The updating of the numbering system
used on this page has been completed. Generation 28 is my own;
27 is that of my parents; 29 is that of my children, etc. -- John M.
Gwin, May 2009
The reformatting of the name
font and census data for this page has been completed. --John M. Gwin, Aug 2011
The Gwin families came from Wales,
where the name means "white". All known spellings of Gwin are
believed to be related, including Gwinn, Guyn, Guynn, Gwyn, and
Gwynn. The first Gwins in America settled on the east coast
in the 1740's in Virginia and migrated into Georgia and Alabama.
Sources:
1. My father's brother, James B.
Gwin, Jr., collected a large amount of data from family members
for some forty years--from the 1940's through the 1980's--and
passed that data to me before he died.
2. The U. S. Census has provided much data as well, cited
throughout, most of which I have accessed through Ancestry.com.
3. Some data has been collected from various memorials on
Findagrave.com, as posted there by such sleuths as
Joan
Mcdonald, and
Donna McPherson,
cited below--thank you, friends and cousins!

*1 Annie
Turner--We know that Rufus King Gwin (16 May 1853 - 20 Aug 1927) married an Ann
Turner. If this is the
Annie Turner who is living at the William Gwin home in the
1870 census, then she is very likely the oldest child
(excluding Walter Roark) of Rufus King's Aunt Mary--i.e., Mary
Gwin, William's sister, widow of Drury Roark, and bride of
second husband Mr. Turner on 17 May 1849--this date would make
Mary Gwin Roark Turner's firstborn about 19 in the 1870
census, the exact age of the above Annie Turner. It
would also mean Rufus and Ann were first cousins. We know that
Mary's first husband Drury Roark died when their only child,
Walter, was just 3 or 4; we know Walter himself was killed at
Gettysburg in 1863; and we know that Annie was living with
Will and Roe in 1870. Could Mr. Turner have also died
and Mary just not been able to handle it? Could Mary
also have died, leaving Annie as an orphan? Aha!
Today (25 Oct 2001) I see from the 1850 census that indeed,
Mary and Abel Turner's daughter IS named Anna, who is listed
as 4 months old on Nov. 7, 1850, when the census was taken!

Children of Will and Roe Gwin:

Jane Gwin (1845-1847); -- died as infant
25.03--William Sutton Gwin,
J. P. m. Ida Eliza Basset
[John
M. Gwin Note: William Sutton "Sutt" Gwin
is my great-grandfather, which means that Rufus King Gwin,
Sutt's brother, is my great-granduncle. That makes
his daughter Rosa my first cousin twice removed; her
daughter Lillie is my second cousin once removed, and
Lillie's two children, Walter III and Robert, are my third
cousins.]

"Dead Hog & Roast Pork"
Sirs:
. . . I am particularly annoyed by the manner
you burlesque or satirize Roosevelt's speech [TIME,
Oct. 7], apparently with the purpose of trying to
make him appear slightly ridiculous. . . . You can
make a person stand in a favorable light or
unfavorable yet remain strictly within the truth.
I may say "I ate dead hog for dinner," or I
can say "I ate roast pork." In both cases I would be
correct. The President could get "scattered cheers,"
or he could get applause. Both are correct. But
"scattered cheers" shows your bias in the matter. In
another place, you use the words "My frien-n-nds,"
as though to deride the President's speech, when "My
friends," would do just as well, and carry no sense
of a jeer. You will say no such effect is intended,
but I am the judge of the effect it produces, not
you. . . .
You may as well understand that I am for
Roosevelt, and I stick all the tighter to him when I
discover that the Press is coloring the news against
him, apparently for their own purposes. . . .

Your presentment of facts is such that if I

would have been for him [Haile Selassie].

The colored portrait on the cover goes into my

great honor. Only a few personalities retain a
position there, and among those few are Roosevelt II

These are my
great-great-grandparents, William Gwin (son of John Gwin and
Jane Walker) and
RoseAnna Carlisle Jones "Roe" Wilson (daughter
of Nathaniel
Burdine Wilson and Jane Jones).
The
Nathaniel Wilson, below, living with Will and
Roe, is the right age to be her brother.
If this is he, however, who is the William J.
Wilson listed just below him?
