Genealogy of Welsh WynnesA Little About The Wynne Name

Origin: Welsh

Spelling Variations: Wynne, Wynn, Wyn, Winne, Winn, Win, Gwinn, Gwinne, Gwynne, Gwynn, and many more.

First found in Garvarnonshire, Wales, were they held a family seat from ancient times.

Other notable items: The ancient term of "ap" means "Son of", "ferch" means "Daughter of". Also, "Cynwrig" translates to "Kendrick". At the moment, I'm unsure as to why the surname of "Wynne" stuck but eventually the family adopted this spelling and kept it to modern times.

Many Welsh joined the great migrations to North America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Like their Scottish and Irish neighbors, many Welsh families left their homeland hoping to find hope and prosperity in a land that the English did not exercise a tight rule over. The English were systematically murdering the Irish, Welsh and others considered 'inferior' by starving them out and other tactics. Those Welsh immigrants that successfully traveled to North America went on to make significant contributions to the rapid development of both Canada and the United States in terms of the settling of land and the establishment of industry. They also added to the rich cultural heritage of both countries.

An examination into the immigration and passenger lists has discovered a number of people bearing the name Wynne or various spellings:

Welsh Wynne: Name adopted by Welsh

Meaning is: Dweller at or near a wynd (narrow street in a town); descendant of Gwynn (fair)
In the sixteenth century, under pressure from the English to adopt identifiable surnames that could be passed from father to son, many Welsh families began the process of identifying themselves by family names usually chosen from the name of an ancestor. As a result of this process, there are a number of Welsh families which chose to refer to themselves as Wynnes which are unrelated to each other. Formerly individuals had identified themselves by Ap=son of or Verch, also ferch,=daughter of.

We are concerned only with Wynnes who trace their descent from Harri ap Cynwrig WYNNE (see genealogy which follows) whose American descendants trace their descent from the Quaker Physician who came from Caerwys, Flintshire, Wales to Pennsylvannia on the Welcome with William Penn in 1682.

DNA studies have established that there is no relationship between the Southern Wynn or Winn family, one of whom came to Jamestown from England.

JONATHAN WYNN III.

JONATHAN WYNN, grandson of Jonathan Wynne of Blockley, bought in 1774 the farm known as Marsh Farm, located along the Conestoga pike, in East Nantmel township, Chester county, PA., consisting of 188 acres and 144 rods. He made the purchase of Thomas Penn, the son, and John Penn, the grandson, of William Penn, the founder of the Colony. The farmhouse was partly of stone and partly of wood; it sets on an elevation above the road, and in the side of a hill; a considerable portion of the farm was lowland and swampy, but Mr. Wynne cut a large ditch through this part, draining into Brandywine Creek, the waters of which flow past the battlefield of the famous Revolutionary battle of Brandywine. He also built a stone wall about the house, which still remains. He married Miss Letitia Hewitt. He had quite a large family, comprising the following children: Mary, Rachel, Ann, Jennie, Susan, Lettie, John and Jonathan. Of these, Lettie and Jonathan Died during their minority. Rachel Wynn married Hugh Huston, and they shortly after wards moved to the neighborhood of Circleville, Ohio. Their children were Eliza Ann, Susan, Mary Jane, Franklin and Martin Luther. We have no trace of these children, except for Eliza Ann, who married a Mr. Austen and moved to Belton, Texas, where her mother joined her after the death of her husband, Mr. Huston. Rachel died in 1866, and lies buried in the cemetery at Belton. All her children are dead at this date. Mrs. Austen had seven children: Henry, Franklin, Martin Luther, George N., Charles H., Hugh and William T., all of whom are living in Texas.
Mrs. Estella Williams of Fort Worth, Texas, is a daughter of Mary Jane Huston Hull, who was the daughter of Rachel Wynne and Hugh Huston. Mary, another daughter of Mary Jane, was married and lived in Urbana, Ill. She is now dead, but left issue.
