Thomas Wyer, another prominent Loyalist, and original grantee of the Town Plot, married a daughter of Capt. Jeremiah Pote. He had been Customs Officer at Falmouth. He became the first Sheriff of Charlotte County from 1784 to 1790 and was largely interested in lumbering. He died in 1824 in the eightieth year of his age. His remains are in the old churchyard, at the head of King Street. His descendants have always been and still are among the most prominent and respected citizens of St. Andrews.
