    3. To Tim Wilkinson, Mary McKinley and John Smith, and other interested in the Ottley genealogy, I received from a Chris Warner the 1772 diary of Elizabeth Ottley (born in the 1750s) who lived in Dunstan Park in England. Her father was Richard Ottley (1730-1775) of Saint Vincent and later of Dunstan Park. She mentions a visitor who frequented their home in England, and his name was Mr. Wynne. I still don't know how the Wynne came into the family, but I know they were friends. I know we were trying to find the ancestry of Benjamin Wynne Ottley. Whether the child was named after the friend, or whether the friend's family married into the Ottley family, I am still to find out, but besides the records you have of Robert Wynne being in the commissioned group that was sent to Dominica with Richard Ottley, most likely ELizabeth's father, whom she notes in her diary as always visiting the West Indies, here is another fact that lets us know that the Wynne family was definitely friendly with the Ottley family. Hope you are all well, Nevilla
