[John M. 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.]

Some Good Correspondence


John

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

John,
	Thank you for starting a page for James Edward Columbus Gwin.  
I hope that others can help uncover where he went after his divorce.  
I do know that he did remarry a Margaret "Maggie" Emma Ray McKee
(seen it listed as McRee, many others).  
I do my work in Familysearch, and a James Edward Gwin born 1866
was attached to my tree by someone.  I have not found any link to James
Edward Columbus Gwin and Martha Forman.  So I'm not sure if he truly is a
child of theirs.  
Also, many people have treated James Edward Columbus Gwin and
James Edward Gwin as the same person and linked Martha to both of them
as well as the divorce.  Some have even linked their spouses together
showing James as one person married three times!  
I contacted the manager of the cemetery information for both James E.
C. and Maggie Ray McKee, and she has only the FindAGrave info on her
page. She is currently recovering from a surgery and cannot delve into
more info at this time.  Perhaps when she is feeling better. I have a couple questions about the James E. C. Gwin page.  There is
a Minnie Gwin on the page.  Where does she come from? Also, the Aucoin Ancestry page has James E. C. Gwin as a descendent
of Hugh Gwynn of VA.  He was credited for saving Pocahontas from drowning and was given the current Gwynn's Island in VA from Powhatan.  I have not been able to prove that as records have been destroyed in church fires.
Like you said on the page: "do not accept or share"--do your homework.   Thanks again.  If I find something useful, I will let you know. Kim Wuckovich

John
	David "Davie" William Gwin is my great-grandfather.  Thanks for putting 
him on the page.  I have the info on generations down from JEC Gwin, but I 
can't verify going up the tree.  
	What I have not been able to clarify is if James Edward Guinn is actually 
the child of James Edward Columbus Gwin.  JE Gwin was born in Arkansas 
about 7 years after JEC Gwin and Martha Forman were divorced.  JEC and 
Martha lived in Mississippi during their marriage.  JE Gwin was also born 
some 20 years prior to JEC Gwin marrying Mrs. Maggie Ray Gwin.  So either 
JEC Gwin had a another wife in-between the two or JE Gwin is no relation 
to JEC Gwin.  I have not been able to find him on any census with any 
combination of these parents.  
	Someone in my family did a genealogy search years ago and went back 
through my 3X great-grandparents on my maternal grandparents' side.  They did 
not know where JEC Gwin went after his divorce. 
Thanks for all your research!
Kim
