Position:Home>Genealogy> I'm looking for information about the following ancestors:?


Question:I'm trying to make up a family tree and have hit a roadblock, so I'm asking for help from anyone who may be able to help:

Glen Hollis Winn -- b. 18 Nov 1893 in Wisconsin; d. 15 Jan 1975 in Longview, TX; married to Alice Maud Greenfield*

Burfie Frederick Jones -- b. 29 July 1902; d. 6 Nov 1984 in Hallsville, TX; married to Eunice Gladys Eldridge**

*Glen Edward Winn is my grandfather, I'm looking for his father's (Glen Hollis Winn's) parents

**Burfie and his brother married sisters (Eunice and Avis Eldridge). In researching, my grandfather, Burfie FELTON Jones shows up as being Burfie Frederick occasionally, as well as Burfie Jr. It's confusing the heck out of me.



My family tree is entirely too lateral for my own peace of mind.

Burfie is an enigma. But I was able to follow the family through brother Clee (it's such an unusual name that everyone else filters out). Glen was born in Soldier's Grove, Crawford Co, Wisconsin. His parents were Lorenzo (also calle Renso) and Minnie. Lorenzo was born about 1851 in Ohio and Minnie was born about 1869 in Wisconsin. They were married about 1888. This is from both the federal censuses and the 1905 State of Wisconsin Census done on 1 Jun 1905.

From his father's age (he was 40 when Clee was born), it's pretty probable that he was married before.

I possibly have him in the 1870 census of Dekorra, Columbia Co, Wisconsin as the son of Lowell D and Mary E Winn. I've done a little searching to verify it's truly him, but without his marriage license it will be hard.
