Notes


John Gunnoe

1. "Reference Book of Wyoming Co", Bowman, page 386.
John Gunnoe (1726-1804), son of Daniel and Sarah Britton Gunnoe, was a
Baptist Minister in VA.
He traveled in New Jersey, Virginia, KY, and NC. He married Mary
Stites in Morristown, NJ. Their children were: John Stites Gunnoe, Daniel H.
Gunnoe (b in 1758) and nine others.
2. "Reference Book of Wyoming Co", Bowman, page 386.
Sally Stewart, daughter of Ralph and Mary Clay Stewart, married Daniel H.
Gunnoe, Sr. Before her marriage she had children, Robert Stewart and Mary
(sic see Ref 3) Gunnoe (is this a daughter of Daniel Gunnoe's?, yes).
Daniel H. Gunnoe (b Yadkin, SC? sic? there is a Yadkin Co, NC) was living in
Frankfort, KY in 1788. Moved to what is now Raleigh Co, WV, date unknown.
3. E-mail 18 Jan 2001, Judy Gunnoe, JGunnoe.
She (Mary Kay Bowman) states that this John Gunnoe who married Mary Stites
was the father of Daniel H. Gunnoe. This is not correct. The dates do not
match up. Judy Gunnoe has a book of memories witten by this John Gunnoe
which sheds light on the metter. There were two John Gunnoes both of which
had sons named Daniel; however, this Daniel was born in Yadkin Co, SC. This
Daniel's first wife was Martha "Patsy" Bryan (they had two sons and two
daughters). On 21 May 1808 this Daniel married his second wife, Jemima
Robertson. This marriage produced six sons and two dayghter. They lived in
KY.
Robert Stewart was born out of wedlock; however, Mary was a daughter of
Daniel's.
