177. James Wynkoop, M.D., (Abraham 52, Benjamin 8, Cornelius 1) died about 1788: married, April 3, 1777, Hester Peterson, of Middletown, Del., and settled there. It is said that he was settled, afterwards, in Baltimore, Maryland. This is the James [111] of the Wynkoop Genealogy, of 1878, who was wrongly placed in that edition, on the basis of conjecture. Nicholas Hammond wrote of this James, in 1783, as follows: "The Doctor has acted an affectionate part towards his brother's widow and children, in which, however, he has followed his natural disposition, which is extremely humane." And he wrote, in 1818, "Our half-uncle, James, the Doctor, left three daughters, who also are dead."
