Davine: I`m sure you are getting a lot of hits since you stated you were writing a book about the Gwins. I want to offer my family history if it fits. FYI following is a short sketch of my family: James Guyn was born near Richmond VA in abt. 1780. He fathered 6 children the oldest of which was William, my ggggrandpa. According to Goodspeed`s History of NW AR. James moved his family to NC where he raised horses. Soon he went on to VA. in Lee County where William married Nancy Bausell , daughter of Dolly Bausell. William then crossed the mountains at Pound Gap and settled in Perry Co., KY where he had 6 children. The sons were Drury Fletcher (I believe named after his father, Drury Fletcher), James S, and John. They were in Breathitt Co., KY when the Civil war broke out and following the war, they migrated to Crawford and Washington Cos in AR. James S. was my gggrandpa and is buried with most of the early family in Winslow, Wash. Co, AR. If we connect, please let me know. Thanks. With Regards Norris Guinn
