• Notes

  This was found online. I am adding it in attempt to clarify the Joshua's in our Agee line. The Agee Register is completely wrong about this line of Agees. I'm a direct dicendant of Joshua Hawks Agee and have spent several years trying to clear this up. Joshua Hawks Agee first moved to Wilkes Co. Ga in 1795 and was give two draws for land by the state. His son, Humphrey E. Agee. Sr was over 21 and single and received one draw of land. Agter a while Joshua moved to lincoln Co. Ga. His wife died there and I supposed is buried there. Then Joshua moved back to wilkes Co. and died. He is buried in the Washington,Wiles Co. Cemetary in apauper's grave with no marker. I spent monthes trring to locate the grave but to no avail. The other joshua Agee that people get confused with the first Joshua Hawks Agee is his greatgrandson. In 1861 he left Wilkes Co. and followed the Wiregrass Trail down to what is now Lowndes and Clinch Co. right on the Ga/Fl. line. The William Washington that was mentioned is the son of the second joshua agee. Joshua Hawks dtr Nancy Wynn This is not an attempt to set forth the entire Wynne-Wynn-Winn Genealogy, as there have been many volumes written on the subject, but only to recreate my connection to this lineage. First of all, it is appropriate to note my lineage up to the point where the Winn line enters my direct lineage. It is as follows: I am the third child and only daughter of Marvin Benjamin Brand and Hazel Alene Standridge, born September 21, 1937 in Farwell, Parmer Co. TX. Marvin Benjamin Brand, born 2 Feb 1912, in Alvarado, Johnson County, Texas, died 26 May 1995 in Lodi, California, was the fourth child of Nathan Jesse Brand and Ollie Neona Lloyd. Nathan Jesse Brand, born 20 Nov 1882 in Cherokee County, Georgia, died 29 Aug 1961 in Clovis, New Mexico, was the fifth child born to Robert Mathis Cleveland Brand (RMC) and Melissa Jane Moore. Robert M. C. Brand (RMC), born 3 March 1843 in Cherokee County, GA, died 25 February 1933 in Grandview, Johnson County, Texas and was the sixth child born to Jonas Brand and his second wife Harriet Winn. This is where the Winn line enters the Brand line. Harriet Winn had many brothers and sisters, to name only a few: George Washington Winn, William Booker Wynn, Clemmon Quillian Wynn, Mary Melissa Wynn Trewhitt (wife of Judge Trewhitt in Hamilton County, Tennessee), Elmyra Wynn Fincher and about a dozen more I do not have information on. Harriet Winn was born on 18 November 1810 in Burke County, North Carolina. She died 21 June 1877 in Cherokee County, Georgia and is buried in Shiloh Methodist Cemetery in Walton County, Georgia near the small town of Loganville, Georgia. She gave birth to twelve children, they were 1) Isaiah Brand, 2) Jeremiah D. "Doc" Brand, 3) Joseph N. Brand, 4) Jonas Washington "Wash" Brand, 5) Nancy Amanda Brand, 6) Robert Mathis Cleveland Brand, 7) Nathan Hamilton Brand, 8) John Goodman Brand, 9) Sarah Harriet Brand, 10) Rebecca A. Brand, 11) Margaret Jane Brand, 12) Pricilla Ann Brand. Harriet Winn’s father was Thomas Marion Wynn also known as Thomas Wynn Jr. By all estimates he was born between 1775 and 1785. Thomas Marion Wynn married Nancy Agee in Wilkes County, Georgia in 1806. The Agee line is the French Connection to the family and well-documented (see "The Agee Register"), also the well known Bonduarant line back to the Huguenots enters the Agee Line. Nancy Agee was the daughter of Joshua Agee and Sarah Ann Bonduarant. Joshua Agee was born 4 Jan 1757 in Buckingham County, Virginia and died December 1837 in Wilkes County, Georgia. Sarah Ann Bonduarant died in 1835 and was the daughter of Peter and Amy Bonduarant. Joshua Agee was the son of Anthony Agee and Christian Worley (see below for more on her line). Anthony Agee was born about 1719 in Manakin, Goochland County, Virginia and died about 1800. Anthony Agee and Christian Worley married 1 May 1751 in Cumberland County, Virginia. Anthony Agee was the son of Mathieu Agee and Ann Gandovin [or Godwin]. Ann was the daughter of Isaac and Ann Gandovin [or Godwin]. Mathieu Agee was the son of Anthony Agee and Judith Chastain. Anthony was born in 1650 in Nantes, LaRochelle, France and Judith was born about 1650 near Nantes, LaRochelle, France. Christian Worley, wife of Anthony Agee was born in 1727 in Manakin, Goochland County, Virginia and died in 1815 in Buckingham County Virginia. She was the daughter of John Worley and Esther Blount. John was born in Virginia, died in Cumberland County, Virginia, the son of Edward and Mary Worley. Esther was born 17 Mar 1703 and died in Virginia, the daughter of John Blount (born 17 Oct 1670 in Virginia) and Elizabeth Davis. There is no record of Thomas Marion Wynn’s death. In fact, as the family story goes, he owned a gold mine in north Georgia, and one Saturday morning he left home to go to the assay office to sell some of the (or all of the) gold he had, and was never heard from again. The family thought he was killed for the gold, as Cherokee County at the time was almost a wilderness, but the body was never found. There was even some speculation that he took the gold and just "went over the mountain" to start a new family. This seems highly unlikely as he was 70 years of age or better at the time. The story may have some validity because Wyndell Taylor is in possession of a map of Cherokee County, Georgia that was made 12 years after his Great-Great-Great Grandfather George Washington Wynn left Cherokee County, Georgia for Cherokee County, Alabama. On this map, at the location of the 3.5 land lots that George Washington Wynn sold prior to his leaving is listed the "Old Dupree Mine". Harriet’s Grandfather was Thomas Wynn Sr. from Wilkes County, Georgia, who married Mary Echols. Thomas Wynn St. was the son of Major Joshua Wynne. Major Joshua Wynne, Harriet’s Great Grandfather, was the youngest son of Colonel Robert Wynne. Joshua was born in Charles City, Virginia in 1660. He was married to Mary Jones, daughter of Captain Peter Jones and wife Margaret (Wood) Jones, daughter of the eminent Major General Abraham Wood, head of Virginia’s fur trade under Royal Governor Sir William Berkley. Joshua was overseer of the Berkley plantation during Bacon’s Rebellion, was a member of the Governor’s Council, and a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. After building Fort Henry in 1646, he and three other Virginians, two servants and a guide explored what someday would become Tennessee and Kentucky, and being the first Englishmen to set foot there. After this, Joshua lived in Prince George County, Virginia. On 29 March 1715 Major Joshua Wynne was shot and killed by Saponey Indians because one of Joshua’s servants had killed one of the Indian’s "great" men. Upon trial of the Indian, they pleaded that the Wynne’s were the aggressors and that they never rest without revenge. The Indians said that they and the Wynne’s were then equal, each having lost a great man. To avoid more bloodshed the Indian was pardoned. Joshua was an Indian interpreter and was said to be a fearless adventurer. He was a Justice in Charles City County, Virginia as well as Sheriff of Prince George County, Virginia. Colonel Robert Wynne, Joshua’s father, was the ancestor of all the Marion County, Tennessee Wynne’s. Robert Wynne was born on 28 December 1622 in Canterbury, County Kent, England. He migrated to the Virginia Colony in 1655. He was married in 1657 to Mary Frances (Sloman) Poythress by whom he had four children. Colonel Robert Wynne was speaker of the House of Burgesses and served longer than any man in Virginia’s history, from 13 March 1661 to 1675. Robert died on 8 October 1675. His will, dated 1 July 1675 and proved 15 August 1678 at Jordan S Parish or Charles City (now Prince George County) shows and estate in Canterbury, England of two houses and a farm, in addition to his 600-acre Virginia estate south of the James River. Peter Wynne, Colonel Robert Wynne’s father, was born on 25 November 1593 in County Kent, England. He was married 8 Dec 1620 to Martha Coppin who was born 1 June 1595 in England. Martha was the granddaughter of John Coppin, born in 1530 and a member of British Parliament 20 May 1581 and his wife Mary Denne. The Denne family is descended from the Vikings who invaded Normandy and who settled part of France then moved north to England, Scotland and Wales. Peter Wynne and Martha Coppin had two children: 1) Col. Robert Wynne, and 2) Sarah Wynne. Peter was freed from apprenticeship in 1626. Peter Wynne died on 30 May 1638 in Canterbury, County Kent, England. Peter Wynne’s father was Robert Wynne, born 1558 in Salop (now known as Shrewbury) England. He was a woolendraper. As a young man he was apprenticed to John Rose and was released from his indenture in 1590. By 1599 he was shown as Mayor of Canterbury, England. He and his wife Francis died of the Plague within 2 days of each other. Robert died 6 Oct 1609, and is buried at St. George’s Parish in Canterbury. Peter Wynne’s mother was Frances Wattmer, born in 1594 and died 8 Oct 1609 in Canterbury, County Kent, England. Francis was the daughter of William Wattmer (born 1535) and Johanna Hatch. William Wattmer was the son of William Watmoughe (1510-?) and Margaretta Sparkes. Francis’ father William Wattmer took the Wynne children to a house outside the city and procured a nurse for them. It was William who raised the children. Robert Wynne and Francis Wattmer had the following children: 1) Thomas Wynne, born 1580 in Canterbury, was freed from apprenticeship in 1612. He married his 1st wife Mary Wickham 20 Jul 1613 at Ospringe, England, and had one child. He married his 2nd wife Ann (?) Nichols, widow on 26 Oct 1629. 2) Peter Wynne, born 25 Nov 1593 in Canterbury, England, died 30 May 1638 and is buried at St. George’s Parish, Canterbury, England. Their children were Robert and Sarah Wynne. 3) Daughter, married Paul May. 4) Anne Wynne, married Roger Pey. They had at least two children. Attached to the end of this short Wynne-Wynn-Winn Genealogy is a copy of a hand written letter sent to me by my fourth Cousin Wyndell Taylor of Powder Springs, Georgia, on January 17, 1998. It was written by a Mr. Edward C. Fox on October 24, 1915. Mr. Fox was president of the United Secret Association of Detectives, incorporated under the state Laws of Ohio, with an office at that time at 128 Clarence Building, 612 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Fox was investigating heirs to "Estates and Property" of the Wynn family in the United States. This letter, though difficult to read, is reproduced below: Sir John Wynne. Baronet of Gwgdir [Glyndwr], born in 1553; died March 1, 1627. He succeeded to his father’s Estate in Wales in 1580; and in 1611 he was created a Baronet, in 1586 he was made a member of Parliament. And in 1606 he was made a Knight. He founded a Hospital, , a school. This ancient family can trace their pedigree in a straight male line through Roderick [Rhodri], Lord of Anglesay, son of Owain Gwgnedd [Gynedd], Prince of North Wales to Onaswd ( ?) King of North Wales, eldest son of Roderick [Rhodri Mawr], the great King of Wales. The latter succeeded to the principality of power and the Kingdom of Gwnedd, and South Wales. He was killed in 876. Our own great good Christian King Llwelyn [Llywelyn], the great King of Wales was slain December 11, 1282 near Bueth South Wales. His cousin King Edward I succeeded to the throne after Edward’s soldiers had killed Llwelyn [Llywelyn] in battle. Hence we see the foundation of the great English Nation was founded by our own people. If the throne had not have been confiscated by the other side of the house, I dare say that today the Wynne People would stand at the throne of England in the form of a King or Queen. I might say that even our present King George the V is distantly related, but the family branches off before reaching the House of Wynnes of Gwgdir[Glyndwr]. So they would not be in our family heirs to share in any of the Wynn Estates. Yours very truely Edward C. Fox Note: The wife of Edward C. Fox was a Wynne…hence his interest in the vast fortune left up for grabs in Wales. Reportedly worth $500,000,000 in 1915! Some additional information is necessary to understand the source of this Wynn history. As mentioned above, my Great-Great Grandmother was Harriet Winn, and her brother was George Washington Winn. This same George Washington Winn that enlisted in the Confederate Army with RMC. George Washington Winn Married Nancy Jane Kirk, whose brothers George W. Kirk and William A. Kirk also appear on the muster roll of Company B, 34th Regiment Gerogia Volunteer Infantry. Zacharaiah David Brand, RMC’s half brother who also fought in the 34th Georgia Regiment signed the pension application on Nancy Jane Kirk’s behalf, as did John McRae another future relative. Marcressa Cicero Wynn was the son on George Washington Winn and Nancy Jane Kirk. Marcressa married Sarah Elizabeth Mangum and had a son named Dilmus Jacob Wynn who married Nancy Elizabeth Underwood. Dilmus Jacob Wynn and Nancy Elizabeth Underwood had a daughter named Elsie Pearl Wynn who married Thomas Willard Taylor. The son of Thomas Willard Taylor and Elsie Pearl Wynn is my 4th cousin Wyndell Othella Taylor and the source of this Wynn history. Road Map I like to think of genealogy as a road map to the identity of my ancestors, and on all road maps, you will quickly notice many roads entering and exiting the main road, highway or freeway. Genealogically speaking, the main road or freeway would be my direct lineage, and with each prior (or successive) generation, you will encounter a different branch or road leading off in a new direction. I offer the reader a chance now to view this particular genealogy from a new perspective, a side road if you will, as any adventure off the main road tends to be more interesting than traveling the freeway. Now that the reader is familiar with the direct lineage to my Great Great Grandmother Harriet Winn, and her father Thomas Marion Wynn, and his father Thomas Wynn Sr., and his father Major Joshua Wynne, and his father Colonel Robert Wynne, let’s examine a side branch purely for the fun and adventure of it. Mary Wynne (1650-1707), daughter of Colonel Robert Wynne and the sister of Major Joshua Wynne, married John Woodliffe III John Woodliffe III (1650-1772) was Pastor in Prince George County, Virginia in 1689. He was the son of Captain John Woodliffe II Captain John Woofliffe II (1614-1676) was Burgess of Charles City, Virginia in 1652. He was taken to court in 1658, charged with assault on a Mr. Anthony Wyatt. In 1661, he commanded the county Regiment as a Captain. In 1664, he was again taken to court for getting his servant Ann Berrey "with Child" and was ordered to pay a fine. He went with John Lanier to ask Governor Berkley for permission to attack the Indians. Permission was refused so the two men took Nathaniel Bacon as their leader and went anyway. He died during Bacon’s Rebellion. His father was: Captain John Woofliffe (1584-1637) was born at Peterly Manor, in Prestwood, England. He attended Oxford University and married Mary Archard on 1 May 1609 at Stevenson, Buckinghamshire, England. He came to the Virginia Colony in 1608 and was a member of the London Company (2nd Charter 1609). Evidently he returned to England, where he signed an agreement on 4 Sep 1619 to settle an 8,000 acre plantation in Virginia to be known as Berkley Hundred. He was to act as Captain and Governor. He sailed on 15 Sep 1619 aboard the "Margaret" (47 Tons) with 38 settlers. Already in Virginia were his wife and two children and 4 servants. His commission as Captain and Governor was revoked on 28 Aug 1620 because of a lack of quick profits and was replaced by George Thorpe. Thus he was not present on Easter 1622 when the Indians attacked and killed all the settlers. His father was: Drewe Woodliffe (1562-1627) was the sixth child born to Robert Woofliffe and Ann Drury. Anne Drury was the daughter of Sir Robert Drury and Elizabeth Brudenell. Elizabeth Brudenell was the daughter of Edmund Brudenell, Esq. Besides their daughter, Anne, Sir Robert Drury and Elizabeth had two sons, they were: 1) Sir William Drury, who was Lord Justice governor of Ireland in 1576 and who married Margaret, daughter of Thomas Lord Wentworth, and 2) Sir Drue of Lynsted, Usher of the Privy Chamber to Queen Elizabeth and keeper of Mary, Queen of Scots and who married 1st wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Phillip Calthorpe and Amata Boleyn (aunt of Queen Ann Boleyn) and who married 2nd wife Catherine, daughter of William Finch of Lynsted. Sir Robert Drury’s father was: Sir Robert Drury Sr. (1463-1536) was a Privy Councilor to King Henry VII and Speaker of the House of Commons in 1498. He was born at Hawsted, Suffolk, England and was a Knight. He married Ann Calthrope in 1483. Ann Calthorpe was the daughter of Sir William Calthorpe and Elizabeth Stapeleton. Elizabeth Stapleton (1442-1505) was the daughter of Sir Miles Stapleton and Catherine de la Pole. Catherine de la Pole was the daughter of Sir Thomas de la Pole and Ann Cheney. Sir Thomas de la Pole was the son of Michael de la Pole (1361-1410) and Lady Katherine Stafford. Lady Katherine Stafford was the daughter of Sir Hugh Stafford and Lady Phillipa Beauchamp. Sir Hugh Stafford was the son of Sir Ralph de Stafford and Lady Margaret de Audley. Lady Margaret de Audley was the daughter of Hugh de Audley and Lady Margaret de Clare. Lady Margaret de Clare was the daughter of Gilbert de Clare (The Red), 9th Earl of Clare, 7th Earl of Hertford, and 3rd Earl of Cloucester and his second wife Joan D’Acre (Plantagenet). Joan D’Acre (Plantagenet) was born 1271 in Nazareth, Galilee, died 1305, was the daughter of King Edward I and Princess Eleanor of Castile. Princess Eleanor accompanied her husband on the 7th Crusade to the Holy Land and was the only child of Ferdinand III of Castile. King Edward I had another child, Edward II, the first "Prince of Wales" and ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II. King Edward I (Plantagenet) was born 17 Jun 1239 in Westminister. He was crowned on 18 Aug 1274 and was the son of King Henry III and Eleanor Berenger. He reigned for 35 years. King Henry III (1207-1272) was the son of King John and Isabella, daughter of Aymar Tallifer, Count of Angouleme. He reigned for 56 years. King John (born 1133) was the son of Matilda (Maud) and Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, son of Fulco V. He reigned as King of England 1154-1189. Maud (1104-1167) was the daughter of King Henry I and Matilda (also Maud), daughter of Malcolm III, King of Scotland and granddaughter of Henry II, King of Hungary. King Henry I (born 1068) was the son of King William I (William the Conquerer) and Matildis of Flanders, daughter of Baldwin V and granddaughter of Robert II, King of France. King William I (William the Conquerer) (born 1020) was the duke of Normandy and King of England 1066-1087. William conquered the Saxons of England at the battle of Hastings on 14 Oct 1066. He reigned for 21 years. So, you must admit, this little side trip was more interesting than staying on our Genealogical highway. Here are some other facts uncovered about other siblings of Joshua Wynne and their descendents" The Wynne line branches many, many times, and the branch at Major Joshua Wynne is of historical interest and deserves mention. One of Joshua Wynne’s sons was Thomas Wynne Sr., this was my line as indicated above, however the youngest son of Joshua Wynne was Colonel William Wynne, also known as William Wynne I, born in 1699. He moved to Danville, Virginia in 1752, along with several others at the instigation of the English Crown to help halt French expansion eastward from the Mississippi Valley. He was a great land owner, close to 90,000 acres. Colonel William Wynne was a surveyor, a vestryman and possessed a large library. He was married to Frances Reed who was also born in 1699 and died between 1778 and 1790. Colonel William Wynne made his will on 8 October 1777, and died in 1778. His will was proved 26 March 1778 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. William Wynne Jr., also known as William Wynne II was the son of Colonel William Wynne. William Jr. was born 10 August 1729 and moved to Pittsylvania County, Virginia with his father. He married Mary Cynthia Harmon of North Carolina in 1752 and had eleven children. Mary Cynthia Harmon was born in 1735 and died in July 1776 in Tazewell County, Virginia. He married his second wife Fillis Marrs and had sixteen children by her. He built the William Wynne Fort of Tazewell, Virginia in 1773 because the Mingos (Indians) were raiding out of the Ohio country during the Lord Dunmore’s War and he moved his family there two years later and manned the fort during the Revolutionary War. He died on 8 July 1808. John Wynne was the second son of William Wynne II and was born on 14 December 1760 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He married Mary Poly St. John in July 1795 in Campbell County, Virginia and had six known children who lived in Sweedens Cove in Marion County, Virginia. Those children were: 1) Sarah Wynne, born 1796 and married to Robert Beene Jr. They had 12 children. 2) John Berry Wynne, born 1800 and married to Peggy Kennedy. They had 8 children from whom Marion County and Jackson County Wynne’s descend. 3) Thomas Wynne, also born in 1800 (twin to John Berry Wynne) married Nancy Sweeton (Sweeden) and had 12 children, decendants of which are in Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. 4) Matthew Wynne who married Nancy Beene, daughter of Obadiah Beene who had 5 daughters, 3 of which married Ralstons. 5) Obadiah Wynne, born in 1811 and married to Frances Kirk, daughter of Samuel and Lamb Kirk of Alabama, and moved to Wright County, Missouri.
