[Source:  In October 2003, Carol, another "potential" cousin, sent in several different e.mails of information on descendants of Horatio and Lucinda, as well as a photo and some family data on a somewhat mysterious Theodore Gwin and his wife Elizabeth. I've not seen where we are related yet, so I have created this page as a clearinghouse on anything related to these couples. Hopefully, having her information available to others viewing my own will allow someone to make a connection. Please feel free to e.mail Carol and/or me, John Gwin, with any questions or anything you may have related to the people mentioned in this site.]

He had a son, Horatio Judson Gwin. See Theodore's bio at Hancock Co. Kevin P.S. Theodore's parents were John and Catherine of Pa. From: The Gwins <cdsgwinatsbcglobaldotnet> Date: July 10, 2008 To: John Gwin <jmcdgwin@zianet.com> Subject: Re: geneology John, My name is Daniel O. Gwin. I am the son of Thomas B. Gwin. You can add my daughter, Sydney Michelle Gwin, born 1993 to my list. My wife's name is Christine Marie (Caldwell) Gwin. My uncle John Gwin is now deceased and is buried in Sapulpa Ok. I have additional if needed.  Austin B. Gwin is my great-grandfather; John Robert Gwin is my grandfather; Thomas B. Gwin is my father. According to our information, Horatio left for California with his oldest son and never contacted my great-grandfather Austin again. Austin was a Civil War Union Army Veteran who came to Oklahoma due to a land grant for his service. I hope this helps. Thanks and God Bless, Dan
