When I was a child of six or so, our family took a weekend trip to southern Utah and visited the Parowan Gap. While there, we discovered a 19th century "signature" on the rock (graffito) that said, "Hyatt." I don't recall if there was either a first name or a date. My dad took a photo of my brother and me by the name. For the record, my family came to Utah from Illinois in the 1940's and 50's. I am not related to any Hyatt's from Payson, Paragonah or Parowan and am not related to the Hyatt who vandalized the Parowan Gap rock art site. So, Joan, if you come across the name chiseled over any ancient petroglyphs, please don't blame me or my kin... Kim A. (not-related-to-the-Utah-Hyatts) Hyatt
