    3. I'm trying to find the exact location of the following towns that are reportedly no longer in existence: Gwinntown - Saline County - - This town was settled by three brothers with the last name Gwinn. The Gwinns and their relatives were so numerous that for a long time they controlled the politics of the county and especially of Jefferson Twp. Laynesville - Saline County - - "This ppl was founded in 1870 by John W. Layne, a large stock dealer, shipper and commission merchant. Until 1875 the town grew rapidly and became one of the heaviest shipping points on the river. It was destroyed by the flood of 1881." Pennytown - Saline County - "A black community founded in 1871 by Joe Penny, a black farmer. Probably located very close to the town of Marshall." Mike Flannigan
