Information on the Wayne ancestry was found in The English Ancestry of the Wayne Family by Edwin Sellers, 1927, and in correspondence with Robert Wayne. (Robert's website was devoted to General "Mad" Anthony Wayne but has now disappeared. I have not been able to contact Robert at any of the addresses I had for him.)
My main interest in this family is to find more information about Ann Wayne, born about 1712 in County Wicklow Ireland, and her husband Samuel McCue and their family. There is profuse use of the same given names in many generations with many spelling variations in all generations of the Wayne families. I present them here as found in the Sellers book, as a possibility for further research.
