    1. Re: [WINN] A Gwynne/Winn Situation for Myles
    2. Robert L. Wynne
    3. Marilyn- What Myles mentions in "Mythtakes" is just a small part of the entire collection. Much of the collection Myles references have been rendered to pdf file format. For example I scanned Dwnn's Heraldic "Visitations of Wales and part of the Marches" some years ago and it is over 800 pages and many megabytes (now it is accessible in low resolution on Google). If there is anything you find that you especially need I may be of some help with? My interest is primarily with English and Welsh Wynne records where Myles is the expert on Virginia Wynne and Gwydir Wynn lines. Over the years I have accumulated a number of 17th century Wynne wills and land patents (all spellings). Some have been transcribed others not as they do not pertain to a Virginia emigrant. The original Wynne wills are copyrighted by the PRO and so are not legally able to be distributed. If you search for Wynne at the PRO website and A2A you will discover hundreds of 17th century Wynne's (all spellings) who must be regarded as potential ancestors for some of us American Wynne's. There is also a massive collection of Wynne's in Sir Percival Boyd's "Brides & Grooms" for many of the counties in England some of whom are no doubt related to American Wynne's. In the last few messages I note references to "The Complete Book of Emigrants" by Peter Wilson Coldham. I do not believe Peter W. Coldham has compiled what can be regarded as a "complete book of emigrants" as there are at least four other books dealing with emigrants for the same period not otherwise covered in Coldhams original book. Also, since his first publication on the subject Coldham has been adding to his original work and new English port book records continue to be discovered followed by new publications of emigrants. Here I would add it is virtually impossible for a male in direct bloodline descent from Sir John Wynn of Gwydir to have ever immigrated to the colonies. Though, interestingly Sir Owen Wynn did for a time have a custodial responsibility in Virginia, there is no proof he ever came to Virginia or as they say 'lived, married and left issue'. -Robert -----Original Message----- From: winn-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:winn-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of ROBERT CAPPS Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 3:41 PM To: winn@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WINN] A Gwynne/Winn Situation for Myles Myles, I just wish that you would get everything you have an publish it.

    1. [WINN] Minor Confusion
    2. Randy
    3. Cousins, Here is a write-up that seems interesting--academically addressing the advent of Minor's in America/Virginia. I've had it awhile, don't know where I got it and only just read it. I haven't look at any of the sources. Does anyone know who wrote this and what book they refer to at the end? I'd like to give them credit and follow up on this as it applies to my site and goes towards characterizing the immigration of our family Has anyone got copies of the pages reference within? I'd sure like to put them on my site where appropriate. Does anyone familiar with Dutch culture in the 17th century? What I wonder at is why would this Maindort Doodes call out his son as Doodes Minor and then him use Minor as a last name? Thank you, Randy C. Smart ----------------------- Confusion over Lineage of the Minor Line - Author Unknown I believe the basis for the John Winn and Elizabeth Minor marriage is that it was known that John Winn married one Elizabeth Minor. This comes from an article title, John Minor of Westmoreland County, Virginia (no author given). It states in part, "It is only known that John Winn married an Elizabeth Minor and because Elizabeth daughter of John Minor (Will of 1698) was the only Elizabeth Minor in that area at that time, she is believed to be the one." This genealogy begins by saying ''John Minor born in England, believed to be son of Ann and Harry Mynors of Garway, England. Immigrated to Virginia prior to 1627 with his widowed mother, and sister, Jane Kidwalider, wife of John Kidwalider." The Complete Book of Emigrants, by Peter Coldham, which covers the period between 1607-1660 of Virginia, does not list any Minor (any spelling) having came to Virginia during that period. Neither does it list a Jane and John Kidwalider. It does list (page 465) a Jane and John Kidwillar. Dated 1 Aug 1660. ''The following bound to John Woory, merchant to serve in Nevis, John Kidwillar, yeoman for 5 years. Jane Kidwillar, spinster for 5 years." It is difficult to believe had the Minors been in Virginia prior to 1627 that they would have not showed up in some of the many records covered in this book. Richard Winn's (son of John Winn and Elizabeth Minor) children were born in Middlesex County. My point is, doesn't it seem possible that Elizabeth Minor could have been the daughter of many of the other Minors in that area of Middlesex? There was a family of Minors who settled there ca 1673. Ref: John B Minor, The Minor Family of Virginia (1923) In his preface he states,"In an old Bible which belonged to my father Dr. Charles Minor, and which is now in my possession, he wrote the following memorandum in 1853". (And here I will not take word for word--just the high points.) "Dr. Charles Minor and all his kindred are descend from a Dutchman named Doodes Minor who was admitted to full citizenship in 1673 by an act of Assembly found in Hennings Statutes at Large, v.1 308. Along with four other compatriots, Maindort Doodes and his son Doodes Minor were Naturalized by an act of a Grand Assembly, holden in James City the 12 Sept. 1673. They were to have all rights and privileges including those of free traffique and trading that were allowed to any natural b. Englishman of the Colony. Maindort Doodes made his will in 1677 signed his name Maindort Doodes and named his son as Doodes Minor. There are some who believe Doodes Minor was an Englishman, but if so why should he be naturalized when coming to an English colony as Virginia was at that time. Maindort Doodes, a Dutch Sea Captain. His will was sealed with his signet ring bearing the impress of a Dutch Ship of the 17th Century. Doodes Minor, who married Elizabeth Cocke, settled on the Rappahannock and its waters in County of Middlesex. He had four sons, Garret Minor, Minor Minor, John Minor, and Peter Minor. Doodes son Peter was apprenticed by his mother Mrs. Elizabeth Minor to a Boston ship Capt John Phillips in 1677. He afterwards ran away from his Master and never came home. A letter from him to his brother Garret, written at Rotterdam, was in possession, I think of the second Garret's son Samuel 0. Minor. I once made a copy of this letter which was burned by a kinswoman, disliking the humble life in which it exhibited her collateral Ancestors. This book traces the desc. of Garrett Minor.

    1. Re: [WINN] A Gwynne/Winn Situation?
    2. jwynn
    3. Randy; I have an original copy of Sir John Wynn's book. Also have a book on Hugh Wynne. Once you can prove descent from royalty (any one royal) the work has usually been done. I'll include a couple of pages from "The 4 Wynns Newsletters" on the subjects you have broached. I tried to determine your line from the website but the link fails. Elizabeth Minor: (5) Editor: I belive the basic for the John Winn and Elizabeth Minor marriage is that it was known that John Winn married one Elizabeth Minor. This comes from an article title, "JOHN MINOR OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY VIRGINIA." No author given. this states in part, "It is only known that John Winn m.a Elizabeth Minor and because Elizabeth daughter of John Minor (Will of 1698) was the only Elizabeth Minor in that area at that time, she is belived to be the one." This genealogy begins by saying''John Minor b. in England, belived to be son of Ann nd Harry Mynors of Garway, England. Immigrated to VA. prior to 1627 with his widowed mother,and sister, Jane Kidwalider wife of John Kidwalider." THE COMPLETE BOOK OF EMIGRANTS, by Peter Coldham, which covers the period between 1607-1660 of Va., does not list any Minor, any spelling having came to Va. during that period, neither does it list a Jane and John Kidwalider. It does list on page 465 a Jane and John Kidwillar. Dated 1 Aug 1660. ''The following bound to John Woory, merchant to serve in Nevis, John Kidwillar, yeoman for 5 years. Jane Kidwillar, spinster for 5 years."It is difficult to belive had the Minors been in Va. prior to 1627 that they would have not showed up in some of the many records covered in this book. Richard Winns children, son of John Winn and Elizabeth Minor, were born in Middlesex County. My point is, doesn't it seem possible that Elizabeth Minor could have been the daughter of many of the other Minors in that area of Middlesex? There was a family of Minors who settled there ca 1673. Ref: John B Minor, THE MINOR FAMILY OF VIRGINIA, (1923) In his preface he states,"In an old Bible which belonged to my father Dr. Charles Minor, and which is now in my possession, he wrote the following memorandum in 1853". (And here I will not take word for word just the high points.) "Dr. Charles Minor and all his kindred are descend from a Dutchman named Doodes Minor who was admitted to full citizenship in 1673 by an act of Assembly found in "Hennings Statutes at Large." v.1 308. Along with four other compatriots Maindort Doodes and his son Doodes Minor were Naturalized by an act of a Grand Assembly, holden in James City the 12 Sept. 1673. They were to have all rights and privileges including those of free traffique and trading that were allowed to any natural b. Englishman of the Colony. Maindort Doodes made his will 1677 signed his name Maindort Doodes and named his son as Doodes Minor. There are some who belive Doodes Minor was an Englishman, but if so why should he be naturalized when coming to an English colony as Virginia was at that time? Maindort Doodes, a Dutch Sea Captain. His will was sealed with his signet ring bearing the impress of a Dutch Ship of the 17th Century. Doodes Minor, who married Elizabeth Cocke, settled on the Rappahannock and its waters in County of tfiddlesex. He had four sons, Garret Minor, Minor Minor, John Minor, and Peter Minor. Doodes son Peter was apprenticed by his mother Mrs. Elizabeth Minor to a Boston ship Capt John Phillips in 1677. He afterwards ran away from his Master and never came home. A letter from him to his brother Garret, written at Rotterdam, was in possesssion, I think of the second Garret's son Samuel 0. Minor. I once made a copy of this letter which was burned by a kinswoman. dislikinq the humble life in which it exhibited her collateral Ancestors.

    3. Dear Randy, It's hard to know where to start in responding to your plea. But I fear you have fallen prey to a trap common to those beginning to look into the "Wynnes" (Winn, Wynn, Gwinn, etc.). Sir John's book is a famous and historic tome, and he was a notable figure in his own time but, altho he had ten (legitimate) children, he had no direct descendant lines. And no desc. who ever came to America, even tho you will find various books speculating that one of Sir John's sons, Owen Wynne, did have desc. who came to Va. and even that Owen came but returned to Wales --- not so. Owen Wynne lived and died in Wales. You need to know that research is still very much needed to establish the links of a number of Winn/Wynnes to their English and Welsh origins, and also that some such links have been well documented. If you want other Winn/Wynne folks to help, you'll have to give us a starting point for your particular family line. Who is the earliest Winn/Wynne from whom you can prove descent? Where and when did he live? I am attaching an info piece I did to help clarify some of the confusions that have become all too common --- Wynne mythtakes, I call them. Good luck in your search.

    3. Jack, Thank you for your response and the information. I will analyze what you have provided and see if it helps. Yes, my site is in limbo and I'm not sure where my line goes right now as I'm beginning to question so much of what I was given. But, isn't that an essential attitude under the circumstances? Hopefully, I can at least tighten up my own direct ancestors before looking to tie them to Wales. I've seen enough mistakes and the propagation of bad info to become really sensitive to the quality of information. In order to use 4 Wynns Newsletters as sources, I'd like to know who wrote it, when, and what sources were used, and how to direct others to it. Otherwise, it is really a source? I hope to hear from you from time to time along my course this winter to take advantage of your insights in this area.

    1. [WINN] A Gwynne/Winn Situation?
    2. Randy
    3. I know that the information I now have on my website: http://www.ancestor-rescue.com/Winn/index.htm is full of errors and I humbly submit the following observations/opinions knowing there are some people that have put a lot more time and effort into the Winn/Winne/Wynn/Wynne/Gwynne family than I have and will always know more than I do about much of the lineage and history. I am trying to establish sources for my Winn line and to make my website a helpful tool in finding and linking all the many family relations. I want to eventually have a link to everything of personal interest (to my relatives) that I don't cover in my site. And to have a useable reference that will help and not confuse others in tying to their lines. I have thought it best to do it in two parts: a.. GWYNNE: All those ancestors before immigration to America (assuming the move was around the 1600s). There seem to be many versions of the Wynne/Wynn lines in the 17th and 18th centuries. It would be nice, if possible, to establish a strawman version to work off of with links to other versions where warranted. I found an amazing book on Google Books: The History of the Gwydir Family http://books.google.com/books?id=DCoAAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA62&dq=gwydir&lr=#v=onepage&q=&f=false It a book written in the 1600 by Sir John Wynn (updated 1878 by Askew Roberts) with manuscripts found at Winnstay. I put much of the genealogy into my database program and plan to make a GEDCOM file corresponding to this book and it's lineage. I thought I would convert this to what will become the GWYNNE website a.. WINN: Everything since down to my mother, Beatrice Winn http://www.ancestor-rescue.com/Bea/index.htm For this I will use what I have collected over the years, trying to cover as many ancillary lines as possible (maybe, in some cases, only mentioning I have additional info not on the site itself). If I can tie one to the other (GWYNNE--WINN), I will but I don't want to assume the ties as has been done in the past. I don't subscribe to the immigration, census, etc. data so I can't use that to pin down immigration and sort through the Virginia Winns. What I am asking my many cousins is weather I'm wasting my time and this already exists or it is impractical for some reason I haven't thought of. And, if there is a way to do this without starting from scratch or using the wrong data, I really could use some help. In my research so far, I found Wiki to be an incredible storehouse of well-presented information. Randy C. Smart

    3. David- My original response to your message does not appear in sent messages file so I am resending the attached file as a recommendation for a "Southern Winn" sightseeing through North Wales. Gwydir Uchaf and Rug is the epicenter for Wynn's in the Gwydir line. I suggest enquiring with the staff at the Gwydir B&B to make arraignments to Gwydir Uchaf beforehand. I believe there is a mable tablet setting forth the descent of the Gwydir Wynn's to the "Last right heir of the crown of the Prince of Wales" in the chapel [well worth a photo]. Also, the Gwydir Wynn's were rather late to assume the surname Wynn ca 1525 as the surname had been in use since the 12th C. Don't know if you will have a chance to visit the West Riding of Yorkshire but Nostell Priory is a must see for any Wynn descendant. -Robert On Wed, 4 Nov 2009 13:18:51 -0600 "David Winn" <dwinn@cailaw.org> wrote: > > Hi Robert, > > I wish I could help but I'm a rookie at all this. > > Happy hunting, > > David > > > -----Original Message----- >From: Robert Morefield [mailto:robertmorefield@yahoo.com] > Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 10:43 AM > To: winn@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [WINN] Gwynedd > > Hello David, > > May I ask a question?
