No kidding--her age is listed as 21, and she's been md. 10
years!
If this is true, do the math to see her age at her
marriage.
However, it does conflict with the 1900 census, which
means this
enumerator most likely made an error.

Note:
In
my analysis of the above census data, D. T. Guinn and his
brother,
John W. Guinn, were b. in SC to Nancey Guinn, when Nancey
was 15 and 25
years old, respectively. Between 1846 and 1853, all
had moved to
GA
where Florentine and all three of D. T.'s kids were
born. By
1855, J.
W. (and probably all) had moved to Lampasas. I did a
search of
everyone with the given name "Florentine" in Lampasas Co.,
TX. in 1870,
and only Mrs. Nichols was found, she also being the right
age and POB
to be J. W.'s Florentine; further, she is living next door
to her
mother Mary and sister Nannie Anderson (with the later of
whom Nancy
Guinn--spelled here Guin--is now living), so I'm certain
this is
she.
By 1880, Jacob Nichols has died.]

Hi John Gwin,
I'm just starting this Genealogy on my grandfather John Ray Guinn
(1900-1956) married Theora Bartlett in Salado, Bell Co., TX, 10
Mar
1921. His father was John Guinn. My father is 77 yrs. and has a
sister,
but they don't know much about any names. Daddy thinks his
grandmother's name was Lena. Is there any chance that you
might
know about this John Guinn? I'm not sure where to
start.
Thanks,

1. No, I've not run into either this John Guinn or his son
John
Ray yet, but that doesn't mean we're not related.
3. ............I did a search of
it
for Bartlett and got 46 matches but haven't looked at any of them
yet.
4. ............Then I jumped to
the
Bell County Forum (still in Genforum) and looked--here's an
interesting
item I found there when I searched for "Bartlett":
William J. King 1860-1941 Bartlett

I am seeking any info on the family of William J. King and his
wife
Narcissis who are buried in the Bartlett Cemetery. I
understandthat Bartlett is in Bell Co., but the cemetery is just
across
the county line in Williamson Co. I think William might be the son
of
my great grandfather John Wesley King, who lived in the Florence
area
in the 1850's.
5. ............Ann, if I were
you, I think I'd post a query about your John and John Ray Guinn
on
either or both of these forums.
6. Next I went to GOOGLE.com and
searched for ["bell county" texas guinn] and found the following
two
entries--Henry could be a cousin or a brother:

7. Next I found this obituary from
the
Temple Daily Telegram in Bell Co., TX, located at:
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bell/obits/templedailytelegram/1999/oct99.txt
Friday, October 15, 1999-- GUINN, Charles E., 85,
Belton,
11a.m., First United Methodist Church, Belton. Scanio-Harper
Funeral
Home,Temple, in charge.
Below is a copy of the elder John
Ray
Guinn's death certificate where it states that his wife, Vena,
reported
that his father's name was J. R. Guinn but that she didn't know
his
place of birth or his mother's name. She also reports that
they
moved to Temple from another place in about 1897 (38 years
before).

Here is Ancestry.com's summary of a John R.
Gwenn's family in the
1880 census of Lampasas, Texas.
Whether this is our John Ray Guinn or not is
anybody's guess right now,
but
if
it is he,
then
his
dad must've died and his mom remarried Mr.
Brown.
This could be why Vena didn't know his mother's name
when she was
answering questions for his death certificate.
I've looked for them without success in 1870.

Subject: John R. Guinn, Vena Lee Howorth Guinn Website
Good Afternoon,
I came across your website for the Guinn family and would like
to offer
the information I have about the Guinn family. I am the
granddaughter
of Leota Guinn Hinds (daughter of John Ray and Vena Guinn).
John Ray Guinn was
born
to John W Gwin and Mary Miller in 1872 in Lampassas County.
He married
Vena 26 Oct 1896 and passed away 23 Oct 1935 in Temple, TX.
Vena Lee Howorth Guinn was born to [unknown first
name]
and Rosa Howorth abt 1885. She passed away 7 Apr 1968 in
Temple, TX.
Children of John Ray and Vena:
John Ray Guinn
DOB: 08
Sept 1900 in Lampassas County TX DOD: 30 April 1956 in
Stephenville TX.
John Ray Married Theora Willie Bartlett in 1921. They had
a son, John
Anthony (1922-1951) and possibly more children. We didn't
really keep
in touch.
Ruthie Lucille Guinn Baskin DOB: 03 Feb 1903 in
Temple,
TX DOD: 16 March 1999 in Temple, TX. She married D.Q.
"Jack" Baskin
(DOB: 21 May 1900 in Canton, TX DOD: 9 Dec 1988 in Temple,
TX) on 4
Sept 1926. They had no children. Jack has a street named
after him off
Avenue H, next to the Santa Fe Hospital in Temple. He was
a long time
railroad employee. Lucille was a secretary for Shirley
Richards
Insurance.
Nona Mae Guinn Sherman DOB: 06 Feb 1913 in
Temple, TX
DOD: 24 June 1989 in Temple, TX. She married John Francis
Sherman (DOD:
1970) and they had one child: Lucille Sherman Harris (born
1946). Nona
Mae was a nurse, and Johnnie worked for the railroad.
(My grandmother) Leota Guinn Hinds DOB: 27 Aug
1915 in
Temple, TX DOD: 20 Jan 2001 in Temple, TX. She was married
to James
Clara Hinds (DOB: 21 Apr 1898 in Carl Junction Missouri
DOD: 19 May
1984 in Temple, Texas). They had one child, my mother
Patriaiann Hinds
Coufal (born 1946). J.C. was a draftsman and was involved
in the design
and planning of oil refineries in the United States and
South America.
John Ray and Vena also had other children who
passed away
when they were young. We always heard them referred to as
"Little
Brother" and "Little Sister." At least one is buried in
Hillcrest
Cemetery in Temple.
I have photographs of everyone saved to my family tree on
Ancestry.com
along with more information and stories. Do you have access to
ancestry.com?
And here's a link to all my family data posted on
