THE WYATT FAMILY.

Among some of the early settlers at Williamsburg came the Watts and Wyatts. 
Lacy Watts, maternal grandfather of Charles A. Wyatt, who has been for twelve 
years mail carrier between Frankford and Williamsburg, lived on a farm about 
a mile above Williamsburg, where Joel H. Watts now Jives.  He married Rebecca 
Burr.  Their children were:  Aaron, Albert, Clark, Lizzie, who married a 
McCoy, went West and died there; Rebecca, who died thirty years ago, married 
Frank Wyatt, and lived at the old homestead.  Her husband was a soldier in 
the Confederate service and died during the war. Their children were Mary 
Ann, who died about three years ago; Clara, who married Matthew McMillion, of 
Williamsburg; John, Jane and Charles A.

Charles A. Wyatt married Amanda Lipps on January 8, 1819, and lived on the 
old homestead.  It is a piece of land, well timbered and well watered, has a 
large, fine growing orchard, and is adapted to grazing purposes as well as 
for raising farm products.

Mrs. Wyatt was a daughter of Charles Lipps, who lived just northwest of 
Williamsburg. Six children were born to this union. John F. Wyatt, the oldest 
son, is mail carrier from Lewisburg to Williamsburg, and has been for the 
past four years. He married Ada Robinson, now deceased. They had no children. 
Mamie and Henry, both unmarried; Grover, who married Rose Crookshanks; they 
live on part of the home place; Bertha Alice, deceased; Nellie, who married 
Ross Dove, a farmer; Charles A., an automobile machinist, who has a garage at 
Clintonville, built in 1913. He was born in 1900, married Miss Annie 
Surbaugh, of Kieffer, W. Va., and they have one son, Carl, the joy and life 
of the whole Wyatt family.
