Dear Jackie:
I am looking into my Ginn family. I think we are closely related to this Ruffin Ginn. He lives next to my James B. Ginn in Pickens Dist. SC on the 1840 census and nearby on 1850 GA. My James B. is in Walker Co., GA. My Ginns are in McNairy Co., TN by 1860 and on to Arkansas after that.
My line:
James B. Ginn = Elizabeth (Boatright?)
b. ca. 1816 Ga
d. McNairy Co., TN
Pernetta Ginn = Joseph Riley McVey
Her brother Erving Ginn had son William Ruffin Ginn.
b. 1848 GA
d. 1930 Izard co., Ark.
Mahala Ethel Ann McVey = Maxey W. Yancey
b. 1888 Izard co., Ark.
d. 1942 Izard co., Ark.
Hobert Yancey = Vernene Webb
b. 1916 Izard co., ARk.
Barbara Yancey = James E. Riggan
b. 1946 Grant Co., WA
Steve Riggan (me)
b. 1967 Brewster, Okanogan co., WA
Hope you can help me link my Ginns back. Thanks.
Steve Riggan

I suspect that my ancestor James B. Ginn is the son of Ruffin Ginn but can't prove it. I found your name in the Rootsweb database. Hope you can help me.

I think I found Elizabeth Ginn (widow) in Gordon Co GA in 1860. Her daughter Elizabeth was married to James Tate. in 1860 William R. Ginn is listed in Bullock Co GA. Frances Marion, William W. Louisa, LaFayette and Theresa are in Gordon Co GA.
Due to the fact that Ruffin and James B. are neighbors in Pickens Co TN, I am surmising that they are father and son. Such would like to find a document that would prove it. Do you know anything about the rest of these lines?

We were talking about Translyvania Ginn -- my sister and I KNOW Grandma Melton used to talk about her, and not being a common name, I am sure she is the one she talked about. And, it WAS one of my grandmother's grandmothers.
My sister was trying to see if she could find anything more about her, and came across that name, by going to some records related to her. She found the place where there was a person with the given name of Translyvania whose parents were a Princess & a Duke. So she says she is going to assume we are related to royalty -- even if we are not! HO. (Sister is a nut, BTW. ho.)
(They were Princess/Duke of Translyvania, but named a daughter that.)
Anyway, what I have on my family tree is: Jesse & Transylvania Ginn, first. Then I have Ruffin Ginn, but I don't have his wife's name. Next is James B. Ginn & Elizabeth (Boatright) Ginn, parents of my G-grandma Pernetta.
Pernetta married (Joseph) Riley McVey. That is my Grandma Melton's parents. My Grandma was Laura Bell McVey and my mother was Nora Melton.
That is the way it is on the Hendrix AND the McVey family sites.
Later! ANN

You said
So assuming this other researcher and her family are remembering correctly that their grandmother's grandmother was named Transylvania, it is probably true that Ruffin Ginn was the son of Elisha and Transylvania.
End
OK - let's take that as a working hypothesis. Ruffin was born in 1788. The next child I have recorded for Elisha and Trasylvania is Elitha in 1799. Then there are two more in a hurry and that is that.
I think that if this is true with Ruffin, then most likely Isaac, Sherwood, Jesse and Wiley are Elisha and Transylvania's as well.
What do you think?
Do you have a birth date for William aka Thomas?
Michael
