Marianne and Listers-- This Pyeatt spelling I have seen on the Dawes Roll or the Guion Miller Roll (displaced Cherokees) many years ago. I never followed up on the name because at the time I didn't think it was a connection to my direct line and I had no earthly idea how to research native americans. I can tell you too that most of the West Virginia Pyatt's are P-y Pyatts and sometimes census takers spelled it Pyeatt because that's the way it sounds pye--att Just my random thoughts, Robin Marianne Pyeatt wrote: > I received today the death certificate of William D(udley) Pyeatt who died > March 4, 1912 in Plattin Twp, Jefferson Co, MO.
