On 21 Jun 1727 William Hatchell and his attorney Henry Jenkins paid bond as security for Sarah Winn, administratrix of Thomas Winn's estate (Wills and Administrations of Elizabeth City County, Virginia by Chapman, Book 1704-1730, p. 103). I do not know the connection between William Hatchell and Thomas Winn and his wife Sarah although no doubt it could be helpful.
At about the same time in adjacent York County, John Wynne married Lucy Hill ca 1728 and had issue: Lucy, Anne, Edmund T. and Thomas. Of these, son Thomas married a Miss Harwood and had Humphrey Harwood Wynne, born ca 1800 in York Co. John Wynne died in 1772, York County. Prior to her marriage to John, Lucy Hill was the widow __ Toplis (an early York Co. family). It would appear (no proof) that John may have been a son of a Thomas Wynne who died in 1694, York County and who m. Dorothy Hinde/Hines.
No one has been able to link John Wynne of York County to Thomas Winn of adjacent Elizabeth City, and for all I know, these two adjacent Wynn/Winn families may represent the two main lines of Wynn/Winn mentioned in message #1388 by Michelle Taunton, 7 Jan 2002: descendants of Robert Wynne the immigrant from Canterbury, Kent, England to Charles City County, Virginia, and the other, descendants of the Minor Winn line that came over from Wales and connected to Westmoreland County, Virginia.
Can any Wynn/Winn researchers out there help sort out these two families? They lived within a 5-mile radius in the early 1700s around the juncture of the York-Warwick-Elizabeth City county lines on the Virginia Peninsula, yet may not have been related.
I don't know if Michelle Taunton is still posting to this or other forums, but perhaps she might be able to add to this as well.
