I cannot find this individual in Jesse Blaine Gwin's book. I did find some Samuel's, variouis spellings, but they were either too late, i.e. born after your Samuel's death, or from a different area of the country (Virginia, Tennessee, etc.). I can find no information on this family. I checked all spellings (Guinn, Gwin, Gwinn, Gwyn, Gwynn, etc.) and could not find this family. I tried using the names of his children and could not find them either. Sure wish I could have helped more, but there just isn't anything on this family in the book. I wish I could have helped more, I know how hard it is when you hit a brick wall, trying to get through it. If you come up with anything else, I will look again.

I am hoping to find out who his parents were, where they came from, and hopefully, which one of his daughters married Joseph England. I know that his daughter Margaret married Daniel England, but know really nothing about any of his other children. Surry Co, NC will abstract book : 2:60a Will of Samuel Guinn, 7 JUL 1784.
