The Gwinn Family
According to family legend, Henry Claude Gwinn's dad was the first Gwinn to come to America
from Ireland. Henry was born in 1892, and hi s father William in 1860. In Ireland, their name was
O'Gwinn. He was one of seven brothers who came to Virginia, and from Virginia the brothers went
their different ways, spreading out in a circle from there. Henry's dad settled in Wichita Falls,
Texas.
In reality, the Gwinns have been in America for many more generations.
Andrew Gwinn, Sr, did have twelve children, seven of them boys. I believe this is where the
story of the seven brothers came from. One died in the Civil War, and only two actually left West
Virginia - Andrew for Texas and John for Il linois. In addition to Andrew, Jr, and his children,
several of Andrew, Sr.'s grandchildren also moved to Texas.
The earliest Gwinns we can trace the family back to are John & Ruth Gwinn and their son
Andrew Gwinn, Sr. John and Ruth are believed to have been born in Ireland. Andrew, Sr, is
supposed to have been born about 1795 in the Shenandoah valley in Virginia, but there is no
information to substantiate his place of birth.
John and his family were in Cabell County, Virginia, by 1810. Today Cabell County is part of
West Virginia. West Virginia was formed from parts of Virginia in 1863 during the Civil War.
Cabell County is today located in southwestern West Virginia across the Ohio River from Ohio, just
north of the northeastern tip of Kentucky, where Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia meet.
John is believed to have died about 1812. Andrew Gwinn, Sr, appears on the county tax list of
Cabell County, Virginia, in 1815. He i s the only male in the house over age 16 (he is about 20 years
old), he owns two horses and six cattle. In this time period Andrew Gwinn, Sr, was the only Gwinn
in the area, and all the Gwinns in Cabell County for the next 100 years are likely his descendants.
About 1880, some of the Gwinns began migrating to Texas. Andrew Sr.'s son Andrew, Jr,
migrated about 1880 to Dallas County with two of his sons, including William Harrison Gwinn,
father of Henry Claude Gwinn, and his nephew Albert Gwinn, son of Andrew Sr.'s son John.
William H Gwinn returned to Cabell County, West Virginia (remember this area of Virginia became
West Virginia in 1863), about 1883 where he married Nancy Glenn in January 1884 before
returning to Texas. William H Gwinn is in Wichita County by 1900.
Several other Gwinns migrated to Texas after the 1880 Census was t aken. Andrew Jr's son
James followed his father and brother to Texas and was there by 1890. Sampson (son of Andrew,
Jr's brother George Washington Gwinn) is in Wichita County by 1900. Randol ph, Albert's brother,
is in Archer County in 1900, and i n Wichita in 1910.

Notes on this Book
This book has chapt ers for each of Andrew Gwinn, Sr., and Rachel Harshbarger's eleven
children that married and have descendants.
About the spelling of names: While you may find on occasi on I misspell a name, most
variations in the spelling of first and last names comes from t he source of the information. If the
name is misspelled on the Census, then I spelled it the same way when I documented the
information on the family that came from that source. It is only in the 20th century, that we became
consistent in the spelling of names. In the Federal Censuses available to us (1930 and earl ier) a
census taker went to each househol d and recorded the information on that family. He, or she, did
not always get the spelling correct. In addition, the Gwinns themselves spelled their name either
Guinn or Gwinn. The Gwinns spelled their names Gwinn or Guinn, and bot h spellings are in use
today.

from Kanawha) for the 1790, 1800, and 1810 Censuses.
Andrew served in the War of 1812 (not in combat). He served in a Virginia militia
unit for about six months (19 Sep 1812 to 29 Mar 1813) and participated in the
construction of Fort Meigs (near present Toledo, OH) but was discharged before it was

Elizabeth Gwinn and Albert G Eshelman.
Andrew suffered for many years from cancer of the hand, and had his hand amputated
in 1874. This news article appeared the following year: "Mr. Andrew Guinn, of this
county, who lives on Mud river, about a mile from Milton, suffered for many years
from a cancer on his hand. About a year ago [1874], Dr. C. D. Moss, assisted by Dr.
Vinson, amputated his arm above the elbow; since then he has entirely recovered and
is now a healthy man. Mr. Guinn is over eighty years of age, and it is remarkable that
he should be able to sustain such a severe operation at his age and recover entirely."
[2]
Andrew Guinn is listed on the Federal Census schedule of persons who died in the past
year (June 1 1879 to May 31, 1880). He died in May 1879 of cancer at age 84. Andrew
was born in Virginia and his parents were born in Ireland. Andrew is listed as a
resident of the county for 68 years (arriving in 1812).

Descendants of John Gwinn and Andrew Gwinn, Sr
Generation No. 1
1. JOHN1 GWINN1 was born in Ireland, and died Bet. 1811 - 18121. He married RUTH1. She was born
in Ireland, and died Bet. 1821 - 1830.
Notes for JOHN GWINN:
I have determeined Andrew's parents to have been John and Ruth Gwinn who lived in Cabell county
as early as 1810. They were there a little before that but I can't say exactly when yet. John died in late
1811 or early 1812 (taken from tax lists and deeds). Ruth was alive at least until 1813-1814 and then
probably until after 1820-21 (she is probably the older white female in Andrew Gwinn's residence on
the 1820 census). One of John and Ruth's daughters (the name escapes me right now) sold her share
in her father's estate to Andrew Gwinn in about 1821. That document (of which I have a copy) would
be the only "proof" I have found of Andrew's parentage. Mention is also made of John's widow who
still lives on the property. I determined her name to be Ruth based on two or three Cabell co. tax lists.
I can give you more details later when I get it together. Hope this is helpful. [1]
His son Andrew's listing on the 1880 Mortality Schedule lists his parents' birthplaces as Ireland.
[1] Jaye Drummond, 2005
Notes for RUTH:
Ruth was still alive in 1821 when her daughter sold her share of her father's estate to her brother
Andrew. She is only mentioned as John's widow, still living on the property. Ruth is probably the
older woman living with Andrew in 1820. She probably died by 1830.

Andrew suffered for many years from cancer of the hand, and had his hand amputated in 1874. This
news article appeared the following year: "Mr. Andrew Guinn, of this county, who lives on Mud river,
about a mile from Milton, suffered for many years from a cancer on his hand. About a year ago
[1874], Dr. C. D. Moss, assisted by Dr. Vinson, amputated his arm above the elbow; since then he has
entirely recovered and is now a healthy man. Mr. Guinn is over eighty years of age, and it is
remarkable that he should be able to sustain such a severe operation at his age and recover entirely."
[2]

Notes for JUDGE RANDOLPH V GWINN:
A contributor to findagrave.com identified Randolph as Randolph Virginius Gwinn.
On the 1880 Census, Randolph Guin is living in Cabell County, West Virginia, next
door to his father John. He is 22 years old and working on a farm, probably his
father's. Randolph was born in Virginia. Living with him are his wife Rachel, 18, and
born in Pennsylvania, and daughter Emer (?) J, 2 months, born in March.
Randolph and Rachel moved to Texas between 1885 and 1890.
Buried in Riverside Cemetery in Wichita Falls in Randolph Gwinn's plot is Jenny
Gwinn, 30 July 1890 - 9 June 1891. She may be a daughter of Randolph Gwinn and his
first wife Ida Thompson. [1]
In 1900, Randolph Gwinn is living in Archer County, Texas. He is 40 years old,
widowed, born in West Virginia, and a saloon keeper. Living with him are his children
Edward, 15, Hettie, 9, and Jessie, 5. Edward was born in West Virginia, and the others
in Texas.
In May 1907 R V Gwinn "had come in from his farm at Allendale to work as city
marshal for $50 a month, plus fees". [2]
In the 1910 Census, Randolph V Gwinn is living at 1408 Thirteenth (?) Street in
Wichita Falls, Wichita County, Texas. He is 50 years old and was born in West
Virginia. Randolph is the Chief of Police for the City. Living with him is his second
wife Irene. They have been married 8 years, and Irene has had four children, three are
living. Irene is 32 years old and was born in Mississippi, as was her mother. Her father
was born in Georgia. Living with them are Randolph's children from his first marriage,
Edward J, 24, born in West Virginia, and Jessie F, 15, born in Texas, and his children
from his second marriage Ona, 6, Mabel, 4, and Thelma, 1 year and 3 months. The
youngest children were all born in Texas.
In the 1920 Census, R V Gwinn is living in Wichita Falls. The census taker must have
talked to a neighbor, and Irene is listed as Mrs R V Gwinn, their daughter-in-law is
also listed as Mrs J E Gwinn, and the ages and birthplaces are largely inaccurate.

Notes for JUDGE RANDOLPH V GWINN:
A contributor to findagrave.com identified Randolph as Randolph Virginius Gwinn.
On the 1880 Census, Randolph Guin is living in Cabell County, West Virginia, next door to his father
John. He is 22 years old and working on a farm, probably his father's. Randolph was born in Virginia.
Living with him are his wife Rachel, 18, and born in Pennsylvania, and daughter Emer (?) J, 2 months,
born in March.
Randolph and Rachel moved to Texas between 1885 and 1890.
Buried in Riverside Cemetery in Wichita Falls in Randolph Gwinn's plot is Jenny Gwinn, 30 July
1890 - 9 June 1891. She may be a daughter of Randolph Gwinn and his first wife Ida Thompson. [1]
In 1900, Randolph Gwinn is living in Archer County, Texas. He is 40 years old, widowed, born in
West Virginia, and a saloon keeper. Living with him are his children Edward, 15, Hettie, 9, and Jessie,
5. Edward was born in West Virginia, and the others in Texas.
In May 1907 R V Gwinn "had come in from his farm at Allendale to work as city marshal for $50 a

his second marriage Ona, 6, Mabel, 4, and Thelma, 1 year and 3 months. The youngest children were
all born in Texas.
In the 1920 Census, R V Gwinn is living in Wichita Falls. The census taker must have talked to a
neighbor, and Irene is listed as Mrs R V Gwinn, their daughter-in-law is also listed as Mrs J E Gwinn,
and the ages and birthplaces are largely inaccurate. Randolph may be working for the railroad, but the
census was difficult to read. Daughters Ona, Mabel, and Thelma are living at home, and son J E
Gwinn is also there with his wife and daughter Margaret, 2.
Buried in Riverside Cemetery in Wichita Falls in Randolph Gwinn's plot is Virginia Irene Gwinn, 23
Apr 1920 - 30 Dec 1922. It is not known whose daugher she is. [1]

[1] History of the Great Kanawha Valley, 1891
Notes for HARRIET POINDEXTER:
Harriett was the daughter of Albert Poindexter and Nancy Connor. After Albert's death Nancy married
a man named Giles. In addition to children Charles & Harriett Poindexter, Nancy had five more

estate in 1850 being $5000. In his will he listed 9 slaves who were to be set free at various times
following his death if they so desired. James was born about 1771 in Virginia and died in 1851. Mary
was born about 1772 in Maryland. [1]

Notes for JAMES A GUINN:
Based on various census, James was born sometime between 1854 and 1856. His
brother Charles's death certificate records a birth for him in March 1856, so the
September 1855 for James on the 1900 Census is incorrect. He was most likely born in
1854, probably in September as reported in 1900. [CAR]

Notes for PHYLLIS JAN RIGBY:
Phyllis Jan Rigby was born Aug 31 1939 in Wichita County to Dora Naomi Guinn and
Covert Laverne Rigby. - 1939 Wichita Co Births (RootsWeb)
Phyllis was injured at birth. Apparently, because she was a breech birth, her neck was
stretched and injured. She seemed like she had MS, and could not speak clearly or
walk along well. She was a wonderful person. She always typed, even though it would
take her a long time just to type one word. Phyllis was always worried about her
mother since her mother took care of her, and afraid her mother would die first.
Phyllis's aunt Patsy took care of her sometimes, and Naomi planned that Patsy would
care for Phyllis if she died. But then Patsy left the church, which was important to
Phyllis. There was also a big trust fund set up for Phyllis, and some family members
were afraid Patsy wouldn't take care of the trust very well. This never became an issue,
as Phyllis died before her mother. [Kay Ann Gwinn Jones, July 19, 2003]
According to the Social Security Death Index, Phyllis J Rigby was born 31 Aug 1939
and died 15 May 1995. Her last residence was Wichita Falls, Wichita Co, Texas.

16. BARBARA SUE7 GWINN (LLOYD LIONEL6, HENRY CLAUDE5, WILLIAM HARRISON4, ANDREW3,
ANDREW2 GUINN, JOHN1 GWINN) was born Private. She married (1) WILLIAM SCOTT SANDERS
Private, son of WILLIE SANDERS and ALLIE WALLS. He was born 07 Aug 1935 in Collin County,
Texas161,162, and died 03 Dec 1999 in Dallas, Texas. She married (2) BILL KENT KENNEDY Private,
son of HUBERT KENNEDY and ANNER DAVIS. He was born Private.
Notes for WILLIAM SCOTT SANDERS:
Scott was a police officer in Dallas before his bad car wreck in 1963 or 1964. He was driving an
Electra 225, a car with early cruise control. He set the cruise control and fell asleep at the wheel. The
car hit the pillar at the side of the road head on, and the engine was pushed into the front seat. Scott
broke both his legs, his right arm, and every rib. A friend of his either in the police or state trooper
office was the first on the scene. Scott was in a complete body cast after getting out of the hospital. He
was on lots of pain medication, and started drinking after that time. All the medication and alcohol
made him abusive, and Barbara divorced him after that. [BKK - 5/2003]
Scott married two more times to Frankie Williams (Williams was a name from a previous husband)
about 1972 or 1973, and Sylvia about 1980. [Becky Sanders, 2004]
I have a note that says Scott died December 4, 1999, of a heart attack. [CAR]
According to the Social Security Death Index, William Sanders was born 7 Aug 1935 and died 4 Dec
1999. His last residence was in Ferris, Ellis Co., Texas.
