I have a lot of proof, a lot of "beliefs, suppositions, guesses" about the middle GA Wynn/Wynne's. After all, I should as I slept with them night and day for too many years. I promise I will "try" to give some of my info, which is fairly accurate or I pray others will take it and prove it wrong and add to it. Please keep me posted: gwperdue@cox.net I sold my home, moved to a beautiful continuing care place, which is like being on a cruise ship except it never docks!! They keep me so active, physically, mentally and socially. Yet, IF I need skilled nursing, assisted living, or dementia, there are wings of those places, which I pray I can stay in my apartment until I die. I don't have to cook, do any housework, etc....just fun, fun, which I deserve at age 79 and still active and mostly healthy. Suffice it to say in this email, that I know the William Wynn, Sr. (married Elizabeth Echols) was in Wilkinson County, GA in 1820, 1830, and must have died in 1840's. One of his sons, Wm., Jr. (1790-1870) actually had 23 children...20 by Susan Hinson and three by his second wife. One of Wm. and Reitha's children died at birth. I visited descendants of the other two, who gave me records. Now, in another email I will "try" to give names of Wm. and Susan's children that I can actually document their descendants. There were several of the 20 (or 21 as reported) who died as infants (based on a letter from a grandson, which I have). Now, and PLEASE DO NOT POST OR COPY MY SUPPOSITION, BELIEFS, GUESSES, etc. as to who "might" have been children of Wm. Wynn, Sr. and Elizabeth Echols. (not in order of birth) 1. JOHN WYNN, (1787-1860)...lived Wilkinson, Houston, Pulaski Counties and was my great-great grandfather. (His son, Lewis Andrew Wynn '1818-1893' married Wm. Wynn Jr.'s daughter,Elizabeth, his relative Wm. Wynn, Jr. is also my great-great grandfather SO I HAVE A DOUBLE DOSE OF THAT BUNCH. 2. BARTLEY WYNN, b. 1793, d. 1868, Thomas Cty., GA; m. 1823 in Wilkinson Cty., GA to Rebecca Taylor, ( d/o Burrell Taylor (b.1798,N.C. and Cassandra). I have most of their descendants until about 1980); m. (2) Gatsy Ann Elkins in 1849, Thomas Cty., GA. (I have many of their researcher's info) 3. ASHLEY WYNN, b. 29 Jan 1804 (Bible), m. (1) 1834 to Mary Polly (d. 1855); m. (2) Elizabeth Stevens in 1856. I have two pages of his original Bible, which lists all his children's birth's marriages, deaths, etc. I want to put those valuable pages in a "young" descendant who will preserve it. 4. JAMES WYNN, b. 1800, d. ca 1866) m.1821 to Winney Lassiter. (Many researchers say and possible could be from the Warren County Wynn's. I have my doubts. I have attended many of their reunions, AND like me, they don't know. 5. MARY FRANCES WYNN married Willis Brazzeal REEVES (noted in Pulaski History). An interesting thing to me is: William Wynn, Jr. (1790-1870) and his second wife, Letha Stevens Thigpen Wynn, named a son WILLIS REEVES WYNN. William Wynn, Jr. "could" have named his son after his sister's husband????????? Also, I have many records proving connections between these families and also with my other great-great grandfather, John Wynn (1787-1860). I have records from thedescendants of the two surviving children of Wm. Wynn, Jr. and Leitha. 6. CELIA WYNN m. Watkins. VERY POSSIBLE. This is Tina Peddie's ancestor. Celia can not possibly be a child of William Wynn, Jr. I believe she is a daughter of Wm. Wynn, Sr., as ages match...plus the Watkins connections, dates involved, etc. PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ME. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND TELL ME WHAT YOU FIND ABOUT THE ABOVE SUPPOSTIONS OF THE CHILDREN OF OUR EARLIEST ANCESTOR TO WILKINSON COUNTY FROM BURKE COUNTY. I also have "beliefs" before that but will not post them unless someone can help as I am really at a loss straightening out my two ancestor WYNN's who ended up in the same counties or nearby. IN ANOTHER E-MAIL, I WILL"try" TO LIST THE KNOWN CHILDREN OF WILLIAM WYNN, JR., AND BOTH OF HIS TWO WIVES. Another story about the McGowan marrying Wm. Jr. I believe that got started years ago on the Mormon lists. I pursued that and got the original records from a descendant. Most of you have your own lists of Wm. and Susan's children, but I will "try' to type a copy of letter written by a grandson. He and his cousins got together and tried to reconstruct those they remembered. Then, I tried to put that together with my primary actual records. Gervaise WYNN Perdue 5/30/05 YES about that from others, prob. many on this list :) > BUT, MY QUESTION has been for years now: > WHO IS THIS WILLIAM WYNN to my CELIA WYNN who mar.
