Yes, if your relatives are from Cane Hill, then here is the story of how the e was added on.
My great aunt Bess Pyeatt, read the family history that listed several variations on the name that came out in the 1920s. We owned the Pyeatt funeral home at the time. Our competitor's funeral home was Wasson's. Pyeatte is a letter longer. :) So from then on we spelled the name Pyeatte after Bess changed the spelling to Pyeatte. To this day the burial insurance is still spelled Pyeatt as Dad felt that it was too much trouble to change the name.
if you are ever in Prairie Grove, AR, the Pyeatte family plot is toward the North East corner of the cemetery with a large stone with the name Pyeatte. Ralph Edward Pyeatte, Bert Pyeatte, Jesse Eugene Pyeatte and several other relatives went in together to purchase the stone which was intended to be used by all of us so that we wouldn't have to buy stones of our own other than simple stones to note the full name of the deceased. The tradition lives on. I plan on being buried there, too.
