I have been trying to find information for Emmerly Guin Whitehead and have been unable to find anything. Emmerly was born around 1846 in Union Parish, Louisiana. According to the Census records, there were no Guin's. Could her name have been Le Guin?>> Tina, I have recently found information on the Le Guin family that indicates they moved to Union Parish sometime in the 1890s. My great grandmother's sister, Magnolia Wynn Le Guin was married to Ghu Gilbert Le Guin and according to her diaries they married about this time and soon after that his parents (including brothers and sisters) moved to Union or Lincoln Parish. A grandson published her diaries in 1990 and I just ordered the book and finished reading it this weekend. It was full of family information and some family photos. I was able to see photos of my great great grandfather and grandmother (Dr. James Alfred Crumbley Wynn and Mary Settle Wynn) and there were several references to my great grandmother and her brother who lived in Union Parish. I have to go back and note the dates and names of the Le Guins and the Wynns as she mentioned their visits and some of their death dates. The diaries cover a 14 year period around the turn of the century. She lived in High Falls, Georgia, near Jackson, GA. (Just south of Atlanta) A lot of people apparently came to Union Parish from this region. My Liggin ancestors lived in Georgia for a time before coming to Union Parish in 1945. It is very possible that a Le Guin moved here earlier than the 1880s. I find that frequently families would move to a place where another member had previously moved. I believe my great grandmother Mary Frances Wynn and her family moved to Union Parish because her older brother and his wife were already there. Maradee Liggin Cryer
