The reference to Sacker Wyatt being from Ireland seems to come from a county history (from memory - Edgar Co., IL) which said that one of his grandsons, William or Augustus had Irish heritage. I'm still betting on the Wyatts coming from Kent Co., England. Sacker's widow Nancy married 2nd Jacob Prettyman. I don't know how he is connected to Thomas Jefferson Prettyman who married Lydia Wyatt. The administrations of Sacker's Delaware estate and that of his brother William contain references to most of these connections. If you go to rootsweb and search the family trees for William Wyatt b. 1640 there is more info. As far as migration goes, Sacker's son Jasper went to Monongalia, Virginia (now West Virginia). Several of his children migrated to Edgar Co., IL. The census taker for 1850 Edgar Co., IL deserves to be in the census takers' Hall of Fame. He recorded not only the state but the county of birth! :) -Donna
