hi sally good site by the way I am the gggg grandson of watkins william wynns &ggg grandson of thomas wynns& gg grandson of burrel wynn& g grandson of thomas wesly wynn & grandson of ed wynn & son of harold wayne wynn

there was two thomas wesly wynn, one was a son of thomas wynn. one was son of burrel wynn.
burrel wynn was another son of thomas wynn.
burrel wynn had 9 kids + 1 stepson burrel wynn was married 2 times, he was born in 1809 in stewart co tennesse and died in benton co tennesse in1892 . seems as thought
when burrel moved across the tennesse river to benton co he dropped the s
off wynns. his son t. w. wynn was born in 1861 & died in 1906 , both are
buried at faxon tennesse burrel in wynn cemetery in benton co and tw wynn
in lindsey cemetery half mile away, both are about 6 miles from wynn
cemetery in stewart co where thomas wynn is buried.

e-mail from Sandra 1/08/12
I must tell you strait away this some of your facts are very wrong for instance Burrell Winn Wynn is not retarded to Thomas Wynns of NC as his father was born in SC and these people never lived in This area of the river . Please look at the printed papers of Stewart co no son named Burrell no such son at at all even if you thy to him Arcilbald . because there is Archinald not even the same person please do real genealogy get this off the web so that people such as myself my find my real family.

The puzzle is that Nancy Wynn Clark is not named as a daughter in the will, but is named as a daughter in the deed. Both documents were made the same day. Baldy Brown was witness to the deed and executor to the will. Henry Best was witness to both. It appears that father, John, gave Nancy her inheritance that day and the other members of the family at his death; therefore Nancy was not named in the will.
It appears that my Nancy was Daniel Wynns’ Nancy Caroline’s first cousin and that Nancy W. Clark was daughter of Daniel’s brother, John.
