Johannah Hyatt¹

Birth*	Johannah, daughter of John Hyatt and Catherine King, was born circa 1750, guesstimate based on a son over 18 in the 1782 Census. She was born 'by the late 1760's or before' according to King.3,4
Marriage*	She married Isaac Vandegrift, son of Leonard Vandegrift and Mary Jeton, before 1765. Johanna was Isaac's second cousin.3,4
CensusNF2	Johannah is probably the female over 18 listed in the household of her husband, Isaac Vandegrift, in the 1782 Census of Saint Georges Hundred, New Castle Co., Delaware.3
Death*	Johannah died before 23 January 1798 in New Castle Co., Delaware. King refs NCC, DE Orphan Court Book I-1, p. 12, for a date of 'before 20 May 1800'. The fact that she is not mentioned in her mother's will of 23 Jan 1798 suggests that as a more accurate date.5,6
Estate-Probate*	Johannah's will was probated at New Castle Co., Delaware, on 22 August 1811. King references NCC, DE Orphan Court Book K-1, p. 13; he writes, "the estate...was ordered settled after a survey of her land... Her son-in-law Abraham Vandegrift requested this action on behalf of Johannah's 4 children".4

Birth*	Ann, daughter of Francois "Francis" King Sr. and Christian Vandegrift, was born between 1737 and 1742. Tatnall records death at age 51 years, but it reads more like 56 years to me. Find A Grave claims 1730 which I have a hard time making sense of.4,3,5
