This will lists no wife, sons Abraham Morlatt and Richard Morlatt, daughter Jane Bodine and natural grand-daughter Elizabeth, and is filed in the Berkeley County Will Book 4, Page 338.

On 26 May 1826 while living in Wayne County, Indiana, Abraham Marlatt declared in a pension application for John Bodine, husband of his sister, Jane Marlatt, that he had known John Bodine of Warren County, Ohio, formerly of Berkeley County, Virginia, since about 1782. Bodine was in the company of Capt. Bern [?] in the corps of Col. Arming. They were discharged at the same time at York, Pa., in the fall of 1783 and returned to Virginia in company. John Bodine had married Abraham's sister Jane. (See Revolutionary Pension application of John Bodine)

********************
Between 1820 and 1823 Joseph Cownover moves his family from Berkeley County Virginia to Wayne County Indiana. A record found pertaining to a Pension Claim for John Bodine, husband of Jane Marlatt, on 6 April 1823: "Wayne Co., Indiana Joseph Cownover declares he was brought up in Berkeley Co., Va., and resided there nine years after he arrived at the age of maturity. Joseph Granthan was considered to be in affluent circumstances but in 1821 his circumstances began to be considered precarious and soon after he was considred to be insolvent. Cownover left Virginia in Oct. 1826."

From Bill Marlatt, , rec'd Dec 2000: There are several Abraham Marlatts living at the same time. It has been difficult sorting out who was the father of Jane. For example, was it Abraham (b. 30 Dec 1732, NJ (Father: George Marlatt, Mother: Rizpah Runyan) or Abraham, son of Derck?
