Hi from Minnesota! I can't remember if I ever sent this info out to the group, so I'll do it again. What is interesting on this man is that his children would be a cross between Northern (Ky) and Southern (NC) Winn families. Well, maybe KY isn't exactly Northern, but some of our guys are from there. Comments? Anyone claim him? Cuz Vi Monroe Winn Monroe Winn came in 1854, and settled on section 31, where he still resides. Monroe Winn is a native of Hancock county, Indiana, and was born August 7, 1832. His parents were Isaac and Rachel (Winn) Winn, both natives of Kentucky. Monroe was the fifth child in a family of seven children. His early life was spent in assisting his father on the farm. At the age of twenty-one years he removed to Iowa, taking a team, and locating for eight months at Winterset. He then came to Adair county, locating in Washington township. He has a fine farm of two hundred acres, containing both tember and prairie land, well adapted for both stock and grain. He was united in marriage June 15, 1855, to Miss Phoebe Cox, a native of North Carolina, and daughter of Isaac and Seely (Williams) Winn. They have eight children--Lorenzo, Frank, Charles, Edward, Harvey, Theodore, Eveline and Alice.
