Cecily

I am new to the WINN line and just started researching them.

I picked up a probate document on a LUCY WINN via Boone Co., the other
day -- but I don't know who she connects too.

The WINN Families of MO book might be very good for you.. by Lee Thomas
Winn.. might be a good start.

I'll keep my eyes peeled.. and check the book for that line of folks the
next time I'm in the library.

In the meantime - I'm trying to learn the ropes on how all these folks were
connected to tracks slaves in the families.

Are they listed or biographed by the way -- in the History of Howard County?

Traci,
I have a Winn in my Hawkinson line that I thought maybe you might have
run across. My gggrandfather, Lewis Hawkinson, married Mary Francis Green
whose parents were Benjamin F. Green and Semira Winn. Semira's parents were
William Winn and Mildred Hurt. William Winn was the son of John David Winn
and Eleanor Hicks. John David Winn's father was Colonel William Winn who
witnessed the surrender of Cornwallis with Washington at Yorktown. Any of
these names sound familiar or part of the line you are researching? I would
appreciate any information you might be able to give me. My gggrandparents
Lewis and Mary Hawkinson spent their married lives in Roanoke, Howard
County, Mo. Thanks. Cecily McCausland Ledbetter

I was thinking of you when I embarked on the WINNS...the Owen Winn line
is
where I am headed.. they came into Howard and Boone CO.

There is a book called the WINNS of Missouri.. by Lee Thomas Winn
published
in 1990. It is in State Historical Library in Columbia. It would be a
great
book for you. Don't know where to buy it. (There's the BRINK and
JOHNSONS
involved in this line too.)

My cousin Linda is looking for slaves in the WINN family in Boone Co.,
MO.
There is also a WINN burial ground and family cemetery I believe near
Sturgeon.. but I don't know exactly where it is.. or if there are
cemetery
records available.

Another researcher is looking for the first wife of John B. Winn --
Martha
Patsy Hicks. 2nd he married Permelia Gentry.

I've dug up some interesting websites etc., on the WINNs (this very
line)
but nothing on Martha Patsy. See this one:
http://www.genattic.com/p76.htm#i1061 -- but its missing details on
Martha
Patsy Hicks Winn...

Also it seems a Samuel Kennedy in Saline CO., married a daughter of Dr.
Hicks.... don't know if this HICKS is from the same clan. Samuel was
first
married to a Rebecca Kennedy. I've tracked down the WINN cemetery and
can
go there.. and I've found some interesting websites online about the
WINN
and HICKS folks of Boone; who initially went to Howard Co., from
Christian
Co., KY. Here's the little diddy on Mr. Kennedy.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~mosaline/1881/arrowrock.htm
Samuel H. Kennedy, farmer and miller, P. O. Napton. Born in Davidson
county,
North Carolina, in September 4, 1828. His father, Bryson Kennedy, was a
native of South Carolina. He married Lydia Teague, by whom he had seven
children, five now living, all boys: A. J., Moses E., Joseph, Jacob and
Samuel. Bryson came to Saline county in the fall of 1865 and died in
July
1869. He was buried at Jonesboro. His wife died during the war and was
buried in North Carolina. Samuel H., the second child, was educated at
Salem, North Carolina, in the common schools and also at the high
school. In
1850 he came to Lafayette county, Missouri, and settled at Lexington,
where
he engaged in milling. He did a flourishing business, his patronage
extending within a radius of fifty miles. In February, 1852, he was
married
to Rebecca A. Wilburn, a native of Indiana, and a daughter of Philip
Wilburn, Esq. They have eight children, five boys and three girls, all
living: Alonzo, William, Samuel H., Jr., Stonewall, Leslie H., Emma
Crutches, Kate Thorpe and Annie. His first wife died in March 1866, and
was
buried at Jonesboro. He afterward married Mrs. M. Hicks, widow of Dr.
Hicks
of Kentucky. They have two children, one boy and one girl; Percy and
Mollie.
In 1857 he moved to Saline county, where he was engaged in milling for
three
years. He afterwards turned his attention to farming and stock-raising,
and
has continued in the same business up to the present time. He is a
member of
the Baptist church, at Zoar. Page 542

The WINNS and HICKS owned some slaves and I would like to get to their
estate files and see if there is anything there. I really need to do
some
work on reviewing land deeds for BOONE CO., but haven't gotten around to
it
yet.

I also found an interesting tidbit about Absalom and his wife
Elizabeth --
on the Missouri River Net website.

http://www.mo-river.net/history/boonslick/chapter11.htm

This tells me that the whole deal with the cemetery might be a little
interesting.

If anyone knows more about Rebecca Kennedy I'd certainly be
interested -- as
well as a tid bit on Mr. Kennedy's 2nd wife who appears to be part of
the
WINN/HICKS line too.
