developing
theory on the "As-of-yet Unrelated" Gwins.
The reformatting of the name
font and census data for this page has been completed. --John M. Gwin, Aug 2011
SOURCES:
1. In May 2004, Ms. Jean Holland contacted me to
see if there was any chance we were working on the same
lines. While such doesn't appear to be the case at this
time, she graciously consented to share her information with us
here in the event other researchers may have complementing
data. If you're one who does, please contact Jean at jlhrsh at comcast dot net
or me at jmcdgwin@zianet.com. Thanks!--John
Gwin
2. We have used Jean's data to search the census records
and have found additional data on this family as cited
throughout.
3. Various contributors to Findagrave.com--such as Airrow
, booklover,
Juanita
Sloan Lowrance, and others--have generously shared data as
well as cited below.

the 7 Jun 1880
census of Nineveh, Adair Co., MO]
[Jean
Holland Note--unk. date: In the
1880 census, Ezra says his parents were from New Jersey.
He bought land in Douglas Co., MO, in 1892. Also, when he left
the National Home for Disabled Soldiers in 1895, he gave as
his closest relative Elizabeth Jane Gwin in Thorn (?)
MO. I don't know who she is! To confuse things, there
were apparently two Ezra Gwins
born in Ohio, maybe the same county, at about the same
time. I say apparently, because you never know!
But the other Ezra
married someone named Hannah Baldwin, and I believe
that they lived out their lives in Ohio, except for a short
time in Michigan. I would guess that they might be related,
but I don't know. The Gwin family always thought that
they were from Wales, and then North Carolina. But I
don't know how accurate that is.]
