Biography
Owen Wynne born about 1665, son of Col Owen and Catherine (Hamilton) Wynne of Lurganboy, Co Leitrim. Catherine was the daughter of Sir John Hamilton, 2nd Baron Strabane and earl of Abercorn.
He was educated by Mr Wilson and entered Trinity College Dublin on 10 May 1682, aged 17. B.A. 1686, LLD 1718. [1]
MP for County Sligo.
Owen Wynne married the second daughter of Robert Miller of Milford, Co. Mayo, but the couple had no children.
Wynne made money somehow; he spent £15,000 on land in Cavan in 1720, and bought Sligo estates, which also included a portion of Sligo town, for £20,000 in 1722. He moved to the county and built a seat, Hazelwood, an impressive edifice designed by Richard Cassels.
He died on 28 February 1737. The estates were left to his nephew, Owen Wynne.
