Paul, you are correct about that info. The Baylor descendants live in Texas. They sent me a list of Winn names in King William in the early 1800s. Those were apparently used in the trial. However, all of them were listed as mulatto. Even so, Baylor, according to the trial was Indian and White. No one knows the whole truth. On that list of names is William. Also, Gloucester and Miles, both very close in age, both being born between 1810 and 1825, You might be right, they could be sons of William. Not sure. We will find out one day.

In Baylor's trial, for killing William Johnson, there was a lot of testimony about Baylor's heritage. The prosecutors key witness was "negro" and under Misssissippi law a "negro" could not testify agaist a white. So they were tyring to prove Baylor was mulato. It says that during the trial "tow witnesses testified that he was of white and Indian blood, oe of them stating that "the admixture of Indian blood in Winn was from an Indian tribe in Virginia, called Pamunkey, ... while the other name the remnant as being the Mataponi. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
