I am a HYATT descendant. It appears very likely that I descend from Thomas HYATT, whose will was written in 1781 and proven in Feb 1783 in Edgecombe Co. NC. His will mentions sons Willis and David, who were the executors and therefore over age 21. It also mentions a son John Thomas, who was not yet 18. Willis evidently moved to Chester Co. SC, and other HYATT researchers say that David moved there too (although I don't see him on the census records) and I'd like to prove that they really were his sons rather than men with the same names. Willis must have moved there after the 1790 census was taken, since he doesn't appear in Chester Co. in 1790. I am not sure yet which son was my ancestor, but it was probably Willis. He appears on the 1810 Chester Co. SC census as age 45 + and was living next to Elijah HYATT age 26-45 and Jesse HYATT age 16-26 (he's my ancestor). There is no sign of David. Did David die or move elsewhere? Any other HYATT researchers out there? I appreciate any help I can get. Vickie Elam White
