Hi, still looking for my family lines on the Guinn/Gwin. We can only go back to Andrew Guinn born 1807-1811 per census records. New family info I have received from another line from one of his other sons that he was Andrew J. "Sam" Guinn born in Black Mountain, Buncombe Co. NC. Every census Andrew told the census taker he was born in NC, in reality this may mean he was born in Washington Co. NC but became TN. Andrew married into the Ricketts/Allison families of Burke Co. GA. Andrew moved with these families to Union/Fannin GA in the 1840's. 1840, he is Buncombe with wife and child. 1850 census Union, GA. 1860 Fannin, GA. 1870 Union, GA. In 1850 there is an older female (Elizabeth) born around 1789 living with them. The census taker did not change names and I know it is not his wife's mother. Because her mother and father are already on that census. Andrew 1st son is Samuel R. Guinn, 2nd William M, 3rd son Andrew, 4th son George Allen, 1st daughter, Nancy, 2nd daughter Elizabeth. These names stay with the family in naming future children. William died during the civil war fighting for the South. Samuel R was wounded at Gettysburg. Sent home on leave, was elected tax assessor for Fannin Co. GA, never returned to service, listed as deserter but received full pension in Alabama till he died. Samuel R. Guinn married Centhia Davis in Fannin Co GA, unknown. They moved with their children to Bartow Co. GA in 1880. By 1890 they have moved back to the mountains of DeKalb AL. Samuel and Centhia are buried on Lookout Mountain, AL. Part of the kids including Gordon Andrew then moved to Callahan Co. TX around 1900. Gordon Andrew is my direct line. It is said that they moved to Alabama, to be near other relatives. Andrew's youngest son George Allen marries and moves family to Cobb Co. AL, where Rebecca (Andrew's wife) lives to be 95 and is buried there. Her family came to North Carolina via Maryland, Pennsylvania,Virginia. My Gwin line spells their last name GWIN, family history so we will know that we are related to this line. George Allen keeps the GUINN spelling. Also to make a long story short, yes I married a Kincaid, there is no direct connection to the Kincaid's of VA. This line came from York SC, before the Revoluntary War but did mix with the VA Kincaids in Burke Co. NC before going on to Gilmer/Union Co. GA. in the 1830's They intermarried into the Patterson, Black, Chastain families. It does appear that if you find the Ricketts, Allison, Kincaid, Chastain, Medaris, Burgin families, my Guinn/Gwin are with them. funny story on myAnother Gwin line, older relatives say we are "Swiss". Hope to hear back from you soon. Pam Kincaid

Hi: I was wondering if your Elizabeth, Nancy's sister could be the great grandmother I am searching for. I only know that her name was Elisabeth J. Gwinn (not sure of the spelling either. Found the middle initial on property records). She married a Harvey Little and lived in Indiana and then moved to Viriginia City, NV. Had two children, a daughter Ida and a son, my grandfather, Arthur Leroy. Probably not but just thought I would give it a try. This search has been the proverbial brick wall. Thanks for your time.
