    3. Hi all of you Wynn/Winn folks, I have been excited to see that so many people are researching the Indiana records for Wynn families of all spellings. I am still searching for Elizabeth Winn, born in Ohio in 1820 and married in Indiana, St. Joseph County 1836 to Peter Campbell. The marriage is the first time we can find any records of Elizabeth Winn but we have so much information from then on it is incredible. The couple moved to Rochester Wisconsin and are very well documented there. According to census reports Elizabeth' parents were born in Pennsylvania. It is hard to find a female listed by name in early records and we have been stone walled finding her family with absolutely no leads to point anywhere. The book for the marriage records for that time has disappeared in the last few years so we are unable to get the names of people associated with the marriage although, very early in my search when I did not know enough to save things properly someone sent me some information from Indiana indicating that Denton Davis and Barbara Replogle were witness to the marriage. They both ended up in Rochester too and may have more than a friendship link to Elizabeth Winn and Peter Campbell. I believe a minister by the name of Rev. Wolf married them. Since Elizabeth married at such a young age I don't think that Winn was a married name from another marriage. (Elizabeth's children were named William Henry, Adelia and Emma Maline Campbell. Sometimes there are first name links too. Thanks for reading this.....again. I have always heard that what we are looking for is sitting on someone's desk! I know that Elizabeth had a family out there someplace! B.Sidler
