REVOLUTIONARY WAR VETERAN
SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI
Major Daniel Piatt, Sr. married Catherine Sherrerd on March 17, 1765. After marrying, he moved his family to Pluckemin, NJ. Daniel achieved the rank of Major with the 7th Company, 1st Battalion of the New Jersey Regiment. He served as president during the military trial of a soldier who was convicted of treason and hanged. He was one of five brothers who served during the Revolutionary War. Daniel Piatt also served as a major during Major General John Sullivan's 1779 Campaign against the Six Nations of Indians. During that campaign he was in Brig. General William Maxwell's 1st NJ Brigade and in Colonel Matthias Ogden's 1st. NJ Regiment. During the brutal winter of 1779-1780, General Washington sent Major Piatt on a mission to meet with the justices and people of Somerset County, NJ to implore them to provide provisions for his starving troops. Major Piatt successfully gathered 100 head of cattle along with 600 bushels of grain. During his duties he contracted pneumonia due to exposure to the elements. He died at Jockey Hollow, Morristown, NJ. on April 16, 1780. Masonic services were included in his funeral services. George Washington attended his burial. Jockey Hollow was twice the winter quarters for the Continental Army. It is now a part of Morristown National Military Park. It is most likely that he is buried in the Jockey Hollow Cemetery where more than one hundred Continental soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice for American Liberty were buried during their encampment there. According to Documents Relating to the Revolutionary History of the State of New Jersey, "On Sunday the 16th ult. died, at the camp near Morristown, after a long and painful illness, DANIEL PIATT, Esquire, Major of the first Jersey regiment; in which he had served from the first raising of the same. He was a gentleman of sound understanding, great personal bravery, with a. strong desire of excelling in his profession, which, joined to an handsome soldierly exterior, rendered him at once the good and graceful ofiicer. His death is justly lamented as a very heavy loss to the regiment." The children of Major Daniel Piatt, Sr. and Catherine Sherrerd Piatt:
