Nine Generations from Dr. Thomas Wynne documents and explores the author's father's family history and genealogy from its earliest American immigrant, Dr. Thomas Wynne, to its ninth generation. Dr. Wynne, a member of the Welsh gentry, was an early Quaker convert who was persecuted and jailed for his beliefs. He became acquainted with William Penn, also a convert, became his personal physician, and in 1681 purchased 5000 acres in Penn's new province of Pennsylvania. In 1682, they sailed together on the ship Welcome to the new town of Philadelphia. Dr. Wynne's only son, Jonathan, inherited Dr. Wynne's properties and established Wynnestay, a stone mansion still occupied in West Philadelphia and considered to be the oldest house in Philadelphia. Jonathan's son established himself in Chester County and had six sons, all of whom fought in the Revolutionary War. Each member of the nine generations in the family line is described in a genealogical sketch and each of the families is placed in its historical setting. Includes appendices, illustrations, images, charts, maps, bibliography, and index. Full color.
