In November 2002 Thelma Guinn Watson checked in.  We're possibly--probably?--cousins through  my ggg-gpa, John Gwin, of east Tennessee, or perhaps his father Isham.  Of course, neither Thelma nor I has any evidence--much less proof--of that yet.  But posting her info here with mine is a good way for you readers to see these pages side by side and perhaps notice a connection based on information you have that we don't.  So please contact either or both of us if you have something that may tie these lines together.  Thelma and her husband Richard live in Stockton, MO.  Contact her by clicking her link in this paragraph.

In addition, if your "unrelated" GWIN line is not here and you, like Thelma, would like me to build a similar page for your known family (or create a link to a page you've already prepared), please let me know.  The cost is nothing, and I publish only what information you send and tell me to publish.  My intent here is simply to provide another avenue to help us all find the missing connections for which we've all been looking for so long!

Thanks so much for visiting!      And THANK YOU, Thelma, for sending all these goodies!   :-)

03. The Anson Guinn family was found, unexpectedly, in the Jasper Co., MO, Census for 1860, and the information recorded 9 Jan 1996 at the Stockton, MO, Family History Center:

1860 Census, Jasper Co., MO; Carthage P.O.
 

There was a daughter, Margaret Ann Guinn, b. 13 Nov 1851, who isn't shown on this census.  (She'd have been nine years old.)  She was b. in Cedar Co., MO.  I don't know if she'd died or was visiting a relative.

Thelma Guinn Watson--23 Jan 1995

Thelma Guinn Watson--18 Sep 1995

08. MY RECORDS will now indicate this person as "Anson Guinn" because of the census records showing this name only, and no initial.  Research will continue in an effort to determine:  (a) if Anson had another given name (possibly William or James) and (b) who his parents are, their names and places of birth.
