This is mere speculation, but I thought that I would throw this out on the Gwin, Kincaid and Lockridge lists to see your reaction. As many of you know, G. W. Cleek in his Early Western Augusta Pioneers states that Robert Gwin of the Calfpasture was married to Jean Kincaid, daughter of David Kincaid (or Kinkead) of Albemarle County. The problem is no one has been able to prove the existence of this Jean. Jean is also supposed to be a sister of an Isabella Kincaid who married James Lockridge. But James Lockridge is a much older man and the timelines just do not work out. In addition, David Kincaid's will does not mention either a Jean or an Isabella. So ... we have all been looking for a Jean without much success. Mr. Cleek also states that Robert had two daughters, Agnes Gwinn (who married William Lockridge) and Nell Gwin This evening, I was taking another look at Holly Wanless Cochran's excellent Gwin website (http://www.riverduck.com/genealogy/gwin/index.html) when another thought occured to me. (Holly I hope you don't mind me quoting from your website.) Holly raises the possibility that Nell Gwin is a sister of Robert Gwin, Sr. To quote: "[Cleek p.96] says she was a dau. of Robert. However, the dates don't make sense for this - she's more of an age to be his sister. Katrin Queen, 10th December, 1746, examined before justices charged with stealing a silver plate belonging to David Kinked and Winefer Kinked, his wife. Witnesses summoned to testify to character of Nell Guin. To be summoned: Margaret Gay, Patrick McDonald and Mary, his wife, and Elizabeth Thompson. Bond by John Tillery, of Albemarle County, bricklayer. David Kinked, of said county, joyner, and William Wright, of Augusta, farmer. John Tillery. [Chalkley vol 1, p.431] If Robert Gwin did marry Jean Kincaid, and Nell is his daughter, then David & Winnefred Kinkead may be Nell's grandparents. But if Nell is involved in a trial in 1746, doesn't that means she's an adult, i.e. born before 1725 or so? Then she could not be Robert's daughter after all. Note Katrin/Catherine Queen has an extensive history of petty crime in Chalkley and was finally ordered to leave the county. I still wonder if Queen is a corruption of Guinn..." I don't know why this never occured to me before. Holly is correct, Nell is the age to be his sister. But ... she is also the age to be his wife! Could Nell Gwin be the wife of Robert Gwin of the Calfpasture????? Best wishes! Ron Gwinn
