Notes for JOHN WYATT II:
The identity of John Wyatt II, son of John and Jane (Osborne) Wyatt, has b een a source of some confusion. A number of secondary sources allege th at this John Wyatt II was the same John Wyatt who married Ann Jones, daugh ter of Rice Jones. See Leonardo Andrea, The Wyatt Family, paper read "La st Sunday in August 1942, Fairfield Church near Easley, SC," at an annu al reunion of the SC Wyatt family; Descendants of Francis and Haute Wyat t, 4 (which gives Ann's maiden name as James); and Francis Sample Frankli n, The Ancestry of Frances Sample Franklin (Wolfe City, TX, 1972), 88-9 0. This error has been repeated all over the internet and can be fou nd at a well-known Wyatt web site: http://www.wyatt.family.tree.mcmail.co m. Interestingly, an article entitled "Wyatt Families," which appear ed in 1901 in the William and Mary Quarterly, series 1, p. 260, shows t he John Wyatt who married Ann Jones as the son of Major William Wyat t. P. Stacy's article "Major William Wyatt of St. Stephen's," Tyler's Quar terly Magazine 26 (October 1944) 118-121, also confirms that the John Wya tt who married Ann Jones was a son of Major William Wyatt. Finally, the ex haustive and well-documented book by Michal Martin Farmer, The Genealo gy of the Webster, Martin, Dozier Staples, & Starke Families of Wilkes Co ., GA. Their Ancestors, Descendants, & Kin Braswell, Wyatt, and Martin (Wo lfe City, TX, 1994), 619-640, clearly establishes that Major William Wya tt (ca. 1627-ca.1693) was the father of the John Wyatt who married Ann Jon es. Genealogist Kyle S. VanLandingham has worked diligently at the Wyatt G enforum Message Board and at the Wyatt Rootsweb Mailing List to debunk t he myth that the John Wyatt who married Ann Jones was the son of John a nd grandson of Haute Wyatt.
A careful study of the early Virginia land patents in Nugent's Cavaliers a nd Pioneers and an examination of Virginia Tax Records (Baltimore, 1983 ); Virginia Land Records (Baltimore, 1982); Virginia Marriage Records (Bal timore, 1984); Virginia Military Records (Baltimore, 1983); Dorothy Ford W ulfeck, Marriages of Some Virginia Residents, 2 vols. (Baltimore, 1986); C layton Torence, comp., Virginia Wills and Administrations 1632-1800 (Balti more, 1985) and other published sources leads to the conclusion, by proce ss of elimination and a preponderance of the evidence, that John Wyatt I I, son of John and Jane (Osborne) Wyatt, was the identical John Wyatt w ho died prior to 1715 and whose widow married William Cording of Bath Coun ty, North Carolina. John Wyatt's estate was managed by his widow's seco nd husband, William Cording, and confirms that his daughter Ann Wyatt w as in 1715, the wife of John Stafford I. See Beaufort County, NC, Real Est ate Record Book I, pp. 267-268.
