This is someone about whom I've written, disputing an English origins article. I believe his origins are still unknown.
1. Edward Winn born say 1598 and died 5 September 1682 at Woburn, Massachusetts. He married first before 1625 Johanna (----) who died at Woburn on 8 March 1649. He married secondly at Woburn on 10 August 1649, Sarah Beal who died at Woburn on 15 March 1679/80. Edward was a carpenter. He left a will in Middlesex Probate (6:111-2, File #25243), which notes him as Edward Winn of Watertown. He had four children: Ann, Elizabeth, Joseph, and Increase.
2. Ann Winn born about 1626, died 6 May 1682 at Woburn, Massachusetts. She married at Woburn on 26 September 1648, Moses Cleveland, baptized 2 February 1621 at Ipswich, England and died 9 January 1701/2 at Woburn, son of Isaac and Alice Cleveland. Moses and Ann had ten children: Moses, Hannah, Aaron, Samuel, Miriam, Joanna, Edward, Josiah, Isaac, and Enoch.
