Gwin Note--2 Oct 2020: Yesterday I was referred by a new friend, Ron Gwinn--he is the volunteer administrator for the "Guin,Gwin, Guyn, Gwyn Y-DNA project" on Family Tree DNA--to a DNA chart he constructed. On that chart, the person on line seven, "Isham Gwin, c. 1770, VA - 1830, IN, m. Mary Canterbury", who, according to my research is my 4G-grandfather, has the exact same marker numbers across the board as the John Dove Guinn right below him in row eight! They match on 36 out of 37 markers, and on the one exception, they are only one digit off from each other. That person in the chart's row 8 right below Isham, "John Dove Guinn, 1794-1867", appears to me to be the same person as the one in the white box directly above this note. What do you think?
Now I am trying to backtrack Shawna Aucoin's ancestors to connect to this line. It turns out that she married into this line. The mother of her husband, Douglas Aucoin, was Mary Catherine Gwin, the cousin from whose obituary I learned Robert Van Gwin's name. The next two ancestors were found on Ancestry searches of the various census documents.]

[John M. Gwin Note: The above obituary lists Ray's and Bobbye's ten grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren; however, it is not clear as to who the parents of each are. Therefore, I have listed them below in groups of these four known children (generation 28), known grandchildren (generation 29) and known great-grandchildren (generation 30), grouping families as closely as possible by last names. As we can do further research to determine parentage of each in 29 and 30, we'll move each to its correct position in the outline.]

I’m an searching my Gwin genealogy as well. I am having trouble getting information on a
James Edward Columbus Gwin
born: April 5, 1824 South Carolina
died: Jan 6, 1896 Arkansas (?)
married to Martha Elizabeth Forman born October 12, 1829 in South Carolina
Married Nov 1, 1846 in Noxube, MS
Divorced in 1859
I believe they had 3 children: John Thomas, Joshua Augustus, David William.
James was possibly a Baptist Minister.
Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated

Hi Kim!
Sorry to take so long to get back to you.
No I didn’t have anything when you first write last week, but your search intrigued me. So I started looking and ended up building a page for him!
I’m still looking.
Best to you,
In Jesus,
John
