1.  In November 2002 Thelma Guinn Watson checked in.  We're possibly--probably?--cousins through my gggg-grandfather Isham Gwin.  Of course, neither Thelma nor I has any evidence--much less proof--of that yet.  But posting her info here with mine is a good way for you readers to see these pages side by side and perhaps notice a connection based on information you have that we don't.  So please contact either or both of us if you have something that may tie these lines together.  Thelma and her husband Richard live in Stockton, MO.  Contact her by clicking her link in this paragraph.

In addition, if your "unrelated" GWIN line is not here and you, like Thelma, would like me to build a similar page for your known family (or create a link to a page you've already prepared), please let me know.  The cost to you is nothing, and I will serve as your webmaster for whatever information you send and tell me to publish.  My intent here is simply to provide another avenue to help us all find the missing connections for which we've all been looking for so long!

Thanks so much for visiting!  And THANK YOU, Thelma, for sending all these goodies!   :-)

2.  In Dec 2012 Nancy Brewer of Carthage, MO, sent Rebecca's obituary, copied below.  She also has created several Findagrave.com memorials based on its contents.  Thanks for all this good input, Nancy!

Obituary.
The following taken from an Enterprise, Ore., paper [and published in the February 13, 1890, edition of the Carthage Weekly Press in Carthage, Jasper County, Missouri] will be of interest to many of our readers who were acquainted with and loved the deceased:

DIED: At Enterprise, Ore., Jan. 14, 1890, Rebecca E. Gwinn, aged 73 years, 9 months, and 4 days.

The deceased's maiden name was Harvey.  She was born in East Tennessee April 8th, 1816, and married Major Anderson Guinn at Jonesboro, same state, Dec. 17, 1835.  He still survives her. 

During this union, she was the mother of ten children, six boys and four girls  One daughter, Mrs. Sarah E. Landers, mother-in-law to Mr. Dale, of this place, with whom she lives, and five sons, one being here with his father, two, J. B. and S. E. Guinn, both living in Jasper county, Mo., Joe in Dade county and William in Cedar county of same state, together with the devoted husband and a large circle of warm family friends are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate mother, a dutiful wife, and a most exemplary woman. 

The husband of Mrs. Landers was a soldier in the Union army and was killed while thus serving his country, near Ft. Smith, Ark. 

The Guinns are all known as very industrious citizens, the Major being seventy-six years old this month.  He has been a man of iron will and constitution but is much prostrated by his great loss.  The Guinns moved to this county from Dade county, Mo., some time last July in order that the health of deceased might be improved.  When she left Missouri, she had been unable to walk for some time, but was not here long until her health so improved that she was able to look after the affairs of her house.  But on the morning of the 14th she was suddenly stricken down with a chill, from the effects of which she died on the morning of the 15th. 

Mr. Dale, who married the granddaughter of the deceased, will see that the aged husband has the comforts of a home and the care his condition requires.

The 1870 Census of Cedar Co., MO., Stockton P.O., Lynn Township, pp. 21-22, #149/149--FT 8-191, Filmstrip, shows:
 Guinn, David S.  farmer  52  b. ca. 1818  TN
 Guinn, Cynthia    45  b. ca. 1825  TN
 Guinn, Sarah B.    18  b. ca. 1852  MO
 Guinn, David W.    8  b. ca. 1862  MO
 Guinn, John W. or  H.    6  b. ca. 1864  MO
 Guinn, Nancy    5  b. ca. 1865  MO



06. It is possible that the above David S. Guinn is a brother to my grandfather, (William or James?) Anson Guinn--RIN-528, b. 14 Feb 1813 in TN.  They are both listed in the 1870 Census as living in Lynn Township.  Grandfather is listed as Anson Guinn; we're unsure as of this date if he had another name (both William and James are speculative) as well as whether or not Anson was a first or second name. --Thelma Guinn Watson--23 Jan 1995

Grandfather Anson's family is listed in the 1870 Census thusly:
 Guinn, Anson  farmer  54  b. ca. 1816  TN
 Guinn, Rebecca
 52  b. ca. 1818  TN
 Guinn, George  farmer  19  b. ca. 1851  MO
 Guinn, Samuel
 14  b. ca. 1856  MO
 Guinn, Thomas
 10  b. ca. 1860  MO

08. MY RECORDS will now indicate this person as "Anson Guinn" because of the census records showing this name only, and no initial.  Research will continue in an effort to determine:  (a) if Anson had another given name (possibly William or James) and (b) who his parents are, their names and places of birth. --Thelma Guinn Watson--14 Oct 1995



More Good Correspondence


Hello John,
 
I came across your information online http://www.gwingenealogy.net/GENEALOGY/SURNAMES/Gwin/GuinnAnson.htm about the Guinn/Gwinn family.  I found an obituary written for Rebecca in the February 13, 1890 edition of the Carthage Weekly Press in Carthage, Jasper county, Missouri.  It was also printed in a newspaper in Enterprise, Oregon where she died.
 
I thought you might like to have the information and have attached the photo of the obit I copied off microfilm.
I have no idea about where she is buried.  I will presume she was buried in Oregon.  The husband, Major Anson Guinn came back here to Jasper county, Missouri and died here.  Another person I know that has family information that ties into his family is named Ed Seela.  edseela@gmail.com is his contact email.  It is on the web page in Thelma's information that Anson died in 1910 in Jasper county, but I did not find a death certificate.
I have created Find a Grave pages for both of them.

Hope this adds to your genealogy base.
