The grandfather entered a tract of government land about two miles south of the present village of McCredie, and there he reclaimed a farm from the wilderness. He was a wheelwright by trade and as such found much requisition for his services in addition to supervising the work of his farm. He owned about three hundred acres of land and continued to reside on his homestead until his death, about the year 1853, his wife surviving him by several years. Their home was know for its hospitality and there entertainment was accorded to the itinerant pioneer clergymen, who frequently preached to the settlers who gathered there. Both Peter Houf and his wife were most devout members of the Methodist church and they lived "godly, righteous and sober lives," doing well their part as workers for the development of the county in which they thus early established their home. Of their fourteen children ten lived to rear families of their own, and many representatives of the name are still to be found in this section of the state.

The following was written by Gerald Brown a Hyatt researcher, who lives in Asheville, NC. Hyatt Family Genealogy *A Grievous Error* -- According to some writers, there is an old Hyatt family tradition that the Edward Gaither Hyatt who was the original Hyatt resident of Haywood County, North Carolina was one of five or seven brothers who came to America from England soemtime before the Revolutionary War. This story has appeared in at least two books about the fore-mentioned Haywood county. One of these books is "The Annals of Haywood County" written by William Allen, and the other is a "History of Haywood County", by Clark Medford. This information has been read and accepted by many Hyatt family members and by other intreseted parties. Unfortunately, It is not true. The Hyatt family in America begins with the arrival of a Charles and Mary Preston Hyatt who were born in England about 1600, married in 1619 and came to America in about 1634. It is known that they probably had several children, including one named Peter. Charles and Mary Hyatt settled in Virginia and raised their family there. There are very few records concerning them, so not much is known about them. Peter Hyatt appeared in the Virginia records as late as 1697, when he is listed as a witness to the will of John Washington, son of the emigrant John Washington, and brother of Lawrence Washington, who was am ancestor of President George Washington. This will was proved and probated 23 February 1697 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. In 1660, Charles Hyatt of Maryland was born, probably in Virginia, but was in Maryland in 1694, when his son Seth was born. He married circa 1693, a woman named Sarah (last name unknown, but thought by many to be Tewksbury.) Charles and Sarah had several children, but not much is known about them. Charles Hyatt died ca. 1762, as his estate was settled in htis year by his widow. It is thought by some that the father of this Charles was the Peter mentioned previously because of the fact that Charles and Sarah named one ot their sons Peter. At this time, unfortunately, there is no documentary proff of this, so we will have to consider Charles Hyatt as the first proven ancestor of the Hyatts of Western North Carolina. The children of Charles and Sarah Hyatt were; 1. Seth, 2. Susannah, 3. Ann, died young, 4. Ann, died young, 5. Peter, 6. Ann, who survived to adulthood, 7. Elizabeth, 8. Penelope and 9. William. Seth Hyatt, son of Charles and Sarah, married Alice (last name un-known, thought by many to be Duvall) and had several children; 1. Seth Hyatt,Jr., 2. Avarilla, 3. Shadrack, 4. Meshak, 5. Abednego and 6. Naomi. As far as this writer knows, this is the first time the names Shadrack, Meshack, and Adednego were used in the Hyatt family. It is a tradition which continued for some tow hundred years and has caused some amount of difficulty for Hyatt researchers, as there were often several Hyatts by the same names in the same generation with approximately the same birth and death dates, which can saude some problems in deciding who was the son of whom.spouse: Preston, Mary (<1605 - )
