- Thankful Platt, b NY abt 1803, d. in Franklinville, Elgin Co., IL Feb 1858. She m. in 1821 Anthony Wayne/Waine, b 30 October 1798 either in Renselaer Co. or Otsego co., NY, d 1859, son of John Wayne/Waine and Isabella Burnside. They had four children: Harley (killed at Shiloh, bur. Marengo, IL); Celestia b. 26 January 1825 in OK, bur Miller, SD; Daniel (moved to SD) and John (fought in Civil War, taken prisoner at Shiloh and released at war's end.) Thankful may have been daughter of Daniel 6 Platt (Richard (#142-242) and Jerusha Dibble of Maryland, Otsego Co. NY. Only one son of this couple is listed, but a note says "plus 5 others". This son, Stephen7, married Nancy Burnside. Marylyn points out that there were several intermarriages between Waynes, Burnsides and Platts in the Maryland, Otsego Co., NY area, which would seem to indicate a connection.} </p><p>From what I have been able to put together from various postings from t</p><p>USGenWeb site for Otsego Co, NY <www.rootsweb.com/~nyotsego/> (kudos to their </p><p>volunteers!), their mailing list, the Platt mailing lists and comparing them </p><p>with Platt Genealogy 1963 and the Platt Family Association Newsletter, this <p>is the family for Daniel Platt and Jerusha Dibble:</p><p> </p><p>Daniel Platt, b abt 1770, Danbury, CT, d Mar 1846, Maryland, Otsego Co, NY; m </p><p>Jerusha Dibble abt 1792; Jerusha b abt 1767, d 1 Mar 1842, Maryland, Otsego </p><p>Co, NY; both buried at Platt Hollow Cemetery.

Unidentified daughter, b 1811/1815, listed on 1820 and 1830 census listing </p><p>of Daniel Platt. </p><p> </p><p>I don't have any documentation to prove that Thankful was the daught</p><p>Daniel and Jerusha. However, Daniel was son of Daniel Platt and Thankful </p><p>Benedict, so she appears to have been named for her grandmother. I have not </p>searched for a will for Daniel Platt, but doing so may prove worthwhile.
