Myles, Great! I have looked and looked in Westmoreland to find a John Winn in any Court Records. One record for John Minor that, also, helps : Westmoreland Co VA Deeds Patents Etc. 1655-1677, Part 3, pag. 46 (Dorman): page 247a John Minor, aged 24 years or thereabouts ... signed John Minor (5 Jan 1675/76). This court record supports your info that John and Ellenor married about 1670-80 and that Elizabeth Minor was probably not born until 1680. Thanks for pointing out that William Avery Miner knew that there was no documented proof that a John Winn married Elizabeth Minor nor any of the other Winn info that he included in his book/article on John Minor. Thanks again for sharing your info.
