To pass along information I have that some of you may find useful are parts of letters written by a grandson of William Wynn, Jr. (1790-1870) and Susan Hinson Wynn. He was Samuel Braswell (S. B.) Wynn, son of Braswell Wynn and Asenath Kittles Wynn. Thomas Wynn, son of S. B. let me copy his father's letters, notes, etc. He, Thomas, also wrote a story of his life growing up in "Mingo," the Salem Church area where Wm. Wynn, Sr. (1860's-1840's) and Wm. Wynn, Jr. (1790-1870) and most all of the early Wilkinson Wynns lived. He gave me permission to share the information I got from him. My comments will be in parenthesis with my initials, "gwp."
