On 16 February 1809, Elizabeth Hyatt, "widow", signed her will, leaving everything to her son, Robert: "Whereas my Son Robert Hyatt for many years past has lived with me and taken great care of my Business without whose assistance I could not have managed the same and also otherwise assisted me in my Concern I therefore as a token of gratitude give and bequeath all my Household Goods and Furnitures, Stock in Trade and all other my effects of whatever description that I shall die possessed of unto my said son Robert". * On 10 August 1819, Elizabeth Hyatt's son, Robert was sworn as her sole executor, showing that she had died by this date. Her effects were valued at £100. * In the 'Universal British Directory 1793-1798', Elizabeth Hyatt is described as the 'victualler' or landlady of the Cross Keys inn. This suggests that her husband, John Guppy Hyatt, had died before 1798 at the latest.
