My grandfather was John Euclid Gwin who married Pauline Looney in Oplin, Tx. He was born in 1905, but I don't know where. I think he had roots from Alabama. My dad is John Hubert Gwin who married Shirley Jo Scott in Coleman, TX, in 1951.

98/98	Samuel Guin	head	wm	45	1835	m	GA/NC/NC	farmer	Sure enough, here are Samuel and Cynthia/Carrie, parents of these four, one of whom is our Gordon.
	Cinthia A. Guin	wife	wf	42	1838	m	GA	keeping house	Here Samuel's wife is listed as Cinthia A. (probably Cynthia Ann), and their last name is listed as Guin.
	Georgia Ann Guin	daughter	wf	15	1865	s	GA/GA	works on farm	Ok. Here are Samuel's and Carrie's four children. This is Euclid's aunt, Georgia Ann.
	John Guin	son	wm	14	1866	s	GA/GA	works on farm	This is Euclid's uncle John.
	Clay Guin	son	wm	12	1868	s	GA/GA	at home	This is Euclid's uncle Clay.
	Gorden Guin	son	wm	8	1872	s	GA/GA	at home	Here is Gordon in 1880. Samuel is indeed his father, and now we know three of Gordon's siblings. When we find Samuel in 1870, however, I believe we'll most likely find some older siblings as well.
