Hi Jamie,
My branch is Thomas Orlando & Gilla Colvin
Brandenburg Gwartney who were in Kansas
Territory by 1855 where my gr-grandfather,
(Robert) Emmet was born in 1859. I have "Micajah
Gwartney of Virginia and His Descendants" by
Frieda Sims Nelson, 1979 which I wish I had in
front of me right now. Do you have the
Sidwell book, "Our Heritage from the Gwartneys
of Indiana" (hope I've got the title correct)?
I believe there is another publication but the
name doesn't come to mind at the moment.
I don't know of any involvement of my Gwartneys
in the Civil War but they MAY have been effected
by Quantrill and his raiders in eastern Kansas.
Would love to compare notes - please e-mail me.
