renee_legg — 2009-11-10 06:01:21Z

I am not sure of much on this person: what I do think is that he came from England (maybe Ireland or Scotland - however I do think England)

He was born about 1860's ... I am thinking this Because he was Married to Mary Woodland (listed on a Census as MARY A. - not sure if this is accurate) she was born in Oct of 1862 according to the census.

They Came from England in about 1906 - to canada

there are 4 daughters
Amelia - Patrick Burns and then married Francis Joseph Derosier

Bridget Gunn who married Samuel John Murray
had 2 children that i know of born in ontario
1909 and 1911

Sarah M. who married William P. Cain

last Florence Gunn married Charles Brothers
they married 7 jan 1909

any help on this family is appreciated

Thank you
Renee

Thank you for the pictures, do you know any male Gunn's from this family of Gunn's, it would be good for dna to tie this family to others, it seems like it stops with George T. Gunn's father. Nicholas P. Gunn and Mahala. My other side of Gunn's goes back to Thomas and Sarah Boatwright Gunn. It sure would be good to see if this is the same family.

There were 2 people named Willis F Gunn:
The one born 1905 married Ruth Elizabeth Shepherd and died FTW June 1939 and hiis parents were Floyd and Lillian.

The one we are looking for parents of was born about 1855 in Michigan and died March 1940 in FTW, he married Elizabeth Smith in 1874.

Your great grandfather is the grandson of the Willis F Gunn we are trying to trace.

This is an old thread but the Willis F. Gunn you refer to that died around 1940 (actually 1939) was born 1905. He was my great Grandfather. I have more info if interested.

I have seen one item that might tie Ida Bell Gunn to this family but don't see anything in the graves or family tree. She married Perry Garey (Gray in marriage record) in Frio County, TX in 1894. I believe she was 16 so her birth date would be abt 1878. Have you run across an Ida B or Ida Bell Gunn? Thank you.

Are these 4 men Gunns or Winns????

KatyH321 — 2009-09-22 17:42:43Z

I am hoping someone knows who these 4 men are standing behind Calvin Winn are; the picture may have been taken abt. 1945. The back of the pictures says only Grandpa Winn. I sort of remember my mother-in-law saying that they were Gunns but can't remember if she ever said what the first names were.
Thanks for your time and help,

P.P.Gunn and his descendants

muller1938 — 2009-08-22 00:09:57Z

I am working on my wife's MORRIS family and have come across something of a mystery.
Mary Elizabeth Morris (1853-1926) married Masadonia D. FOWLER (1846-1926) in about 1872 in Calhoun Co., WV.

They had a daughter, Mary Elizabeth Fowler (1882-??), who married Luther LITTLE (1879-1972). Mary Elizabeth Fowler and Luther Little, in turn, had a daugther, Bertha Viola Little (1912-??), who married Thurl GUNN (or Edward Thurl Gunn) (1914-2002). And there is lies the mystery. Who is Thurl Gunn?

Some sources list him as the son of Peter Poe (P.P.) Gunn (1897-1979) and someone by the name of Flossie (last name unknown). P.P.Gunn was a prominent politician and businessman in Calhoun Co., WV.

Most of the online sources for P.P. Gunn do NOT list Flossie as a wife (or anything else) or Thurl as his son.

Flossie is listed in the 1920 census as the wife of Ray Boggs and a complex household which I think the census taker may have screwed up (see below):

1920 Census listing for Sherman, Calhoun Co., WV (ED 22, p. 8A):

Claria B Pettit, age 46, Head of household, Single, b. WV, Occ. Farmer

Cora M Burrows, age 54, Sister, Wd, b. WV

Gearl Burrows, age 19, daughter, Single, b. WV
(surely the daughter of Cora Burrows and not Caria Pettit)

Earl Burrows, age 19, son, Single, b. WV
(surely the son of Cora Burrows and not Caria Pettit)

Ray Boggs, age 30, son-in-law, Married, b. WV, Occ. Farmer
(Son-in-law of whom: Cora of Claria?)

Flossie Boggs, age 24, daughter, Married, b. WV
(the daughter of Claria Pettit OR Cora Burrows?)

Thurl Gunn, age 4, son, single, b. WV
(probably the son of Flossie Boggs and not Claria, but . . . ..)

Thurl is NOT living with Ray and Flossie Boggs at the time of the 1930 census and I have been unable to identify where he might have been. He would have only been 15.

Thurl Gunn apparently died in Round Rock, Williamson Co., TX in 2002.

Can any one help to identify who the father of Thurl Gunn might be?

Can anyone help to identify the maiden name of his mother, Flossie?

Willing to exchange information.

Re: Gunn Devon

jdg1704 — 2009-06-19 13:28:52Z

Records indicate Jasper arrived in Boston from England in 1635 aboard the ship "Defence." I have a note regarding a newsletter of the Clan Gunn Society of North America in which there is an article by Lois Chase Milne who is also a descendant of Jasper. She has done research on this Gunn line. She states that Jasper's christening was at Great Burstead, England, dated 9 August 1607. He was the fifth of six children, the only boy. His parents were Henry Gunne and wife Sarah. The clue to this was a child that sailed on their ship "The Defence," in 1635, named Phebe Maulder. Phebe's christening record is also located in the same parish. Milne believes the Gunns were a few generations removed from Scotland, where many Jasper Gunns are found in records of this time period.

I also have this note: "I'm a Jasper Gunn descendant, still living in Milford, CT. There still are several of us here, but only one family with the Gunn surname. ... I, too, have heard that Jasper Gunn came from Great Burstead. It's in Essex, just south of Billericay. I found this information in the IGI at the local Mormon Family History Center."

I hope this information is useful to you.

By the way, there is a small town named Gunn in Devonshire. I believe it's southwest of South Molton, where there are records of Gunns in the late 1500s.

Re: Gunn Devon

jdg1704 — 2009-06-19 13:03:25Z

My ancestor, Thomas Gunn, arrived in New England from Devonshire in 1630, probably on the sailing ship "Mary and John" out of Plymouth. He was born about 1614. His parents are unknown, though I have identified a couple of good suspects. There are records of Gunns living in Devonshire in the 1500s. It's possible they were decendents of Scots, but it's likely they were not.

"...an article by Lois Chase Milne ... a descendant [of Jasper]... She states that Jasper's christening has been found, located at Great Burstead, England, dated 9 August 1607.

From James Gunn (descendant of Thomas Gunn of Dorchester, Windsor and Westfield) Apparently there is no relation between Jasper and Thomas.

Re: Gunn Devon

Betsy,

There is a lot online about Jasper Gunn. I believe Ken Gunn's website has much of it.

Jasper Gunn sailed from London to Boston on the ship Defence, which left London about the end of July and arrived in Boston on 8 Oct 1635. The trip took about 70 days back then!

My line is the Thomas Gunn line. Thomas was probably from Devon, but I don't believe that's the case with Jasper.

Good luck with your search,
James Gunn

Re: Pictou, Nova Scotia Gunns

karenkaye94 — 2009-09-15 04:54:31Z

Hello - I'm actually looking for information on Gunns from the Pictou area. My gggrandfather, Donald Gunn, immigrated to Nova Scotia along with either 2 or 4 of his brothers. According to my dad they were all ships carpenters - Donald is listed as such on marriage records of his children. The Gunn brothers arrived in Pictou in either 1841-42 or 1846-47 - at least one of the brothers stayed in the Pictou area. Donald and his wife, one Catherine Ross (b 1811 in Scotland) traveled on to Cape Breton and settled in New Harris, Victoria County. I do not know Donald's yob or place of birth in Scotland - judging by Catherine's yob I am guesstimating 179? - 1810. They named their only son Alexander and he named his only son William; these may have been Donald's brothers names. I am hoping to find a trace of Gunns who immigrated to the Pictou area around that time who were ships carpenters by trade. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Reuben Gunn

vickie807 — 2009-07-17 01:40:43Z

i came across a book on line,the book is Reuben Gunn written by Benjamin Jesse Gunn in 1891 FT. Scott,KS. Monitor Pub.House and book Bindery

Though I would let you know what he says about Reuben.

The Parentage and nationality of Reuben Gunn is probably destined to remain unknown,four different branches of his family asserting,in turn,German,Scotch,Welsh or Irish parentage: but those who favor the first seemto have the best evidence. The son of a Grand Duke in Germany, bornabout 1752, he landed at Charleston,SC in 1769. But little is known of his life. He married a Mrs. Hudson,a French lady whose maiden name was Mary Goforth. Her daughter Rebecca Edwards,left a family which can not be found. Reuben Gunns sons and daughter were born in N.C.reared in S.C. and emigrated to Dickson co,TN.in the early part of the present century.There after the Mothers death he married Nancy Jones. He died in 1822.
