Guinn
Hi John!
It has been a long while since we have
corresponded. I think I have found Armitta's
father! Just wanted to get your take on this.
Thanks for your help and insight. Let me
know if you have any questions.
Diane Yarbrough
Dallas, Texas
I have been researching
Reuben Davis Guinn.
I have reason to believe that he is my ggg grandfather
if he married a 2nd time, but have yet to make a
concrete connection between him and Armitta Jane Guinn.
I have gathered a bit of information about his first
wife, Emeline
Harris Guinn, and their six
children. Reuben was born in Alabama.
Emeline was born in Mississippi. Reuben and
Emeline were married in Alabama. They had six
children, one born in Alabama, three in Mississippi, and
two in Texas. Emeline died in 1850 in Navarro,
Texas, from puerperal fever, ten days after giving birth
to their son Wiley D. Guinn in Feb 1850.
Knowing that Reuben's smaller children were parceled off
to the Harris family members in Texas, the older
children were placed on other neighboring farms, and
that Reuben was 36 at the time of her death, I am
thinking (hoping) that he married a 2nd time and started
another family in Texas during the 1850's.
Here is what I know:
(Attached is a study of Reuben's family names; sibling
chart. The names in red are those which repeat
between the generations.)
Before the war Reuben was in Texas, and then I find an R. Guinn
reporting to the Pine Bluff, AR, tax officials after the
war, approximately 20 miles from Bartholomew Township,
Jefferson County, where Armitta, James and David are
living in 1870 with Anna Turkenette. I don't know
where he is during the war. He turned 50 in 1864,
so he most likely did not serve. He was a wheel
wright and wagon maker and associated with
blacksmiths. So he could have worked for the war
effort. I have found a Reuben Goen, confederate, 8th
Regiment, Texas Infantry (Hobby's) Company H,
Private. I am currently checking this piece of
information out with other Civil War buffs.
In the 1866 Arkansas Districts two and three of the US
tax assessment, there is a W. B. Green listed next to an
R. Guinn.
Thomas Jefferson Green, Armitta's husband, grew up in W
P Green's household his entire life until he married
Armitta. Is this where the Greens and the Guinns
get introduced?
The 1870 census below (which I have already shared with
you) is my oldest data I have for Armitta. In
later censuses she stated that her parents were born in
Mississippi. Knowing that Reuben lived for a
period of time in Mississippi before coming to Texas,
maybe this was the only information Armitta would have
had about her parents.
As for Anna
Turkenette, I have yet to make a
connection, but there are Turknettes and Monks living in
the adjacent counties to Navarro and Ellis counties were
Reuben purchased property. (See attached maps.)
Reuben Davis Guinn: has property in Navarro Co.
and Ellis Co., TX
Charles Guinn (younger brother): has property in
Collin Co., TX
Wiley Preston Guinn (younger brother): has
property in Cooke Co., TX
These counties are satellites of Dallas.
Armitta named:
her first child Reuben
Ebenezer (After her father?)
her second child Wesley (after her uncle John Wesley,
Reuben's brother?)
her third child John Buck (after her uncle John
Wesley, Reuben's brother?)

Guinn
Hey John!
Just thought that I would share an update on Reuben
Davis Guinn.
Don't you just hate it when the FACTS get in the
way? Well, Reuben Davis Guinn is not my ggg
grandfather. Armitta and her brothers were born
during the 1850s.
I recently found listings of Rueben's probate records
and documentation from his administrator Lorenzo Dow
Powell (Reuben's brother-in-law). I sent off for
several listings from the County of Navarro and was so
excited when they arrived only to find out that Reuben
died in testate on 05 Nov 1850 in Navarro County,
Texas. (Navarro Texas Probate Records; Term 1850
Book C, pp. 346 - 348)
Reuben died approximate nine months after his wife
Emaline (Emily) B. Harris Guinn died from puerperal
fever. He left six children behind possibly a
seventh according to the 1840 Chickasaw County,
Mississippi census.
I still think that I am close to the right
family. I am going to see if I can find that
child that was born between 1832 - 1835 listed on the
1840 census. If Armitta's oldest sibling was
born in 1852 it is a possibility that this seventh
child could be her father. The R D Guinn that I
find the the 1866 Tax Collections below in an earlier
e-mail to you could possibly be this child. R D
Guinn Jr.??????
Well.........Happy Hunting to me!!!!!!
Hope all is going well with you!
Thanks for your continued interest. Will keep in
touch.

Diane,
Here's a better idea, I think: I've placed them
at the bottom of the page as an appendix to which I
can link any data we wish later.
Nothing is online yet--I'll upload everything at once
when they're all in place.

Diane,
Yes, I got it.
I looked for it earlier as well (on Mar 24), and there
it was also--opened but unanswered. I have no
idea what I did with it then, so please accept my
apologies in my ignorance. I have to go in a
moment, so no time now to study it. If you do
not hear from me in two days, please write again!
Hopefully I'll talk to you tomorrow on this.
