Minutes of Radnor Monthly Meeting: Including Merion, Haverford, &c., 1684-1733 Att our Monthly Meeting held at Haverford Meeting House 8th of ye 11th Month 1712. 2dly It is desired that the Overseers of Meirion meeting Continue their care in relation to Jonathan Wynne. Becky's note: I put this with Jonathan Wynne b. 1669 d. 2/28/1720 simply because I can find no other Jonathan Wynne that was alive in the area.... Now this puzzles me as Sarah Greaves Wynne lived for 20 more years... so... why would they need to care for him? Who else could this belong to?

Hi, I kept this email for awhile to ponder what it might mean. First, we should be cautious about what "care" means - is there anyway to find out what the duties of Quaker Overseers were at this time? Two, do we have a copy of Jonathan's will? When was it written, and what does it say about "being weak of body, but sound of mind???? Jonathan was about 42 when this note from Merion was written. Mystery!

Dear Rainy Cuz Vi, As he died 8 years after this note in the minutes, I don't think it applied to his health, I wouldn't think.. maybe, maybe not. I did ask Mary Wood about it, she is from the Merion Meeting.. she said usually that term "care" is used if there is a financial need, as in contributing so they had food or home to live in.. but that doesn't apply to Jonathan as he had means and so did the next couple of generations... She also said it was used if a member had been ill, and they tried to help as in working fields or things of that sort that he could not do but would effect the family's well being. Well, ok he could have been sick? There is soooo little on Jonathan it is a bit frustrating but again he didn't die for 8 more years. I don't know of any other Jonathan Wynne...... UNLESS.... [Connie you listening???] would it be the mysterious John Wynne, Dr. Thomas Wynne's brother? He would have been 87 years old in 1712.. he was born 1625 [two years older than Dr. T]. But wouldn't that be very unusual for that time for a life span of 87 years? ...But... didn't one of the Humphrey's live to their eighties?.... Hummmm.... The only other John Wynne that I know of is Jonathan Wynne/Sarah Greaves son John Wynne he would have been 15 years old at the time..but that doesn't seem like something that would be put in the minutes if it was a kid's illness. Wonder Wonder, Mystery in deed.
