

When George Hiatt wrote his will on the 2nd. of January 1793, at the approximate age of 95, at least 4 of his 11 children were dead. Of three
of his daughters not the slightest mention is made in his will. His
daughters Ruth and Ursula are named in the will, and his son William is
named as as executor. Of his son Joseph, who is known to have been living, there is no mention. This is one of the many instances where, for
some reason, all children are not listed in a Will, and it cannot be assumed that in such instances the unlisted children were deceased or that they never existed. [1, page 51]
