It also bequeaths money to his future heirs should they reach the age of 5. The Thomas Wayt Jr who married Ann had no living children in 1721. His first two children, Thomas Kemble and Ann, had died respectively in 1718 and 1719 and his wife was pregnant in 1721 with Mary. William Buy is mentioned as executor and administrator in the Articles of Marriage (1752) for Mary Wayt and George White which strongly suggests a relationship between the two. Given Mary had no surviving siblings, William was the next closest living relative (uncle). Thomas Wayt Jr is mentioned as "Gentleman" in all surviving documents. The only other Wayt family members listed as "Gent" are Thomas Wayt and his son Richard Wayt whereas the other branches of the Wayt family are referred to as "Yeoman". Richard Baker's (father-in-law of Thomas) will aligns with the proposed reconstruction Lands held by Richard Baker (1461/1736) - Culvering Hayes and Down Hicks Hayes amongst others - is subsequently assigned by Thomas Wayt to his brother Richard Wayt as part of his marriage settlement (1461/1750).
