Elizabeth Raines

Taking the year of birth of their first known
child and subtracting 1 year, John and Elizabeth are estimated to have been
married about 1823 in Randolph County, Virginia. Early in Randolph County's
history until the close of the Civil War there were courts held for the sole
purpose of providing for the country's defense. Military Officers were appointed
the same as Civil Officers. The militia had regular times for mustering, and
there were fines for non-attendance, and those fines were collected the same as
taxes. John Wyatt appears in these records as a Lieutenant of Militia in 1853

John married Celia Gould and moved to Upsher County where they remained
the rest of their lives. (Note:

board posting by the wife of a direct descendant - I have not been able to
verify with a source yet)

d. 1890
Preferred to go by his middle name of "Coyner". He married Julia
Ann Rhodeman who also died in 1890. The couple had 4-5 sons, one of whom
was E.C. Wyatt who was an avid researcher and wrote a series of articles
in the 1920's for the Randolph County Enterprise about families and their
histories in the local area.
Coyner is said to be buried in a neglected grave yard in Canaan Valley about six miles north of
Davis in Tucker
County, apparently the graves are now being farmed over? I don't know
if Julia is buried there with him or not.
