Thomas Wyer

Thomas Wyer (1789 – December 23, 1848) was a political figure in New Brunswick.[1] He represented Charlotte in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from 1827 to 1840.

He was the son of Thomas Wyer, a United Empire Loyalist who came to St. Andrews, New Brunswick from Falmouth (later Portland, Maine), and Joanna Pote.[1] Wyer served as a justice in the Court of Common Pleas, as a lieutenant in the militia, as commissioner of wrecks and as a member of the board of education.[2] In 1840, Wyer was named to the Legislative Council of New Brunswick.[3]

His daughter Susan married George Dixon Street, who also represented Charlotte in the assembly.[4]
