    OT: Sylvester Wyet/Wyatt and Rice Jones
    From: Robert Wyatt
    Date: 2016 May 16, 09:35 -0500
    [Off topic]

    Hi all,

    I would have never  thought to ask this here, but since there is such a broad general knowledge base among NavList readers I thought I'd take a stab in the dark. I'm interested in the relationship between two sailors, Sylvester Wyet and Rice Jones. A reference to the two can be found here:

    http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/wyet_sylvester_1E.html

    My interest is genealogical in that one of my forebears, a John Wyatt, married the daughter of a Rice Jones, about 100 years after the sailing reference above:
    http://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/1915003.pdf

    My working assumption, having proved that our Wyatt line is not directly descended from Sir Francis Wyatt or his brother, is that we may be descended from Sylvester Wyet who sailed from Bristol with Captain Rice Jones in 1594.

    Additionally, I'm almost 100% certain the Captain Rice Jones who sailed from Bristol is the same Rice Jones of Asthall Manor:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Jones_of_Oxfordshire

    At any rate, I'm seeking information clarifying/proving/disproving my working assumptions regarding the identities of Sylvester Wyet and his captain, Rice Jones. I do have genetic test results available at Gedmatch in case you know people in either of these lines who have tested.

    Best regards and apologies for disrupting normal business!
