It continues ….

(The following is some research comments on Ancestry by a Wynne/Wingfield researcher)

Martha was the daughter of Jarvis Wingfield and Hannah (Wynne? Stith? Llewellyn? not certain but probably a relative to the Wynnes). Jarvis (1669-1756) was the son of William Wingfield who died 1676 in Charles City (today's Prince George County) and his wife a Miss Dix, daughter of Jarvis Dix (b. 1616, immigrated by 1636). Jarvis Wingfield was not a direct descendant of Edward Maria Wingfield first President of the Jamestown Colony, but probably was of the same family. He was wealthy and the father William left a 1676 will leaving property (which very unfortunately has been "lost"), and there was the tradition orally that the family was related. Genealogists on that side of the family are researching it, and dna evidence now being collected may help. Many in the family dropped the "g" and spelled the name Winfield...and there are MANY descendants throughout the South and beyond, Gen. Winfield Scott and many others included. ….

Now I understand it better from curator comments.

She had written:

Hannah Wingfield wife of Jarvis Wingfield is usually identified as the daughter of Thomas Wynne and Agnes Stith. BUT, if this is true, that means that Hannah's daughter Martha would've married her uncle, Thomas Wynne, Jr. (also a child of Thomas Wynne and Agnes Stith) -- not a legal possibility! In addition, Hannah was not listed as an heir in Thomas Wynne's will.”
