Claimed as a headright by Colonel Thomas Pettus for land patented in Westmoreland Co., VA in 1652.
John Wyatt I, the son of Rev. Haute Wyatt and his 2nd wife Anne Cox, was cared for by his grandmother Lady Jane Finch Wyatt, as his mother had died in 1631. He came to America as a young man and was claimed as a headright by Colonel Thomas Pettus in 1652. Pettus received 1,000 acres in Westmoreland County,Virginia, in a patent dated Feb. 10, 1652, for transporting 20 persons, including John Wyatt. See Nell Marion Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers, Vol. 1, p. 389.
John Wyatt I was twice married. Around 1650 he married Mary Cocke and had sons Edmund and William. After Mary's death John married Jane Osborne and had by her a son John and daughter Anne. John Wyatt I was mentioned in the will of his cousin Eleanor Wyatt, (1624-1649), the only child of Haute Wyatt's brother Henry. She died in 1649 in England and left a bequest of 40 pounds to John and 50 pounds to his sister Anne. See "Virginia Gleanings in England," Virginia Historical Magazine 31
(1923), 239.
Anne later came to Virginia and was among the headrights claimed by John Ashley in 1653. There is a family tradition that John Wyatt I, known as Capt. John Wyatt, was a sea captain and ran a line of merchant ships between England and Barbados. "Possibly Rev. Haute's son John was the Capt. John Wyatt, of York, 1646-65, at whose house in 1655 Maj. William Wyatt and others witnessed 'an acknowledgment by the protector of the young king of the Chicksoyacks to Edward Wyatt.'" See P. Stacy, "Major William Wyatt of St. Stephen's," Tyler's Quarterly Magazine 26 (October 1944), 119.

Sir John Wiot changed his last name to Wyatt once he reached Jamestown, Virginia. Library genealogical records show he had the title of "Captain", but, I have not been able to find any more information of his service.
