WYATT. The name of a family famous for having produced among its various branches a long list of names celebrated as artists or architects. The family is of old standing in the midland counties, and the various branches now in existence trace their descent from John Wyatt of Thickbroom, in the parish of Weeford, county Stafford, as a common ancestor. From him descended Benjamin of Black-
brook, in the same parish, who had four sons, Samuel, Joseph, Benjamin, and James, the latter of whom we name the first.
