Wynn, W.T. to Jones, Judith M.
Mar 22, 1866
"Biographical Memoirs of Mississippi"(1891) by Goodspeed, 1081: "William T. Wynn…married to Miss Judith M. Jones, a Mississippian, and a daughter of William S. Jones. She was born in 1845, and died in 1872, leaving one child, William T., who was educated at Oxford and is a very bright young man. Mr. Wynn was married, a second time, to Miss Sally M. Cock, a native of Virginia, and a member of one of the most distinguished families of that state. Her father was a man highly educated and of very polished manners. He was descended from the French Huguenots, and was regarded as the Chesterfield of his age."
Judith Maria Jones Wynn's only son was William Townes Wynn(e). Her mother may have been a Townes.

Hester M Townes 40
Alice M Townes 7
Rebecca and Hester Townes were unmarried daughters of Judith Townes b1785 VA. who was in Yalobusha in 1850.
Hester Townes was still living with them in 1880.
The Townes and Leigh families were large land and slave owners in Yalobusha County. The 1860 slave schedules for Yalobusha show six different members of the Townes family owned 297 slaves total, while H. Townes had in his possession another 60 belonging to J.B. Anderson of Virginia. J.E. Leigh owned 52 and Mrs. L.W. Leigh (for Estate of R.H. Leigh) had 57.
Judith Jones Wynn's name is clearly Juria on the 1870 census, but W.T. Wynn's biography shows only two wives, Judith Jones and Sally Cocke.
He and Sally later named a daughter Juria.
The name Juria may be associated with the Townes and Leigh families.
