He was said to be accompanied by his father, Jacob PYEATT. His petition for a Spanish land grant was presented by John RICHARDSON and he was a long-time friend/neighbor of the HILDEBRAND/HELTERBRAND families. He was on Big River in the Meramac area near House Springs and lived "at the Fort" when they experienced Indian troubles. Many of John's children and grandchildren stayed in Jefferson County. His children married into the HILDEBRAND, McCLURE, VOTAW, PRUITT, GREEN and SMITH families. Others of his children/grandchildren migrated to Stone, St. Louis, Ste.
