General Notes

Thomas was mentioned as the eldest son in his father's will.  He was born in 16 57, for in a deposition given in a suit in Prince George in 1707, he gave his a ge as 50 years.  In 1701, he patented 200 acres on the south side of the Blackw ater in Charles City County (afterwards becoming Prince George County).  In the 1704 Quit Rents, "Captain" Thomas Wynne held 400 acres in the Prince George. In 1707, he and his wife, Agnes, deeded land in Surry County to his son, Robert , and his daughter, Mary Malone, wife of one Nathaniel Malone.

On April 24th , 1703, the Council upon reading "a petition of the King and Great Men of the N ottoway and Meherrin Indians praying that Thomas Wynne be appointed their inter preter in the place of Thomas Blunt with whom they have experienced dissatisfac tions, he was accordingly appointed interpreter to those two tribes and also to the Nansemonds."

He promptly acted to prevent certain colonists from settli ng on Indian lands around Bear Swamp and other places belonging to them and for a time pacified their "dissatisfactions and uneasiness", but after a time they petitioned for another interpreter on the grounds that Thomas Wynne was "remis s and negligent".

On November 30, 1707, he entered 500 acres on Cabin Shick Swamp on the south side of the Nottoway and prayed the Council that it be surve yed as it was uncertain whether it was in Prince George County or Surry County.

Thomas Wynne made his will in Surry County on February 18, 1716-1717, and t he will was probated on May 21, 1718.
