Dr. John J. Dickey Diary, Fleming County, Ky. Recorded in the 1870's and beyond. Reprinted in Kentucky Explorer, Volume 10, No 6 - November, 1995. pp. 85-86. By permission. Laurel County. George S. Wyatt - Friday, June 17, 1898. My grandfather, James Wyatt, was born in Virginia as was my father Samuel Wyatt. My grandfather removed first to Missouri and from there came to Laurel County and settled on Rockcastle River near Wyatt's Chapel. He reared 14 children: James, John, George, William, Samuel, Wade, Jane (Edwards), Elizabeth (Lucas), Martha (Casey), Sarah, Nancy (Owens), Lucy (Landrum). My father was a religious man and a devout Methodist. He had letters from attorneys in New York recently, stating that Sir Francis Wyatt and lately died in England leaving an enormous estate. He had gone to England from Virginia. The attorneys were seeking the Wyatts. They wanted $250.00 from each heir and as such schemes had so often proven to be fake, we paid no attention to it. I was born July 20, 1853 in Clay Co. I am a local preacher in the M. E. Church South. My grandfather, James Wyatt, reared 7 children. My father, Samuel was the only son. The daughters were, Lucy (Colley), Lydia (Martin) mother of Joseph Young's first wife, Rebecca (Robinson), Margaret (Stivers-Phillips), one child by Stivers married Daniel Howse, mother of Reid and Sam Phillips was her daughter, Eliza (Vaughn), Minerva (Vaughn). Grandfather owned all the land from Joe Young's to the head of this creek, 2,000 or 3,000 acres. My father owned 600 acres and lived and died where Wade Wyatt now lives at Wyatt's Chapel.
