John Robinson Wiatt was born about 1786 - 87, possibly in Gloucester County, Virginia and died of yellow fever in the Norfolk, Virginia area on 18 September 1855. He married December 21, 1809 Caroline Carter Fontaine, born Dec. 10, 1785 daughter of Rev. James Maury Fontaine and his second wife, Elizabeth 'Betty' Carter Churchill. This Fontaine family is the distinguished clan of Huguenot refugees, where the typical profession was the clergy. Caroline is also descended from Robert 'King' Carter of the Corotoman Plantation, Lancaster County, VA. Caroline was born December 10, 1785 in Gloucester County, Virginia and died of yellow fever in the Norfolk, VA area, 19 September 1855.

reference: the Bible of John Robinson Wiatt
reference: the Bible of Rev. James Maury Fontaine. Much of the information on the descendants of the Rev. James Maury Fontaine came from his bible which was in the possession of our family for over 200 years. A few years ago a cousin of mine donated it to the Gloucester Genealogical Society of Virginia.
I completed a transcription of this bible on 14 March 2010.
