Finis E and Francis E Sly/Sligh Pyeatt

Finis Ewing Pyeatt was born May 14, 1854, (probably at Cane Hill, Washington County,) Arkansas, to John H and Sara A Maxwell Pyeatt and died February 4, 1925. He is buried in Burkburnett, Texas. He married on May 2, 1878, Francis "Frannie" Elizabeth Sly/Sligh who was born March 1854 in Arkansas.

I did a search for Francis/Frannie on the 1860 census using her age range and sex with no matches. I also used just Sligh/Sly without finding a match.

The known children of Finis and Fannie were:
