More Wyatt Genealogy...

How about this~ My Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather or (GGD to the 9th) Haute Wyatt came to America in 1621, with his brother Sir Frances Wyatt. Haute Wyatt GGD to the 9th was selected to serve as minister for the tenants of Jamestown, while his brother Francis was chosen Governor of Virginia by King Charles 1st.

This drawing was done by Sidney King, who painted and drew numerous scenes of Jamestown life. I love the pants!

This is the vellum document the Charles 1st issued appointing Sir Francis Wyatt Royal Governor of Virgina in 1638, and is in the Library of Virginia.

Here's something else I just found today~

Colonial Families of the Southern States of America Second Edition by STELLA PICKETT HARDY; Pub. 1991, relates as follows:

REV. HAUTE WYATT, (10-6), of England and Virginia, b. 1594, at Allington Castle, Kent Co., England; d. Aug. 1, 1638 in Boxley Parish, Kent Co., England; is the ancestor of the Virginia Wyatts. The monumental inscription in Boxley Church to the Wyatt family states that "Sir George's son, Rev. Haute, died vicar of Boxley Parish, Kent Co., England, and had issue living in Virginia." He came to the Colony with his brother, Sir Francis, arriving on the [ship] Georgia, Nov. 18, 1621; he served as Minister of Jamestown, James City Co., Va., from 1621 to 1625, when he returned to England, became vicar of Boxley Parish, and so served until his death

Well, this is all so very 17th century...wait until I post about the 16th century! There really was tons of crazy going on back then.
