Agnes Ferrick Gwinn Passes Away

Agnes Ferrick Gwinn, one of the last of the senior generation of our family in Iowa, passed away last month.

RIP Aunt Agnes

Elizabeth Gwinn Surbaugh Dies at 79

Elizabeth Catharine Gwinn Surbaugh was my great great great grandfather's sister. My working assumption was that Samuel and Mary Jane were the only children of Ephriam James Gwinn to come to Iowa, pre-civil war. But that was not the case. And Elizabeth's daughter, Mary Alice, married another line of Gwinns, spelled Guinn (as was common in the south), Robert A. Guinn, son of John D. Guinn of Tennessee. I know of the Tennessee Guinns, but not a lot. I'll have to persue this further.
