 Jacob Pyeatt became a river ferry operator. (His brother made his living as a farmer.) At first Pyeatt used a large skiff to transport passengers across the [[Arkansas River]]. Horses swam alongside the boat on the downstream side. Carriages were dismantled and carried across the river in pieces. He later acquired a larger boat that was capable of transporting both horse teams and wagons. According to Reverend Carnahan, "This boat had a drop leaf at each end and a walkway on each side. When ready to start, men on these walkways with long push poles, went upstream, staying close to the bank. When at a proper distance, the push poles were laid aside and the men, one at each end with oars, gave the boat the proper angle against the current, reached the opposite landing."
-Pyeatt moved to [[Cadron Settlement]] in 1815 with his wife Margaret Finley, a north Irish immigrant he met at a inn in Charleston, S.C. She died in 1822. Pyeatt was the [[Pulaski County coroner]] from 1818 to 1821.
