The updating of the numbering system used on this page has been completed. Generation 28 is my own;
27 is that of my parents; 29 is that of my children, etc.  --   John M. Gwin, May 2009

The following information was given to me in 1982 by my father's oldest brother, Uncle James Basset Gwin, Jr., who told me it was compiled by George House Luker  (26.04 below) in 1932 in Little Rock, AR.  Uncle James said he found it in the belongings of his aunt, Mrs. Maggie Vardaman Webb of Alexander City, AL, after she died in 1952, and added it to his own collection.
