There are a couple of ancillary issues that kind of need to all be looked at the same time.
1) Figure out who this Mary Wyndes is. Is she a daughter of a daughter who married a Wyndes? Or is she granddaughter who married a Wyndes?
Abstracts of Wills (New York) Vol I 1665-1707, p 37-38
WILLIAM PURRIER, of Southold, "In perfect health of body," makes his grandson James Reeve, "now living with me," his sole executor, and desires him to take his mother, my eldest daughter Mary Reeve, into his family and provide for her during life. If she refuse, then he is to pay her 20 Nobles yearly. "I leave to my two youngest daughters, Sarah Mapes and Martha Osmun 20 each." To "Isaac Reeve who now lives with me," two oxen. To my grandchild Mary Wyndes, one cow. To Thomas Terrill who married my grand daughter Mary Reeve, two acres of land by his dwelling house. To grand son James Reeve all my dwelling house, lands and meadows. Dated December 13, 1671.
Witnesses Nicholas Eades, John Youngs. James Reeve is confirmed as executor May 13, 1676.
2) Who could have been the father of a Mary, if she is a Wines, who married Barnabas or Samuel? There was another "original" settler whose name was Joseph Mapes.
3) Who was the wife of Samuel Wines, son of Barnabas and Ann (Eddy) Wines, apparently also a Mary?
