Thomas Wynne took great interest in the relgious society of which he was an early member. He became an able minister and appears to have visited various places giving foth his religious views. In 1677 he wrote3 a pamphlet on: "The Antiquity of the Quakers, proved ?? of the Scriptures of Truth. Publisshed in Love to the APapists, Protestants, Presbyterians, Independents and Anabaptists. With a Salutation of Pure Love to all the Tender-hetedWelshmen. But more especially to Flintshire, Denbighsire,Caernarvonshire and Anglesea. By their Countryman and Friend, Thomas Wynne. Printed in the year 1677.

In the front of this reply there is a curious, finely etched portrait of Thomas Wynne tempted by the Devil.s Hill,

People, called Quakers in general. by me Thomas Wynne. (1)
Thomas Wynne was a successful Chirurgeon and "Practitioner in Physics," the latter being what he styles himself in his will. He is said to have practised in London. Thomas Wynne was also well versed in the law.
Richard Davies, in his autobiography, writing of one of his visits to north Wales in 1681 says: "I acquainted my friend William Penn and some Friends that I intended to give Bishop Lloyd a visit." [This was Dr. William Lloyd, who had been in charge of St. Martin's in London, afterwards Bishop of St. Asaph.] "I went to my friend Thomas Wynne's who lived in {near} Caerwys, in Flintshire, (2)
not far from the bishop's palae, and he went with me. When we came there the bishop was with9in; he said he was......The Bishop sent for us, in there were several clergymen with him, among the rest the dean of Bangor....We went soon to dispute about water-baptism. I told them, there was one Lord, one faith and on e baptism.... So this and like discorse, held us till it was late at night, and then I went to my friend's house."
In the early part of the year 1682 there was a committee appointed to visit Whitehall to try to induce Lord Hyde, Sir Lionel Jenkins, Secretary of State, and others in authority, to influence the king to relieve the sufferings of the Friends of Bristol. The three friends on the committee from the country were Charles Lloyd, Thmas wynne and Richard Davies. Before this Thomas Wynne was a resident of Bron Vadog, of Bronvadog, and was one of the overseers of the will of John ap Thomas, which was dated 9th February, 1682, being styled "Thomas Wynne, late of Bronvadog, near Caerwys, in the county of fflynt churyrge." Ysceiviog, the parish in which this place is located , is four miles southwest of Holywell, on the road from Nannerh to Whitford.
Thomas Wynne in connection with John ap John, for themselves, as well as trustees for others, purchased from Penn 5,000 acres to be laid out in the Welsh Tract. The Proprietor departed from England in the sixth month, 1682, on the ship "Welcome."
Dr. Wynne was a passenger aboard, and practised his profession, administering medicine and relieving the sufferngs of those overtaken by the smallpox, which broke out soon after leaving port.
At the preliminary Legislative jAssembly held at Chester the 4th day of the 10th month, 1682, Nicholas Moore presided. Thomas Holmes, Surveyor General; Thomas Wynne, William Clark and (p101)
Edward Southrin, were appointed a committee to desire the Governor to transmit a "Constitute" [Constitution] The session lasted three days.
Among the varioujs accounts which have been written of Philadelphia, one states that among the first brick houses built was that of Thomas Wynne. It was located on Front Street, west side, above Chestnut Street, the latter being for a short time called Wynne Street. Having some business to attend to in the old country, he laid before his monthly meeting, 1st of 5th month, the prospect he had of a visit with his wife to England.
It is supposed that Thomas Wynne accompanied Penn to England in the ketch "Endeavojur," which sailed from Philadelphia the 12th of 6th month, 1684. On the 23d of 9th month, in London, William Gibson was buried. It was he who had written the postscript to the Docotrslast publication. On this occasion a meeting was held in White Hart Court Meeting-House. It is stated that more than a thousand persons were at the burial-place, where it was publicly said of the body "That it had been often beaten and imprisioned for Christ's sake." At another time while Thomas Wynne and twenty-threeothers were on their way to the meeting-house at White-Hart Court they were arrested in Angel Court and sent to prison.
The length of time that Thomas Wynne remained in England is unkown. On his return he settled on an estate he had purchased at Lewes. He again took part in public affairs.
During the year 1688, while holding the position of Associate Justice of Sussex County, he was also a representative from tht county in the Assembly at Philadelphia, this body met on the 10th day of 3d month . In the same year on the th of 5th month Rachel Lloyd, a daughter of Thomas Lloyd, deputy-Governor of the Province, was married to Samuel Preston , a meeting being (p. 102) held for that purpose at the house of Frances Cornwall, in Sussex. Among the signers to the marriage certificate were Thomas Wynne, his wife and children. In the year 1691 Dr.Wynne was in Philadelphia. He attended the Monthly Meetings held in the 11th month and 12th month. Soon after he was taken sich, and died. He was buried on the 17th of 1st month, 1692. He made his will on the "16th day of first month, 1691-1692." This was probated 2d month, 20th, 1692, at Philadelphia [Book A, p. 200] In it he is called "Thomas Wynne, of Philadelphia, in the Province of Pennsylvania, practitioner in Physic." He gives his messuages and plantatnion, near the town of Lewes, to his wife, Elizabeth Wynne, during her natural life, aafater her death to his son Jonathan Wynne. He also givs to the latter the palntatnon of two hundred acreas at Cedar Creek, in the County of Sussex. He gives one-half of his personal estate to his children in America, Viz.: Jonathan, Mary, Rebecca, Sidney, and Hannah. HIs daughter Tabitha was living in England; he gave her fifty shillings as a last mark of love. "She hath already sufficiently partaken of my fatherly care and tenderness of her." The other half of his personal estate he equeathed to his beloved wife, Elizabeth, who was made executrix.

1.It's known to many now living, in this my Native Country wherein I live (and it being also near the place where i was born}, that my genious from a Child did lead me to Surgery, insomuch that before I was Ten Years old, I several times over-ran my School and Home when I heard of any one's being wounded or hurt, & used all my endeavours, then to see Fractures and Dislocations reduc'd, and Wounds dressed, and havebeen so long missing, that my Parents thought they had lost me, for which I underwent severe Correction, and the troublesome times being then, my Parents sustained great Plunder, and my Father dyed before i was Eleaven Years old, and my Mother not being then able to produce so gret a Sum of Money as to set me to Chyrurgery, I betook my self to this honest & necessary Calling, with several other things that in those dayes pleased my mind; yet during all this time, I lot no opportunity to inform my self in the Practice Chyrurgery, and continued thus until I became acquainted with an honet Friend, , and good Artistin Chyrurgery, whose Name was Richard Moore of Salop, who seeing my forwardness to Chyrurgery, did further me in it, and brought me to Desections in Salop; the Anatomists being me of known worth in that Practice, whose Names are Dr. Needham anDr. Hollins, who at this day are doubtless od deserved Repute in their Professions (in England), and being then expert in Drills, and Handy in Knife's and Lancet, & other Instruments for that purpose, I set on making a Skellton of a mans Bones, which I only with the assistance of Ricahrd Moore perforemed to their content, at near 20 years ago, and soon after I being taken a Prisioner to Denbigh, where I remained a Prisioner near six years for the Testimony of Jesus, I then betook my self wholly to the Practice of Chyrurgery. -- [Dr. Thomas Wynne's Reply, 1679.]
