Martha S Pyeatt Crawford and Phillip Gregory
Martha S Pyeatt was born 1828 in Washington County, Arkansas to Peter Paulus Pyeatt and Lavina Cox and died 1893 in Bell County, Texas. Mary married first on May 15, 1851, in Washington County, Arkansas, Andrew B Crawford. Andrew died before 1870.
Andrew and Martha had the following known children:
- James T Crawford b: 1857 AR d: 1934 (buried Pleasant View Cemetery, Bell Co, TX) m: bef 1880 Minnie A ? b: 1860 GA d: 1927 (buried Pleasant View Cemetery, Bell Co, TX)
- John Crawford b: c1860 Cane Hill, Washington Co, AR
- William A Crawford b: c1864 AR
Two other Crawford's buried near Martha in Pleasant View Cemetery are Andrew Crawford 1891-1892 and Maggie A Crawford 1886-1900. These are probably her grandchildren.

This family was enumerated #?583/21 on pg 84. Other neighbors were Marcus Buckhammon, Lucinda Moore, Jane Crumm, John Pool, Lucy Pool, Ab Buchannon, James Gunter, and John Pinkin. I do not know if William Simpson is a relative or just a boarder of some type.
Before 1870 Mary remarried to Phillip Gregory who was born c1820 in Virginia. Phillip died sometime after 1880, probably in Bell County, Texas. Martha is buried in the Pleasant View Cemetery, Bell County, Texas.

How is George L Gregory related to Phillip? George's wife, Sarah, is Martha's younger sister. George lists father born in Virginia and mother born in Tennessee as do other of Phillip's children. Nancy Stout is also a sister to Martha and Sarah. Their nephew, Caswell G Hodges is the son of their sister, Mary Pyeatt Hodges. Living in Precinct 6 of Bell County, Texas were Andrew and Miranda J Tennant Pyeatt with five of their children.
