Different Winn/Wynnes. Different Edwards. Yes, I've researched your line before and its not mine. No, my line is not affiliated with Sir Bart Wynne either. Nor is my line affiliated with the then Welsh Edward Wynnes. Just as here, there were plenty of Winns and Wynnes. There were also plenty of Winns in Ireland. My Wynnes/Winns were tradesmen. My Edward Winn sailed out of London, arriving Charlestown, Massachusetts Bay Colony, with Moses Cleveland who later became his son-in-law, and with his wife and the 3 then-born children. Together with others they established Woburn, Mass. This is well documented.My Edward Wynne's father was sometimes known as Winn and sometimes as Wynne. Before that it was recorded as Wynne.My Winns/Wynnes were living in England, not rich, at a time when written literacy was an issue, and immigrees to the colonies were going for radically different reasons at the time (Virginia emmigrees were quite different from Mass. Bay Colony emigrees). By the way, the ancient Welsh origins of both names are "Win" and "Gwyn". Originally two different names, probably both anglicized and therefore spelled differently depending on the location the descendents were at the time and the literacy of the recorder. There is a research group in UK with a specialist in the English origins of American colonists, but it is a paid subscription service. Happy to give you the reference if you need it. Glad to hear your Winn/Wynnes were fairing well in Virginia. It appears southern US Winns were descended from more than one colonial line.
