Surnames: WYNN, WINN, WIND Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FgWBAEB/861.1.1 Message Board Post: I believe you are the person who 1st showed me the AGNEW source! In addition to the mention of "Madison WINN," this diary also mentions the "12th MS Calvary." This is the unit Madison's son Jasper claimed to be in on his pension application, though I can hardly find a mention of the 12th, much less a roster. The events in the diary seem to focus on the area & people of NE Mississippi. And "Esebella WIND" appears as hh in 1870 New Albany, suggesting Madison is deceased. Also, no other "Madison" in the area at that period has been uncovered. Therefore, I *believe* (but can't prove) that Madison WINN/WYNN died Dec 1863!
