He was the son of Zephaniah Platt and Mary Van Wyck Platt (1743–1809).
On October 4, 1803, he married Sarah Bleecker at the Dutch Reformed Church in Albany, New York, and they had six children.
He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Oneida Co.) in 1807, and as a Federalist, was New York State Treasurer from 1813 to 1817.

Notes
- ↑ The Town of Greenbush was divided in 1855 into the towns of Clinton (since 1858 East Greenbush), and North Greenbush. It is unclear in which part Platt died.
