I have posted this info before, but wanted to try again now that I have
discovered a bit more info.

I have the death certificate for Christopher Columbus GINN, showing he was
born in Knoxville, Knox Co., TN, which I had always suspected. DOB 23 Sep
1853. His parents were Jeptha B. GINN and Sarah Croucher DAVIS.

Christopher married Mary Ellen Malissa CORUM in Ash Grove, Greene Co., MO,
where they had the following children:
Maggie May who died as a child
Unknown child who died as an infant
Ralph V. who married Mary Adalaide MOORE
James Doolin who married Mary Elma GEORGE
Ida B who married Roy Ayers MACCARTNEY
Jessie G who married a Mr. MANIDY?
John Robert who married Catherine
Joseph B who died single at the age of 22.

I believe that the two oldest sons, Ralph and James, moved to Sacramento Co.,
Calif about 1908, followed in about 1915 by Christopher and Mary Ellen and
their two youngest sons. I believe that Ida and Jessie married in Missouri.
Ida and her husband later moved to Calif, and Ida died in San Joaquin County,
but I believe Jessie stayed in Missouri.

I have quite a bit of information on these families going backwards and
forwards and peripheral lines as well, and would love to share it and also
fill in a few gaps by corresponding with anyone interested in this family.

Thanks,

Jackie Ginn
