Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn (1693–1749), 3rd Baronet, assumed the name Wynn in 1719 on inheriting the estate of Wynnstay, Denbighshire, where he sat as MP almost uninterruptedly from 1716 until 1749. A Tory and a Jacobite, his popularity and wealth gave him great influence in the North of Wales. His son, of the same name, was more interested in the arts than in politics. Hudson was a fashionable London portraitist who produced polished formal likenesses.
