The 1910 Census in Cape Girardeau has 3 Windeknechts, Frank, Fernidand, and Henry. All three family are listed in a row on the same page, so they must have lived next door to each other. I need to transcribe the census.

Hello, although I have no positive connections to the O'Guins listed in your geneology, the oral history I know fits the history of both of our families. I was told the O'Guins' came up out of Georgia and floated down the Tennessee River on flat boats and settled along the Tennessee River around the areas of Camden and Waverly, Tennessee. I know little about my Father's family, Vernon Edward O'Guin. His Father's name was Thomas Ura O'Guin and his Mother's maiden name was Hester Shaver. We were told that she took a boat to the US from Liverpool, England in the 1880's. A coin, called a Penny Chapter, minted in Memphis, TN in 1848 with the Masonic Lodge emblem bore the name Thomas Ura O'Guin as well. This coin was passed down to me and later stolen. We know that my Grandfather had several brothers and sisters, however, I know little about them. The brothers were very large men when that was uncommon. They became well known Memphis, TN policemen in the early part of the 20th century. My Grandfather died in 1924, and my Grandmother would speak little about the O'Guin family. We had numerous relatives in the Camden / Waverly area, and I have been told that some of the family had moved to Missouri. I was also told that the O'Guins' raised horses and their one-time neighbors', the James', who moved to Missouri (Jesse James et. al.), would return to Tennessee to buy fresh horses and hide out when the heat was on in Missouri! Please feel free to contact me if you like. I am very interested in any type of history! Regards, Mark Timothy O'Guin (Tim)

I am writing for my husband who is at work right now. I was surfing this afternoon on Tennessee history when I happened upon your web site. I've bookmarked it for Tim so he can review it the next time he is surfing. Tim's Dad, Vernon Edward O'Guin, will celebrate his 90th birthday this month! Regards, Susan O'Guin

Hello, I am a Windeknecht, but of an entirely different line. I have found no connection to your family. But I am interested nevertheless because of the unique last name. John Windeknecht
