Michael Williams is a fellow researcher into the Fynns and their history.
One of the things he has turned up is a Deed of Title within the "Deeds

They take a bit of reading to sort who is who but whilst there is obviously
no necessary connection between the John Fynn mentioned and "our"
Fynns. But- hey - there maybe!
If you click on the deed references in the left hand column you get to the
actual original script...
Go back to John 'Porter' Fynn
or Before John ' Porter' Fynn
or use one of the buttons to the left.
