Biography

Joseph was born in 1700 somewhere in Delaware or Maryland (the borders changed due to surveying), or quite possibly, in Virginia.

A will filed in 1762 in Delaware by Joseph Wyatt Sr. names the following beneficiaries:

  • Mary Wyat (eldest daughter)
  • William Wyat (eldest son)
  • John Wyat (youngest son)
  • Dinah Wyat Latcham
  • Ziporah Wyat and
  • Nathaniel Wyat

Daughter Dinah Latcham (so identified by surname in the will) is presumed to be the Dinah born in 1720 in Maryland, died 26 Oct. 1772, Worchester Co, Maryland, who married Thomas Latcham (1720- 04 AUG 1767), also of Maryland.

  • Joseph Wyat Sr

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Joseph 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 Joseph:

On the 'edit' page for this profile, please change the LAST NAME AT BIRTH to one of the spellings, and put the other one in the Other Last Names field. "Wyatt_Wiatt" is not a correct naming convention on WikiTree. Please let me know if you don't understand or if I can help. Thanks!
