This abstract was from familysearch.org; page 334C. If the census were searched, I'm sure grown daughters could be found nearby. Jackson's son, Madison C Pyatt, and family lived on pg 307B in Jackson Township. I find it strange that the youngest son was born in Missouri. Did the family live there for a short period of time? They were not likely to make a visit with a lady close to her due date.
