Myrtle Pyatt sent me pages from a manuscript that looks like it might have come from a county genealogical society. Across the top is hand-written 'Families of Boss Cemetery, Dent County, MO'. Here are extracts related to this family starting pg 76:

I received this email and cannot quite figure out where it fits in as the Thomas Marion Pyatt above does not have a brother Daniel Franklin Pyatt. There is a Daniel Franklin Pyatt who was married to Sally Strickland who was the son of John and Mary Tinker Pyatt. That Daniel had a brother whom I have listed as Thomas Jefferson Pyatt, not Thomas Marion Pyatt:

This man is my cousin:

His father, Daniel Franklin Pyatt, and my grandfather, Thomas Marion Pyatt, were brothers.

This man is Bucky's brother:

This man is my brother: I am Dennis Wayne Pyatt. My parents live in Festus. I am tracing my family tree. We are the PYATT's from Boss, MO. I would be happy to share any info with you but I think my family is not the same as yours.
