I have come to believe that most of the earlier genealogy of our Winn families is wrong or, at minimum, not verfied or documented satisfactorily. I now source everything I can and take the rest with a grain of salt. With the help of others, I am attempting to document sources as they are re-reviewed in order to allow researchers to put this information into it's proper context, correct errors and document our lines. In this way only, can we ever sort them out properly, given all the miss-information existing. This process is ongoing but we are making significant headway lately working back in hisotry towards Virginia and the Winn beginnings in America in the early 1700s. Cheri Coley can be reached via e-mail at dckcoley@sbcglobal.net and has been cc'ed on earlier messages to you. She is a distant cousin and is intimately involved with past and present Winn family research in Washington County. I am in the process of delinating our line, re-verifying connections and documenting the results on this site: http://www.ancestor-rescue.com/Winn You'll find a lot of the source material I've been furnished, linked there in a mannor that should help in your research where it overlaps ours. Cheri should be able to fill in from there. Here fees are very reasonalbe and her help invaluable if you are crystal clear about what you have and what you are after. I assume that the Winns of Washington County Arkansas are related but those relationships need to be verified and documented. The Minor Winn page may be the best place to start for research of Arkansas Winns. The Winn Vamily History site is an attempt to sort out our family and I have attempted to explain the actual realtionship with earlier families with similar names and confused histories. For more on this, you should read this page: http://www.ancestor-rescue.com/Winn/index.htm If you find addional ties, applicable sources, or conflicting information, I would be interested in looking into it.
