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!
Please note that the abbreviation "unk."
(unknown) on this page means that the item in question is unknown
to me, John Gwin, whether or not it is unknown to Thelma and/or others.

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.

There was a daughter, Margaret Ann
Guinn, b. 13 Nov 1851 in Cedar Co., MO, who isn't shown on this
census. (She'd have been nine years old.) I don't know if
she'd died or was visiting a relative. --Thelma

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

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

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.
