Thanks for the information on the Ohio Winn connection. I was interested in your comment that the southern and northern Winn families started crossing over in migrating from one place to the other. I have been ruling out southern families because I have never found any mention of the south in family history and Elizabeth (Winn )and Peter Campbell are reported to have run an Underground railway station in Wisconsin. I can find no logical explanation for Elizabeth Winn to have been married in St. Joseph Co. Indiana if her family was not nearby so we could even suppose that she did not have a family at that time or perhaps she was living with relatives in Indiana. I will look up the site with all the information and hope that there is a clue someplace. One other thing, my first cousin has a document with the Winn name spelled WINNE which makes a great deal of difference. Have you found that spelling in the Winn searches that you have done that actually attach to the Winns or is that taking me in a totally different direction/ Barbara Sidler The Thill Group Inc wrote: > Dear Barbara, > We collected about four or five inches of paper documentation from > Butler County Ohio, plus we went on a Cemetery Tour of Butler County and > recorded all Wynn's all spellings from those 14 cemetery's....
