I would argue that there is a mix up of two different Wyatt families going on here, or maybe the same Richard but two different spouses. The Richard Wyatt who married Catherine (Long) Tunstall is from the lineage of Major William Wyatt, from a different branch of Wyatts with different Y-DNA. Richard Wyatt, who married Catherine (Long) Tunstall, widow of Edmund Tunstall, had the following issue: 1. Thomas Wyatt 2. Henry Wyatt 3. Susannah Wyatt, m1. Solomon Day and m2. Thomas Davis 4. Richard Wyatt, who moved to Charlotte Co. and married Sarah Overstreet (this Richard has been highly debated and seems to be where a lot of the confusion is)
  • Genealogies of Virginia Families, Vol 1: From Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine, 1981.

The names referenced above in your biography, Morris, Long, Pettit (Pettus), Clough, all point undoubtedly toward the Major William Wyatt branch, and are even associated with a Ralph Wyatt going back even earlier when talking about Button's Range, a piece of land that is intertwined with almost all of the names I just mentioned. The Thomas Pettit mentioned above was the half-brother of Catherine (Long) Tunstall, and they had a sister, Dorothy Pettit, who with her husband, Godfrey Stanton, deeded land to their "nephew and godson, Thomas Wyatt, son of Richard Wyatt and Catherine of King and Queen Co., Parish of St. Stephen's. This Wyatt line being referenced is NOT from Haute Wyatt's line, and has different Y-DNA

In 1655 (October 29), he was a witness to an acknowledgement made by Pindabake, protector of the young king of Chiscoyack, at Captain John West's house, about some land given Mr. Edward Wyatt on the Pianketank River, in Gloucester county. He was probably a near kinsman of Edward Wyatt. As "Major William Wyatt" he patented 453 acres on the northeast side of Mattaponi River in 1664. There is in the State Library a petition dated 1684 from the inhabitants of St. Stephen's Parish, new Kent, for a new vestry. Among the petitioners was William Wyatt. In 1680 he was one of the justices of New Kent county. He appears to have had some issue (1) William Wyatt, who patented land in New Kent near Major William Wyatt. He married Rachel, daughter of Alexander Smith, of Middlesex county. (2) John. There is a bond dated February 1, 1710, of John Wyatt, Jr., of King and Queen county, son and heir of Anne Wyatt, daughter of Rice Jones, of Middlesex county. (Middlesex County Records.) (3) Richard. In 1683 Richard and John Wyatt patented 650 acres in New Kent county, "formerly granted to Major William Wyatt." Richard Wyatt married Catherine, widow of Edmund Tunstall, of King and Queen county, and they had Thomas Wyatt, of King and Queen, living in 1739 (July 10). (See Virginia Magazine, Vol. IX., p. 311.) Samuel Mathews, a great-grandson of Governor Samuel Mathews, married Catherine Tunstall, step-daughter of Capt. Richard Wyatt, of King and Queen.

Richard Wyatt is not eligible for the Magna Carta Project (his grandfather is the Gateway Ancestor who is within the scope of the project).

I don't see that he requires ppp, so I'll remove PPP as well as the Magna Carta Project as manager.

If you believe the profile does need to be protected, please contact the Virginia Project.

Cheers, Liz ~ co-leader, Magna Carta Project
