Robbie Wyatt was born February 7, 1914 to Ed and Amanda Walker Wyatt in Dickens County just outside of Spur. Her parents came to Dickens County in 1908 and raised ten children here. Her family lived on the Boothe place near Croton when she met Clay. They were married August 23, 1933 in Hollis, Oklahoma.

As newlyweds they moved to the land where Clay was born and raised. This was their home for fifty-two years, as they raised their two sons. Doc Dwayne and Max Wyatt. Doc married Bonnie Smith and they live in Spur. They have three children and two granddaughters. Sharon and her husband, Hoss Martin live in Spur with their two daughters, Misty and Jennifer. Patricia married Glenn Heinrich and they live in Slaton. Mark lives in Dallas. Max is married to Joyce Bopp from Illinois. They live in Clovis, New Mexico.

Clay farmed, ran some cattle, and had a large sheep herd that brought him many hours of pleasure. He was known well for his registered sheep, Hampshires in the earlier years, then Suffolk. He was a dedicated member of the Dickens County Junior Livestock Show Committee where he served many years working with the youth in the area until his death in June, 1985.
