Hello friend,
I have some different dates...here is what I have and where it came from:
James Morgan Wynn born Dec 1861 (1900 Harlan, KY census, Sheet 14A; line 48)
but in 1880, he was listed with his parents and the year of birth would have been 1865.So, I checked with a descendant who has several pieces of information (Gary Wynn) on ancestry, and Gary says the date of birth is 25 Dec 1865.This seems very likely as the census of 1880 was taken in the summer and so the birth year would be a year off if his birthday had been late in the year (December)
Gary says that James and Nancy were married in 1882, but I never found a marriage record.However, I did find one for James Morgan and 2nd wife Martha Blevins.
Familysearch.org; KY Marriages, 1785-1979; database online; film 1876465; pg 417; states:
J.M. Wynn married Martha Blevins 27 Nov 1899 Harlan, KY
I used James Morgan's son, Ben Wynn, to verify who the mother was/who James was married to.Ben's death certificate listed his parents as "Morgan Wynn & Nancy Shoemaker".Ben died 18 Nov 1949 in Harlan.I found this in Family Search in KY Deaths and Burials, 1843-1970.
How are you related to the Wynn family??
