Biography
William Ross Pyatt, Sr
William was born in 1775 (or 1778). He passed away in 1850. His surname also recorded as Peaytt, Peatte, and Peat.
William and Mary Smith Pyatt
William Peatte/Pyatt was born about 1776. Some researchers claim he is the son of Jacob and Elizabeth Pyatt. However, the will of Jacob Pyeatt filed in Washington County, Pennsylvania, does not give a son named William. Since William was still fathering children in 1832, we know he did not precede Jacob Pyeatt in death. Therefore, I believe that the parentage of William Pyeatt born circa 1776 is still in question. James H Payett said that word handed down through the years was that he was a son of Jacob of Ohio Co, WV. Is this the same as the Jacob who was married to Elizabeth and died in Pennsylvania? He married in Augusta Co, VA, in November 1814, Mary Smith the daughter of Martin Smith born between 1794-1800. Their marriage bond appears as follows:
- Augusta County, VA, 1814 WILLIAM PEAT and JOHN MILLER are held and firmly bound...this 17th day of November 1814...[marriage] to be solemnized between the above bound WILLIAM PEATT & MARY SMITH, daughter of MARTIN SMITH decd? of Augusta Co...
- Augusta County, VA, 1814 WILLIAM PEAT and JOHN MILLER are held and firmly bound...this 17th day of November 1814...[marriage] to be solemnized between the above bound WILLIAM PEATT & MARY SMITH, daughter of MARTIN SMITH decd? of Augusta Co...
Could this have been a second marriage? William would have been 40 fathering his first child, if it was his first marriage.
Children of William Pyatt and Mary Smith
The 1820 census for Augusta Co, Virginia, page 14A, shows William aged 45+; one female 16-26; 2 males 0-10 and 1 female 1-10. Could the age difference between the adults indicate that this was a second marriage for William? It would seem that if it was, he would have had other children born before 1816.
