Here is some information I have on a William Winn that would have been born around 1756. I'll start with his father, William Winn Senior. William Winn (1732-1813), son of Minor Winn (1691, 1778) and Margaret O'Connor (1695-?), had a son names William Winn. William's other children were born in the 1756 to 1770 range. This William Winn (a Junior or the II) was married to his 1st wife, Phoebe Osborne (? - 1858) and then his 2nd wife, Nancy Barnett. William was born in Kentucky and died in Greene County, IL. William and Phoebe had at least 1 son, George Washington Winn (1827-1896). George Washington Winn was born in Indiana and died in Greene County, IL. He married his 1st wife, Mary Ann Tucker (? - 1852), and then his 2nd wife, Sarah Tucker (? - 1859) and then his 3rd wife, Mary Catherine Boggess (? - 1895). George and Mary had at least 1 son, George Elmer Winn (1867 - 1903). George Elmer Winn was born and died in Greene County, IL. He married Cora Reamer and had at least 1 son, George Elmer Winn, Jr. (1903 - 1986). George Elmer Winn, Jr. was born in Greene County, IL and died in Arizona. He married Nelle Rhodes. George and Nelle had at least 1 daughter, Shirley Elizabeth Winn. Shirley Elizabeth Winn married Bill Richard Williams. The source of all of this information came from Shirley Elizabeth Winn Williams winnfam@cox.net. -----Original Message----- From: The Thill Group Inc [mailto:ttg-inc@attbi.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 11:24 PM To: WINN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WINN] William Winn/Wynn/Wynns/Winner/Winne 1756 NC Dear Cuz's... A WGS Cuz Joan II, sent us this piece of information from a recent DAR magazine she was viewing... If anyone can identify this person, let me know! "Noticed the following in my latest issue of the DAR magazine: New ancestor - William Winn/Wynn/Wynns/Winner/Winne: born @ 1756 NC; d p 1820 NC; m (1) XX; PS NC Not sure what the PS means other than Private what as it has something to do with rank. The "p" would indicate date of probate presumably and the "XX" means they don't know either of his wife's names but he was apparently married more than once. And I certainly do not know where if anywhere this gentleman ties into the Wynne tree but thought I'd pass it along."
