My ancestor is Sir Dudley Wyatt of Jamestown VA..he was one of the first governing members. He owned the land where The College of William and Mary is located in Williamsburg VA. My mother's distant cousin is Jane Wyatt from Father Knows Best. My mother also went to school with Don Knotts from Andy of Mayberry.

On one side of my family I am a descendent of Peter Stuyvesant. served as the last Dutch Director-General of the colony of New Netherland (New York) from 1647 until it was ceded provisionally to the English in 1664. He was a major figure in the early history of New York City.
Stuyvesant's accomplishments as director-general included a great expansion for the settlement of New Amsterdam (later renamed New York) beyond the southern tip of Manhattan. Among the projects built by Stuyvesant's administration were the protective wall on Wall Street, the canal that became Broad Street, and Broadway. On the other side of my family I am related to Buford Hayse Pusser of the Walking Tall movie. |
One of my matrilineal ancestors married one of President Polk's daughters.
I'm allegedly the sixth cousin to Jessie James, but I need proof of that first before I believe it. |

Robert Burns the poet is a decedent of mine.
