Leander Pyatte, b 1826 or 1827, oldest son of Joseph, Jr., and granson of Joseph Pyatte, Sr., a Revolutionary war soldier, was reared on a farm near Spear, North Carolina, where Joseph, Jr. and his wife Jane lived and where they are buried in the Dick Wisean Cemetery on Pyatte's Creek. It
is interesting to note that Leander, about whom the least is known and whose grave has never been identified, is the one who gave the most fame to the name Pyatte. It was for him the settlement (town) of Pyatte, N.C. was named and a post office established. The community is still identirfied by that name. (See Pyatt family of Western North Carolina by
Martha Pyatte.)

Leander died in the Civil War; he was suffering from a fever.
p 222:
Many efforts have been made to locate the grave of Leander, but thus far without success. Stories handed down are at variance causing difficulty
in narrowing the search. Jane's children thought he was buried in Tennessee; another, Indiana; still others, Alabama or Georgia. It is not even agred which side he fought on. It is certain that he was taken against his will as he had been hiding out in Pyatte's laurels when he
slipped in one night to repair the children's shoes. Soldiers who were watching the house took him by force. He told Tilda that he would not live long as he was suffering from fever.
His homeplace marker was placed in remembrance June of 1978 before the Pyatte reunion.
