Sure made her more interesting at 156 =) Barbara, I may have read it in a hurry but did you say that you found no "Winn" family in Ohio or none of that Winn family? We are having our 5th annual Wynne Genealogy Research Reunion next month [Sept. 22 - 28] in Butler County, OH. And we are going to be going to all funeral plots of the Wynn [ all spellings] families in Butler County. And in discussing it with my co-hort in hosting it.. I remember her talking about some Winn's that are buried there... Most of us have found all the Wynn families to have several different spellings in each family.

Hi, I have found no Elizabeth Winn or a family that I can connect her with in my searching Ohio. I realize there are Winn families in Ohio but I don't know where to start. She married Peter Campbell whose father and mother, Duncan and Christiana were in Delaware county and Licking county. Of course, the census records do not record names of children born in the early 1800s and I have not found any family that I can start with in Ohio. They may have been passing through to another territory such as Indiana, however I have not been able to make a connection with the little information n I have. I have tried to use her son's name, William Henry and her daughters Emma Maline and Adelia to connect names with a family to no avail . I have been told by a cousin that family records record Emma Maline Campbell and we have thought that might be a family name although it would have been rare with that spelling. Of course, Emma might have been named Emaline and been called Emma. My only other clues are that Elizabeth and her husband Peter ran a hotel called the Union House in Rochester, Racine county Wisconsin and the basement of that hotel was used for an Underground Railraod station during the time they ran it. These leads me to believe they were not southerners. William , her son died in the Civil war fighting for the Union Army. It appears that Elizabeth carried on the hotel keeping after her husbands death. She and her daughter moved to Nevada to the area of boom town silver mining. Elizabeth told the census people different ages. I am guessing she may have been born around 1817. I think she married at a pretty early age and it was in Indiana in Saint Joseph County( 1836) All of the Winn families I can find in Indiana were in the southern part of the state. I have a picture of her and she appears to have light hair and blue eyes although it is hard to tell with a black and white picture. I only mention this because there appears to be a large number of Winn family members that have an American Indian heritage and from her picture it appears that she would be excluded from that group. I appreciate your feedback. I have been getting the emails from the Winn group for months and have seen nothing that would help trace this elusive great great grandmother. As further information, I might add that she married again after her first husband died and she moved to Nevada. She married an Alexander H Wilson . He was a member of a Scottish organization and the Masons and an elected official. After he died she moved to Burbank California and acquired a lot of land in the city of Burbank that she passed on to her grandchildren. She must have been hard working and intelligent to have done as much as she did. She also raised my grandmother and her 3 siblings after her daughter Emma died. Thanks for your help. I hope something rings a bell for someone and I can start climbing over that brick wall to the past.

Barb, I'm sure you have this, but here is proof that Peter did run the Union Hotel. Marilyn http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiracin2/rochalhn.htm The First Brick House in the village was built in 1843 by Peter Campbell, and he kept it as the Union Hotel until 1856, when he died. In I858, Edward Reynolds rented it, and at the end of a year surrendered his lease, which was taken by Peter Silvernale, who dispensed its hospitalities for a year. Silvernale's widow then resumed occupation, and, in 1863, it was purchased by James H. Gibson, who still retains possession
