                                 1 UNKNOWN (1) LATTA
Born about 1652. At the time of the battle of the Boyne, July 12, 1690, he lived near Donegal, Ireland. Was a man of Wealth. He was a Protestant, but had Catholic cowboys. When Catholic King James II, defeated, hungry, army passed through that part of the country, the cowboys drove all the live stock into the mountains. When the army had passed they drove the live stock back again. I do not know his name, but was told he was my ancestor. He was Scotch or Scotch descent. Say his grandson, 3 Moses (3) Latta, was 25 years of age when his son 5 William (4) Latta was born in 1730, and allow one year for birth of William, then 3 Moses (3) Latta would be born about 1704.
William H. Latta, family No. 90 suggests: that if 1 UNKNOWN (1) Latta was born in 1652,
allow 26 years for birth of his father, would make him born in 1626. Then allow 26 years for birth of his father in Scotland, would make him born in 1600. Allow 26 years for his father, would make him born in 1574, the immigrant from Scotland to Ireland. This is all supposition, but interesting.

14 Mar 65 The Scioto Gazette, Corp J. W. Johnson and Private W. N. Latta, Co. H, Obituary OBITUARY - In the Gazette of the issue of February 28th, I read a most interesting letter written by Mr. James Wolf, of Bourneville, Ohio. In the letter reference was made to W. N. Latta, and John W. Johnson, who were with him in his intense sufferings.  W. N. Latta was a son of Moses and Elisabeth Latta, resided near Lattaville. Feeling the emotions of patriotism in his breast, W. N. Latta enlisted in his country’s service. At the fierce and bloody battle of Chickamauga he was captured and as a prisoner borne of to Richmond, Virginia, where for some time he felt the horrors of prison-life, after which he was removed to Danville, and from there to Andersonville, where, on the 9th day of August, 1864, in the 26th year of his age, he departed this life. Mr. Latta obtained the reputation of a good soldier, faithful in all the duties assigned him to perform. For about nine years he was a faithful member of the M. E. Church, discharging all the obligations of the church of his choice. (He is also listed on the soldiers who died at Andersonville, Georgia. - 4 May 65 The Highland News, Names of Ohio Soldiers Died in Andersonville - Names of Ohio Soldiers who Died at Andersonville, Georgia. Mr. Solon Hyde, of Rushville, Ohio, has sent the Cincinnati Commercial a list of names of Ohio soldiers, who died at Andersonville, Geo., from February, 1864, to February 1st, 1865. The list is published in that paper of Saturday last. We copy from it the names of all belonging to regiments in which we know there were men from this county and vicinity. - Wm. H. Latta.

Craig, remained at home until a young man, attending subscription school in winter and working out by the month in summer.  So matters went, along until his marriage to Elizabeth J. Latta, which occurred on March 30, 1848.  Their first venture was on a farm now owned by S. Rosebaun, where they lived a year and then went to the old Craig homestead in Twin Township.  Here they remained until 187__, when Mr. Craig bought the farm of 133 acres, where his widow still lives in Concord Township. ....."

LATTA, Alexander Bonnet, inventor, born in Ross county, Ohio, 11 June, 1821; died in Ludlow, Kentucky, 28 April, 1865. At an early age he worked in a cotton-factory, and subsequently in the navy yard in Washington, D.C. After becoming an expert mechanic he settled in Cincinnati, where he operated the first iron planing-machine that ever was used in that city. He became foreman of a ma-chine-shop, and constructed for the Little Miami railroad the first locomotive that was built west of the Alleghany mountains, he invented and patented a series of improvements in railway appliances, a few of which he succeeded in introducing. In 1852 he invented a steam fire-engine, which he constructed in nine months, and which was tried on 1 January, 1853. In October, 1853, he con-strutted a second, which contained several improvements and received a gold medal at the Ohio Mechanics' institute fair in 1854. He continued to build steam fire-engines until 1862, when he retired from active business. The boiler of Mr. Latta's engine was constructed of two square chambers, one within the other, the space between which chambers was the steam and water space of the boiler. The inner chamber, which was the fire-box, was filled by a series of horizontal layers of tubes arranged diagonally over each other, but forming one continuous coil. The water entered this coil at the lower end and passed upward into the annular space, where it was evaporated. Upon arriving at the scene of the fire, the rear of the engine was raised off the ground and supported by means of screws on the sides of the boiler, and the hind-wheels, thus clearing the ground, acted as fly-wheels. In 1863-'5 Mr. Latta introduced the manufacture of aerated bread into Cincinnati. He also made improvements in oil-well machinery.  Children:
