Biographical History
Zephaniah Platt (1735-1807) was born in Huntington, New York where the first five of his fourteen children were born. He married Mary Hannah Davis and Mary Van Wyck. Platt removed to Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York and served as a lawyer, judge, member of the New York Provincial Congress, delegate to the Constitutional Convention, and as a New York State Senator. Zephaniah Platt, with 32 others, was granted a patent to lands west of Lake Champlain which became Plattsburgh, Clinton County, New York. Platt settled there in 1795 and is buried in Riverside Cemetery.
Platt was a Revolutionary War soldier and first Judge of Dutchess County. He left Poughkeepsie ca. 1795 and, with several of his brothers, founded the city of Plattsburgh, N.Y.
