Pierre Mayette or Peter Meyett

After doing research on Margaret "Zap-Pa" Lahoe, I thought I would try to find Pierre Mayette in the 1870 US Census for Sweetwater County, Wyoming Territory.

I found a Peter Meyett in Bryan (I didn't know existed), Wyoming in 1870. I checked Google Maps and found Bryan, WY north of Interstate 80 between Little American and Green River. Bryan, WY even has a 82935 zip code. Wow!

Back to the task at hand.... Peter Meyett in Bryan, WY in 1870 was the age of 37 and had a birth place listed as Canada which his birthdate would be 1833.

Is this the ancestor I've been looking for? The name "Pierre" is the French name for "Peter". The pronunciation of "Meyett" sounds more like the name I have heard growing up.

I Googled "Peter Meyett" and found a "Peter Meyett" buried in Bath National Cemetery, Bath, Steuben County, New York listed as "Meyett, Peter, d. 02/03/1920, Plot: H 12 15, bur. 02/03/1920".

Thanks to Interment.net Cemetery Records Online.

In my Google results, I also found this "Peter Meyett" died at the age of 85, February 3, 1920 in the New York State Soldiers' and Sailors' Home of chronic myocarditis. This "Peter Meyett" served in the company and regiment E, 16 N. Y. Infantry.

Thanks to the result on Google Books.

Another search result took me to Archives.com. I registered for the free 7-day trial and found that this soldier had served in the Civil War. There was another record for a "Peter Mayett" that was born in the area of Independence (KS?).

Kansas - Canada. It sounds close.

Did the Bryan, Wyoming 1870 Census enumerator hear incorrectly?

Is this the Peter Meyett I'm looking for? Further research may tell.
