Message Board Post:
Have any researchers done much research on Catherine Winn, the wife of Aeneas Sharp
Galbraith Sr? I am looking for her birth parents' names and if anyone knows the first
name of the Catherine's reported first husband with the surname of Minton. Also what
is the source of that marriage information with Minton? Where was she listed as Mrs.
Catherine Minton in the records?
I know that Catherine and Aeneas were married in Floyd County, IN...it seems after they
had some children together. Why there? There are some Winn families living in Harrison
County, IN near Floyd, IN that originally came from VA through KY before Indiana. Perhaps
she belongs to that line?
I have also found a James Minton that married a ? Winn in Claiborne County, TN before
1820. James was reported to be a son of Ebenezer Minton of Washington County, VA who died
in TN. (The Galbraiths lived in Washington County, VA at one time.) James Minton and ?
Winn reportedly had a son named Calvin Minton in 1821 in VA although I haven't found
the source linking Calvin with James and ? Winn. Calvin Minton was married in Roane
County, TN, lived in Morgan County, IN in 1850 and then moved to Iowa and Missouri before
he passed away in Oklahoma in 1900. I am assuming that if this ? Winn was Catherine that
Calvin was raised by one of his uncles (a couple of them lived in Roane, TN). Parts of
Roane County were once Hawkins County I believe so this scenario is plausible.
Anyway, I would love to get some help! Dana Love, loveandchu(a)gmail.com
