I just stumbled across the web page for this society, which looks, at first glance, to be very interesting. Their web page is: http://www.newenglandancestors.org/rs0/about/main/Default.asp and they are "the oldest genealogical society in the country." Since I have New England ancestors for a number of different lines, I am interested, but wanted to find out what others thought about the society and their fee based structure. Is it worth the $60 individual membership? Are there hidden fees? Any other thoughts? Thanks Brian Winn

Hi All, Ready for some Wynne scandal? Check out the latest issue of The New Yorker (Aug 18& 25 -- double issue) --- p. 68, "Love in Venice" by Andrea Di Robilant. The author tells the story of finding long "lost" corresp of an ancestor, Andrea Memmo, to Giustiniana Wynne in the late 1700's. Giustiniana was the dau of a Richard Wynne of the family told about in Fremantle's 'The Wynne Diaries', and the story of her affairs (which included Casanova and became the talk of Europe) is also in the Diaries. The connection to us is that one of the few Wynnes known to come to Va., Thomas Wynne, was an uncle to the above Richard Wynne. My John Wynne line is seriously looking at this Thomas as our immigrant Wynne. Not sure I want to be considered kin to these folks, tho. Myles Johnson

Regards, Mary Winn Anderson Below is the message I sent yesterday: I was at a website http://oldphotos.homestead.com/lost.html and found a picture of Julie Winn Edwards the caption said Julie was 7 years old when this photo was taken; shays she was of Florida. This was on page 25 of these photos. The index at the end says she was from White Springs, Florida. As far as I know, this is not a relative of mine, but thought it might ring a bell with someone.

I only need 426 marbles, but probably should use something else. My wife says I've already lost my marbles. Earl Earl

Hi, No, I have not checked Winn in Ross county but will do so. I just need a place to start and hope that will be it. I do have quite a bit on the Union House that Elizabeth and Peter ran. It is still being used and is the oldest commercial building in Wisconsin still in use. It is now Chances's resturant and is famous for being haunted by what sounds like Emma's son William and a lady in a green dress that shows up in a mirror. I have had people from Rochester sending me ghost stories and when I finally get the story about Elizabeth I hope to go there. Thanks for all the good information Barbara robertlcapps wrote: > Barb, > > I was just reading some information on the Winn's from Licking Co., Ohio > (Hannah Winn Myers) stated that the Winn's were mostly from Ross Co. > Have you check out any information in Ross Co.? > > Marilyn

Barb, I'm sure you have this, but here is proof that Peter did run the Union Hotel. Marilyn http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiracin2/rochalhn.htm The First Brick House in the village was built in 1843 by Peter Campbell, and he kept it as the Union Hotel until 1856, when he died. In I858, Edward Reynolds rented it, and at the end of a year surrendered his lease, which was taken by Peter Silvernale, who dispensed its hospitalities for a year. Silvernale's widow then resumed occupation, and, in 1863, it was purchased by James H. Gibson, who still retains possession

Barb, I was just reading some information on the Winn's from Licking Co., Ohio (Hannah Winn Myers) stated that the Winn's were mostly from Ross Co. Have you check out any information in Ross Co.? Marilyn

Barb, Not sure if you have this or not, but here is a little bit on info. on Emma and Tallmadge Norwood. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norwood/id64.htm 6. Tallmadge10 Norwood (Andrew Gustavus9, Andrew Sickels8, Tobias7, Andrew/Anderies6, Benjamin5, Andrew4, Richard3, Edward2, Roger1) was born March 06, 1837 in New York City, NY, and died Aft. 1910 in (San Francisco, San Francisco Co, CA). He married Emma M. Campbell April 02, 1866 in Lander Co, NV. She was born Abt. 1843 in Wisconsin, and died Aft. 1880 in (Belmont, Nye Co, NV). Children of Tallmadge Norwood and Emma Campbell are: + 15 i. Tallmadge11 Norwood, born Abt. July 1868 in Nevada; died Aft. 1910 in (San Francisco, San Francisco Co, CA). 16 ii. Andrew Norwood, born Abt. 1869 in California. 17 iii. William Norwood, born Abt. December 1869 in New Jersey; died Bet. 1870 - 1880 in (Chicago, Cook Co, IL). + 18 iv. Mary Norwood, born Abt. 1872 in Chicago, Cook Co, IL. + 19 v. June Norwood, born May 29, 1875 in Utah; died July 20, 1940 in San Francisco, San Francisco Co, CA. Will keep looking for you. Marilyn

Hi, I have most of the Norwood things and I am in contact with the person that has the Norwood research site. I have furnished much of that information to her including pictures of Anderew G and Tallmadge.. June was my grandmother and I knew her. My mother was Natalie Tallmadge Paddock. However, we are at a standstill for Andrew G Norwood and do not know what happened to my grandmother's brother Andrew either. Our main problem is finding the gg grandparents and their kin, ie: Elizabeth Winn Campbell and even Andrew Gustavus Norwood. The connection to Sickles for Andrew is not documented, the dates are all messed up and we can't understand how Andrew is really related. I can't find Elizabeth Winn before her marriage in 1836. You are a great researcher. Thanks for your help.

This was sent to me personally by one of my Cuz's, a heck of a nice guy, [Mark Wynn]. I just thought I needed to send it to all of you. Enjoy and have a good week. - Hugs Cuz Becky Hello, Here's a little something to think about.............. : ) The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable. A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the basement with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning, turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time. Let me tell you about it. I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know the kind; he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whomever he was talking with something about "a thousand marbles." I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say. "Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. Too bad you missed your daughter's dance recital. He continued, "Let me tell you something Tom, something that has helped me keep a good perspective on my own priorities." And that's when he began to explain his theory of a "thousand marbles." "You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years. Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900, which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. "Now, stick with me, Tom, I'm getting to the important part." "It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail"; he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round up 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside of a large, clear plastic container right here in the sack next to my gear. Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away. I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focus more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight. Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure that if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time. It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your family, and I hope to meet you again here on the band. 75 year Old Man, this is K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!" You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter. Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. "C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast." "What brought this on?" she asked with a smile. "Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. Hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles...."

And if you receive this e-mail many times from many different people, it only means that you have many FRIENDS.

Hi, Yes the Peter and Elizabeth you sent are the ones. When I found that source it was the first clue that Elizabeth was a Winn othr than my 1st cousin telling me that she had a document that stated her name was Elizabeth WINNE . My problem is that we can not seem to go back from 1836 to find her family or where she had been before. It seems strange that she would be married in Indiana if her family was still in Ohio but I have not found any Winn family to connect to in either state. Of course, Indiana was a territory at the time which might make records more difficult. I really appreciate you sending me the list of marriages. I had seen the record but this will be good to keep too. robertlcapps wrote: > Hi Barb, > > Is this your Elizabeth and Peter? > > Campbell Peter Winn Elizabeth St Joseph 1-24-1836 > > Early Indiana Campbell Marriages, 1800-1850 > > http://www.brumm.com/genealogy/walkers_moyers/certificates/earlyindianacampbells.html > Marilyn

Dear Cuz Myles, During the Great Race [Antique car race] that I was in this summer we went through Wynne, Arkansas. The town provided us a pitstop in the afternoon.

Hi, I have found no Elizabeth Winn or a family that I can connect her with in my searching Ohio. I realize there are Winn families in Ohio but I don't know where to start. She married Peter Campbell whose father and mother, Duncan and Christiana were in Delaware county and Licking county. Of course, the census records do not record names of children born in the early 1800s and I have not found any family that I can start with in Ohio. They may have been passing through to another territory such as Indiana, however I have not been able to make a connection with the little information n I have. I have tried to use her son's name, William Henry and her daughters Emma Maline and Adelia to connect names with a family to no avail . I have been told by a cousin that family records record Emma Maline Campbell and we have thought that might be a family name although it would have been rare with that spelling. Of course, Emma might have been named Emaline and been called Emma. My only other clues are that Elizabeth and her husband Peter ran a hotel called the Union House in Rochester, Racine county Wisconsin and the basement of that hotel was used for an Underground Railraod station during the time they ran it. These leads me to believe they were not southerners. William , her son died in the Civil war fighting for the Union Army. It appears that Elizabeth carried on the hotel keeping after her husbands death. She and her daughter moved to Nevada to the area of boom town silver mining. Elizabeth told the census people different ages. I am guessing she may have been born around 1817. I think she married at a pretty early age and it was in Indiana in Saint Joseph County( 1836) All of the Winn families I can find in Indiana were in the southern part of the state. I have a picture of her and she appears to have light hair and blue eyes although it is hard to tell with a black and white picture. I only mention this because there appears to be a large number of Winn family members that have an American Indian heritage and from her picture it appears that she would be excluded from that group. I appreciate your feedback. I have been getting the emails from the Winn group for months and have seen nothing that would help trace this elusive great great grandmother. As further information, I might add that she married again after her first husband died and she moved to Nevada. She married an Alexander H Wilson . He was a member of a Scottish organization and the Masons and an elected official. After he died she moved to Burbank California and acquired a lot of land in the city of Burbank that she passed on to her grandchildren. She must have been hard working and intelligent to have done as much as she did. She also raised my grandmother and her 3 siblings after her daughter Emma died. Thanks for your help. I hope something rings a bell for someone and I can start climbing over that brick wall to the past.
