I am SOOOOO excited. I was reviewing the estate papers from the estate of John Piatt who died in Jefferson County, MO, cDec 1827. It is about 55 pages of receipts, accountings, bonds, etc. Anyway, I noticed that when the add was placed in the St Louis Times in 1832 for the final settlement that it read "Received of Benjamin Pyeatt by the hands of WILLIAMS INKS four dollars". Now, I kept staring at the name 'Inks' as it looked really familiar - like I had studied it recently and it dawned on me - that my Julie/Juke/Julic/etc that I emailed about a few days ago (Olive Juke' as mother of William D Pyeatt on his death certificate) could be INKS!!!! So, now, what does anyone know about William Inks in Jefferson County (and his connection to Olivia McClure Pyeatt) or a PYEATT/INKS connection elsewhere. Thanks!!
