Subject: [PIATT] First installment...New St Louis records

I spent 2 1/2 days in St. Louis looking for Piatts/Pyeatts and will be
adding the info to my website by category. I have several deed abstracts,
probate connects, death records, etc. I was unable to come up with marriage
records that I had expected to find....only one new one.... It has made me
decide that my John Piatt and his children traveled out of the St. Louis
area to marry. The deed given below is from 1805, and in it, John Piatt
appears to be single (no widow's dower considered). However, he had heirs
born before and after 1805. So, if my understanding of the land laws is
correct, he must have been married at least twice with the second occurring
after 1805. Does anyone have any suggestions to where a St. Louis area
Piatt/Pyeatt family would have traveled to marry? Thanks, Marianne
