Agnes Wynne

Additional Curator's Notes:

Agnes Jane Stith was the natural daughter of Jane Mosby and Joseph Parsons. Joseph Parson died before Agnes was born. Her mother married John Drury Stith before Agnes was born, in Dec. 1656. John Stith gave Agnes his name, raised her as his daughter, and left her the same inheritance as his natural daughters (see copy of will below).

Agnes was born c. 1657 in Charles City Couny, Virginia and died c.1709 in Surry County, Virginia. She married Thomas Wynn or Wynne, the son of Robert Wynn or Wynne and wife Frances Sloman. They had four children, two sons (Thomas Jr., and Robert) and two daughters (Mary and Lucy.)

An additional child, Sloman Wynne, appears in some trees. Nothing is known about this child, he is not mentioned in Thomas' will, and I have not found proof the child existed. Maria Edmonds-Zediker, Volunteer Curator, 8/21/2011.

comments

Because there is currently no way to show an adoption on Geni, and because of the importance of Agnes Jane Stith in Virginia history, I have been asked as a curator to maintain this second profile for her under her natural father's name, for the benefit of those researching Parson family history.

This profile is locked and will remain locked to prevent merging into the profile for Agnes Jane Wynne (Stith). Please contact me or any curator if you need access to this profile.

Notes

Title: Boddie's Virginia Historical Genealogies Vol. XIV, p. 176-177 [D319] [D296]
Text: Thomas Wynn, son of Col. Robert Wynn, was born in 1657 according to a deposition he gave in Prince George Co. in 1707 and cited by Boddie. According to the orginal WF & KA chart D118 developed in 1978, Thomas Wynn's wife was given as Agnes "Tucker". Reference is given in D. 217 to a will written by John Stith Sr. [probate 3 April 1694, Charles City Co., VA] in which he names his daughter Agnes and Thomas Wynn. The chart C118, has been changed to reflect this information and Thomas Wynn's wife is given as Agnes Stith. Thomas Wynn was dead by May of 1718 for that is when his will was probated. The birth and death dates of Agnes Stith are unknown.
