The Hyatt family of Tewksbury plantation was estalished by Charles Hyatt who
was born in England and died in Maryland about 1726. Charles Hyatt was
married to Sarah Tewksbury, daughter of William Tewksbury (Tewkesbury).
Charles Hyatt settled first in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and then moved
to Prince Georges County, Maryland, where he acquired 300 acres of land which he called Tewksbury. There is some dispute about the naming of the property. Some believe it was named in honor of Battle of Tewkesbury which took place on 4 May 1471, or in reference to Tewkesbury, England.
