Sorry I dont have any pictures. Henry Porter Pyeatt and his brother John Rankin Pyeatt joined the Forty-niners in the quest for gold in California. Henry Porter drowned in 1850 attempting to run the rapids on the American River. Their party had discovered gold in the bed of the river and dug a ditch and was building a dam to clear the river bed. They were in need of a boat and had constructed several in the mountains above the river, but none of them made it through the rapids undamaged. Henry Porter attempted to guide the boat through the rapids, but was drowned. His body was never found. His wife was Scye Icyphena Carnahan. I have some information on their kids but not much more.

If possible, I too would appreciate a copy of Williams gravestone. May wife and I just visited Washington County, AR in June - but there was not enough time to visit the Bethlehem Cemetery. I would like to share research - my information on Williams family is sketchy. I did however obtain a copy of his marriage record while in Fayetteville.
