M. Gwin Note: Sarah
shows up in the 1850 census living with
Elias, but when I first saw her there, it
was unclear to me whether she was his wife,
daughter, or (perhaps widowed)
daughter-in-law. I listed her here as
his daughter until I knew for sure, since
her age fits--two years younger than
Rebecca, two years older than William.
And now we know from Elias' will that this
is correct.]

For
the following five reasons, I'm
confident that this is our Elias, the
subject of this page. Both this
Elias and ours were born in North
Carolina in either 1783 or 1784, lived
in Macoupin County, Illinois in 1850,
and had a daughter named Sarah A. Gwin
born in 1810.

This
is Elias Gwin's oldest daughter, Sarah A
Gwin, born in 1810. She may have
married, divorced, and taken back her
maiden name, but I think it is more
likely that she has never married.
She was born in Tennessee, the place
Elias and Rebecca stopped on their way
to Macoupin Co., IL. She is listed
first in Elias' list of his children in
his will, my first source of his
children. She may have moved back
to her family home to help her widowed
father care for the three children of
her siblings, or she may have never left
home, having never married.

I'm not sure
who this person is, but we have several
clues that may help eventually identify
her. The fact that she was born in
Tennessee suggests that she, like Sarah,
above is a child of Elias. Her age
here suggests that she could be the
youngest of Elias' children.
Elias' son William had a daughter,
likely his first born child, named
Rebecca Lucinda, who may have been named
after this Lucinda. The fact that
Elias does not list her with his eight
recorded beneficiaries suggests that
this Lucinda may have originally been in
the will with the other eight of his
living children but died between the
time Elias wrote his will in 1845 and
the time he actually died and so was
erased from it.

I'm not sure
who this person is. His family
name suggests that he is perhaps a child
of one of Elias' four known sons:
William, James, Alexander, or John W.
Of these four, we seem to know the most
about William, who doesn't mention a
child named Joseph OR Elias. That
leaves James, Alex, and John. Of
these, I have learned the names of six
of James' children, none of which is
Joseph or Elias; therefore, I believe
that these two are sons of either Alexander
Gwin or John W. Gwin OR possibly (but
less likely) one is a son of one and the
other is a son of the other. If I
am right, then, this could suggest that
the parents--Alex and his wife or John
and his wife--have both died and that
Elias is raising the orphans,

I'm not sure
who this person is, but his name and age
suggest that he is the son of James
Pearson and Tabitha Gwin Pearson,
probably the one listed below as
#24.06. Why he is listed here at
age three in 1850 living with Elias
instead of his parents is not clear,
UNLESS Tabitha has just died and her
widower has asked his father-in-law to
help care for the child until things can
get settled.

Parents
of Elias Gwin (b. 1783,
NC)
I
am a fifth great-grandson
of Elias and Tabitha
(Weatherford) Gwin's son,
William Gwin and his wife
Jane Malinda Kilpatrick.
They were two of my
maternal
fifth
great-grandparents. Their
daughter Rebecca Gwin and
Manoah Walker (son of
Peyton Walker and Martha
Huddleston) were my fourth
great-grandparents.
I found
out that Elias'
parents were William
Gwin and Nancy
Childress.
He named his firstborn son
after his father. He
definitely was not the
son of Baysden Gwin
and Sally Maddox who
had a son named Elias
who was much younger
than he was.

The following obituary is taken from
James' good FindAGrave memorial:
OBITUARY--The
Fort Scott Tribune, June 20,
1910, Page 6
James H. Guin [sic--Gwin]
was born in Macoupin county, Ill., on
December 23, 1835, and died at the home
of his daughter in Crawford county,
Kan., June 16, 1910, at the age of 76
years 2 months, 21 days. He was married
to Eliza Mayberry [sic--should be Mabery]
October 1857.
In 1861 he accepted
Christ as his savior and became a member
of the Methodist church, in which faith
he continued until death. In 1866 he
moved with his family to Kansas and
located six miles south of this city,
where he has since continued his
residence. His life companion was
called to the better world a few years
ago. He leaves five children and
several grandchildren to mourn their
loss. The funeral service was
conducted Sunday at 1 p.m. from the
Pleasant View school house by Rev. L. G.
Wood of the Brethren church.
James Guin [sic--Gwin]
was well known throughout the county and
was highly respected by all who knew
him, which was evidenced by the large
concourse of sympathizing friends who
attended the funeral. He was a
loyal citizen, a good neighbor, a kind
father and a devoted Christian.
May these characteristics be held in
sacred memory to help and bless the
living. His last request was that
his grandsons act as pallbearers and
bear his body to its resting place,
which request was carried out in full,
and interment was made at Pleasant View
cemetery by the side of his companion.]

OBITUARY:
E.
F. GWIN PASSES AWAY; WAS PIONEER
Elias Franklin
Gwin, well known and highly respected
resident of Montrose {i.e., CO},
passed away at 8 o'clock Tuesday
morning at Montrose Hospital from
pneumonia with which he had been ill
about a week. He had not been in
good health for some time, and the
attack of the disease made rapid
inroad upon his constitution.
Deceased was 67
years and 20 days of age. He was
born in Illinois and came to Montrose
about 26 years ago, having lived here
since.
He is survived by
the following children: Mrs. A.
Toler of Hallett, Oklahoma; James
Gwin of Hallet, Oklahoma; Dorothy
Allison of Grand Junction; Ernest
Gwin of Goble, Oregon; Dave
Gwin of Los Angeles; Harvey
Gwin of Montrose; Archie
Gwin of Los Angeles; Mrs.
Earl Hill of Riverside, Calif.,
and Mrs. Earl Cullins of
Kansas City, Mo.
Deceased was a
member of various Masonic bodies,
including Blue Lodge, Chapter Council,
Commandery, and Shrine and had held
offices in some of them. The Masons
will have charge of the funeral with
burial in Olathe Cemetery, beside his
wife who passed away some years ago.
Time of funeral will be announced
later upon receipt of word from the
children who are of a distance.
IMPRESSIVE
SERVICE FOR LATE E. F. GWIN
Amidst a profusion
of most beautiful flowers and floral
offerings that surrounded the casket,
the funeral services for the late E.
Frank Gwin were conducted from the
Pond chapel at 2 o'clock Friday
afternoon. The
chapel was filled with sorrowing
friends and members of the Masonic
Lodge of Montrose, who attended in a
body, together with an uniformed
escort of eight Knights Templar, of
which deceased was a member.
Rev. Lester C.
Pritchett of the Congregational church
gave a most comforting message
surrounding the thought "I shall be
satisfied when I awake in His
likeness."
Ralph Vota sang two songs, accompanied
by Loyde Hillyer, "Wonderful Peace"
and "When I Go Home".
A concourse
followed the remains to their burial
place in the Olathe Cemetery where the
Masonic burial service was carried
out. The Knights Templar acted
as an escort for the body.
Children of the
deceased present were: Harvey K. Gwin,
Montrose; J. P. Gwin and Mrs. A.
Toler of Hallett, Okla., Mrs. Dorothy
Allison of Grand Junction, and Mrs.
Naomi Cullins, Kansas City.
The bearers were
brothers of the Masonic Lodge, W. D.
Jay, W. L. Perkins, H. W. Wottring, J.
F. Krebs, George W. Martin and W. L.
White.
Deceased had been
an active man in the affairs of
Montrose since he moved his family
here twenty-six years ago. The father
of a large family, he reared them to
fine manhood and womanhood in this
area, and they are now out in various
parts of the country, taking their
places in the affairs of life, all
respected and honored in their
respective communities. Frank
Gwin followed various pursuits here
and was at the time engaged in the
mercantile business here. He was
a splendid citizen and friend, that
friendship being attested by the
out-pouring to pay last respects in
his memory. Quiet, jovial,
always attending to his own business,
he never meddled in the affairs of
others, finding so much good in
everybody that he could always be
heard extolling their virtues rather
than giving voice to their frailities.
He was an ardent
Mason--he lived the beautiful
teachings emanating from the lodge
room. Any man who follows out the
precepts taught by
the society in which he holds
membership and does his best to live
them, is bound to be a good citizen.
This Frank Gwin did, and for his
excellent virtue he will ever be
remembered by his brothers and friends
most tenderly.
To his children the
sympathy of this community is
extended.]

DEATH OF MRS. MEYERS
Passed
Away at Mercy Hospital
This Morning--Had
Been Ill Two
Years--Funeral Tomorrow at 2
Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Meyers of 623 South
Barbee passed away at Mercy Hospital
this morning at 4 o'clock, following an
illness covering a period of two
years. The cause of death was
paralysis. The deceased was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Gwin
of the Godfrey neighborhood, pioneer
settlers, for whom the Gwin schoolhouse
was named and which stands on the old
homestead.
Mrs. Meyers was the wife of John Henry
Meyers who died November 2,
1926. She leaves the
following relatives: James H.
Joseph of Chaflin, Kas, and Carl Stroud
of Standbury Mo., children; E. F. Gwin
of Colorado and Lewis Gwin of El Dorado,
Kas., brothers; and one sister, Mrs.
Rena Evans of Radley, Kas., all of whom
will attend the funeral. Also the
deceased leaves one granddaughter and
three grandsons. One daughter,
Mrs. Blanche Fetters, is deceased.]
[John M. Gwin Note--5 Sep 2020:
I'm having trouble understanding the
above obituary which states that the two
children of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Gwin
Meyers were both named Gwin. This
would mean they were both born out of
wedlock, i.e., before she married
Theodore Stroud. If this is so,
who are the fathers of "E. F. Gwin of
Colorado" and "Lewis Gwin of El
Dorado, Kas."? Or perhaps the
newswriter erred, entering their
surnames incorrectly.
Nevertheless, I have listed them below

Tommy's Early Start--A
Premature Birth
The traumatic story of
a premature baby's
birth.
By Darlene
Almer
After 14 years of
marriage, at age 37,
suddenly I was
pregnant. I didn’t
believe my own eyes
when I checked the
pregnancy test--it
just couldn’t be
positive. I called a
good friend to have a
reliable witness to
the definite pink
circle showing
positive results. A
baby was coming!
Truly a miracle had
been bestowed on us,
and my joy overwhelmed
my soon-to-be
expanding body.
At
25 weeks, I had an
ultrasound. The
technician and I were
playing and truly
enjoying ourselves,
watching the baby move
and recording a tape
so my husband, Jim,
could share in the
sneak peek viewing of
our son.
(Amniocentesis at 16
weeks showed that we
were expecting a son.)
At the end of the
ultrasound, the
technician asked me to
wait while she talked
to a doctor.
After she returned, I
was sent to the
hospital. Fluid was
found where fluid
should not be. My
OB-GYN, Dr. Duncan,
checked me but could
find nothing
wrong. Just to
be on the safe side,
he kept me in the
hospital overnight for
monitoring.
The
next morning, with no
contractions in sight,
he sent me home on bed
rest and told me to
see him the following
day. That evening, I
noticed things
happening that seemed
a little strange, so I
called Dr. Duncan and
was sent once again to
the hospital--the
ominous diagnosis:
premature labor. I
asked, "How can this
be labor? I am having
no pain or discomfort,
only some tightening
around my stomach, and
it gets hard." With
the physical exam, I
had another of the
"contractions" and Dr.
Duncan said, "Oh, no.
I think you’re going
to be delivering
tonight." Labor was
progressing. I was
hooked up to three
different medications,
a monitor for myself
and a monitor for the
impatient little one
inside me. Then they
stood me on my head,
or so it felt, with
the bed tipped up at
the end by my feet. I
felt the hot flashes
and racing heart as
the magnesium sulfate
entered my blood
stream. Though it
sounds silly, a cool
rag helped me keep
myself under control.
It didn’t take long
for the doctor to
realize labor was not
being stopped, but was
progressing steadily
and quickly. I kept
silently asking my son
why he was in such a
hurry to come into
this world, begging
him to just be
patient, he still had
three months before he
was due. But, as I
have learned since he
was born, he had a
mind of his own, and
it was made up.
To
allow the best chance
of survival for what
we knew was going to
be a very small baby,
Dr. Duncan told me I
needed an emergency
C-Section. Because we
needed to do it
quickly, I would be
totally asleep for the
procedure. Since the
nearest neonatal
intensive care unit
(NICU) was 50 miles
away from Longview,
WA, where we lived,
the team was called
and told to come up to
get my son right away.
Jim was told he could
be with me for the
procedure if he wanted,
but, bless his heart,
he doesn’t handle
things like that very
well. He has a hard
time just being in a
hospital, much less in
the actual operating
room. So he kissed me
and held my hand to
the OR and stood vigil
outside the door while
the procedure was
performed.
Dr.
Duncan was more than
just my doctor. I had
worked in the
bookkeeping office of
his medical practice
for five years, and he
knew how important
this child was to us,
how wanted this child
was. He was personally
involved in this one.
That he was so
personally involved
and cared so much
about my son’s
survival was very
comforting to me.
Everything had gone so
quickly, it was mind
boggling. I remember
feeling a strange
sense of calm as I
surrendered to the
anesthetic, somehow
feeling that God had
given us this child,
and He would not take
him away from us.
Thomas James Almer, as
we named him the day
after his birth,
arrived on Wednesday,
June 10, 1992 at 1:44
a.m. He weighed a mere
one pound, eleven and
a half ounces and was
only thirteen inches
long. He was
extremely active and
strong, breathing on
his own, but was put
on a ventilator to aid
his very small,
premature lungs so as
not to tire him. He
was doing so well, the
Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit (NICU) team
from Portland, Oregon
patiently waited for
me to dig my way out
of the depths of
anesthesia so I could
see him before they
transported him in the
specially equipped
ambulance to Emanuel
Hospital to be cared
for until he was big
enough and strong
enough to come home.
Everyone forgot one
thing--I wear contacts
or glasses to see any
further than to read a
book--and with
fighting to come out
of anesthesia on top
of my nearsightedness,
all I could see was a
small pink shape in
the portable
incubator. Then he was
gone, and the
anesthesia once again
claimed my
consciousness.
The
next morning, I awoke
in the maternity ward,
feeling as if it had
all been a dream.
There was no little
Almer baby in the
nursery, and my hand
kept straying to my
still swollen tummy,
expecting the movement
and kicks I had grown
to love so much. The
wonderful doctors at
Emanuel provided me
with almost immediate
and very frequent
reports. Even
so, from the private
room on the surgical
floor I had been moved
to, I passed many
hours imagining what
must be happening to
my tiny son so far
away from his mommy.
After two days, I was
released to go be with
my son. As Jim and I
drove the longest 50
miles of my life, we
kept running into
accidents, traffic
jams, and construction
delays. I began to
feel very anxious and
felt like everything
was conspiring to keep
me from my son. I felt
like I could walk
faster than the car
was moving. Jim
held my hand and tried
to comfort me, but I
was too jumpy and
nervous, my heart
beating so fast, tears
threatened to find the
familiar path (built
the last few days)
down my face.
We
finally made it to the
hospital, but because
of the distance to the
NICU and my recent
bout in the operating
room, Jim pushed me in
a wheelchair. We went
down a long hallway,
turned and went down
another long hallway,
into an elevator, then
down a long curving
hallway to the double
swinging doors of the
NICU. We had to scrub
and put on gowns as if
we were going into
surgery before
entering the actual
unit.
Finally we were there,
about to walk into
another world. It was
a world which would
seem commonplace and
normal to us after 77
days of visiting our
son. The moment I saw
my son, his incredibly
small body with wires
everywhere and a huge
looking ventilator
tube taped to his
little face, tears
filled my eyes and ran
down my cheeks.
I was truly in the
presence of a miracle
child, and it was more
than overwhelming. I
said something, and at
the sound of my voice,
Tommy raised his
eyebrows and tried to
lift his precious
little head, held down
by the weight of the
ventilator
tubes. The nurse
said "Look! He
recognizes Mommy’s
voice!", and my tears
came even stronger
than before.
After 11 weeks ( 77
days), and four weeks
before his due date of
September 20, we
brought our son home
to Longview on
Tuesday, August 25,
1992. During his
hospital stay and
after he came home,
Tommy endured many
challenges and
setbacks, one of which
turned out to be
visual impairment--but
that’s another story,
one of many, and this
child has provided me
with enough material
to keep me busy for
years!

On FindAGrave I found a memorial (130374239)
for the above entry, which I
have entered here in generation 25 as
"25.01". I believe at least part
of the memorial to be in error, because
Ethyl is listed there as the daughter of
23.03 William Gwin and Jane
Kilpatrick. However, we know that
William died in 1857, and this Ethyl was
not born until some 20 years
later. So until we learn the
truth, I have temporarily listed this
Ethyl as the daughter of
the original Tabby who correctly appears
in the 1850 census at age six
as the daughter of 23.03
William Gwin and Jane Kilpatrick.]

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF SOME
OF ITS PROMINENT MEN AND PIONEERS--1879; Page 200
CAPT. JAMES P.
PEARSON
Was born in Yorkshire, England March
29, 1816. His father, John
Pearson, kept a toll gate and shoe
shop and died when the subject of this
sketch was about five years old.
His mother's name before marriage was
Elizabeth Blankin; she married as her
second husband Matthew Inman and in
1825 came to Clark County, Ohio, where
Capt. Pearson was principally
raised. While his step-father
was living, he was obliged to work and
had little opportunity for attending
school; most of his education he
obtained after he was married.
After his step-father died, his mother
was left in comfortable circumstances
and in 1834 came to Illinois. In
November of that year they rented a
farm at Dry Point and settled on it
the next February. For about a
year and a half his mother kept a
public house for the entertainment of
travelers at Dry Point. In 1837
Capt. Pearson was employed in carrying
the mail between Alton and St. Louis,
first on a coach running between the
two places and afterward on a packet
on the Mississippi River. He was
married October 27, 1837, to Tabitha
Gwin, a native of Alabama, and then
went to farming for himself in the
western part of Gillespie township; in
March 1854 he moved to his present
farm in sections three and ten in
Gillespie township.
Capt. Pearson was
one of the soldiers of the Mexican
War; he was mustered in Co. A, First
Illinois regiment, of which his
uncle, William Weatherford, was
lieutenant-colonel, at Alton, July
4, 1846. From Alton his
regiment went to New Orleans, thence
to Matagorda Bay in Texas; it was
stationed a month at San Antonia de
Bexar, and in the fall of 1846 moved
into Mexico at Presidio. They
were afterward stationed at several
points in northern Mexico for some
months and took part in the battle
of Buena Vista in February 1847. In
that fight he was wounded, a ball
carrying away a piece of bone from
his ankle. They remained at Buena
Vista till June 1847, by which time
the war had closed; he was mustered
out at Camargo on the Rio Grande and
reached home July 7, 1847.
This was not Capt. Pearson's first
experience at soldiering; he had
enlisted when only a boy in a
company of volunteers which left
Ohio to take part in the Black Hawk
War. On reaching Vincennes,
Indiana, news reached them of the
closing of the war, and they
returned home. He also took
part in the Mormon war at Nauvoo in
Hancock County. He was first
lieutenant of the company of
volunteers raised in Ohio for
service in the Black Hawk war;
he was first elected
drum-major and then promoted
to wagon-master in the Mexican
war, and everybody familiarly
knows him as Captain.
His first wife
died in February 1848. He was
married in the spring of 1849 to
Mrs. William Little, formerly Miss
Rebecca Gwin, sister to his first
wife. Capt.
Pearson has had six children;
Elizabeth, who married Frank
Johnson, and died in Missouri in
February, 1879; Elias, who died in
1855 at the age of eighteen; -Rebecca, now the
wife of Edward Huddleston of
Gillespie township; Martha Ann, who
married Nelson Pope of Dorchester
township; Mary, now Mrs.
Robert Drury, of Brushy Mound
township; and James M. Pearson,
the youngest son, who is farming in
Brushy Mound township.
In politics Capt.
Pearson is a democrat and voted
first for Van Buren in
1836. He had no capital
with which to begin life and now has
a farm of 200 acres in Gillespie
township and owns 640 acres in
Missouri, of which 400 are under
cultivation. He is now one of
the oldest citizens of Gillespie
township.
