**Wayland Manning Minot** (October 23, 1889 – November 20, 1957) was an American [football](/source/American_football) player. He played [college football](/source/College_football) at [Harvard University](/source/Harvard_University) and was selected as a consensus [All-American](/source/College_Football_All-America_Team) at the center position in 1909.[1]

Minot was married in 1913 to Anna Marie Shaughnessy. They had five children, Ruth (born 1914), Wayland Jr. (born 1915), Anna (born 1918), Elizabeth (born 1922), and Herbert (born 1925).[2] In the late 1920s, he lived in [Cambridge, Massachusetts](/source/Cambridge%2C_Massachusetts), and served as Parks Commissioner.[3] In 1930, Cambridge Mayor [Richard M. Russell](/source/Richard_M._Russell) nominated Minot to serve as City Treasurer, but his nomination was rejected by the City Council.[4][5] Minot later became an investment counselor in [Boston](/source/Boston), Massachusetts.[6]

In January 1933, Minot was involved in a late night motor vehicle accident resulting in the death of one of his passengers. He crashed into a draw bridge of the [Charles River Dam Bridge](/source/Charles_River_Dam_Bridge), and the vehicle burned. Minot was placed under arrest and charged with manslaughter.[7][8] Although a police officer testified that the smell of liquor was on Minot's breath, he did not believe Minot was under the influence, and Minot was found not guilty of manslaughter.[9][10][11]

Minot died in November 1957 at his home in [Belmont, Massachusetts](/source/Belmont%2C_Massachusetts).[6]
