I am looking for any information concerning Ezekiel Wynn and or Peter D. Wynne. Ezekiel Wynn (supposedly born in VA) moved to Anson Co NC as a youngster and is found in the 1820 and 1830 census for Anson CO. In 1817 Ezekiel married Lucy Threadgill of Anson Co NC. About 1840, Ezekiel and Lucy loaded the kids on a flatboat and came down the French Broad and Tennessee Rivers disembarking in Wayne Co. After a short stay they moved to Obion Co TN. Ezekiel is found in the 1850 census in Obion Co. I think that Peter D Wynne was also in Wayne CO about the same time. Peter moved to Shelby CO TN where he died about 1850. I am trying to see if their is a connection between the two. Any information will be appreciated. William R. Wynn P Note: that is a 1 (one) after popalex in the above address.
