    1. Re: [WINN] Winn of Hanover County, Virginia, and Middlesex County, Virginia
    2. Ken, You got me interested in Baylor Winn and I just got back from the library where I checked out William Johnson's Nathez. 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.
