My son-in-law is Guinn. Same name??? priscilla -----Original Message----- From: countycork-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:countycork-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of ranny Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 5:09 AM To: countycork@rootsweb.com Subject: [CO CORK] Anyone researching O Guinidhe: O'Guin/O'Gwin/O'Gwyn? Anyone researching O Guinidhe: O'Guin/O'Gwin/O'Gwyn? Perhaps someone here can help me. I can go back on paper 6 generations to Hardy O'Guin (and various spellings) who was born in North Carolina USA about 1775, died Tennessee USA after 1850. Hardy's son Solomon was born in Tennesse USA about 1805, and eventually moved to Missouri where he raised my ggg-grandfather Benjamin Harrison O'Guin. Various Alexanders, Bryants, Christophers, Daniels, Edwards, Tarlows, Georges, Jameses, Johns, and Patricks bought and sold a lot of land in North Carolina starting about 1742. I have no idea when the family actually left Ireland, or why, or whether they were Catholic or Protestant. According to MacLysaght, the original spelling may have been O Guinidhe from County Kerry or County Cork, and Woulfe says posslbly O Guinye. Is anyone familiar with this surname? I have crossposted to the County Kerry and Bears lists, and Y_IRL at Yahoogroups. Thanks Randy O'Guin, Northern Virginia, USA Check out the Ireland GenWeb County Cork Website at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlcor/ It is a good place to find information related to your family research. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to COUNTYCORK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message No virus found in this incoming message.
