About Major Robert Wynne
Additional Curator's Notes:
DO NOT CONFUSE this Robert Wynne with the Robert Wynne who was christened 22 December 1622 (60 years before the birth of this Robert Wynne). There are many similar names and locations for the two families. Maria Edmonds-Zediker, Volunteer Curator, 8/22/2011
Robert Wynne was born c. June 1685 and died July 23, 1754 in Albemarle Parish, Sussex Co., Virginia. He was the son of Capt. Thomas Wynne and wife Agnes Jane Stith. He was mentioned in his father's will, named as executor.
Thomas and Robert Wynne appear in the Surry County Deed Book, p. 609, when Robert transfers 100 acres of land along Stoney Creek to Thomas.
Robert and wife Martha appear in Prince George County Wills & Deeds, 1713-28, pp 222, 224, selling two tracts of land in Prince George County.
Robert is found in MARRIAGE RECORDS OF BRUNSWICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA, 1730-1852, when he married the widow Mary Phillipson on Aug. 9, 1753. Mary is again mentioned in his will, dated 1754, listing what she will inherit if she has cleared other debts before the estate is settled.
