Hi
I was wondering if you could help me with this Marriages Place: M F GUINN,20 Sallie STARKEY,17, md: 19 Dec 1897, Sacred Heart/Newton C.
This is from Chickasaw Nation Marriages, Ardmore Courthouse.
Can not find Newton on the Oklahoma map. But
there is a Newton Co., Arkansas.
Thank You
Virginia

Hi, M F Guinn should be W F Guinn, for William Franklin Guinn. Could just be a missprint. The other name and date is right, because my grandmother Annie May Guinn Roggers was b. Sep. 5, 1898. I don't know about Newton in OK., but will try to find where it was, if it ever was there. Ardmore is about 4 hr. from here, so maybe one day when I get a chance I could go there and look up these records.

Thanks,David

This is not my line of Guinns but I may be able to help with the locations listed on the marriage record. According to OKLAHOMA PLACE NAMES by George H. Shirk: Newton was located in northern Pontotoc County, 7 miles northeast of Ada. Post office est. April 17, 1894, and name changed to Francis, June 5, 1902. Sacred Heart Mission was in southeastern Pottawatomie County, 6 miles east of Asher. Post office est. January 30, 1879; name changed to Sacred Heart, May 24, 1888, and discontinued August 31, 1954. The post office for Sacred Heart Mission, est. in 1876 by Father Isidore Robot as a major Catholic missionary effort in western Indian Territory.

Thank you for the information, Every bit helps. I am not to good with maps.

David: As you can tell I don't keep up with
this regularly. I should because it really
is fun.

I am reasonably sure that we are cousins.
It looks like my grandfather, Eli A. Guinn
was a brother to William Franklin Guinn. My
Dad's family lived in Konawa for a while. In
fact I think that my Aunt Alma is buried
there. You mentioned that you live about
four hours from Ardmore. I still have a
whole hat full of relatives in Ada. I now
live in central Florida.

My e-mail address is cguinn2@bellsouth.net.
Drop me a line sometime.

Regards,
Chuck

Kathy I have written you before about Gwin;s. I have changed E-mail address and I don;t remeber what information I gave you. I am a Gwin from Perry Co./Breathitt Co. Susan died the month that my mother died. I have most of the Gwin's up to 1910 and after that I got lost. Drew was my G-grandfather. Susan was related to my mother who was a Watts. I am now getting back into genealogy. Although we spell his name as Drew it was Drury. I use Drew. I think you get Guinn from the headstone. I think it was in errorand should be Gwiin. Jennie

Jennie,

I have the Guinns back to William's father James. I have been told that the spelling was changed by the way it was written and people spelled it the way it looked. When some wrote g w i n n , it looked like guinn. So you decide. My aunt spelled her name guinn until she went to college and they spelled it the other way. That is what I have been told. You can email me directly if you want. mullins_wright@excite.com is my email.

Thanks for the reply
Kathy

I think I could add my Guinn family to what you have and that would update part of it. Let me know.

I'M LOOKING FOR A JAMES B. GUINN WHO LIVED WITH HIS PARENTS IN NEWTON CO, GA. IN THE CENCUS OF 1860 AT THE AGE OF 19. COULD THIS BE ANY OF YOUR GUINN? I'M LOOKING FOR SARAH FRANICE GUINN. HER FATHER WAS JAMES B. GUINN, MOTHER WAS BELANDA HADAWAY GUINN. IF YOU CAN HELP ME I WOULD APPRIEATE IT VERY MUCH.

It is at James father of Wm born abt 1800. I can not find for certain that Wm's father was James. I have located one that might be the our James. However he was married 8 years before the first child was born, which did not happen often. This James also seem to be from the wrong Co. in Va.
I got my name James from a paper in Ark. How did you located that Wm's father was a James? I need to get with you on family as my mother Martha Watts Gwin knew your mother Sylvania.

I have a John H. Guinn in my lineage. The one I have listed was born Dec. 25, 1864. Siblings were Joanna I., Mary J., Alfred Henry, and Wiley Franklin...most of them ended up in Texas. Their parents were: Wiley Preston Guinn and Letha E. (Huff) Guinn. Wiley Preston is buried in Cook Co., TX. You can email me at Shortilee918@aol.com
