Individual Details
(16 Nov 1829 - 6 Jan 1896)
About Thomas Jefferson Wynn's military service, Emma Jane was the daugh t er of Thomas' boyhood friend and army comrade (John Sharon). From J o hn Sharon's obit, I find that John served in the 185th Ohio Col. Infan t ry. I have yet to write for their military/pension records, but plan t o d o so soon (I have been planing this for over a year, so whatever soo n m eans). I do know that the 185th was a garrison unit. I received most o f m y information from my Great-Uncle, Charles Wynn Cragg (son of Lena F ay W ynn and Floyd Carl Cragg. I believe hereceived most of his informat ion f rom a cousin, Betty Wynn McGehee. From what I understand, Betty ha s be en researching this family for years. I have not made contact with B et ty, as I understand her health is poor. I have Lena's death certifica t e, and other obits and will be happy to send you copies. I donot have a w e b site up for this side of the family line, put plan to put oneu p s oon. I also have some pictures and would be happy to scan them and s en d you a copy (I can not identify everyone in them). My information li s ts JaneMcQuiston Fulton as a widow. She was born on 26 Dec 1794 in PA a n d died 02 May 1849 in Guernsey Co., OH. Thomas was born in 1796 in Fay e tte Co., PA married 07 Feb 1822 in Westmoreland Co., PA and died about 1 8 21 in Fayette Co., PA. I have not written for his estate records as of y e t. Also, I have not checked my information with your information and I c a n not prove this is correct at this time. I can only assume that Thoma s a nd Jane eloped, as they picked Westmoreland Co., to be married in, a nd f or a number of years it seems that everyone eloped to Westmoreland C o. I h ave several pages (over 100) of T. B. Deem's book on the Wynne bu t jus t recently made the connection to Isaac Wynn (through another web s ite ). I also just made the connection on the Gist side, seems all I re al ly need to do was to find you! The Guernsey Co., OH marriage record f o r Thomas J. Wynn and Violet Gist states: I Thomas J. Wynn make solemum o a th that I am unmarried amn of the lawful age of 2X and that Violet Mc. G i st is over 18 years of xx and not XXXXXX of kin that first cousin. Axx S h e resides in this county. Thomas J. XXXXXXX ( I will send you a copy - n e ed your address) I have the same date of death for Thomas Jefferson Wy n n as youdo, but no obit. I live in Riley, Kansas and should be able t o f ill these gaps, either with information I can gather here or by taki ng a t rip to Allen County. Thomas J. Wynn and Violet Gist also had 2 da ughte rs, Emily & Sadie that died prior to Harrison (from Harrison 's o bit). It is early in the morning, and if this message is choppy, I a m t ruely sorry. I am trying to get this off before I hit the shower. Ob it f or Violet Wynn: (The Miami Republican,Paola, Kansas, October 15, 19 09) M rs. Wynn Dead. Mrs. Violet M. Wynn died Monday evening, Oct 11, at t he h ome of her daughter, Mrs. Geo. D. Voglesong at Iola, Kas. She had b een i n ill health for six months and her death is attributed to pneumon ia a nd general decline. Mrs. Wynn was born in Guernsey Co., OH, and was i n h er 76th year at her death. She was married there in 1854 to Th om as J. Wynn in the early 70s they located in this county, on a f a rm south ofPaola, where they lived until Mr. Wynn's death about twelve y e ars ago. Soon after her husband's death Mrs. Wynn and son George r e moved to a farm near Lone Elm and about six years ago she removed to I o la. Mrs. Wynn was a member of the Methodist church since girlhood, liv e d a devoted Christian life and spoke only good of people. She managed h e r business affairs with rare capacity and before her death provided fo r a d ivision of her property among her children, so that it will not be n ec essary to have an administrator. She is survivedby seven children, Be r t and George in Pawnee co., John and Mrs. Thos. Kinzeyin Allen-co, Mrs J o hn Huddleson at Humboldt., Mrs Wynn TJ and Violet http://trees.ancest r y.com/rd?f= image&guid=2b804990-7476-42b4-b128-c19aed9f6cd2&tid=122624 0 5 &pid=617
