Thomas Wyatt (1839-1918) and his family make their first appearance in my Little Bay records in the summer of 1888 when his son was witness at a wedding there. Thomas and Robert Wyatt are recorded as residence there the following year by the elector’s list. My last reference to them living in Little Bay comes from 1894. Thomas Wyatt moved to Pilley’s Island where he died in 1918.
