I am not sure who his grandfather or where Homer Winn's place is in the tree. My great-grandfather was a black man of very light complexion and wavy hair. I am curious as to how the names were changed from Winn to Wynn later on. This subject is very interesting to me........ Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
