According to the 1850 census of Nicholas County, Virginia, there was a George Peatt (listed as a farmer) living with John and Nancy Kyle, in dwelling #270, while likely brothers William, Andrew, Dianah and John lived with their mother, Margaret (ie. Mary Margaret Smith Pyatt) in dwelling #573. George was 15 years old which makes him the right age to be the son of William and Mary and the right age to be George W Peyatt of this page.
