I added Wynn as an alternate last name to keep that name associated with this entry. I firmly believe that Wynne is the correct LNAB but want to make sure that those who think of adding Wynn in the future will see this entry.

Wynn-238 and Wynne-1 appear to represent the same person because: These appear to be the same person with a different spelling of the last name. Wynne appears to be the preferred spelling.
