Jacob Pyeatt 1804 - 1805 (d. Warren Co, KY)
Margaret was born in Ireland in 1760 to Rev. Andrew and Katherine Paul Finley. Jacob's brother, James Pyeatt was married to Margaret's sister, Catherine Finley. Jacob's marriage bond in Guilford County, North Carolina is for Jacob Pyeatt and Margaret Findley.
According to a manuscript of L A Colquitt (original sources not known to me) "After their apprenticeships were completed, James and Jacob Pyeatte became traders and cattle dealers, driving herds to market in Charleston. It was on these journeys that they stopped at the inn where the Finley sisters were working. Margaret and Catherine Finley, who married Jacob and James Pyeatte, were the eldest daughters of an Irish landlord of a small estate in North Ireland. As the family was large, the sisters came to America under a contract to pay steerage after arrival. Reaching Charleston, S. C., they found employment at an inn, where they met the two Pyeattes (now traders and cattle dealers), who susequently paid the balance due on their steerage, and married them. Jacob and Margaret were married the third year after they met. As will have been noted, Jacob and Catherine were united about a year later."
"Soon after their marriages the brothers took their wives to the frontier, settling for a time in what has since become Logan County, Kentucky. Accompanying them from the Carolinas were members of the Carnahan family and some others, including Buchanans, Shannons, Billingleys, Marrs, Porters, Prestons, Rankins, Drakes, and Blairs. These names are still prominent in Northwest Arkansas, and throughout the South and West. There is some evidence that his party of Carolinians remained together for more than a generation of pioneering, a large portion of which was spent under the actual, if not official, leadership of Jacob Pyeatte."
Indications are that Jacob and family moved from Warren County, Kentucky, with the family of his brother, James, in about 1812. They next settled in Crystal Hill, Pyeatt Township, Pulaski County, Arkansas. It is said that Jacob and his brother James were bell makers and that some cow bells still exist in Washington County, Arkansas, which were made by one or the other of them. Jacob and Margaret were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
