The Rev. Hawte Wyatt was born at Boxley Manor in the Parish of Boxley in the County of Kent in England in 1594, and he was named for his paternal grandmother.  He came to Virginia with his brother, Sir Francis Wyatt and his wife and young son Edward, one year old.  They arrived in Jamestown in October, 1621.  His second son, George, was born in Jamestown shortly after the Indian massacre of Good Friday in March, 1622.  The two brothers remained in Jamestown until after the death of their father, who was buried at Boxley September 1, 1624.  Both Rev. Hawte and Sir Francis asked to be relieved of their posts in Jamestown, and they returned to England with their families.  Rev. Hawte Wyatt later became vicar of Boxley where he remained until his death 31 July 1638, but Sir Francis returned to Virginia thirteen years later and served a second term as Governor.

        A monumental inscription in Boxley Church, Kent County, England to the Wyatt family states that “the Rev. Haute Wyatt died vicar of Boxley Parish and that he had issue living in Virginia.
