Surnames: Wynn, Cole Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WMB.2ACE/4891 Message Board Post: My Great Grandmother was born Jan 07, 1881. Both her parents died in some sort of Accident when she was small. She was put in an orphanage and that is all I know. I believe someone said she was adopted to a farm family that over worked her, that is why she ran away at a young age to get married. I am having trouble finding death records on two Wynn's in St. Louis Where she was born. Does anyone have any ideas on finding this family? Or maybe Wynn is her adopted name? I don't know. She married young her husband was Elm Atkinson Cole born in PA about 1881 or 1882 I find Elm to be an odd name but that is what it looks like on my Grandmothers birth Certificate, I don't know where they married because they left the state as they were too young at that time for MO.
