Excerpt from Portrait and Biographical Album of Pike and Calhoun Counties, Illinois, published in1891 article on Levi C. Bain."Our subject (referring here to Levi's father, John Bain) was united in marriage in early manhood to Mary Guinn who was born in Lincoln County, North Carolina in 1812...Her father, George Guinn,was a Virginian by birth and went from there to South Carolina with his parents, and thence to North Carolina where he married, taking as his wife Annie Wheeler, a native of North Carolina. He finally moved to the Territory of Missouri, traveling overland and was pioneer of Lincoln County. He bought land near Troy which he developed into a farm and made his home until his death, and his wife also died in Missouri. Mrs. Bain now resides in Batchtown (Calhoun County, Illinois) with her children. She is the mother of 13 children, of whom the following twelve lived to maturity: William, Mary, Effie, Julia, John, Emeline, Rhoda, George, Martha, Levi, Charles, and Sarah. James, the first born, died young."

Miscellaneous--From the assessment list of 1821, the earliest one preserved among the records, it is found that the following were then resident tax-payers. This is almost a complete list of the early pioneers. As far as descriptions of land set opposite to their names indicated, they are classified according to location in each of the then four municipal townships (Bedford, Union, Hurricane and Monroe). In Bedford were: George Guinn, Thomas A. Guinn, William Guinn (listed here).

I have a William GWIN family in Lincoln County that might be connected to your George GUINN. I know very little about them. But there are a few ties to a George GWIN and a Thomas WHEELER that suggest a connection.Witnesses to the will were:
