I found a couple of references to Robert Wynne as the Uncle of the John Wynne of Gwydir. Unfortunately, I did not get any sources for this section. Does anyone have this?

A son was: "Captain Thomas Wynne, born 1590/92, died 1625; came to Virginia, 1611, with his kinsman, Owen Wynne; married probably Dorothy Hines (?Vines) and received large tracts of land in York and Warwick counties.
