Early Origins of the Piot family

The surname Piot was first found in Cornwall where Symon Pyot was recorded in 1297. Later in Cambridgeshire, John Pyet was recorded in 1308 and in Somerset, William Pyatt was listed in the Subsidy Rolls for 1327. In Hampshire, early records show John Pyard and Nicholas Piarde in the Subsidy Rolls of 1327 and 1332, respectively. 1
