So many people have tried to help me with my John Gwin...I believed he was the one who married Mary Boswell in Dec 1841 in Union Co Ill. and was in the 1850 census of Macoupin co ill with Mary and 3 children, Huldah, William and Alexander. Then a reader found them for me, spelling the last name Gwinn, in Bourbon Co Ks in 1860 with the above three and 3 more children, Arenna, Octava and Orril, all but Arenna born Ill, she was born Mo. Then they disappeared. I have looked under the differnt spellings of Gwin but to no Avail..Their Son Alexander is married and in the Missouri and sister Octava is living in the household with him and his young family....I read in Family Search that John Gwin, born Tn 1815 married Mary Boswell 1841 Union Co Ill, died there in 1845..If this is so, I am chasing the wrong John and Mary....Appreciate any advice or help Thanks Ann Givens Have a great day!
