Zadok WYATT
Mary CARMACK
Husband:  Zadok WYATT
Birth:  1 Mar 1778, Gloucester Co., VA
Death:  27 Feb 1843, Caldwell Co., KY 
Father:  William Edward WYATT, Jr.
Mother:  Frances NEWTON
Marriage:  20 Jul 1801, Livingston Co., KY
Wife:  Mary CARMACK/CAMMACK
Birth:  1783/4, 96th Dist. [now Laurens Co.], SC
Death:  3 Oct 1859, Caldwell Co., KY
Father:  John CAMMACK  (1753-1832)
Mother:  Margaret PURTLE  (c1760-1839), d/o Michael Leonhardt BERKEL (wife, Barbara)
Children:
— born in Livingston Co., KY:
1.  Margaret "Peggy" WYATT, b. 23 Apr 1802; d. aft. 1850; unmarried as of 1850
2.  Ann WYATT, b. 1803/4 
3.  Mary "Polly" WYATT; b. 1805 
4.  Amanda WYATT, b. 1807/8 
5.  William WYATT, b. 1811/2 

— born in Caldwell Co., KY:
6.  Finis WYATT, b. 30 Sep 1814; d. bef. 1885 
7.  John T. WYATT, b. 28 Feb 1816 
8.  Benjamin Berry WYATT, b. 5 Apr 1821 
9.  Franklin D. "Frank" WYATT, b. 1824/5 

In the 1850 Census, daughters Margaret, Ann, and Mary give their birth location as Caldwell Co. — although Caldwell Co. did not exist at the time of their births — while daughter Amanda gives her birthplace in the 1850 Census as Livingston Co.  Amanda's birthplace is in keeping with the apparent location of the family in Livingston Co., based on the 1810 Census — after the formation of Caldwell Co. in 1809.  I have no explanation for the anomaly.  Either the girls were mistaken about their birthplace (it happens) or the family moved to Caldwell Co. in 1801/2, then back to Livingston Co. again in 1807/8, then back to Caldwell Co. again in 1813, which I find unlikely.  Or there is the possibility that Mary was not birthing her children at their home in Livingston Co., but was, when her time approached, going to stay with someone else (her mother?), in a location that later became Caldwell Co.  Hard to say...

The younger male is too old to be a child of Zadock and Mary's and is probably a hired hand.  With a wife and four daughters, Zadok would have needed some help!

J.T. WYATT was born in Caldwell County, Ky., February 28, 1816, and is a son of Zedick and Mary (Cameron) Wyatt; the former was born in Virginia, the latter in South Carolina. 

The father of our subject ran away from Virginia in 1789 when he was but nine years of age and came to what was then Christian County, Ky., and hired out to a farmer living on Piny Creek.  He worked as a laborer until he was twenty-four years old, then settled down in what is now Crittenden County, then Livingston County.  There he bought 200 acres of land and resided until 1813 when he came to Caldwell County and settled on a farm within five miles of where J.T. is now living.  He first purchased 300 acres, but subsequently increased the size of the farm until he owned at one time about 1,100 acres.  He also paid some attention to stock trading.  He died in March, 1843.  A short time before the battle of New Orleans, he enlisted in a company that was being formed for duty in the South, but hardly had the soldiers started when the news of the battle was received, and he came home.  He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church...

Zadok is said by Battle to have moved from Christian Co. to Crittenden Co. at age 24 (i.e., in1802/3), then to have moved to Livingston Co. before eventually moving to Caldwell Co. in 1813, but these movements are hard to square with the primary data.  I find no datum indicating they were ever in what later (1842) became Crittenden Co.; and after turning 21 (in 1799), Zadok shows up on the tax rolls of Livingston Co. (in 1800), not Christian Co.

Christian Co., KY, was not formed until 1797, so that cannot accurately be said to be where John's father, Zadok/Zedick, "ran away to" in 1789.  The region of Piny Creek was, at the time, in Lincoln Co., VA.  Today the creek flows from the NW corner of Christian Co. through the NE corner of Caldwell Co. on its way to join the Tradewater River.
