DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Southside Virginian has a query - I think about this John's wife Agnes (again, maybe not nee Sturdivant), which includes information on children named in will. See https://archive.org/stream/southsidevirgini1198283/southsidevirgini1198283_djvu.txt p 175:

WYNNE. Mrs. John R. Barnett...seeks name of Agnes, 1st wife of John Wynne, who d. 1796 Sussex Co., Va. His will names children: Green, Thomas, Nathaniel, Robert, William, Peterson, Mary Wynne m Wra. Sturdivant, Milly Wynne m. John Sturdivant, Frances Wynne m. ( ) Niblett. John Wynne, Jr. m. Mary Ingram, but died before his father.

will mentions son-in-law William Sturdivant, which in 1796 could mean his stepson, which would mean Sturdivant probably wasn't Agnes' maiden name.
