He is the oldest son of James Minor Winn and Nancy Ann Bloyed. You will find them linked on Minor's Page: http://www.ancestor-rescue.com/Winn/WinnJamesMinor.htm Children: Thomas - Lucinda - James - Bettie - Sarah I suspect that your Thomas Jeffereson Winn is the son of Ely/Eli and Matilda (nee McNight) Winn. I have no sources to confirm or deny this. That's all I can find in the marriage, birth, death indexes for Washington county. You are already looking at the Census records. You might try the obits via the Fayettevile Library/Cheri Coley. They didn't keep much on births and deaths. The cemetery records are accessible via the cemeteries websites.
