Hi everybody--I have another poser for you before I lose my mind--I am trying to find out which Thomas Wynne and wife belong to William WYNNE Sr. and Frances also which Thomas belongs to him. I have a Thomas Wynne (1724) married to Mary Echols--I have a son for them as Thomas Marion Wynne (b1780) married to Nancy Agee--Ok, so far? Now all of a sudden I have a thomas ( b1745) married to a Lucy Mary Redding-This Thomas also has Thomas and Mary Echol as parents. Dates don't match and neither do places. There are totally different families listed. Can any one help?? Carol Winn Ott

I did not research the Wynn family of Wilkes County GA for a long time because of these published genealogies. But... everything kept bring me back to Wilkes County. We have letters that were written in the 1915 - 1918 era from a Richard Adam Wynn to Franklin Wynn of Blount County Alabama. We know that Frank was a member of our family. In these letters Richard discusses the fact that these two gentlemen are first cousins. We have no idea what Uncle Frank was writing to Richard, but the tone of the letters show that Frank disagreed. Richard listed their grandparents as Tom Wynn and Nancy Agee. They told that the family was raised in Burke County NC. Several of the children were mentioned, and the fact that it was a large family, and that several of the boys were killed in the Civil War. I have been able to track and prove all the children mentioned in the letters. Also found Thomas Winn in Burke County NC in 1820, however I have been unable to locate him anywhere else after that. (And neither has our friend Jack <g>) The letters give our Thomas Wynn's middle name as Marion. Thomas Marion Wynn. There is an announcment in the newspaper from Washington, Wilkes County, GA on January 14, 1806 that says "Thomas Wynn married Miss Agee, both of Wilkes County." Now we know that 'a' Thomas Wynn married a Miss Agee in Wilkes County sometime before January 14, 1806. Our Thomas Marion Wynn and Nancy Agee's first son was supposedly born on December 13, 1806. They named him William Booker Wynn. William Booker was a son in law to Thomas and Mary Echols Wynn. We know that the Agee family lived in the same district in Wilkes County as Thomas Wynn and Mary Echols. I believe that from the Tax Records that Obediah, Thomas and Mary Wynn's son owned a track of land next door to the Agee's. The records are not in order of the location in the district, however several mention neighbors in the descriptions. The location of the Wynn property and the Agee property are close enough that they were neighbors, and with all probability knew each other. I believe that our Thomas Marion Wynn was the son of Thomas Wynn and Mary Echols. Since there is such a age difference in Thomas Wynn and Nancy Agee's ages, I am almost sure this is not the first marriage for Thomas. You can see my tree at this location. This is one mystery that I wish could be solved. If my Thomas Marion Wynn is not the son of Thomas Wynn and Mary Echols, I would like to find where he belongs. He has wondered around long enough. <gbg> http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=gagenie&id=I96 Any help from anyone would be appreciated. Wyndell Taylor > >
