Tex Myatt's Post

This a continuation of the conversations (BLOG entries) of Tom Myatt and Bob Williams.

In the 1860 census for W.A. Myatt and Amelia Harrison Rand there was a J.Walter Myatt. We show him as John Walter Myatt in our Website. I would assume this is the Walter Myatt for whom the street is named.


In the 1880 census J.Walter appears in Panther Lake, Wake Co., NC. married to a Bettie, and with two daughters, Anna and Eether.


He does not appear in the 1900 census. However, in the 1910 census he appears as Walter J. Myatt in the Cleveland Twp, Johnston, NC, with his daughter Anna, and sons Reuben (26), James (23), John (20) Walton (16).


All of these entries show that he was born in 1847/1848 or thereabouts. If someone could check this out we could add all of this to our Website.

After re-reading my message I decided it was not too clear. Walter Myatt,if I am correct, was the older brother of Amelia and Mary P. Myatt, the Myatt girls who married the Smith brothers. That is the relationship between Walter Myatt and the Smith/Myatt cemetery.
