John WINN [Parents] was born about 1694 in Middlesex Co., Virginia and was christened on 25 Nov 1701 in Christ Church, Middlesex Co., VA. He died in 1789. John married Mary PLEDGER on 17 May 1738.
Lived in Hanover County where he owned a great deal of land along the Chickohominy Swamp. He also owned land in Goochland and Louisa, adjoining counties, and New Kent, from which Hanover County was taken. The record books of Goochland County show numerous references to this John Winn and his family in deeds and wills, but through the loss of early Hanover County records by fire during the Civil War, it is impossible to get a more complete story of his life. In an " Opinion on the resettlement of his estate by Chief Justice Mar shall (at one time in the possession of Dr. John Farme Winn of Richmond, but now lost) the names of this John Winn's wife and children are given.
His home was called " Jessamine Lawn " and he gave the land on which was built a church which, though no the original structure, is still called "Winn's Baptist Church." It was here that John Clay, father of th. famous
statesman, Henry Clay, was the first pastor.The above was sent to me 10/99 by:

The below is from a post 10/99 to the Germann group:
"This message is to, hopefully, correct an error floating around in some databases regarding an uncle and nephew of the same name.
Among the children of Mark1 Finks, the putative immigrant (died 1764), was Mark2 Finks, Jr. (1744-1834). Page 524 of the Gaar Genealogy gives the children of Mark Finks, Jr. as: John, Elias, James, Joel, Mark, Lewis, Sallie. This list omits three daughters: Mary, who married Aaron Gaar; Anna, who married (1) Reuben Hume and (2) William House; and Elizabeth, who married James Lewis Berrey.
Of these children, Elias3 Finks married Mary Berrey and moved his family to old Franklin, Howard Co., Missouri about 1835/36, and from there to Henry Co., Missouri about 1837/38. Among Elias' children was Mark Fisher4 Finks. On 4 May 1840 in Henry Co. Mark Finks was appointed administrator of Elias'
estate, with James S.[trother] Rains, Abner Finks and Thomas Benton as securities. If "Benton" was a miswriting of "Britton" then the securities were the son and two of the sons-in-law of Elias3.Mark Fisher4 Finks married 28 Jan. 1830 Eliza Graves Eddins, the widow of Clayton Eddins, and who is believed to be the daughter of Joel and Lydia (Graves) Eddins. Mark4 and Eliza (Eddins) Finks left numerous descendants in Henry Co. See, e.g., Vel W. Lamkin, "History of Henry County, Missouri"
(n.p.: Historical Publishing Co., 1919), p. 784 (identifying Judge Mark Fisher5 Finks, who was then living, as the son of Mark and Eliza (Eddings) Finks).So, what's the problem? The problem is that some researchers have confused Mark Fisher4 Finks with his uncle, Mark3 Finks. Such researchers assign the marriage of Eliza Graves Eddins to Mark3 Finks. However, the estate records of Mark2 Finks, Jr. prove that Mark3 Finks predeceased his father and died
without issue.Madison Co., VA Will Book 6, pp. 240-41 show the final disbursements of the estate of Mark2 Finks, Jr. The estate was divided into nine parts of $1052.00 each and disbursed to: Ann Hume "(formerly Ann Finks)", Elias Finks, James Finks, John Finks, Aaron Gaar, Joel Finks, James Berrey, Lewis Finks, and Acrey Berrey.
No disbursement was made to Mark3 Finks. Nor was any provision made for his heirs. The failure to provide for either Mark3 Finks or his heirs demonstrates clearly that Mark3 Finks predeceased his father and died without issue. Because there is no doubt that Eliza Graves (Eddins?)(Eddins) Finks left children, Mark3 Finks could not have been the man who married her.
This is, of course, assuming that Mark3 Finks ever existed in the first place. As noted above, the Gaar Genealogy's listing of Mark2 Finks, Jr.'s children is known to contain errors. I'm not aware of any other records showing the existence of Mark3 Finks.
It is possible, however, that some of the records attributed to Mark2 Finks, Jr., could belong to Mark3 Finks.
What would really nail down the issue would be a document dated after 1764 (when Mark1 Finks was no longer alive) and prior to 1824 (when Mark Fisher4 Finks came of age) which lists two "Mark Finks." Is anyone aware of such a document?"
