The Gwin's and the Wynne's are related and have common ancestors. The name started well before 1611, as 'Media Research','Bardsley English Surnames','Americans of Gentle Birth','Colonial & Revolutionary Lineages', and other researches state. Here is the line from long ago to the 1600's: 1-Cunedda @480 AD, 2-Enion Yrth, 3-Cadwallon, 4-Maelgwn @547 Cwynedd, 5-Rhun, 6-Beli, 7-Iago, 8-Cadfan, 9-Cadwallon, 10-Cadwaladr, 11-Idwal, 12-Rhodri Molwynog 754, 13-Cyan, 14-Gwriad, 15-Merfyn Frych, 16-Rhodri Mawr, 17-Anarawd 916, 18-Idwal Foel, 19-Meurig, 20-Idwal, 21-Iago 1039, 22-Cynan, 23-Gruffydd, 24-Owain Gwynedd 1137,25-Irwerth Drwyndwn, 26-Llywelyn, 27-Gwaithvood, 28-Convyn Blythin, 29-Cadowgan, 30-Madoc, 31-Rhiwallon,
