Person:Peter Wynne (1)

On 12 Aug. 1620, Thomas Wynne's brother Peter was married to Martha Coppin, daughter of William Coppin of St. Margarets, Canterbury. The marriage was at St. Mathins church in Canterbury. Peter Wynne's son Robert, speaker of the House in Virginia, was christened at St. Dunstans, Canterbury on 28 Dec. 1622. Peter Wynne was buried at St. Georges on 30 May 1638.

William Coppin, father of Martha, was buried at St. Georges on 18 March 1633. The Wynns say that a memorial tablet to him is in St. Georges, and is mentioned in Hasted's History of Kent, vol. 4, p. 170. The Wynns also note that William Coppin was also probably the grandson of John Coppin, member of Parliament from Canterbury from 1553-4.
