The Visitation of Kent, 1619, the Visitation of Essex, 1612, Miscellaneous Essex Pedigrees, and the Papers of George Wyatt, do not agree on the Wyatt ancestry from this point on. While the Visitations were made in George Wyatt's lifetime and are likely to be based on information given and/or evidenced by him in the form of any ancient deeds available to him, the Heralds were the King James' representatives and possibly inclined to leave out anything that might give rise to a conflicting claim. Furthermore, George's papers will have certainly unearthed additional findings in the nearly 20 years after the last Visitation, so more credence should be lent to George's papers, although the Visitations are the officially approved version only to be overturned by primary documentation. |
