James had a mistress that had two of his children. The understanding we have is that they possibly remarried. Margaret had four children, Orignah Winn Born Jan 8, 1834, JohN Milton Winn (my great gandfather) born 03-28-1836, Hamson Winn born 05-01-1838, Mary Winn born 02-14-1841. From mistress (Delaware Indian) we do not have her name, she gave birth to Emily Winn born 01-08-1843 & Powhatten Winn born 07-10-1845 their mother passed away shortly after Powhatten birth Margaret & James raised Emily and Powhatten as their own. Evedently John M Winn never knew Powhatten was half brother. We have letters telling of Margarets death and James R's sorrow. He only lived short time after she passed away>Emily & Powhatten cared for him till his death and Powhatten inherited the Plantation. If you can go back before Abner we Would really appreciate the information and what information on your family. We have some good family pictures of James Russell and Margaret and on from there.
