The most interesting data for this Wynne line with respect to Virginia colonist emigrant data points are to be found in the "Court Books of the Virginia Co. of London" edited by Susan Myra Kingsbury in the 1930's, 4 Vols. The St. Oswald citations begin with George Wynne, Draper Eliz. I, as an owner of 37 & 10s of VA Co Stock and later paid 62 and 10s or 5 shares of VA Co. stock inherited by his son Edmund on his death in 1610. (see Brown's "Genesis of America" p. 1055, Vo. II, pub. 1890. The VA Court books end with the last reference for Wynn refering to land bordering the James where a pale or fence was to begin extending to the York River after the Indian Massacre. Here I have often wondered if this was a reference to the "particular plantation" granted to Edmund Wynne in 1619. The location would have been within Martin's Hundred and consistent with a collaboration with the other London merchants who joined land patents to form this ! venture. For the most complete treatment of this line see "Pedigees of the County Families of Yorkshire" by Foster, pub. 1876 in which the coat of arms and pedigrees for the Lords St. Oswald and Headley [both titles devolved from George Wynne the first grantee of arms in 1603]. This publication describes and expands this line by a factor of four more than any of the visitations or accounting in any of the Burkes publications. If you want the most complete account of the land the Wynne's owned; first Little Warley, then Nostell Priory I would contact the National Trust via e-mail and request a copy of the booklet "Nostell Priory - Yorkshire". The booklet has a fair pedigree at the back but describes the property and artifacts authoritatively while giving a good account of the Wynne's and thier acquistition of Nostell. With Burke it's important to remember they only recorded the pedigrees of living persons who had right to Royal birth, noble title or landed gentry. The extinct lines were either not mentioned in the first publication or dropped off as the titles became extinct. Though there are publications that deal with extinct titles they are rarely complete. It sounds as if you are interested in Wynne's of noble or Royal birth? You might find the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos of some interest as in the maternal line this peerage is the peerage of highest distinction attained by Wynne.
