An Interesting Discovery:
As some of
you know, we have a theory that suggests that
three groups of Gwins may have descended from
one Virginia family. (See more on that theory here.)
Joy descends from the Group One Gwins of the
theory, and her late husband Hal descends from
the Group Three Gwins of the theory! And
if the theory is correct, she married her own
cousin from perhaps as many as eight or nine
generations back. And that means that Hal
Junior and his sister are not only siblings but
also cousins!

[John
M. Gwin Note: Fifth cousin Danny
Gwin found this handwritten note and sent me a
copy. It reads:
Wilsonville Ala Oct 26/05
To the Hon Judge of Probate
Chilton Co., Ala
You are hereby authorized
to issue marriage licens
on demand to I G Gwin Jr.
I G Gwin Sr, Father
This is clearly our family. I. G. Gwin, Jr.,
would have just turned 17 years of age and may have
needed
just such a document as this from his father to marry
Hattie Bolding, who would have been about the same
age as Junior. We know that Junior had
developed or would soon develop a respiratory condition
of some sort
that would require him to move to a higher
altitude. He and Hattie moved their family to
Colorado Springs, Colorado,
where he died 17 Oct 1918 and is
buried.
Thanks for sending this, Cousin Danny!]

Cousin,
My son and I took a "road trip" on his Spring Break
last month, and we happened to ride through Gastonburg,
AL, where my grandfather lived. I showed him the
plot of ground (now occupied by run-down trailers) where
he lived, and visited the old town cemetery where my
uncle is buried. My grandfather, as you may know,
is buried in Morrell, Arkansas where my father was born.
Keep in touch, if you will. All the best.

good FindAGrave memorial.]
OBITUARY
Dr. John Michael Gwin, 64, beloved
husband, father, and professor, passed
away Friday, April 25, 2014 at home in
Chapel Hill, N. C. with his wife Suzette
by his side.
John was born June 21, 1949 in
Montgomery to Irma Rebecca and Emmett
Brindley Gwin.
He graduated from Fairhope High School. A
lifelong learner and teacher, Dr. Gwin's
degrees included a B.S. from Auburn
University, M.B.A. from the University of
Georgia, M.S. in counseling and
psychotherapy from the University of South
Alabama, and a Ph.D. from the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
He married Pamela Jane Blair in 1970 and
had two sons. She passed away in 1998, and
he would meet and later marry Suzette
Burkhart.
Dr. Gwin devoted many of his years to teaching, which
included roles as a professor of commerce at
the University of Virginia's |
McIntire
School of Commerce, professor of
marketing and global business at the
University of Mobile, and adjunct
professor of educational psychology,
engineering leadership and
interdisciplinary studies at the
University of South Alabama.
He also served as a visiting lecturer to
the Universite' de Paris-Sorbonne, and was
a Fulbright Scholar at Trinity College in
Dublin, Ireland.
A member of the
American Mensa organization, Dr. Gwin
worked as a consultant for the World Bank,
the Allied Irish Bank and several Fortune
500 companies.
Following the death of his first wife, Dr.
Gwin returned to his childhood home in
Fairhope, where his parents Irma and E. B.
had owned and operated the Bedsole &
Gwin department
store. There he married Suzette, and
they raised a joyful, blended family. |
Dr. Gwin enjoyed international travel
and took every opportunity to get out
into the world. He was an avid golfer
in his earlier years, and spent a
lifetime fascinated by cars and auto
racing.
Credited with having a profound
and positive influence on many of his
students, Dr. Gwin also enjoyed the
company of his family and lifelong
friends from Charlottesville,
Fairhope, and around the world.
He rarely stopped teaching for a moment,
always willing to provide advice and a
helping hand to those in need. He
equally enjoyed a quiet room to read and
research his interests and could often be
found pursuing new and varied intellectual
topics.
Dr. Gwin was an active member and volunteer
at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in
Daphne prior to moving to Chapel Hill.
Dr.
Gwin was preceded in death by his parents,
Irma and E. B.;
and his
first wife, |
Pamela.

is survived by his wife, Suzette; sons
Colin (Jennie) Gwin and Connor (Emma)
Gwin; stepdaughter Jessica (Marlon)
Lewis; stepson Jerry (Nicole) Burkhart
III; step-granddaughters Ashton and
Aubrey Goundas; and step-grandson

celebration of life service will be held
on the June 28, 2014, at 11 a.m., at St.
Paul's Episcopal Church in Daphne.
