Alpha Papers Vol. III, No 1 Jan - Feb 1981 page 12 The Pennsylvania Magazine or History and Biography Vol XVII page 230 Notes and Queries Notes and Queries Notes to the Editor of the The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography. I wish to give word of advice to those of your readers who may be interested in preparing genealogical charts, to be careful in their research to prove the various lines of descent they may be hunting up by means of wills, church registers, and other reliable sources, before submitting the result to the printer's hands. An example of lack of throughness in research may be found in an account of Dr. Thomas Wynne, the early Philadelphia Physician, who died in 1692. The article in question is on page 662 of Part II, for the year 1882 of the Magazine of American History. In it the writer states that Dr. Wynne was son of Peter Wynne, of Leewood and the Tower, and that the latter was the fifth son of Sir John Wynn, of Gwydir; further, that he entered the Royal College of Surgeons, at London, and that he married Mary Bultall oor Bulteel, daughter of Samuel Bultall, a younger son of James Bulteel, of Fleet, County Devon, by the latter's wife, Mary, daughter and sole heir of Courtney Croker, of Lyncham, County Devon. Now, the Wynns of the Tower and those of Gwydir were distinct and separate families [see Lewis Dwnn's "Welsh Visitations"]. Sir John Wynn, in his admirable "History of the Gwydir Family." does not mention having a son Peter. After a careful search through the books of both the Royal College of Surgeons as well as those of the Royal College of Physicians, the name of Thomas Wynne could not be found during the period mentioned, - 1650 to 1660. James Bulteel, who married Mary, daughter of Courtney Crocker, and who is stated to have been the grandfather of Mary, the wife of Thomas Wynne, was an M. P. for Tavistock. He died 19th May, 1756, aged eighty, making the year of his birth 1676, some thirty years after the approximate time of the birth of Dr. Wynne's wife, - making her a wonderful freak, which at this fin de sieele realistic age would cause, if she were alive, thousands to come many miles to see a woman born before her grandfather. A member of the Bulteel family has kindly looked the matter up for me from his own family papers and from the church registers and Quaker Meeting records. Being myself a descendant of Dr. Wynne, I am anxious to have a correct account of his ancestry. This led me to investigate the statement made in the Magazine of American History, which after considerable time, has brought the results mentioned. Howard Williams Lloyd.
