Charles E and and Mary E 'Molly' Pyeatt Nanny
Mary E "Molly" Pyeatt was born April 6, 1876 in Rio Vista, Johnson County, Texas to John H and Sara A Maxwell Pyeatt and died November 20, 1932, in Rio Vista, Johnson County, Texas. She married on December 13, 1899, (probably in Johnson County, Texas) Charles E Nanny who was born October 27, 1872 in Dallas County, Texas, and who died June 22, 1956 in Rio Vista, Johnson County, Texas. Charles and Molly are buried in the Rio Vista Cemetery, Rio Vista, Johnson County, Texas.

I could not locate the Charles Nanny family on the 1900 census using every type of search that I know about.
On the 1910 census I find the family in Precinct 2 of Johnson County, Texas, as follows:
- Nannie, Charles E age 37 born TX / mwm / married1 for 10 yrs / father born IL/mother born KY
- Nannie, Mollie E (wife) age 34 born TX / mwf / married1 for 10 yrs / 3 children/3 living / father/mother born AR
- Nannie, Clyde G (son) age 9 born TX / swm / father/mother born TX
- Nannie, Eva M (daughter) age 7 born TX / swf / father/mother born TX
- Nannie, Alline L (daughter) age 3 born TX / swf / father/mother born TX
This family was enumerated #9/10 on pg 177. On that same page was Molly's nephew, Leonard E Pyeatt. Also in Precinct 2 were her brothers: Benjamin A Pyeatt (pg 177b), James F Pyeatt (pg 177b), Edward Pyeatt (pg 198) along with their nephew, John Solomon Pyeatt (pg 198). Other siblings lived in other Texas counties or had moved out of state. Neighbors were Ben Stepp, Jim Cooper, Ada Jenkins, Joseph ?Treis???, Lenard E Pyeatt, R O Bennett, James Hill, McDaniel Hall, Jor? Sa??well, ? Stanly, and Willie Hall.
The 1920 census of Precinct 1, Johnson County, Texas, is extremely faint and difficult to read. I abstracted Charles' family as follows:
- Nanny, Charles E age 47 born TX / mwm / father born IL/mother born KY
- Nanny, Mollie E (wife) age 44 born TX / mwf / father/mother born AR
- Nanny, Clyde (son) age 19 born TX / swm / father/mother born TX
- Nanny, ???? M (daughter) age 17 born TX / swf / father/mother born TX
- Nanny, ????? (daughter) age 13 born TX / swf / father/mother born TX
This family enumerated #123/124 Old Alvarado Road pg 24. I won't strain my eyes to try to make out the names of neighbors.
