PROVIDED BY LARRY ANDERSON: There seems to be a compilation of evidence which would indicate that this could be the same Thomas Hiatt who was on board the ship, Bona Venture, in 1634 arriving in Virgina. It also appears that he may have been a merchant and had at least 2 sons, John and Thomas who settled in the New World. The John, above, stated that he was 22 in the year 1634.
Following is a brief account of a Thomas Hyatt, apparently the same who
was on the ship, Bona Venture, 1634.

From Hyatt to Hiett
One Line of Descent from Thomas Hyatt of Stamford, Norwalk and Ridgefield, Ct.
Thomas Hyatt, origins so far, unproved, but believed to have come from
England on the ship "Bonaventure" in 1634, at the age of 22. This ship was
originally bound for Virginia, but landed first at Dorchester, Mass. Besides
Thomas Hyatt, a John Russell, age 19, was also on the passenger list. (There were very many who appear to have direct relationships to many other Quakers of later dates, all close associates.
The first mention of a Thomas Hyatt (in early records) was when his name
appeared on the will of one John Russell of Dorchester, Mass., and he is called "brother". This John Russell died before the ship Bonaventure arrived, the date of death was 26 Aug 1633. His age was not been ascertained, but he may have been the father of the John Russell, age 19, who arrived the following year.
Several years later, in Stanford, Ct. At a town meeting of Dec. 7, 1641,
200 acres of land was granted to Thomas Hyatt of that town. This Thomas Hyatt was married, before 1640 to Elizabeth. Elizabeth's last name has never been proven, but was suggested to be Russell, because of the will, back in
Dorchester, and because an Elizabeth Russell was known to be in New Haven, Ct. and she had at least two brothers, Henry and John. That this Elizabeth was really a "Russell" has never been proven, and it was also suggested that she may have been one Elizabeth Jackson, whose name also appears on the passenger list of the "Bonaventure". Whoever Elizabeth was, her husband, Thomas Hyatt died in Stamford, Ct. on 9 Sept 1656, Leaving 6 children. Elizabeth married 2) 8 June 1657 to Cornelius Jones, a widower and it was Cornelius Jones who later made disposition of Thomas Hyatt's estate to the Hyatt children.
Of the children of Thomas Hyatt and wife, Elizabeth, there was a son,
Thomas Hyatt Jr., who was born in 1651, and was married 10 Nov 1677, at
Norwalk, Ct. to (Margaret?) Mary St. John, daughter of Mathias St. John and his first wife, Elizabeth or Norwalk. Thomas Hyatt Jr. died at Norwalk, Ct. and the inventory of his estate was taken 28 Mar 1698. His estate was distributed in 1718, 20 years after his death, and several pieces of his land were recorded after his death. The names of all nine of his children appear on the distribution records.
Thomas Hyatt Jr., and Mary St. John lived in Norwalk, Ct. and he was called Lt. Thomas Hyatt. He received a land grant from the town of Norwalk in 1672 for military services rendered during King Philips War (7 acres) which he exchanged for other land. Of their nine children, Thomas Hyatt 3rd, was born about 1680 in Norwalk, and married a lady named Experience. Her last name has never been found.
Thomas Hyatt 3rd, and wife, Experience moved to the newly settled town of
Ridgefield, Ct. and drew lot #15, as one of the original 25 proprietors in
1708. Residence there, however, did not occur until about 1714, when his house and land was ready for occupancy. The first three of their eight children were born in Norwalk, and the other 5 were born in Ridgefield. Thomas died 25 Dec 1760 at Ridgefield, but his death is recorded at Danbury, since that was where the deaths for Ridgefield were recorded until Ridgefield started to keep records of their own. His wife Experience did not remarry and died at Ridgefield on 29 Apr 1773. Both are buried at Ridgefield, Ct.
Hannah Hyatt was their oldest child, and was born 15 August 1702, at
Norwalk. She married 1) 24 April 1722 to James Scott, son of David Scott of
Ridgefield.
James Scott and Hannah Hyatt had six children, before his death sometime
around 1749. Widow Hannah Hyatt Scott married 2) (as his 3rd wife) to Samuel St. John. She died 26 april 1765.
The first child of James Scott and Hannah Hyatt was daughter, Hannah Scott, born 3 Oct 1731, at Ridgefield, Ct. She was married on 16 April 1754 to John Rockwell Jr. son of John Rockwell and Elizabeth Keeler of Ridgefield, Ct.
Early in 1766 John Rockwell and Hannah Scott Rockwell migrated from Ridgefield, Ct. to Lanesborough, Berkshire Co., Mass. Hannah Scott Rockwell died there on the 8 May 1788 and is buried in Lanesborough, Mass.
