Also seeking living descendants and info on GWIN family in VA, NC, TN, IL, MO, KS--oldest known ancestor on this line is Elias GWIN who was married first to Rebecca Beckham in Warran Co., NC, then to Tabitha WEATHERFORD in TN.

There is a schoolhouse still standing, though probably not for long due to Highway improvements, on the old GWIN homestead one mile north of Garland Corner on South Hwy. 69 near Fort Scott, KS named after James H.

Particularly looking for info on Carrol DOBBINS who married Amelia H. PERKINS prior to 1847, possibly in Vernon Co., MO. Amelia was living in Lawrence, KS in 1870 (I believe). Not sure what happened with this marriage. Carroll DOBBINS is not listed with her in 1870 list of settlers in Lawrence, KS. Divorce? Death? Amelia may have remarried in Douglas Co., KS around 1890 or so.
Also seeking any living descendants of any of these lines. Please contact me by email or snail mail to determine possible family connection. Don't be shy!!Willing to share our information with anyone willing to share theirs with us. :-)

John and Jim,
I took a little time tonight to work online on William Gwin whom we found in the 1850 and 1860 Macoupin Co., IL censuses (censi?).
There is a George Gwin family on the same page as William in 1850. George was born abt 1788 in VA. I decided to google for him and got this:

GWIN, BECKHAM, WEATHERFORD:
Subj: TN Query Date: 1997-11-28**********************************************
From: DarleneA@aol.com
My gggg-grandfather, Elias GWIN married first Rebeccah BECKHAM in Warren Co., NC. Rebeccah must have died before 1813 or so as he married Tabitha WEATHERFORD, daughter of Money WEATHERFORD about that time and they lived in Bedford Co., TN for about 20 years. Tabitha died about 1830 and Elias GWIN took his/their 10 children to Macoupin Co, IL where her mother and brothers had moved around 1820-ish after Money died.
I have been told the Bedford Co., TN, courthouse records burned before the Civil War. Is there another source for records from this area???
Any help appreciated.
DarleneA@aol.com
I have seen this Elias Gwin connection in Virginia a lot on the web. I gather either he isn't in our lines, or isn't related at all. Do you guys know anything about him? (Incidentally, I am also related to the Meek family, most likely. Joe Meek, the mountain man was the son of a Walker woman, and also probably the cousin of Joseph Reddeford Walker and Joel Walker, two other famous mountain men.)
Still looking!

Hi Mr. Gwin -
Got your message. Have you had time to check my posted Gwin info? I am related to Elias Gwin who traveled from TN to Macoupin Co., IL, when he lost his wife, Tabitha Weatherford, daughter of Money Weatherford. Elias's son, William Gwin, was my next ancestor in line, then on to William's son, James H. Gwin, who moved to Bourbon Co., KS, and had my great-grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Gwin. Does any of that ring any bells? I really don't know much about that line other than names. Any info you might have to share (or pictures) would be greatly appreciated.

Item: 16 Oct 1850 Census of Macoupin Co., IL
[John M. Gwin Note: The photo of the census page below was sent to me by Cousin Mike Walker who suggests that the William Gwin in line 37 below could be the firstborn son of our subject, William and Susanna Gwin, and I agree, since:(1) his age is right, according to the above-referenced 1830 census,Mike's theory seems to me to be very plausible, and I think we should pursue it.]
(2) his name is right (to be a "junior"),
(3) his state of birth is right,
(4) his current place of residence would make sense if, for example, he had decided to "agree with Grandpa Isham" and move north to avoid his dad's and uncle's attractions to slavery, and
(5) the places of birth of his children fit.[John M. Gwin Note: I have transcribed the GWIN entries on the following page from the
16 Oct 1850 U.S. Census of Macoupin County, Illinois, to allow web searchers to find these names.]

Laney Gwin 52 1798 f . . Ten . This person is currently unknown to us. Her place of birth, however, strongly suggests that her husband, George, moved to TN from VA, met and married her there, then moved to IN--generally the same route followed by Isham and Mary Canterbury Gwin.

Nancy Gwin 11 1839 f . . Ind . .
George L. Gwin 8 1842 m . . Ind . . 7/7 William Gwin 38 1812 m farmer 620 Ten CNROW This is the William Gwin (Jr.) whom Mike Walker has theorized could be the son of William and Susanna Gwin (and grandson of Isham and Mary C. Gwin) as explained above. His estimated year of birth, 1812, is the same year John Gwin and Jane Walker married and the year before William and Susanna joined the Miller's Cove Baptist Church (see item #3 above). Based on the places of birth of these Gwin children of William and Jane in this very census, these Gwins were living in Alabama in 1833 and in Illinois by 1837.
Jane M. Gwin 37 1813 f . . NC CNROW Jane evidently married William in the early 1830's, no doubt in Alabama. If Rebecca is their firstborn, Jane would've been about 20 when Rebecca was born and therefore about 19 when she and William married (ca. 1832).
Rebecca L. Gwin 17 1833 f . . Ala ASWTY That this daughter is born in Alabama lends further credence to Mike's theory, since William and Susanna are in Alabama for the 1820 and 1830 censuses.
James H. Gwin 13 1837 m . . Ill ASWTY That James H. Gwin is born in Illinois means--if Mike's theory is correct--that William and Jane moved their family north to Illinois between 1833 and 1837.

Redfield Herald -- November 1906 - February 1907
Bourbon County's Redfield Herald was a weekly newspaper. The first issue, dated April 8, 1905, was published on Saturdays, with W. E. Stockmyer [referred to as Edd], as Editor. In October 1905, when Mr. and Mrs. Stockmyer left Kansas for New Mexico, publication changed from Saturdays to Fridays and J. Frank Pool replaced Mr. Stockmyer as Editor. At that point, the paper was considerably expanded; in addition to community news, coverage also included courthouse news and property transfers/deeds. Another editorial change occurred in October 1906 when Mr. Pool retired and Harry E. Luman became Editor. These extracts have been copied as accurately as possible, but errors may still occur. Minor printing errors have been corrected, but otherwise the information is presented as it originally appeared. Please consult the individual reel to verify an item. I do not have any further information about these individuals or families. Contributed by Ellen Knowles Bisson (thebissons@worldnet.att.net)
Dec 28, 1906 -- pg. 2, col. 1
Died: Mrs. James Gwinn died at her home west of town and was buried Tuesday at the Large cemetery. She had a very severe attack of pneumonia fever. She leaves an aged husband, three boys and two girls - all married.

The Kansas Heritage Server would like to thank Darlene (DarleneA@aol.com) for contributing this material.

I have learned that my great-great grandfather, James W. Gwin, had a schoolhouse named after him in the Godfrey neighborhood of Bourbon Co., near Ft. Scott. I assume it was of the one-room variety but have been unable to get info on it as yet. It was said to be built on the old family homestead in Godfrey. If anyone has any info on this, please submit not only to me, but to Lynn and Rene too. Someone on one of the KS lists suggested I write to the Superintendent of Schools for Bourbon Co. in Ft. Scott, but I have yet to do that. It is a possibility though.

John,
Yes, Francis Curtis was my great great grandfather and I have His decendants information if you would like that. He and Ann gave birth to Francis Edward Gwin who married Cora maude Stratton who gave birth to Roy Elmer Gwin who married Gennevive Anna Brooks and my dad is Francis Burdette Gwin and my mother was Mary Arlene Mastin. My Mom died when I was 6 1/2 and my father remarried Margaret Anne Widrig Treaster .
I am collecting information from cousins who come from Harry Newton Gwin who was a son of Arthur and Mary Jane Gwin. I will have 11 pages from my cousin Shirley in Garnett, Kansas soon.
I am still trying to find Arthur Gwin's or Mary jane Porter's parents. If you have any information about that could you please send it to me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for emailing me!
Love and Light,
Francene Gwin Webb
