Notes for Jonathan WYNNE
Jonathan Wynne, only son of Dr. Thomas Wynne, born in 1669, accompanied his sister and her husband, Dr. Edward Jones, and their two children on the ship "Lyons", August 17, 1682, and remained in Blockley township and Merion with Dr. Edward Jones, as he built a house in 1689 which is still standing. He is also mentioned in Merion and Haverford Friends Meeting records as early as 1699. He inherited the plantation at Cedar Creek, and the revision of the Mansion House and plantation at Lewes under his father's will, when, ascertaining that his father was entitled to land in right of his purchase of 1681, he applied for warrants for its survey in the Welsh Tract if possible, or elsewhere. On October 9, 1701, he was granted a warrant for one hundred acres of land in Blockley township, on which he took up his residence and lived there until his death in 1721. The remainder of the land to which he was entitled, as proven after an investigation of the land office, covering several years was eventually laid out to him at Great Valley, Chester county, and twenty-four acres were surveyed to him in the Northern Liberties of Philadelphia, and a lot on High Street, now Market Street, south side, between Fourth and Fifth, which remained in the Wynne family until 1791, when it was conveyed by Thomas Wynne, the fourth, a great-great-grandson of Dr. Thomas Wynne, it having been devised by Jonathan Wynne to his daughters Hannah and Mary, who dying without issue, it descended to their eldest brother, Thomas Wynne, and from him to his son and grandson of the same name.
