Hi, Mark, I notice that one of the family names you are researching is Donnelly. Our earliest Donnelly is Michael Donnelly (born about 1822 in Ireland--not sure where in Ireland). We assume he fled the potato famine in Ireland. He died at age 28 on July 6, 1850 of dysentery on East River Road in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. His occupation was listed as laborer. He was married to Honora ("Nora") Winn (born somewhere in Ireland), and they had a son, Thomas John Donnelly, born July 24, 1849 in Newark. Thomas John Donnelly was baptized at Saint John Catholic Church in Newark. After his father's death, Thomas was raised by John and Mary Dardis in Madison County, New York. His mother, who may have remarried, then disappears from family records. Any information, help, ideas, from you or anyone else researching the Donnellys would be appreciated greatly.

I am looking for any thing on a Nepton / Septon / Lepton Winn. I believe he is the father of Madison Winn who is my GG Grandfather. He was born in Laurens, SC around 1800. Madison was born in 1820. Madison is in the 1840 census and so is another Winn by the name of either Lepton or Septon. Madison had only been married about a year. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Tommye

will do, but it will take a while, don't give up on me. Barbara

Cuz B, I think Mary Wynn(e) who married her cousin Jonathan Wynn(e) is a sister to Rachel and Ann(e). Another researcher I've contacted, Lisa Burford, found a summons of partioni filed in 1824 which listed John Root and Jane Wynn Root, his wife, v.

I have not entered it yet in my gen program, so it will be a while before I do that, but I will work on it if you would like it. Given the names of Ann and James's daughters, along with out information, I am sure Ann is the daugher of Jonathan Wynne and Letitia Hewitt Wynne. Thanks for the info you sent. I have a transcribed copy of a letter written by Susan Millard Houston Reber, a granddaughter of Hugh and Rachel which also states that Rachel and Ann were sisters. Is any of this of interest to you? If you find any more info on these Wynne's, please let me know.

Does this seem odd to anyone else? That is, that the the Winn family would begin using the name "Minor" for generation after generation when that name was the married name of Elizabeth? Also, the dates of births for Elizebeth Stuarts kids by William Minor are after her marriage to John Winn. The one thing that does cause a real problem is that we have often assumed that John married Elizabeth Minor based solely on the fact that there was an Elizabeth Minor in VA at the time John lived there. If we now know that this Elizabeth Minor was married to William Minor and had kids by him around 1707, then this Elizabeth Minor could not have been also married to John Winn. Very interesting. -----Original Message----- From: EAFerguson@aol.com [mailto:EAFerguson@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 01, 2003 8:24 PM To: WINN-D@rootsweb.com Subject: John Winn -Elizabeth Minor I just got this from a Minor family researcher.

Surnames: Winn, Posey, Horton, Braselton, Shackelford, Brodnax Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FgWBAEB/651.1.2.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Rita, Very good to hear from you. I have two email addresses, wdlindsy@swbell.net and indsch19@hotmail.com. The former allows me to receive attachments larger than the hotmail account will allow. I don't want to mislead you: I wish I did have pictures of Abner's brother Elisha, but the ones I have are of several of Elisha's children, including his son Richard Dickinson Winn (1816-1894), a judge in Gwinnett Co., GA, and of Richard's sister Philadelphia Winn Maltbie. I also have other pictures that have passed down in that line of the family (from Elisha, that is). On my own line, the earliest picture I have is not in the Winn side, but a picture of Abner Winn's nephew Carnot Posey, a CSA general from Woodville, MS. As you probably know, Abner was married to Lucretia Posey. Carnot was son of her brother John Brooke Posey. And you're right, our shared ancestor is Abner Winn, b. 1769 in Lunenburg Co., VA. I have pictures, both drawings and photos (I am fairly sure of the latter, but will need to double check my files) of his tombstone and that of Lucretia. They're buried in the Old Northport/Old Robertson cemetery in Northport, AL, which I've visited a number of times. It's in terrible shape, back in the woods and overgrown. My grandfather William Zachary Simpson was b. in Tuscaloosa Co., AL, in 1869, son of Mannen Clements Simpson and Samantha Jane Braselton. Samantha was daughter of William H. Braselton and Elizabeth Ann Winn, who moved in 1856 from Lumpkin Co., GA (formerly they were in Jackson) to Tuscaloosa Co., AL, along with Elizabeth's parents John Alexander Winn and Laodicea/Dicy Horton Winn. As you probably know, Abner and Lucretia had already made that move to Tuscaloosa Co. in the 1830s. Will gladly either scan and/or smail what I have on these families to you. Much of my information on the Winn line is not yet in my computer database, so would need to scan and/or mail documents. I do hope, too, to turn up more about James R. Winn's residence in Union Co., AR, where I grew up. In the town of El Dorado, where I grew up, there was a Shackelford family. I'm wondering if they would be relatives of James R. Winn's wife Margaret. You probably also know that James R.'s sister Lucretia Brooke Winn married John Wade Shackelford, son of James Shackelford and Martha Brodnax. I wonder if or how Margaret fits into that family. Please tell me how best to send information, and will gladly do so. Thanks very much for your reply! Cousin Bill Lindsey

We do have a treasure of pictures of our early family, although outside of James Russell's children we do not have a lot of information. If you send your E Mail we will scan an obit on Powhatten to start with and picture of James Russell. Will be looking forward hearing from you. We assume the Abner Winn you are talking about is Sr. born in 1769. It is very exciting to us to hear from relatives that we did not know exsisted. We show ten chidren of Abner Winn Sr. Send it to our E-Mail and we will scan some pictures we do have. We live in Cedar Rapids, Ia. Your Cousin Larry and Rita tharp.larry@mcleodusa.net

Since you've perhaps been in touch with Carol Ott in MN, who has been in touch with me, you may already know I'm a descendant of James Russell Winn's brother John Alexander Winn. I have quite a bit of family information, though not the early pictures you have on your line. I've promised Carol to try to do some more research on the period of James Russell Winn's residence in Union Co., AR, where I was raised. I'm in Little Rock, and am curious to see if I can find information about Powhatan Winn and his murder in El Dorado newspapers, at the state archives. If I do find information, I'll gladly send it to you. I do have some pictures on the line of Abner Winn's brother Elisha, which I will gladly scan and send, if you'd want. I am happy to share my information with anyone working on these families, and would appreciate anything you'd like to share on James R. Winn and his line. As soon as I can find a moment from my work to go to the state archives, I plan to do some digging on the Winns in Union Co., AR. Best, Bill Lindsey

Hi Becky, Thanks for your reply. The name is Barbara Lee. This is the info I have. The Hustons came from the Chester area, the father was Robert, I think - I've never been able to verify this either. There were four sons that I know about, James, Hugh, Andrew and Thomas. They all moved to Ohio, Thomas and Andrew to Pickaway Co. about 1825-1830 and James and Hugh to Franklin Co, Oh about the same time. James and Hugh were married to sisters, Anne and Rachel Wynne. James's children that I know are Jonathan Wynne, John, Letitia, Susan and Rachel. John, Letitia, Susan and Rachel along with other Huston cousins moved to Monticello, IL in the mid 1800's. James, Hugh and Anne all died in the mid 1820's, the one exact date I have is for Hugh, Sept 11, 1828 in Franklin Co., Oh. Between the two couples they had more than a dozen children and the two brothers, Andrew and Thomas took in several of the children. Rachel lived and remarried twice, moving first to Indiana and then to Texas where she died. I have found reference to Rachel and Hugh on the internet, which included the date of the marriage, 1816 at Marshfarms, Chester, PA. Of course, I do not know it that is accurate, but it does fit the time frame I have. Letitia, Susan and Rachel never married and they are all buried in Monticello Cemetery, Monticello, IL. I am descended from John, through his daughter Susanna who also had a sister Rachel. If you can help with this, I will be very grateful. Barbara Lee
