    3. I found an original copy of this from the Draper Manuscript collection on Robert Gwynn of Jassamine county Kentucky. One now deceased researcher had claimed this piece of information would prove that Robert Gwinn Jr son of Robert Sr of Augusta county VA was the one who was in Kentucky very early on. In an interview with Robert Gwynn of Jassamine (KY) it states he came to Kentucky from Augusta county Virginia. His father came as well, along with a David Kincaid (he left Ky when the game became scarse and went along with Boone (Daniel) to Missouri (among other places). To me all it proves is that this Robert Gwynn came from Augusta Virginia to Ky in 1784 and his father returned back to "Calf Pasture" at some point in time. Not where he fits into the family tree. This Robert Gwynn was interviewed about 1848 so he can't be Robert Jr if he died in 1818. It is possible this is the son of Robert Jr? Any Kentucky Gwinn descendancts needing a copy of this interview just email me. Any thoughts on Robert Jr would be appreciated. I did also find a page among the Preston papers that "Received of Wm Preston eight shillings in full for ? days work at Fort amherst of my son Robert Jun. full of all amounts before this 22nd Nov 1759." Don't understand what it is at the moment. Beckie
