Marshall and Jane Pyeatt Sledd

Jane Pyeatt was born in Missouri in 1819. She might have been the daughter of Jacob and Olivia Pyeatt. She married Marshall Sledd who was born in 1819 in Virginia.

The children of Marshall and Jane:

The family appeared as follows on the 1850 census of Meramac Township, St Louis Co, MO:

This family was enumerated Sept 1850 at #1583/1613. Their neighbors were #1584 Jacob Hamilton, #1585 Bartholomew Chesser, #1586 William Keller, #1587 David Keller, #1588 John Gutermutt, #1589 George Guttermutt, #1590 John Gutermutt.

On the 1860 census the family appeared as follows in Fenton, Meramec Twp, St. Louis County, MO:

This family was enumerated #756/732 26th July 1860 pg 998B (ancestry image 20/52); neighbors were #747 John Potterfield, #748 Marion Bittick, #749 Julius Young; #750 John S Gano?, #751 Lorenzo D Votaw, #752 Henry Buckstatt, #753 Louise Brinkley, #754 Jacob Reed, #755 Ignace Augustin?, #757 Elisha Pyeatt, #758 Jacob Fisher, #759 JOhn Adams, #760 Jacob Block, #761 Isaac Brooks, #762 Dwight Hill, #763 Jeremiah Cookley, #764 Michael Welsh, #765 John Fleming.

On the 1870 census they were in Melrose PO, Meramac Township in St Louis Co, MO:

This family was enumerated #146/147 Melrose PO Meramec Twp (ancestry pg 37/96)). Eliza was Marion's wife. Searches for Mary/Maria and Matilda J turned up no likley matches in Meramac Township.

This family appeared as follows on the 1880 census of St Louis Co, Meramec Twp, MO:

This family was enumerated 8th & 9th Jun 1880 pg 16 ED 187 Meramec Twp. Their next door neighbor, #137/139 was Isaac Hetterbrand (thought to be the son of Nancy Pyeatt and Isaac Hildebrand. Other neighbors were #133 Josephine Desmonds, #134 Joseph Buscher, #135 William Maxwell, #136 George Renneberg, #139 Adophus Bruce, #140 Samuel Spears, #141 Alexander Smith). Their son, Marion, was in Linn Township, Cedar County, Missouri. Here is the enumeration of their daughter living nearby in Meramec Township:

Adolphus Bruce's family eventually ended up in Pacific, Boles Township, Franklin County, Missouri. This is the same place that Jane Pyeatt Sledd's brother, Elisha Pyeatt lived. It is also thought Elisha's wife, Francis Bohle was the daughter of Benjamin Boley and Evelina Sledd (who was the sister of Marshall and Wilson Sledd).

I would assume that both Marshall and Jane were dead by the 1900 census. Their son, Marion Sledd, and family were enumerated in Linn Township, Cedar County, Missouri. I need to locate the rest of this family. Attempts to locate Louisa on the 1900 census turned up no likely matches.

Marshall's daughter's death certificate gave the following information: Malida Bruce born Oct 1849 MO; died 11 Mar 1914 Pacific, Boles Twp, Franklin Co, MO age 65 yrs; white married female; father Marchel Sledd born VA; mother ____ Pyatt born MO; informant Adolphus Bruce of Pacific, MO; buried Pacific City Cemetery, Pacific, Franklin Co, MO
