If this is the baptism of your 3rd great-grandfather, you will notice that their is no name listed for his father so it is probable that his mothers name is Elizabeth HUATT and that his fathers surname was COX. (John being born out of wedlock)

Do not be concerned about the different variations of the spelling of the surname as this was common in those days. Also, don't take it as gospel that his fathers name was John HYATT as noted on the marriage of John and Hannah as often a fathers name was given just for convenience.
