(2.) Joshua Wynne married Mary Margaret Jones

(3.) William Wynne married Frances Reade

(5.) Thomas Wynne II (b. 1745, Dinwiddie Co., Va.; d. April 27, 1807, Hancock Co. Ga.) married (Va.) Lucy or Mary Redding (d. February 12, 1807, Hancock Co. Ga.)

(6.) Thomas Wynn III (b. 1766, Va.; d. 1862, Ga.) married (before 1794, Va.) (1) Mary Sturdivant (b. Va.; d. before 1822, Ga.)

(11.) Earl H. Gordon married Lois Marie Schovajsa

(12.) Randy E. Gordon

Yes, through Thomas Wynn III twice. It seems as if Gabriel Franklin Wynn married the daughter of his half-sister, Martha Wynn Thomas.

My interest is finding information on the spouses of these ancestors:

Frances Reade - Does anyone have information as to who her parents were? Was she related to Clement Reade who in 1745 patented 36,000 acres of land with William Wynne?

Lucy or Mary Redding - Does anyone know anything thing about her or her parents? I don’t know anything about her or her social stature but the information which I have on this family does not coincide with what is reported in Milner Echol’s Echols family history.

Mary Sturdivant (1st wife of Thomas Wynn III) - All I know of her is that she had about 12 children by Thomas before she died. Any information on her?

William W. Thomas - the only information that I have on him is his wedding date. He must have died before 1850. In 1850, Martha, Emily, and Mary Ann Thomas lived with Thomas Wynn and his wife, Nancy, in Monroe County, Georgia.

Emily Thomas - I think that she was the daughter of Martha Wynn and William W. Thomas. In 1850, she was with her mother, Martha, in Monroe County, Georgia. She married Gabriel Wynn in Jan. 1855. Their 1st child was born in Mississippi. Their last child was born in Arkansas. In the early 1880's they were still in Arkansas but moved to Texas soon after.

Any information on these "dead ends" would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would like to compare notes on some of these lines. I have quite a lot of Wynne information which I don’t mind sharing.

Thank you,
