From what I’ve seen so far, Gwin is also Gwinn, Gwynne, Wynne and even Winn. Mordecai left his will listed under Gwinn. Can’t find any last name for wife Elizabeth. He born in Va c1720. I can’t even remember what I typed in but I googled and ended up with Melungeon related surnames with Gwin as also see Winn in 1850 Va. census. Thought that was interesting. Mordecai’s will lists his children. Saj
Sue: I just found her name also spelled Gwen and Gwenn. Is this Melungeon list from the derogatory usage of the term or an actual grouping? This may be interesting. The plot thickins.
