There is DNA evidence that Damaris may have been pregnant with a son of Nicholas at the time of his death and had a son in 1673/74 who took the name of the stepfather, Thomas Bland (reported by Lee Anne Center [lacenter@comcast.net])

Nicholas Wyatt was probably (www.familysearch.org) the son of Haute (Hawte) Wyatt (Wy13) Reverent or Vicar and Barbara Mitford (or Milford) but the many seemingly authoritative sites fail to show any father for this Nicholas Wyatt or to show Haute Wyatt as a son of George Wyatt or as brother of Virginia Govenor Francis Wyatt. On the other hand anyone coming as a surveyor in 1650 must have enjoyed an unusual degree of education for the 1650's and hence have already been or at least was automatically accepted as gentleman in the upper classes. Today, with mass media it is relatively easy for anyone to assume the language and bearing of gentleman. But even 250 years after this period Shaw's Pigmalion showed this to be an unthinkable feat at the turn of the last century. So his appearance in Maryland shortly after Reverend Haute Wyatt and Govenor Francis Wyatt had been in Virginia make the assumption of close relationship rather probable. The nobility and gentry were a very small percentage of the English population, all multiply interrelated among themselves and not overly inclined to accepted others very quickly in their midst. Among the relationships of the Wyatts were the Howards, and Richard III had two illegitimate children, very likely by the Katherine Haute in his household. The genealogy incorporated in (Ha15) and compiled by George Wyatt (Wy14), the possible grandfather who died in 1638, does not include Nicholas Wyatt, so the connection may not be over Haute Wyatt at all but over some cousin of his. But such an omission could have been due to Nicholas being disowned for getting into some "mischief" like marrying a woman under his class or due to lack of knowledge from Haute's failing to communicate the birth in America to his father in England. The period from 1639 until the restoration of the monarchy must also be deemed as very troubled times in which dogmatic differences between royalists and parliamentarians as well as puritanism, anglicanism and catholicism often split family loyalties, and death penalties were to be feared from both sides with little neutral ground to stand on; so immediate family members were often "disowned".

William Rookins Jr was the brother-in-law of a Captain Nicholas Wyatt and involved in Bacon's Rebellion and sentenced to death because of it. Whether he married a Wyatt or Damaris was a Rookins and not a Stockett or we have to do with a different Nicholas Wyatt remains to be seen.

Born: about 1620
Married: Damaris ?Stockett/Stockwell.
He died before January 22, 1673 leaving a wife, Damaras, a son, Samuel, and a dau., Sarah. He was granted by patent (surveyed 1651) land on the south side of the Servern, all in the middle neck hundred. [TQFOAAC].
Her unusual name also appears in Powell family of which a Damaris b about 1640 m Charles Fowkes. This is compatible with the description in Maryland Archive "....Damaris Wyatt, who took Attorney Thomas Bland as her third husband, was an approved midwife. She and Nicholas Wyatt, her second husband, with a daughter by her first husband, had come from Virginia into Maryland, and settled on the Severn River. Wyatt, who may have been a surveyor, had laid out for him several parcels of land on the south side of the river, and there they lived. He died late in 1672 or early in 1673, for his will was probated in January 1673. Damaris went on living in the same place, and, on October 4, 1673, she took “One Dorothy Bruton into her house who was then very sick and bigg with Child” (post, p. 261) and cared for her for three weeks. Edward Gardner, whose interest in Dorothy is nowhere explained, had especially asked Damaris to do this, and he had “faithfully promise[d] to satisfie the said Damoris what she Should reasonably deserve” (ibid.). There may have been some connection between Gardner and Dorothy Bruton: she was never called Mrs., and never said to have had a husband. When she died, in July 1675, she left two daughters, and she made Gardner her executor. ...." More failure to pay etc.

Nicholas Wyatt was the pioneer surveyor of the Severn and may have come from Boxley Manor, Kent, England, or more likely from Virginia because of non-conformist Quaker persuasions.

“Wyatt’s Branch”: Nicholas Wyatt came to Maryland from Virginia in 1650 with Thomas Todd, Matthew Howard, and Edward Dorsey.

Sir Francis Wyatt

WYATT, Sir Francis, governor of Virginia, born in England about 1575; died in Boxley, Kent, England, in 1644. He was appointed governor of Virginia in 1621 to succeed Sir George Yeardley, and with a fleet of nine sail arrived there in October of that year. He was accompanied by his brother, Reverend Haut Wyatt, as clergyman of the party, William Claiborne as surveyor, John Pott as physician, and George Sandys, the translator of the "Metamorphoses of Ovid," as treasurer. Sir Francis brought with him a new constitution for the colony, by which all former immunities and franchises were confirmed, trial by jury was secured, and the assembly was privileged to meet annually upon the call of the governor, who was vested with the right of veto. No act of that body was to be valid unless it should be ratified by the Virginia company" but, on the other hand, no order of the company was to be obligatory without the concurrence of the assembly. This famous ordinance furnished the model of every subsequent form of government in the Anglo-American colonies. During his first year of governorship 21 vessels arrived in Virginia, bringing more than 1,300 settlers" but in March, 1622, the Indians rose and massacred 347 persons, including 10 members of the council, and the remainder of his service was disturbed by continual strife with the savages; but he persisted in giving larger liberties to the people, and in March, 1623, appointed monthly courts. He was wise and pacific in crisis management, and the colony grew and prospered. Meanwhile the Virginia company incurred the ill-will of King James by its opposition to his appointment of its officers. He sent commissioners to Virginia to gather material to work its ruin, and on 16 June, 1624, its charter was annulled" but Sir Francis was continued as governor by royal commission, and retained in 1625 by Charles I. The death of his father, Sir John Wyatt, recalled him in 1626" but he returned in 1639, and, displacing Sir John Harvey, who had offended the king, held the governorship till 1642, when he was succeeded by Sir William Berkeley.

Notes and References
1. Several sources cite the royal service of Lewis Stockett to Elizabeth I, among them Frank H. Stockett, who notes that Lewis Stockett was "an officer in the household of that queen." (The Stockett Family, Baltimore, MD: Wm. Boyle & Son, 1892, p. 3). He notes further, though providing no documentation for most of his assertions, that Lewis Stockett was born in 1558 and died in 1603. Also, William Berry, County Histories; Pedigrees of the Families of Kent, London: 1830, Newberry Library, Chicago, IL, E694478.1, p. 303, notes that Lewis Stockett was "of the household of Queen Elizabeth."

After the crushing defeat to the Royal cause at Worcester, in 1651, the brothers escaped to the ìContinent, and remained there until amnesty was declared; when they returned to England, gathered ìwhat they could from the wreck of their property, and came to Maryland to commence life anew, ìbringing with them as many of their family retainers as would follow their fortunes."

21. a. Nearly all the information presented here on the Ayleworth and early Stockett families (before Captain Thomas Stockett and his emigrant brothers) is drawn from one source, the so-called Visitation of Kent" or "Visitation of 1619" (The Visitation of Kent, Taken in the Years 1619-21, by John Philipot, Rouge Dragon, Marshall and Deputy to William Camden, Clarenceaux; edited by Robert Hovenden, F.S.A.; Harleian Society Publications, Vol. 42; London: 1898). Many of the original visitations, in Latin, were translated and republished by William Berry in his Pedigrees series. This and other visitations were enumerations of the gentry and nobility of England conducted by the College of Arms. Basically, individuals provided and attested to their pedigrees in order to record their rights to use a particular coat of arms. In fairness, it should be noted that the visitation data are suspect and therefore subject to considerable criticism, given the lack of supporting documentation and the tendency of individuals to rely on tradition and to occasionally paint the rosiest picture possible of their ancestors. b. Thomas Stockett appears in some accounts of early Maryland history. Homer Aylsworth, in Arthur Aylsworth and His Descendants in America (1887), suggests that he and his brothers may have been sons of Thomas Stockett and his first cousin, Frances Aylesworth, of Canterbury, England, who were grandchildren of Lewis Stockett, a member of the household of Queen Elizabeth the First. c. Skordas, in The Early Settlers of Maryland (1968, p. 443), says that Thomas, along with his brothers Francis and Henry, emigrated from England to Maryland in 1658, being joined in 1664 by their elder brother Lewis. Skordas, Warfield, and others note that Thomas, a member of the Church of England, served in the lower house of the Maryland Legislature, served as a justice of Baltimore County (1661-1664), and served as Deputy Surveyor General of the Colony from 1670 to 1671. d. Harry Wright Newman, in Heraldic Marylandia (1968, p. 147), indicates that Joseph Tilley, a registrar of All Hallows Parish in Anne Arundel County, noted the following in the registry: "About or in ye year of or Lord 1667 or 8 I became acquainted wth 4 Gents yt were Brethren and then dwellers Here in Maryland the Elder of them went by ye name of Collo Lewis Stockett and ye second by ye name of Captn Thomas Stockett, ye third was Doctr Francis Stockett and ye Fourth Brother was Mr Henry Stockett. These men were but ye newly seated or seting in Anne Arundel County and they had much business wth the Lord Baltimore then ppetor of ye Province. My house standing convenient they were often entertained there: They told mee yt they were Kentich Men or Men of Kent and yt for that they had been concerned for King Charles ye First, were out of favor wth ye following Governmt they mortgaged a Good an estate to follow King Charles the second in his exile and at their Return they had no money to redeem their mortgage wch was ye cause of their coming hither." e. A brief mention is found of Thomas Stockett in a biographical sketch of the 17th century writer George Alsop. The author notes that Alsop left England in 1658 "to spend four years apprenticed to Captain Thomas Stockett, of Baltimore County, an able and pious man, of whom Alsop spoke with respect and admiration."
