I'm beginning to think I dreamed this up. I remember finding it in a book at the Bay County Public Library but now have lost my source. However, that was the ONLY source that gave me that information In checking back I found something else that may interest you about Nicholas Wyatt. (I lost the title page on this book I borrowed from another library but it was written I believe in 1939 and consists of Letters written by Wyatts and they refer thoughout the book "Meet You Wyatt Cousins" Letter.)on page 72: Information and parentage wanted of Nicholas Wyatt who "came up from Virginia in 1650" as atty. for Mr. Henry hawkins and settled in Severn, Md., where he died; will probated 1673, wife executrix. Wife was Damaris_____ formerly widow of______by whom she had a daughter Mary who married Maj. John Welsh. Nicholas andDamaris Wyatt had a dau. Sarah who was the first wife of Col. Edward Dorsey. His will 1705. Damaris Wyatt married (third) 'Thomas Bland the Atty.' Suit in Chancery: Dorsey Vs Bland, for the administration of Nicholas Wyatt's estate was won by Col. Dorsey on behalf of his wife Sarah "sole heiress". "Col. Cornelius Howard wrote the will." It has been claimed that Sarah Wyatt Dorsey was kin to Lord Cobham and that "Nicholas Wyatt was son to Sir Francis Wyatt." "Capt. Thomas Wyatt is listed in the membership of the (Second?) Virginia Company which also contained the names of Gov. Francis Wyatt and his two Sandys brother-in-laws." Any clarifying data will be most gratefully acknowledged. Most of the above quotations are from J. W. Warfield's Founders of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. (I think the name of this book is Joseph and Isaac Wyatt)Perhaps what I had was wrong and this is worth researching futher.
