Name Discussion

Mary has been said to be the wife of Edward Jones, but still has not been proven as Mary Wynn, or Mary Battes. The statements made have not clearly shown this, plus there are doubts that the parents given to Mary Wynn actually had a daughter who lived to adulthood. Clearly, more sources are needed to clearly prove the name of Edward Jones' wife. There is no known documentation that provides a first name for Edward Jones' wife, let alone a surname. Obviously, we can't even base an estimated birthdate/place in such a situation.[1]

Disputed origins

See website that disputes that Owen Wynn had a daughter, Mary. 'Wynne Mythtakes & Wynn Winners:http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~ttg13/genealogy/mylespage2.html That Sir Owen Wynne (or Gwynn), son of Sir John Wynn, came to Va. and left issue in Virginia. This is the most frequently published error. There is no record of an Owen Wynne or Gwynn in Virginia. Sir John's son, Owen, spent his life managing the Gwydir properties for his father, then for his older brother, Sir Richard, who preferred life in London, and finally on his own after he became the 4th Baronet of Gwydir in 1649. He had only two children: a daughter who died early and a son, Richard Wynne, who succeeded him as the 5th Bart. [There are several recent historical accounts of Owen and of the family of Gwydir, esp. J. G. Jones.]
