Their Son Alexander shows up married in 1880 census in the greene twp in Lawerence Co Mo, married with three kids a sister and sisterinlaw in household.....Don't know what happened to sister Octava after that either...I know where Alexander and his family went, but John and Mary is a mystery as are the other children besides Alex....HELPPPPPPPPPP...Thanks Ann Givens Sorry, I have never heard of them. The only place I have looked for Gwins is West Va. and CAss County, Indiana. Very limited area.
