Additional Comments:
Although RE Robinson lists James Wyatt as his oldest son, there is a possibility 
that he was not in fact his oldest, just the oldest that he claimed.  Living 
relatives have spoken to his daughter, Elizabeth, who reported that other 
children ceased having any interactions with him due to his personality.
There may have been a son Irwin, and a daughter or daugher-in-law, Sally, who 
remained in Barnwell, SC when he and his wife moved with some of the other 
children.
