Hello, I'm new to this list and need information on Henry Marion WINN. H.M. Winn is the name he used most often, was born 30 Jan 1865 in possible Tennessee. In the 1910 Census of Little River Co., AR he is listed as being born in Louisiana. In the 1920 Census of Bossier Parish, LA he is listed as being born in Louisiana - but in the 1930 Census of Bossier Parish, LA he is listed as being born in Tennessee - also both parents born in TN. In the 1910 and 1920 census his parents birthplace was U.S. I've searched a lot in Louisiana and have not been successful so maybe Tennessee is the answer. Other information on Henry Winn: Died 3 Apr 1934 in Plain Dealing, Bossier Parish, LA. Married in Bossier Parish, LA to Mary Frances Juretta PATTERSON on 15 May 1898. Henry and Juretta had 5 children: 1. Elizabeth Barbara 2. William Henry 3. Bertha Mae 4. Macil 5. Treba Elnora I believe his parents were PROBABLY a Henry Winn and his wife Barbara - the reason I believe this is that his wife's parents were William and Elizabeth Patterson. If they named their first 2 children after their parents the names of Henry and Barbara would be his parents....I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF - Just speculation. If anyone has any information I would be so appreciative. We've been searching for years with no success. Thanks, Sarah

Hi gang! Thought some of you might be interested in signing this online petition to Virginia lawmakers to protect our unprotected cemeteries (and there are many); we need to protect the burial dignity of our ancestors. All the information you need can be found at the url. Thanks, Barb from VA ----- Original Message ----- From: whoucisme@mindspring.com To: HARRIS-VA-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2003 6:24 PM Subject: [HARRIS-VA] Petition for genealogists, researchers, historians, cemetery preservationists, etc. Fellow genealogists/researchers, Please consider signing this petition for the protection/preservation of "Neglected, Abandoned and Unlicensed Cemeteries in the State of Virginia", particularly if you are researching your own genealogy originating from Virginia. Also, please consider passing this along to others who may be interested in signing such as other genealogists, historians, heritage groups, VFW groups, etc. Thank you for your support and assistance and my apologies to those who may receive this email more than once via the multiple Rootsweb lists that I am subscribed to and have forwarded this to. Sincerely, Sheri Millikin http://www.PetitionOnline.com/hnvr2003/petition.html To: Virginia's lawmakers (General Assembly & Senate of Virginia) We the undersigned request the approval of the Proposed Legislation on Neglected, Abandoned and Unlicensed Cemeteries in the State of Virginia. This proposed act, which may be cited as the "Neglected, Abandoned and Unlicensed Cemetery Act" (proposed/noted as Chapter 3, Article 22A, § 57-22A-1), reads in part the following: (a) The care accorded the remains of deceased persons reflects respect and regard for human dignity as well as cultural, spiritual, and religious values. The General Assembly declares that human remains and burial objects are not property to be owned by the person or entity which owns the land or water where the human remains and burial objects are interred or discovered, but human remains and burial objects are a part of the finite, irreplaceable, and nonrenewable cultural heritage of the people of Virginia which should be protected. (b) It is the intent of the General Assembly that the provisions of this chapter be construed to require respectful treatment of human remains in accord with the equal and innate dignity of every human being and consistent with the identifiable ethnic, cultural, and religious affiliation of the deceased individual as indicated by the method of burial or other historical evidence or reliable information. We ask the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia to approve this proposed legislation to protect all private/family/non-profit cemeteries, particularly those cemeteries which are no longer on property owned by family members, but still frequently visited by family members, researchers, genealogists, and/or historians. These cemeteries contain the remains of Virginia's forebearers. Men, women and children, all who made great sacrifices in a variety of ways to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Many of these cemeteries contain the remains of Native Indians, founders of many areas within Virginia, African-born slaves and their descendants, Revolutionary War heroes and other war Veterans having served in such wars as the War of 1812, War Between the States/Civil War, World War I and even World War II. Please show them the due respect and decency they deserve and approve this proposed legislation so they may, once again, rest in peace.

Dear Wyndell I obviously copied this in the early days of my research when I just copied a page from a book with my ancestor on it. Now I find that I don't have the full documentation on the information. I have much better research habits now. Thank you very much for your efforts in copying these records and making them available for us. I will go and add your name to that page right now. Also sometimes, I find someone will send me something and I have the email information and with various hard drive problems and lost email, I no longer have the details on file. So I am now trying to be sure I get that information and keep it with the small snippet of information. I am not quite sure how Michael Howard came to be selling the land in Cherokee County. He migrated from SC > Pike County, Ga and then to Houston County, Ga. I might have to look at the 1832 Land Lottery.

At 07:46 AM 7/14/03 +1000, you wrote: >Cherokee County. He migrated from SC > Pike County, Ga and then to Houston >County, Ga. >I might have to look at the 1832 Land Lottery. Gaila, If you look at the entry, you will see that it was actually executed in Houston County on May 07, 1839, then recorded in Cherokee on Jan 01, 1940, when A. A. Winn sold the lot to Lemuel Winn. What probably happened here is James A. Bryan was a 'fortunate drawer' in the Gold Lottery of 1832. Many think that when they held the lottery, those folks got the land. They did, and they didn't. <g> What they actually got was the right to pay the State of Georgia $18.00 for a grant for that land. Then they would own it. A. A. Winn, as well as a couple of the other Winn boys bought the rights to many tracts of land in Cherokee County. He probably went to Houston County and approached James Bryon about purchasing the rights to the grant. There is a note on this transaction that says "James A. Bryan did not remember the exact lot number drawn to his name and would be held liable only for the lot drawn to his name." Think this tells us that James never actually owned the property, only the right to the grant. Looks like he got a $100 for being a 'fortunate drawer'. <g> Wyndell >Thank you, >Gaila > >> >time. >> >> As the compiler of these records, the amount is not a typo. <g> There >> were two types of lots parceled out in the 1832 Lottery.

Hi I was wondering if Jack Wynn was on the list? In 1996 or so, I went to Salt Lake City and made copies of the AIS for Winn for 1820 and 1830 and mailed it to Jack. I am a descendant of Mary Winn Busbee (b 1785 SC) of Fairfield or Edgefield District, SC and she moved to Bibb & Crawford County, Georgia. I have now discovered a William Winn in the same church - Little Union Baptist Church in Crawford County. This is circa 1828 and I am trying to determine which William Winn this might be. Jack can you please check the AIS and see if you have a William Winn in 1820 in SC and 1830 in Georgia. If I kept a copy of this AIS, I can't find it . If Jack isn't on this list, can someone please pass this on to him. I did have old emails from him, but with the changeover of computers can't find those old emails. Mary Winn did have a grandchild named Minor, as well as William, Richard etc.I would love to find her family.

Hal - Lemuel WAS in Russell Co, AL in 1850. He's in household 977/977 enumerated 5 Jan 1850: 977/977: Lemuel Wynn 34 M Farmer GA [1816] Ann 37 F GA [1813] Urby 12 M GA [1838] Eliza 11 F GA [1839] William 9 M GA [1841] Lemuel 7 M GA [1843] Clemmont 5 M GA [1845] Mary 4 F GA [1846] Robert 1 M Ala [1849] So based on the birth locations of the children (if correct), I'd say they came to AL from GA between 1846 and 49. Irby shows up as follows enumerated 22 Jan 1850: 1132/1132: Urby Winn 54 M Farmer GA [1796] Elizabeth 45 F GA [1805] Clemmont 26 M Farmer GA [1824] Dudley 25 M GA [1825] Frances 22 F GA [1828] Urby 19 M GA [1831] Nancy 18 F GA [1832] Stephen 15 M GA attended school w/in the year[1835] William 13 M GA attended school w/in the year [1837] Lawrence 11 M GA attended school w/in the year [1839] James 9 M GA attended school w/in the year [1841] Lisa ----- Original Message ----- From: MrMac1000@aol.com To: WINN-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2003 10:50 PM Subject: Re: [WINN] Related Wynn/Lewis/Philips 1850 Russell Co, AL Lisa, Sorry I have been so tardy in replying. I don't have that information in front of me. I know that Jack Wynn of Atlanata has it though. I will try to find something to help you and get back in touch. Lemuel was born in Georgia as were many of his children. he also had several brothers and sisters, but I don't recognize Green Wynn as one off the top of my head. I thought that Lemuel was in Russell County by 1850, but I'm not sure about that - I know that my grandmother's sister married his son in 1866, but they could have arrived after 1850 - I'll just have to do some checking for you. Again, sorry I have been so lax - lots going on right now. Regards, Hal

I do not remember the particular lot that you mention, but many of these lots were sold because they 'thought' there might be gold on them. A. A.

Hello Mary, I checked and cannot find a Henry Winn/Wynn/Wynne in the family that I am related to through marriage. Check with Jack Wynn of Atlanta - he definitely is the expert on Southern Wynns. Sorry I couln't connect or help. Sincerely, Hal

Lisa, Just forund the record with Lemuel's parents: Benjamin Wynne and Elizabeth Dewberry Wynne of Warren County, GA. I looked through the list of children and did not find a Green Wynn, but please check with jack Wynn of Atlanta, because he has a great deal of information about the Southern Wynns/Winns, etc. In fact, as I understand it, he was writing a book on the subject, so he can probably help you find your family. Sorry that I wasn't able to be of more help. Sincerely, Hal
