Deconflation with John Wyatt of Assington, Suffolk & Ipswich, Mass
This John was conflated with early immigrant John Wyatt of Assington, Suffolk and Ipswich, Massachusetts. The origins of this John Wyatt, settler of Windsor by 1649, are not confirmed.
Biography
- Likely descendant of John Wyatt of Braunton (1465–1525).
Uncertain Origin
John Wyatt's origins are currently unproven. This profile was previously set up as a child of Stephen Wyett and Leah Mullins without a source, that relationship has been severed.
In Windsor, Connecticut he had property next to Matthew Allyn, husband of Margaret Wyatt of Braunton, Devon, England. Possibly he was related to Margaret but the main published work on the Allyn and Wyatt families of Braunton showed no parish registers or other records mentioning a John Wyatt of this age * [1]
- A likely christening record for John was only 10 miles from Braunton in Northam. A child of Hugh Wyate (Margaret Wyatt had a brother named Hugh) on 18 April 1627. [2] There's also a Phillip Wiate (Margaret Wyatt had a brother named Phillip) living in Northam at the same time...
WikiTree standards are to estimate age 25 at first known marriage for a male placing his birth at about 1622.
Immigration to Windsor, Connecticut
John was an early settler of Windsor, Connecticut, who removed to Farmington in the early 1650's, selling his home and land in Windsor to Owen Tudor in 1649.[3] . The home and land sold to Owen Tudor was nextdoor to Matthew Allyn and his wife, Margaret Wyatt. He later (after 1662) moved to newly founded Haddam, where he died before 7 September 1668.[4]
He married, probably Hartford, Windsor County, by 1647, Mary Bronson, as her first husband.[5] An early map of Windsor lists John Wyatt's property along with others, but does not give a specific date of his arrival or acquisition of the land.[6]
Probate Records
An inventory of his estate was taken 7 September 1668 by Abraham Dibble and Richard Joanes.[7]
The court ordered his widow should receive ￡35; John, the eldest son, ￡14. The other 7 children were to receive￡8 each. Administration was granted to Mary, the widow; John and Richard Bronson were "desired to assist her." The estate was to pay a debt to John Gifford.[8]

Research Notes
Children's vital data. Without further reference, a prior version of this profile reports births and/or deaths for some of the children as,
- Mary Wyatt, died 1672
- John Wyatt, born October 23, 1653--this date is in error as he was baptized on that date, then about 4 years old.
- Dorcas Wyatt, born 4 February 1654, died 10 May 1697,
- Sarah Wyatt, born 20 March 1658, died 23 March 1721,
- Joanna Wyatt, died 23 March 1721,
- Elizabeth Bronson Wyatt, died October 1737
- Israel Wyatt, born 7 September 1668--this date is in error as he was reported about "half a year" in his father's probate record of 7 September 1668.
Other daughters Hannah and Margaret? A prior version of this profile reported there were two other children born to John and Mary, his wife. These two children were not among those identified in John's 1668 probate record; there are,
- Hannah Wyatt, born 20 March 1658--this is the same date given for the birth of Sarah Wyatt (research note above).
- Margaret Wyatt, born 1667.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

John Wyatt and James Wyatt (abt.1610-1664) were first cousins from Northam, Devon, and nephews of Margrett (Wyatt) Allyn (1595-1675). Margaret was born in Braunton, Devon, and had two older brothers named Hugh and Phillip. In 1610, there's (presumably) two brothers (young men) named Hugh Wyatt and Phillip Wyatt living in nearby Northam, Devon. In 1610, Phillip had a son named James, and in 1627 (baptism date), Hugh had a son named John. We know that John Wyatt went to live with (or near) Margaret in Hartford, and then nextdoor to her in Windsor (this surely indicates a familial relationship IMO). And a c.1627 birth date would've made him around the same age as his wife when they married in Hartford in 1647. And James (who was older) may have just been drawn to Taunton over Connecticut for many possible reasons (Margaret also lived in Massachusetts for years before moving to Connecticut).

Given that Hugh & Phillip are not super-common names I think your theory is very plausible. Hopefully we can find some wills or deeds or something to help cement this family structure.
If anyone feels reliable sources have been overlooked in this effort, please post here so that we may collaborate further.
Thank you for supporting WikiTree. --Gene
But...Stiles is pretty firm that his 1649 land sale was his first appearance of record there. No sign of him pre-1641, seems like we need to de-conflate him from Wyatt-634 and drop him from PGM

Note: The first source (the English Christening Record) gives, what I think is, another John Wyatt. That John Wyatt was baptized in Assington, but appears too young to be Wyatt-634 and has different parents.
