Ok bear with me for a moment... There were two John Pyatt's in Jackson County in the 1800's. Both lived in or near Cuba and both were married to women named Mary. Both Johns and one Mary are buried out Trace Fork. (Betty B--this is in reference to family # F5408 in your WV Pioneers database You have them crossed -- as do many others!!!) Family 1- John Piatt Born Monroe Co, Ohio 1842 died 1896 or 1897 in Jackson County WV Mary Truax Piatt Born Ohio--I have some information on this family if anyone is interested Family 2- John Pyatt Born Nicholas County VA 1840 Mary Snider Pyatt born 1845 Jackson County Va--have lots on this family as it's my line. John of Ohio and Mary of VA are buried near each other in the Mount Hope Cemetery on Trace Fork. John of Virginia is buried away from those two and has no stone. In government documents the name Pyatt could be spelled about 12 different ways--or even a Pratt or Peet. Once I even saw Peepyat! Mary Truax Piatt is buried in Monroe Co, OH So what I need to find is a death date (and ultimately a death certificate--wishful thinking) for the John Pyatt who was born in Nicholas County. Of further interest is that between these two men they fathered 25 children--and each of them had a Sarah. If there is any kind soul who could find me death information on John who was born in Nicholas County I would certainly appreciate it. Robin Pyatt Bellamy transplanted to Canada....

Robin, all I can say is 'Yikes!' You're right - crossed is probably a very polite word for what I have. I have the wrong John married to the right Mary for the one child I have but the right John (father) for the other child! I can't seem to find John and Mary (Snyder) in 1880, so I have only 5 of their 13 children. . . and poor Albert who belongs to the other John and Mary. Have you found John's parents in any of the censuses? I think I found him and his brother William in 1860. You say you know where the 2 Johns are buried - are there no stones with the death info? I like a good hunt, but this is definitely a doozy! Maybe a don't-zee!

In the Jackson County death records there is listed a John Piatt of Cuba listed as dying 2/13/1896. No John Pyatt listed.

Thanks Betty, for resurecting this! I will see if I can straighten it a bit for you. Buried at Trace Fork is John Pyatt b 1842 in Monroe Co, OH His parents were Jacob and Elisabeth (Allen) Piatt of the Woodsfield, OH Piatts He married Mary Truax b 1843 Oh, daughter of Isaac and Rebecca (Whitlatch) Truax.

John S Pyatt b 1840 in Nicholas County. HIs parents were (legally) William Pyatt and Mary Smith. DNA of this family shows that John S did not have a Pyatt father, and we are not sure of his parentage. Willam's father has not been found yet, but we do know that Mary Smith was his second wife. William Pyatt of Jackson and Mason Counties was John's brother as was George Peyatt of Jackson and Putnam Counties. Father William died in 1850 and was at least 60 years old. John, William, and George all married women by the last name of Snyder, children of Thomas and Elizabeth (Buttler) Snyder of Jackson and Mason Counties in WV. Mrs. John S Pyatt, Mary Snyder, is buried at Mount Hope. Children of John S and Mary : Sarah b 1865 married Ephriam Parsons Emmazetta b 1867 married Jonas Richards Anna Louisianna b 1869 married George Snyder Louisa J b 1871 Edward William b 1873 married Amy Harriet Throckmorton Nathan Alexander b 1875 married Fannie Morgan Rhoda Lee b 1877 Maggie M b 1878 Margaret b 1879 married Ezra Taylor Roxie b 1880 married George Collins and a Schwartz Nora Etta b 1882 married Jesse Morgan Mettie Bell b 1883 married Frank Lawlor John Francis "Grover" b 1885 married Georgia Parrish Edward William fathered Carl Edward, who had Ernest Edward who had Robert Lee Pyatt who is my father.
