My brick wall is John Wynn (Wynne) who had children Mary A. about 1800, Susan about 1805, Thomas J about 1811, Archibald about 1812 and Virginia Ann born 1826 all in or around Dinwiddie County. Who was the mother of these children? What I know: his estate is mentioned in the will of Jedidiah Atkinson (1833) who married Virginia. Supposedly John had an estate on Halifax Road and burials were done on that property. I have been unable to locate this property. In this will John Wynn is referred to as Capt. John Wynn. The will lists as property Interest in the Estate of Capt. J. Wynn deceased of $1000.00. In 1831 in Hustings Court, Edward Powell and Susan Wynn (administrator of John Wynn) were ordered to lay their accounts for the administration of decendents estate. Cash paid for various items for the children: Mary, Robert, Susan, Thomas, Archer. Susan Wynn married Edward Powell after the death of John. (Courtesy of Dorothy Tuttle) John died in 1829. He may have served in the War of 1812 which could explain the span of time between the birth of Archibald and Virginia. Or, Virginia could be the child of another mother, name unknown. In 1815, John Wynn is listed as having an estate along Birchin Creek, 17 miles SW of the Dinwiddie Courthouse. He is also listed as having land on the brances of Old Town Run, 13 miles NE of the Dinwiddie Courthouse. There is a second John Wynne listed as having land along Stoney Creek. I believe this John Wynne is related. His parents were Robert Wynn Sr and Lucretia Malone. Both of these families in 1815 lived in the area of Dinwiddie which was formed from Prince George County along the Stoney Creek.
