39/39	Homes Guinn	53 [1797]	wm	farmer	VA		I believe that Homes Guinn is most likely Holmes Gwin, and I have NO doubt that his family and my family are related. He certainly must be related to George Holmes Gwin. His age places him in about the same generation as my ggg-grandfather, John Gwin, so in the outline above, I have listed him for now in generation 23.
	Mary Guinn	49 [1801]	wf		KY	CNROW	I've no idea yet as to her maiden name.
	Jessey Guinn	25 [1825]	wm		IN		He appears in the 1870 census as Jefrey. It is clear, then, that both are one person--it's just not clear which name is correct!
	Ison Guinn	23 [1827]	wm		IN		This Ison has to be yet another Isom/Isam/Isham, lending even greater credence to our families being related. [Our own farthest-back Isham Gwin is my gggg-grandfather, father of the above-mentioned John.] He appears in Rutherford Twp. again in 1860 m. to Sarah J. (nee unproven, but possibly Mosier, since a Mosier family lives with them in 1860--a single father and two teenage girls). Oho! The Findagrave.com listing for this person reveals that he is none other than Capt. Isum Gwin

73/73	Jefrey(sic) Gwwin (sic)	45 [1825]	wm	farmer	IN		I think somebody made a mistake--either this is Jesse from 1850 or Jeffrey from 1870 and the 1850 person is Jeffrey. They have to be the same person, regardless of the actual name. I'm tending toward Jesse, however, simply because there are so many namesakes.

74/74	Isum Gwin	44 [1826]	wm	Farmer	IN		The absence of his wife strongly suggests that Isom is a widower, and the age of his youngest suggests Sarah has only been dead two years or less. Further, their son William, who appeared in 1860 as being their firstborn and only four months old, is not here either, nor are other children who would've been born between 1860 and 1867. I wonder what in the world happened to them. The 1880 census does indeed make it clear that Sarah J. died and that Isum remarried Louisa (nee unk.) around 1874.
