Mary Hardin

• General Notes
  • Other IN land purchases.  I can check the census microfilms that came in
    to see if any lived or stayed in Warren or Fountain Cty (1850)
    1-Dolphin Winn of Muskingum bought land in Tipton Cty. 2-20-1837
    2-Wm. Mathis(?) Winn of Harrison bought land in Harrison Cty - 1848
    3-Joseph Winn of Madison Cty bought land in Hancock Cty - 8-1-1837
    4-Wm. Winn of Hancock bought land in Hancock Cty - 8-10-1837
    5. Jacob Winn of Montgomery Cty bought in Benton Cty -4-1-1848
    6. Isaac Wynn of Madison bought land in Madison Cty - 11-6-1830
    7. Eli Wynn of Hamilton bought in Madison Cty - 9-9-1835
    8. Washington Wynn of Cass bought in Cass1-30-1850 (We have conjectured
    
    
    
    
    
    
    that he is the son of James Winn, and James bought in Cass Cty in 1849)
    
    
    
    
    
    
    9. Isaac Wynn of Warren Cty. (son of James, brotherof John Henry in
    Warren?????)   bought in Cass on 1-5-1850
    10.Warner Wynn of Warren Cty (one of James's kids????)bought in Howard on
    1-5-1850
    Nothing here about Jackson Winn whom we think is also a son of James
    Winn, Mary Harding. Were some of those other guys sons of James and Mary?
    Anyway, more evidence that some of these guys really hung out together.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Well, cool weather and staying home seem to whetten my research urge.
    Vi
    Mary moved with out husband toMinnesota  moved with John and James
    According to the 1880 Minnesota census for Ottertail County, Minnesota,
    
    
    
    
    
    
    John Henry Wynn lived with his mother Mary and his sons: James Henry Wynn
    and Charles Voorhees Wynn, and his daughters:  Rufus B. and Ida M. 
    Mother Mary's age is given as 78, with a birthplace that could be Kenn or
    Penn.  Mary died in 1892 in Wadena County, Minnesota, and her maiden name
    is given as Hardin.  Hardin and Harding seem to be interchangeable.
    from her second message:
    The Indiana connection for me is that John Henry Wynn was married and
    farmed in Warren Cty., IN.  I don't know when he left OH.  He and his
    first wife, Catherine Ellis, are listed on the 1850 IN Censusfor Warren
    
    
    
    
    
    
    County. I have a copy of their wedding license for Dec., 1847.  Ason,
    Jesse Edward Wynn, was born there in 1852. Catherine must have died in
    IN. John Henry re-married to a Christiana High (Higle) and her children
    
    
    
    
    
    
    listed as James Henry, Charles Voorhees, Rufus, B., and Ida M., moved
    with John Henry Wynn and Mary Harding Wynn to Minnesota.  I first found
    
    
    
    
    
    
    them listed in the MN 1880 Census. here's her WYNN  goal: James was b.
    1793, PA, and marriedMary Harding in Butler Cty OH in 1819. So she's
    shooting for the Warner who left a will 1827 and named a son James. Can't
    let her get away with that quite yet, as there were other families who
    have as yet unnamed sons (perhaps more Jameses) But she has found a Mary
    Hardin(g) Wynn the right age to be the one recorded in the Butler Co OH
    
    
    
    
    
    
    marriage records- so she's repeating my comment from yesterday I have not
    been able to find any children for James Wynn. John Henry Wynn was born
    
    
    
    
    
    
    in Butler Cty. OH in 1824.      
    the 1820 Butler census Morgan twp p029 shows a male child under 10 a male
    19-25 and a male over 45 with one female 16-25 if the young couple is
    James and Mary, who is the elderly male? The 1830 Butler index shows no
    
    
    
    
    
    
    James Winn- where had they gone,  so early??? the IN reference, Warren
    County is the only hint of where we might start digging. I'll be on the
    
    
    
    
    
    
    web, the BLM records for IN and MN this evening.  Let you know if it
    makes any sense.
