We've had your Richard Winn whose family stayed in Virginia mixed up with ours several times. There are (at least) two Richard Winns of the Revolution ... the one who died in Maury County TN is my ancestor (m. Priscilla McKinney) ... we just recently found his actual burial spot ... The grave marker bearing his name (displayed in pictures) is just a memorial that is now lost, probably stolen from the main cemetery at Columbia Tennessee. He, his wife Priscilla, and son Samuel are buried together on the 5,000 acre tract that he died on east of Columbia at a town, formerly "Blocker's Shop," now "Sawdust." Altough my Richard was born in Virginia, he settled early on in South Carolina with two brothers. He then moved to Maury County with his daugher Priscilla and son-in-law Elijah Blocker when he received a 5,000 acre tract for surveying and/or service in the Rev. (The Blockers were from Edgefield, South Carolina).

Lydia, daughter of General Winn, is an ancestor of mine. She was born in 1812. We are trying to track down a General Winn, assuming he was in Virginia, where she was reportedly born, and as per family stories. I am unable to find Lydia Winn/Wynn's siblings as well. Perhaps the family did move to Tenn and the Carolinas. I was aware of Winnsboro but wasn't sure we were connected to that particular family. > Thank you again. > > ______________________________
