Just wondering if any connection. my name is spelled guin past spelling's guin guinn quin gwin gwyn. My family is out of va. patrick guin James gwin. I have done the dna test with family tree dna and match other guin guinn of tn 1792 no conecction yet to guin in va yet. lguinn8991@aol.com
While it is generally accepted that most of the variations on the Gwinn/Gwynn name are all related, I've never been able to directly connect us to Gwydir. Sir John Wynn wrote a genealogy of the Wynn family while he resided in this 'castle'. There is a theory that one of the Wynns had two wifes and upon divorcing the first, she went by G'Wynn and never resided in the castle. When time permits, I will study it more.
