    1. Help with my WINN family while in PA
    2. Thomas Winn b. cir 1796-1798 Eng. m. 20 May 1823 in Cowesby, Yorkshire, Eng. to Mary Cossins b. about 1796-1798 Eng. Children were: Rachel Winn baptised 25 April 1824 Alice Winn born about 1826 Thirsk Yorkshire Eng. Dawson Winn born 18 Nov 1828 also in Thirsk (my great grandfather) baptised13 Feb. 1829 Elisabeth Winn born about 1830 Ann Winn baptised 25 April 1833 Benjamin Winn baptised 29 May 1836 Yorkshire Eng. This WINN family arrived in US on 10 June 1839 via ship Chevalier in Philadelphia from Liverpool. They are all found in 1840 Washington Co, PA census. That is the last info I have on wife Mary Cossins WINN and son Benjamin WINN. Wonder if the two of them died, or just did not move to Ohio when rest went. Could have been more children also I suppose. Thomas and the daughters are found on census records in OH and WV. Dawson of course I have lots of info on including census, land records, two marriages (Matilda Underwood/widow Mary Malvina Turner Underwood) and lots of descendants. The surname is always seen as Winn on all documents and census records but one --when Thomas at age 76 was living with a dtr and her family in Parkersburg, WV. in Wood County his name was spelled as WYNN. If anyone has any info or idea of where andhow to search in PA I would be very greatful for any help or suggestions offered. Thanks, Virginia WINN Parker CA
