Elise - It gets even stranger: in 1815 John Pyeatte, s/o (Maj.) Jacob and Margaret Finley Pyeatte, married Martha (Patsy) Carnahan, sister of Sam'l. Carnahan (who had wed Mary Pyeatte, d/o Maj. Jacob and Margaret Fiinley Pyeatte). John died in 1823, whereupon Martha married Andrew F. Pyeatte, John's brother. Andrew died in 1837, and Martha Carnahan Pyeatte married Jeff Cabe (marriage #3 for Martha). After Martha's death, Jeff Cabe married Margaret Pyeatt (the widw Pierce). Then, we have Finis Ewing Pyeatt and his sister, Paulina (s/o,d/o John and Martha Carnahan) marrying Eizabeth Maxwell and Edley Maxwell (her bother) respectively, in a double ceremony in 1836, Arkansas. There may be more, but that's it from the accounts that I have at hand. Reading back over this, it looks kinda' tangled - I hope you can navigate your way through it. It may help to draw it out in a diagram. Good luck, and happy hunting. . . Ed
